    Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.

    Probably people who hate the new stuff. Which is the sort of attitude that slowly kills franchises.

    It doesn't kill franchises... it just marginalizes them until we have purple-dragon CLOWNS running around desperately hoping anyone still listens to them.

    Only a week until the TV series reveal at Comic Con. :)

    And only a year until it's canceled because its fate is tied to the success of a streaming service that nobody will ever care about.

    There were some Section 31 starships in the KT comics that looked a bit like the Kelvin, but had a semi-circular saucer.

    I can't seem to find any pics of them though.


    Edit: Found 'em.

    Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.

    ok, my first thought "kinda chubby", my second "I want it!"

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    "And only a year until it's canceled because its fate is tied to the success of a streaming service that nobody will ever care about."

    Doubtful. When netflix blocked using VPNs, which effectly took away access to Star Trek from places like Canada which was only able to access star trek on the US verison of Netflix, they rescently had to add to the Netflix Canada because it was costing them serious customers. Star Trek is a big part of their business, its one of there most viewed shows.

    Star Trek is 60% roughly of what my family watches on Netflix, with shows like Bones, Last Man Standing, Murdoch Mysteries and formerly republic of Doyle making out most of the remaining 40%.

    And CBS has alot of other shows to offer. If they're smart they'll also make some deals to aquire more programming.

    If CBS access doesn't do well, but the show is doing well in other countries, then they won't cancel it, they'll most likely just sell it to Netflix to recoop their costs.

    In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the new star trek is carried by Netflix Canada & UK so that Netflix has its foot in the door should CBS pooch things, putting Netflix in the perfect position to try and buy the rights to make the show from CBS.

    I'd love to see a T6 Centaur class retrofit available.

    I'm a fan of the "less is more" direction of art, not really the "retro-throwback" direction. I can see the appeal of the new releases, however, it doesn't really strike my fancy. The new temporal releases are somewhat tempting, but still undecided on them. As far as the KT Heavy Command Cruiser and Intel Dread I'm not partial to either one- I happen to think the Intel Dread is actually quite hideous looking, personally. (perhaps that's the appeal for some)

    What I'd really like is for them to release retrofits of all previous base models (there are some available, but by no means all of them) and make them current tier and incorporate newer mechanics for specializations. Of course, they're not going to do that until they've milked the current cow dry (throwing people one bone at a time) but one can at least hope they'll come to their senses and realize that the tiering gimmick will only last for so long and isn't a sustainable path.
    It's not you- it's me. I just need my space.

    I'll take that, too


    What surprises me, though is a lack of whatever ship class the Kelvin itself was.

    NOT FUNNY!

    But on another note I'd also like the Okinawa class.

    What? Akula is Russian for "shark". Thus any vessel named that needs to look the part. :p that thing you posted looks like.... actually it doesn't resemble an animal at all, it looks more like a fungus.

    EDIT: not sure if it's the dash or letters making the link not work...

    the russians don't make their ships look like sharks...they make their battle dirigibles look like sharks​​
