Star trek online news is kind of light today. ( lighter then lamerant's article two days ago. )

First Up MMOSITE.com Added our Client to their downloads page. Not much can be said here except for the fact that we are now listed along great titles like:
Cabal Online
Rakion
and
Soul of the Ultimate Nation
( top three downloaded game )

While there is no problems with the site, in fact we have a 7.3 rating on the site, and the editor gave us a Five Star Recommendation. But to kill off the fears that it is a bad thing to be listed along with F2P MMOs on a mostly Free to play site. Other games, such as WOW, and SWG, are up on the same site, so this is not a sign of a Free to play Apocalypse for this game.

Anyway If you have any reason to want to download the Client, or you just want to check out the website.
THE LINKS RIGHT HERE.


On other Kind of STO news. J.J. Abrams is making another movie. Sadly it is not star trek. :( And if you saw Iron Man 2 in the last few days then you most likely have seen the Train Wreak of a Teaser. One thing that bugs me is, WHY IS HE NOT WORKING ON THE NEXT START TREK? Sure he wants to do other things, but he signed his soul over to us with the production of Star Trek XI , so there is no excuse.

I kid, but it is a really good trailer, and if you want to check it out, CLICK HERE

As I said it's a light day today. Not much going on.

I report it, and you debate it.

    lol your timing is amazing I just edited my post so exactly what happened wouldn't happen :p

    As a side note it's not been confirmed if J.J. will be or wont be directing but as far as I know it's his production company that are confirmed to be involved, but I wouldn't hold your breath for him directing he's more of a 'wars' fan than trek and he doesn't usually get involved in sequels.

    Looks like a new Cloverfield movie without the annoying Blair Witch effect...though with a name like Super 8 and the news that the trailer footage was shot separately from the movie, he might still manage to fail at this one, too.

    As far as the next Star Trek movie, I think Kurtzman and Orci are still working on the script, but I haven't read any updates on it in awhile.

    I consider that an enormous blessing for the Star Trek franchise.

    Personally, I could care less why. I hope they give the franchise to someone who will know how to write/direct an appropriate Star Trek film.

    Some of us liked the new star trek. but he could go less on the lens flair. Personally I thought it wasn't to bad, and put some energy in to the franchise, and the best part is the fact that it is in an alternate time line so the work of the passed isn't messed up.

    Oh you can be sure he will make the next one... that man is a Multi Tasker!
    Lost, Fringe, random Movies ... all at the same time somehow.

    Somewhat like Rick Berman who was maybe 2 times at the Voyager Set in 7 Seasons (according to Garret W.a.n.g )


    The trailer ... ahem TEASER uses the same metallic 3D Font as Star Trek did.... me does not like that.

    "Area 51" peaked my intrest but nothing else to see here.

    I love JJ Abrams.

    He's like Joss Whedon for adults.

    ;)

    To each their own and if you enjoyed the film that's great. I thought it stunk. Lens flares,"brewery" engine rooms, quirky midget alien sidekicks, weak villains and a story with more holes than a block of swiss cheese do not a good Trek film make in my eyes.

    It has a good cast. I'd like to see them used properly though with a good script.

    Yea the Brewery was kind of funny.... in a sad kind of way. But you have to take it for what it is, it's a new action kind of star trek, it is not like our old star trek. One reason why I liked it, was the fact that on opening night me and 7 other friends went, only two of us were real star trek fans, the other went for other reasons, but they all came out loving it.

    but it's not the same as the older movies.

    That's great news!

    Maybe now we can get back into the 'prime' universe and stop using time travel as a story vehicle and planet-destruction for shock value. Vulcan AND Romulus in the same movie? Please...

    That mite be kind of hard, I'm not sure where I saw it. ( I have to find it for a thread I'm going to post on STO time line, and the other time lines later this week. ) But I think CBS gave us it's blessing for the Prime time line. So our soft canon ( if I remember right ) is the prime time line. if that's a good thing or not it is hard to tell. But it looks like me mite be stuck in ( lets call it ) the Beta Time line.

    I think the whole point of the reboot was so they can do away with canon and start the franchise off on a clean slate. They are no longer bound by Star Trek of old. New Star Trek is for new fans. I don't think they have much concern for the old.

    I doubt we will ever see a prime time movie on screen again. In 20 years the new star trek will be all they know.

    It was your run of the mill popcorn flick. The story was ridiculous, hence the overuse of lens flares and other SFX gimmicks and cheesy dialogue.

    I can understand Paramount wanting to "revitalize the franchise", but if anything Star Trek IV showed that Trek can appeal to a large, non-Trek audience as well. It just needs a well written story.

    As I said, they picked a talented bunch of actors for the roles (although I had wanted Paul McGillion for Scotty over Simon Pegg - nothing against him though) and I'd like to see them be able to show off their talent with a good story.

    Kirk going from Cadet to Captain in the span of a few days was ridiculous.

    IMO the last few Trek movies suffered for the same reasons. The story wasn't quite "epic" enough for a feature film. They seemed more like 2 hour regular episodes than something worthy of a feature film.

    I don't mind the alternate timeline idea since it allows them to "start from scratch" per say without having to worry too much about what came before. I'd just rather see a well thought out story and script next time. If I wanted to watch a Trek comedy flick, I'd pop Galaxy Quest into the DVD player.

    "Star Trek Online is set in the "prime" Star Trek reality."

    I know I saw it somewhere but it seems that CBS handed us the Prime time line. I'm going to get in to this more after I finish the need of the many and after I do a little research.

    Regrettibly, I believe you're correct.

    It's time to admit I'm old and the spirit of Star Trek is faded.

    Well it looks like it's being handed down to a new generation. you can see that in the prime time line, between the last TNG movie, and Enterprise. they were still Prime Star Trek but it was starting to change from TOS, TNG, and even DS9. The glory days are mostly over.

    Yes it is set in the prime time. That's not the issue. I'm not talking about the game. I'm talking about future screen events such as movies and TV series ( I fully expect that JJ has a TV series in his head, but not in the prime universe ).
    Sorry if I misunderstood and you were talking about the game. That's definitely in the prime time line.

    ST XI made well over three times as much money as ST VI. You're right that it's a good comparison for your point, but only because it shatters said point into tiny little pieces.

    Best. Comments. Here. Ever.

    Kirk bypasses the entire Military Hierarchy after one major mission...He was good, but not that good.

    What? The new Star Trek film is still in pre-production. You do realize that JJ Abrams is probably capable of doing more than one project at a time, right? ;) (Seriously, when the time comes for filming to begin, he may or may not helm the next one, but I would count him doing it out yet.)

    I believe that 3 times more than Trek IV is just a tad overstating.... nor does it "shatter" anything. It's a well known fact that Trek IV appealed to a large non-Trek audience at the time.

    You also may want to check up on Roman numerals... I was referring to Star Trek 4, not 6 ;)

    You guys are worse then this nerd I came across at a Hollywood Video what was mad because Optimus Prime was not a flat nosed truck in the new movie, and that one thing ruined it for him.

    Oh come on, it the same way in the game.

    Movie... Here you go cadet your first command the flag ship of the federation.

    STO... Here you Ensign your fist command, some old rattling piece of junk.


    ok so it isn't as bad, but still fact remains, why don't we have to spend years to get a command of our own. . :D

    That's nothing. First Contact was ruined for my Uncle when he claimed that Worf's phaser rifle should have floated away when he put it down to release the deflector dish despite the fact that you hear it magnatize when he puts it down...we still argue about that to this day. Niw you must admit, mine is rather small compared to that :P

    You're not immediately promoted to Captain after your first mission in STO, nor are you given command of the Federation's state-of-the-art ship.
