    So excited for this.

    But, that excitement is dampened today by the real life passing of Anton Yelchin yesterday. :( This announcement is supposed to be fun, and that cast should be celebrating the upcoming release of their new movie. Both are diminished today. :(

    Thoughts & prayers to his friends & family, and glad to hear that STO will tribute Yelchin this week... we can get back to fun in due time.

    Hoo boy is it getting interesting around here! Cannot wait to see this content.
    <humor>Just know, guys, that if you put the Vengeance in a lock box as the super rare grand prize, a la the Acheros or Vonph, you will decimate my bank account and probably be directly responsible for my wife leaving me and taking away my house and children. You wouldn't want that on your collective conscience, would you?! </humor>

    Disappointed here. On the bright side though, at least I'll keep my money for something more useful :D

    What the actual... O.o

    So the JJ-Trek android that started popping up on Tribble was no bogus or easter egg after all. Reddit was full of it at the time :smiley:

    Okay, so...

    TOS content will have film grain.

    Kelvin timeline will have lens flare?

    Fine, as long as it's just a "visit" and a tie-in to make the picture nice and round, and here's why:

    I'm willing to grant that JJ-Trek re-galvanized the audience and drew in more viewers for the older movies and series but as a general direction for our Trek to go on... Feeling a bit (just a weeee bit) recoiling from it. Considering the different opinions out there about JJ-Trek, the STO team is potentially walking on lava. :smiley: Will give it a fair shot though.

    PS I'll miss Anton Yelchin's rendition of Chekov though. :/

    YES!

    Never thought I'd see the day. Too bad it happened so soon after such a tragic occurrence.

    Cool. And if it's set in the beginning of the JJ verse maybe there should be a mission that prevents Into Darkness from happening.

    I'm going to skip this as quickly as I skipped the Delta Quadrant patrol missions.

    Having everything in the game completely optionable is the best part about the game!

    I'm so devestated by this I could eat a chimichanga!

    :(

    It's like a supernova blew up my entire world and now I just want to go back in time and take revenge on everyone who plotted against me.

    Fascinating.

    This'll be both loved and hated.

    I'll hold my opinion about it until I see it live, admittedly some of that Alternate Timeline stuff does look spiffy.

    Hope Cryptic knows what they're getting into... Lol.
  • bberge1701bberge1701 Member Posts: 726 Bug Hunter
    And now we know the real reason for the lighting revamp!

    I kid....

    Definitely excited for this! Hope we can get those uniforms in some way, shape, or form.

    Great news, really looking forward to this. I hope it will be more than one mission. I also can't wait to see Vengeance and Narada in game.
  • nadiezjanadiezja Member Posts: 629 Arc User
    Yay. :)

    This sounds actively interesting.

    As much as I hate the new movies (and I don't use the word lightly), I am willing to give it a try in game format and see if Cryptic can pull off a good story.

    Boo.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.
  • iamynaughtiamynaught Member Posts: 1,285 Arc User
    So, does this mean that the possibility is there that humans with advanced cybernetic implants (like 0718) could be a potential LTS exclusive?

    No surprise really that the AR is crossing over into STO. Star Trek has always dealt with alternate realities and some of the better episodes of the various series deal with them. While I'm not the biggest fan of the new Trek movies to this point, they are not the worst movies I've paid to see.

    I look forward to seeing what this cross-over may bring us.

    Take heart Snoggy, it just means more and varied TOS stuff for the two of us.

    I like the description implying the Kelvin Timeline is a pre-existing alternate universe, not a split in the timeline. That justifies any difference between the pre-incursion universes as not a problem. Though I do hope that there are similarities such that we could get Keener's species, the Nibirans (if they survived), the Franklin's class (as well as the Kelvins's and other JJ ships), and whatever planet Beyond takes place on in game.

    Also, since its safe to say now that we'll get 0718 in the game, I even more want to get Brent Spiner in. Not only to have a stand alone Data mission, but to have one with him, 0718, and the Doctor. Maybe have them deal with the Automated Personnel Units, or the STO timeline's version of the alien force that made 0718, or some other appropriate thing.

    The Kelvin Timeline (good name) seems now to be taking its place as an addition to Star Trek, rather than a replacement going forward. And it feels better to me that way.

    Also, as a Foundry Author, I'm going to want to know whether we can make missions in that timeline or not.
