Well, looks good to me. :D

The space scenes were sped up for Gamescom.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

sorry, makes me even more sure this is one thing i will be not a part of...
it just looks too stupid to me more and more as each new thing is revealed lol
the crap they try to sell us these days when it comes to "Trek"...  at least Excalibur is something ahead i can look forward to that isnt such a ridiculously drastic change to everything i have come to know and grow fond of over the last 20ish years i have been a fan...
but thats just my own opinion, and im not interested in a debate or debating anything about it, so i hope there isnt a backlash all at once at me by others, as with the stupid movie...

If you have been listening to the hailingfrequency pod cast, the 30 min interview they just had with a Cryptic rep said you have the option to turn those on and off.

nah, just the movie and this game...  tho the movie did kinda grow on me, and i will be buying it on DVD and seeing part 2...
this game, tho - i would be absolutely thrilled if they could use the ships (and everything) we have all come to know and love, but i know they cant and all that...  it's just not something i think i will be in to, so as far as this one goes, im just gonna pass...
i'll be all about Excalibur tho, and very much active there once that is released - i am jumping up and down with glee for that project :D

btw have you read or participate in any of the threads at the STO main site... they have plenty of things to go over
ive never been to the site...  i dont think i will... it's just not for me, this realm...
i know alot of people are very much excited for STO - and thats awesome for them, rock on with it!
it's just not for me...

eh did I read this right?? to your thoughts... they have plenty of canon ships to choose from in STO... atm they are just showing off the mod ability and future ships to go along with the 25+ years in the future.

I understand Jimmy means, there aren't any "original" look Galaxys and Sovereigns and Connies and all. Because we've only seen futuristic ones, its not so appealing.

Going back to the vid on TrekCore: Did anyone notice that Galaxy called the USS Enteprise NCC 1701 - D?

Are you serious? Please tell me that was from one of those 'time travel' mission mentioned in PC Gamer.

I definitely saw "USS Enterprise NCC 1701 - " on something that looked like a Galaxy (could've been an Ambie but probably not). Hopefully it was one of these time travel missions.

i thought i heard they werent permitted to use any of the original trek ship designs, as seen in the shows and movies?  so they had to "slightly" alter them for whatever reason?

Well, that explains a lot about some of the weird designs we've seen. But isn't that kinda stupid? It's what makes Trek...Trek.

i dunno, i seem to recall hearing about legal issues or whatever and thats why none of the original ship designs could be used, thats why they had to make these (ugly) "similiar" ones?
im not entirely sure, but for some reason i really think i remember reading about that somewhere?

I've never head anything about that at all...
I think that would be all over the net and talked about more if so...
