The best part of this will be the salty tears of the Lens Flare fanbois when this is all they get. Their ships will become power creeped just like all the rest of em, and become a rarity. Just play the game, make fun of the Lens Flare parts and move on. It is less than a drop of water in the bucket that is STO. New content will come along and it will be just another minor part of STO. Think of all the epic trolling in sector space chat in about a year. You will see things like "hey Lens Flare fanbois, where is all the stuff you guys said was going to change the game, make it better? Oh you were talking about that 30min of content that was released last year. How's that going for you?"

Get over it, it is part of the Franchise. Don't give into your hate, it will only lead to the Dark Side. Oops, wrong Franchise.

Count this long time Trek fan happy to see the Kelvin Timeline added..
Same here. I personally liked the JJ adaptions. If people don't like it DON'T BUY IT or just stop playing. If you buy em and/or keep playing all you are doing is showing them that you actually do like it cause you are still here.
I love how Star Trek is about change and to accept the difference. I mean, we have a guy in a skirt in TNG,
We have same sex relations, bald captain in TNG, we have a black commander / captain in DS9, a Woman captain in Voyager.
But a reboot of Star Trek? Then the thinking comes down to the stone age again.
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"

Nobody wants the mask ripped off their certainty that they're just so pseudo-intellectually superior to those unwashed movie-going masses.
Because it would be crime if people watched Star Trek just for fun.
The real fans are always hard critics, and whatever happens, they will never be happy.
Star Trek has never been strong on the big screen (except Undiscovered Country IMO). Star Trek is made for TV to create deep connection with the crew and their adventures.
Movies are just shallow money making media.
With that said, I loved the Kelvin-Timeline movies, great sci-fi action, but Star Trek for me belongs in series, not movies.
You never get really attached to characters in movies like in tv series. The movies are about 2 hours, and during that time you have put the character development in the audience face and give us explosions and visual to stimulate.
You know as a fan of the orignal ST... i found NG to be total utopian garbage, not to mention a french captain with an english accent... i thought that was one of the most funny and stupid things ever... even if they recast the role... should of taken into account his accent and changed the stupid caps name.
I almost disputed the idea of "real" fans, until I remembered that that's exactly what I refer to myself as when I start ranting about how the old Star Wars EU was better than that A New Hope rip off they call Episode 7, lol.

I hate JJ Spoof Trek and always will. But to leave the game for it. That is a new one. I will just ignore those ships and mission. Unless they make the AOY do them. If so, i just click and do it as fast as I can. Like I do on the repeat missions to get the other rewards. This way I can burn right on through it and get it over with.

I am not a true fan of Star trek.. I think, Star Trek has always been there for me during my childhood with TNG.
I found the show entertaining and I love Sci-fi and ships so it was win win for me.
The problem almost every Star Trek show have had is that the first 1-3 seasons of TNG, DS9 and VOY was very hard to watch. It was always at the beginning of season 4 things started to pan out for the actors and story writers and things got interested.
The only real problem I had with ENT was that we were going back in time instead of forward, never liked that idea. The transporter was scary, photon torpedo didn't exist, we had to explore the entire Quadrant yet again when we already knew everything existed from a audience stand point.

Always a fine day when a Star Trek fan announces as loudly as possible they have no imagination whatsoever.
Its not about France or England... Picard's from EARTH. One tiny planet where travel and the mingling of family names, ethnicity, and accents is absolutely trivial.
You act like your head would fall off if you ever met a Korean who spoke with a Texas accent and had a French last name. Gotta warn you, we have those today and all we have shuffling the global deck are airliners, not transporters...
If anyone seriously though this was an "if" subject and not a "when" subject, you were living in a dream world. Now it's come crashing down.

My favorite Star Wars aliens probably won't be readded, they were somewhat controversial among fans. That would be the Yuuzhan Vong.

More seriously I hated those novels and take the utmost glee in their having been rendered entirely moot, but if you enjoyed them more power to you. Star Wars is a big place. We can all live on different branches of the tree without having to try and poison the roots for spite.

I mostly just liked that they were different than generic sith or imperial warlord of the month. Only one I have trouble rereading is the one where Jacen is a prisoner.

I do appreciate that in principle and I do approve of them at least trying to actually break away from the zero sum game status quo. But they lost all those points and more when the Yuuzhan Vong were presented with all the breathless enthusiasm of an 11 year old who thinks they've created the greatest aliens ev-ar. "Cuze they're from another galaxy! ...and immune to the Force! ...and their ship shoot lava! ...and they're actually alive like big space whales!"
I just wanted to roll my eyes, pat the kid on the head, and say "That would all be great if I'd never read another sci-fi story in my life. But I have, and you're trying Way Too Hard." It was like being bludgeoned with every cockamamie thought about super-neato-keen aliens that went through someone's head with no filter at all. Equal parts juvenile and desperate.
But damn if it didn't add a ton of new worlds to the setting. As something to mine for an MMO expansion STO-nostalgia-style it would be a goldmine.

You need more anime in your diet . I recommend Outlanders and Lost Universe. You can probably find clips of the space combat on YouTube.
Actually one of the super-tech badguy ships in Lost Universe not only deflected incoming fire with singularities but had all of its weapons mounted on the back and whipped the beams around to hit targets in any direction by bending the shots around micro-black holes.

Most of the old EU was junk - fixed it for you. Lots of god-awful novels written by useless graphomaniacs like Kevin J. Anderson* with rare occasional good fiction from Zahn or Stackpole.
*(He really should be taken for his very own Walk of Shame for so-called "Dune prequels", one of the most terrible sci-fi out there I was unfortunate to read).
