Even if they just use it to rescue the rest of the crew I mean. One shot, gone lol The NX-01 at some point does get a new-tech retrofit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Guppy Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 So after googling with this awesomesauce warp drive, turns out, this is what the original concept should look like, so this new rendering is actually spot on: Victor Rambo 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Matrix Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It looks cool, but I wish it would have been a bubble, rather than a "wake" effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted May 23, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted May 23, 2016 While the ship is in a bubble, which you can see, as it's going through space, though I'm no expert, I do expect it to leave some form of "ripple" effect on space behind it, in the end warp speed is basically effecting gravity around the ship which effects space around the ship, and we know that gravitational waves do in fact exist, so showing a "wave ripple" effect might not be that far off. It's not like we've got a working warp drive to actually test and see how it'd look. Draconian Guppy and Dot Matrix 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good plot line, with respectable research works well with many. This run&gun style Trek has many people looking elsewhere for thier fix of good sci-fi. These movies aren't designed for an intelligent audience though LOC 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Matrix Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Would love to see the NX Class (later Enterprise Class) make an appearance, but sadly, I think that's just the USS Franklin. 39 minutes ago, Son_Of_Dad said: These movies aren't designed for an intelligent audience though Nope.

LOC Veteran Posted June 19, 2016 Veteran Share Posted June 19, 2016 Quote LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anton Yelchin, a charismatic and rising actor best known for playing Chekov in the new "Star Trek" films, has died at the age of 27. He was killed in a fatal traffic collision early Sunday morning, his publicist, Jennifer Allen confirmed. Yelchin started small with roles in indie films and various television shows, before breaking out in films like the crime thriller "Alpha Dog" and the teenage comedy "Charlie Bartlett." His biggest role to date has been in the rebooted "Star Trek" films — the third of which, "Star Trek Beyond" comes out in July. Yelchin, an only child, was born in Russia. His parents were professional figure skaters who moved the family to the United States when Yelchin was a baby. Yelchin's family requests privacy at this time.

DocM Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Terrible. Not a collision - he was crushed by his own car rolling down the driveway. Updated AP, http://live.att.net/news/read/article/the_associated_press-star_trek_actor_anton_yelchin_dies_in_car_crash_at-ap Quote LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anton Yelchin, a rising actor best known for playing Chekov in the new "Star Trek" films, was killed by his own car as it rolled down his driveway early Sunday, police and his publicist said. The car pinned Yelchin, 27, against a brick mailbox pillar and a security fence at his home in Los Angeles, Officer Jenny Hosier said. He had gotten out of the vehicle momentarily, but police did not say why he was behind it when it started rolling. Yelchin was on his way to meet friends for a rehearsal, Hosier said. When he didn't show up, the group came to his home and found him dead. The freak accident tragically cuts short the promising career of an actor whom audiences were still getting to know and who had great artistic ambition. "Star Trek Beyond," the third film in the rebooted series, comes out in July. Director J.J. Abrams, who cast Yelchin in the franchise, wrote in a statement that he was "brilliant ... kind ... funny as hell, and supremely talented." His death was felt throughout the industry. "He was a ferocious movie buff who put us all to shame," said Gabe Klinger, who directed Yelchin in the upcoming film "Porto," likely to be released this fall. "He was watching four or five movies every night — silent movies." Yelchin began acting as a child, taking small roles in independent films and various television shows, such as "ER," ''The Practice," and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." His breakout big-screen role came opposite Anthony Hopkins in 2001's "Hearts in Atlantis." He transitioned into teen roles in films such as the crime thriller "Alpha Dog" and the comedy "Charlie Bartlett." He also played a young Kyle Reese in 2009's "Terminator Salvation." Yelchin, an only child, was born in Russia. His parents were professional figure skaters who moved the family to the United States when Yelchin was a baby. He briefly flirted with skating lessons, too, before discovering that he wasn't very skilled on the ice. That led him to acting class. > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately most drivers in the U.S. don't even remember there IS a handbrake. This is the land of automatic transmissions (close to impossible to buy a car with a manual nowadays) so he didn't 'forget'. Looks like his jeep was one that was known for indicating it was in park when it really wasn't so when he got out, the jeep that wasn't really in park just rolled back.
