'09 Constitution

tinman56tinman56 Member Posts: 0 Arc User
So, I've been using my old constitution in game for a few hours, and I started wondering about something. I apologise if this has been asked many times before, but what's the stance on using the new film constitution class ship in game? It looks different enough to be considered a different version. Could that ship be included in-game, even as a low tier choice? Or is that restricted for reasons?

    Its a rights issue, Cryptic has the rights to ships from the first ten movies and all the shows, which reside with CBS. The rights to everything in Abrams Trek belong to Paramount.

    So, unless they sign a deal (which I find unlikely) there will not be any ships from ST2009 or Into Darkness showing up in STO.

    I think I might have heard that reason before actually, ahh well, I am a bit of an airhead. Thanks then, I guess a souped up hot rod enterprise in space was never meant to beee. Except in the movies of course.

    You can always try the Exeter, it's not quite JJ but it's not THAT far off either.

    I actually use parts from all of the variants, it looks pretty good together. But you're right, what we have now isn't really THAT much of a difference from the JJ connie. I guess we don't really need it anyway :)

    I thought Paramount OK'd it way back in early 2010, like they had it all set up and ready to go, and were going to package it with those Abrams-style Uniforms they had designed and shown in Beta.

    But there was some issue with Atari and it being based in Europe that threw the whole deal off. I think Emmert or Zinc mentioned it in a podcast from back in beta.

    To be honest, I'm surprised JJ and co. aren't tripping over themselves to allow the JJprise in STO. More exposure = more movie sales. And it would even settle the T5 Connie debate!

    They could even do a JJverse lockbox: Feds get JJprise, KDF gets the new D7 design, and Romulans get a new T'liss design. Lobi ships could be the Jellyfish shuttle and maybe some of the other designs from the JJ movies. And the Narada's missile launcher would be fun as well.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    The JJ ship is twice the size of the original?

    On the gripping hand, it's not in the STO universe, and so far there have no interuniversal portals to any but the Mirror U. You might as well wish for an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, or the INSS MacArthur.

    (From here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Enterprise)

    Measurements for this version's final size range from 610 meters to 910 meters.[11][12][13][14] In an interview in Cinefex magazine No. 118, Industrial Light & Magic Art Director Alex Jaeger discussed the design's growth in size during early production of the film, saying "The reconfigured ship was a larger vessel than previous manifestations ? approximately 1,200 feet (370 m) long compared to the 947 foot (289 m) ship of the original series. Once we got the ship built and started putting it in environments it felt too small. The shuttle bay gave us a clear relative scale ? shuttles initially appeared much bigger than we had imagined ? so we bumped up the Enterprise scale, which gave her a grander feel and allowed us to include more detail." A special feature on starships in the Blu-ray Disc (BD) version of the movie gives the length as 2,379 feet (725 m).
