Well, that's a bit silly, and disappointing. Nichols is 46 years older than Saldana, that's perfectly reasonable for a grandmother, especially considering that Uhura is (presumably, given that she was in the Academy) supposed to be several years younger than Saldana actually is. :P

The Klingons actually have a unique culture, so they incorporated it into the Storyline. The Federation storyline/mission stuff is less 'open to alien races' than it is 'deliberately bland and non-specific about everything'. It's always amusing when my Vulcan visits Vulcan and asks the sort of basic questions that should…
-
It has always been a generic space game. The 'Star Trek' name and paint jobs are just there to keep people interested and paying.
-
V'ger with Genesis Torpedoes, Geodesic Fold Generator, and a Universal Console that has the effect of a permanent AOE Jam Sensor. It's the next logical step.
-
Because the Typhoon is an original design, they're not confident that they can milk money out of it the way they can cramming ships that have been seen in Trek before into the game regardless of whether they make any sense at all. I expect the next C-Store ship will be a Voth city ship with Genesis Torpedoes. :rolleyes:
-
The 'War' itself is stupid, and serves no purpose other than a flimsy justification for PVP. You get over the whole "We're at war thing" after an hour or so, and the rest of the content is the Empire and the Federation fighting a common enemy. Cryptic would do better to stop clinging to the non-existent war and just…
-
Because the ending was an incredibly forced and hamhanded way of trying to get around how the Colonials became our 'primitive' ancestors in spite of being a spacefaring society. Really, you're about to settle the only survivors of your entire species on a world you know nothing about...and your first act is to do away with…
-
STO is not a Star Trek game. It's a generic Science Fiction MMO with Star Trek window dressing in order to milk fans for money. This should have been obvious when you racked up a higher body count than all 40 years of televised and filmed Star Trek in your first hour of play. Cryptic will put anything into the game that…
-
It's better than Nemesis, probably tied with Insurrection for second worst movie in the franchise. :P
-
That doesn't really tell us anything. Gorn apparently reproduce via biological fission or cloning, given that they don't actually have females at all. :P
-
lol. So my Starfleet Captain can fly around in a Jem'Hadar Battleship full of Borg equipment, with Breen and Romulan Bridge officers, but a pair of swim trunks would be immersion breaking? STO crossed that 'bridge too far' a long, long time ago.
-
Or maybe Pay 2 Win doesn't really appeal to some people, even people who have the money to do it? And the Scimitar is Cryptics most blatant pay to win moneygrab yet. Sit in one place, cloak, kill everything. Perfect for all those players who were so tired of the same old "movement" and "actually watch the screen" mechanics…
-
How do you skip it? That was my plan, but it wouldn't let me pick up any other episodes until I found a Romulan to run it with me and finish it. :confused:
-
Why would they be unhappy? The War is literally meaningless and completely non-existent outside of the PVP zones. The Federation and Klingons spend far more time fighting together than they do fighting eachother. The "War" was nothing more than a flimsy excuse thrown out to justify PVP, and it was promptly abandoned and…
-
There's a war with the Klingons? I hadn't noticed. :confused:
-
So very much agreed.
-
Neither of them requires a pretense of Klingons vs. Feds either. They should just stop trying to pretend that PVP or "the war" are even vaguely relevant to the actual storyline of the game. At this point the Klingon/Federation Alliance is de facto in place again, PVP is basically an unrelated minigame. They could invoke…
-
Well, keep in mind, I'm pretty sure it's actually referenced in the same episode, Riker had been offered a Captain's chair several times, and he kept turning it down. I'm pretty sure in Part 1 we're told he had just been offered another command. So it's not that he was 'told to go back to his 1st officer post', he decided…
-
Archer and co should have been toast regardless, I disliked that episode simply because it was so terribly contrived just so they could get a chance to milk whatever remaining fondness people had for the Borg. The Borg ship was doomed, they had several adapated drones on the Enterprise and they....beam all the drones back…
-
Very much so. Everything up to that point, including the Borg Queen, was nothing next to the gutting of the Borg in Voyager. At least Best of Both Worlds and First Contact still had entire fleets being eaten by the Borg before the Enterprise crew came up with a solution. In Voyager the Borg were reduced to to basically…
-
For the Pakled I imagine it's because they're an 'ugly' race, and their only defining characteristic from the one episode they were central to is , "Dumb as bricks.", so I can see why they aren't a huge draw for players. For Saurians I guess it's because we don't really know a whole lot about them, and their appearance…
-
I'd like it better if I could actually finish Installation 18, hopefully by next month they'll get around to fixing the bug.
-
Uhmm, where are you getting....any of this from? With the exception of ships explicitly described as being for limited scientific missions (Oberth, Nova, etc), there's no indication that most Starfleet ships are designed only for 'light' combat. On the contrary we've seen over and over that their exploration ships (Galaxy,…
-
10. Nemesis. Fails on pretty much every level. Action Hero Picard. Blatant setup for 'Data's gonna die, but not really'. Promising us the greatest Trek villain since Khan..and giving us a pasty bald kid in purple plastic with an inferiority complex. Teasing us with the idea that it was going to be a Romulan movie, then…
-
1. He said it was a Section 31 facility, and even if we assume it was the HQ or something, still doesn't suggest the bombing wiped it out. It's like saying the US Military disappeared after the attack on the Pentagon. 2. People who are watching the movie and not familiar with Trek probably don't share you're view that…
-
If the next movie for some reason states that Section 31 was destroyed, then it was destroyed, but until then there is no reason to think it was. Unless, again, you think Section 31 consists entirely of 10 guys in a facility on Earth and the handful of crew on the Vengeance. I think you're projecting your hatred of the…
-
One Section 31 facility was destroyed and their secret doomship got popped, that is not the same thing as being wiped out. I highly doubt Section 31 consists entirely of 10 guys in one room on Earth. Except that, ya know, he didn't. All the secrets he got from those 'former terrorists' as far as we can tell were dumped…
-
That's nice and all, but can we skip the small stuff and get to warp drive all ready? :P
-
Nothing was ever said about Section 31 being destroyed. I doubt the handful of crew onboard the Vengeance included every single member. I'm pretty sure there's still a shipyard out there with a bunch of engineers and personnel. Really? I thought the Admiral was portrayed as villain by virtue of being completely insane and…
-
Every Klingon ship should get a Battle Cloak long before we worry about giving it to Federation ships that shouldn't have cloaks at all, except that it makes Cryptic money through Zen sales. Realistically speaking ships 10 time the size of an escort should have more than 1 extra weapon, and probably much better shields due…
