It's strange, because I often consider, along with many others; that 'Enterprise' did not occur in the canon (Prime) timeline...

As Neo said... At least they're honest about it.

It occurs in an alternate reality caused by the Borg's time travel storyline from First Contact. ;)

TOS --> TNG --> DS9, First Contact, Insurrection, Nemesis ---> Prime Timeline
Enterprise --> Trek XI ---> Alternate Timeline

The events of Enterprise are an offshoot from what happened during First Contact (borg debris, assisting in first contact etc). Trek XI follows on from Enterprise (by even referencing "Admiral" Archer in the movie), albeit this alternate timeline has been altered even more due to Nero and the Narada's involvement in the destruction of the USS Kelvin.

More accurately the timeline should read as:

(First Contact) Enterprise --> (Nero destroys USS Kelvin) Trek XI ---> Alternate Timeline

Enterprise still happened in the Mirror Universe though! haha.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #664 on:** September 13, 2009, 06:06:15 AM »

The mirror universe is a whole other "entity" of it's own, and not the same as the Prime/Alternate timelines.

The alternate timeline in question, basically follows the same pattern that the Prime timeline would've taken, if the Enterprise-E and the Borg weren't involved in First Contact, and if Nero hadn't destroyed the USS Kelvin.

The mirror universe on the other hand, is basically our prime timeline turned 180 degrees. Where the good guys suddenly are evil, and the bad guys aren't so bad anymore.

This is where it gets confusing...cos if Enterprise didn't happen, then what happened during First Contact? Well, thats for a different topic methinks.

Enterprise DID happen, but it took place in an alternate timeline which was created during the events of First Contact. Conceivably, the Enterprise-E was protected by the same changes in the timeline where they witnessed an "assimilated Earth", and was able to return to the "prime timeline" after assisting Cochrane.

Less fanwanking more STO ships. (I think we've been told more than once to stay on topic).

Dalek · « **Reply #668 on:** September 13, 2009, 06:49:33 AM »

Ok. That makes sense. I think.

Ooh, this is pretty.

If only that screenshot had Anti-Aliasing...

And not on this particular course of chat.

It was ontopic: It was discussing the developer's statement regarding the use of the 22nd Century Raptor class ;)

Hmm. I wonder what planet thats supposed to be, I thought it might have been part of Starfleet Academy until I noticed the rocks.

I dont know how many of you have been at their website lately but its up there...not sure for how long now...but I signed up for it :-).

http://www.startrekonline.com/

All you need is a forum account...

Ryles · « **Reply #671 on:** September 14, 2009, 12:26:35 PM »

I did.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #672 on:** September 14, 2009, 02:04:11 PM »

I signed up. I may be skeptical about STO at current, but part of a beta test is not only to find bugs, but also to try out the games features, and provide suggestions to alterations. Granted not a whole lot of suggestions get implemented pre-launch, but it does give ideas for what they could add down the line.

Rumour has it the beta is suppose to begin before the end of the year.

NeoSilverThorn · « **Reply #673 on:** September 14, 2009, 02:32:36 PM »

Just finished signing up. Be interesting to see how it works.

Ryles · « **Reply #677 on:** September 15, 2009, 01:29:48 AM »

Or, it could be terribly interesting.

Looks more like something from a SW type planet. Coruscant perhaps?
