It's not just production design. TMP and early TNG represent a massive shift away from the standards and values TOS used. Unlike DSC and PIC which follow the exact same tone and style as their predecessors (the KT, ENT, and DS9) had, TMP and TNG thr…
Yeah it was terrible when the discarded all of TOS when TMP came about. Terrible. I don't think it was Kurtzman though, somebody who's name began with an 'R', it'll come back to me.
You're telling me about canon? Wow. I acually said they formed hteir own canon not that they formed part of the main Trek canon. Any work with some sort of oversight will have a canon, it's IP management.
So no, the VGR novels were never canon, just…
TOS era. I don't care if it looks like painted cardboard or not, it'll still probably lead into it.
My gods! The owners and runners of their own franchise want their franchise to follow their vision! The horror!
'Countdown' and 'Nero' really add a lot to 09.
It was a good film that suffers from Abrams inability to let plots slow down at points and he cut huge sections from the film relating to Nero, his backstory and motivations and how he was captured by …
The only ones I had a problem with from the shows actors were Paris (who sounded like he was forced to be there) and Worf in his later episodes.
Some others were variable in quality but not to the same extreme as Worf.
I do think that the actors f…
That's because STO based it on the old 'Countdown' comic.
The actual ship in the film is a Vulcan one. It's specifically referred to as 'our fastest ship' as I said, it's cockpit is built resemble a Vulcan IDIC, it has the traditional warp ring tha…
Is it possible you overlooked the idea that people that want the ranks in game to conform to the canonical ones also want to remove the over done effects?
The actual numbers of admirals seen in Trek is very small despite many thousands of them exis…
It's possible that the KDF works like the Imperial military (in SW) in that both Army and Navy personnel have access to the exact same equipment (Star Destroyers, TIEs, Stormtroopers etc.) but are two different services, so rather than mixing in the…
And yet your actual quote was...
It's wrong firstly because the DSC novels were also announced as canon before being dropped (and the VGR ones weren't, they were just assumed to be because of the authors), and secondly because there is a 'novelver…
If I want to see if I've activated an ability, I look at my task bar, I certainly don't look at the ugly circles that get drawn all over my my pretty ship. Spawned anomalies, sure, if I press 'Gravity Well' I expect to see a hole in spacetime in fro…
I don't cloak. I've been playing with some space magic spewing Fek ships (names Cowardice, Dishonour, and Treachery) and will go back to my standard 'park-and-shoot' Qoj or Vor'Cha. Cloaks are for cowards, Romulans, and cowardly Romulans.
I've neve…
The only things that really need to change with ranks is the correction of 'Brigadier-General' to 'Brigadier', the replacement of Dahar Master with an actual rank, changing 'Warrior' to 'Bekk' and the changing of the non-canon upper and lower halves…
I enjoyed the Vanguard books. They're about the only part of the TOS era I'd constantly revisit. I also quite liked the DS9 relaunch series until it was cut short.
I'm remain unfussed by non-canon books being taken in another non-canon direction. T…
There's not. There is a AoY D5 that's possibly supposed to be a '60s refit of the ENT D5 Battlecruiser (which is about the size of a BoP) that they should make available but I suspect they're waiting to release the D5 properly.
Identical. The only addition series 2 made was facial and head hair. L'Rell's makeup was changed half way through series 1 to remove her cheek ridges and series 2 reduced her skull height to match Kol and the other series 1 Klingons but there are st…
In the case of the Excelsior, Galaxy, and Intrepid it stands for 'Ugly Space Ship' and works as a warning to Klingons, Romulans, or any other species with a sense of aesthetics to switch their viewscreen to audio only.
They're a reality that started 30 years before the time of DSCS1 and BEY runs more or less parallel with the end of DSCS2 and the beginning SNW (providing SNW takes us from DSC to TOS).
By tie in I mean deal with some of the same stuff their Prime …
If there is another KT film I expect it to tie into DSC or SNW rather than retreading TOS actors again. It's more likely we won't get one. The KT is a film franchise and CBS isn't making Trek films for the foreseeable and they currently have up to 4…
