Why does the new ship look like an NX class got raped by a Klingon D7 and spawned something truly unholy? :(  I hate it.. Hate, hate, hate!  It's more boxy than a Volvo!

Read somewhere that the number 1031 might be a reference Section 31 or it just can be a number :p

if it's meant to be in the tos era, why does it look like something from enterprise? big step back in ship design. would've like miranda class ship like the reliant or maybe an excelsior class, something's that never been a main ship in a series.

Agreed.  The show is meant to be TOS era, so the ship should at least resemble known TOS era ships, not this.. abomination. Hell, even the fan-designed Steamrunner class would look way way better than this... thing.

 

*sigh*  Well, here's hoping the casting and plot lines are actually good.  I do like the idea of getting the science and discovery back into Trek rather than all this hard hitting action we've been getting in recent movies...

i hope it's not a hybrid ship as that sounds like a silly idea, something the new movies would do. not sure which looks worse the enterprise or this early cgi poop. i really hope that is just a rough design and not finally as it doesn't scream prime universe tos at all, all it screams is enterprise era. (not that that's a bad thing, the ships looked good in that)

In fact, "Star Trek Discovery" will be set before Kirk and Spock's adventures in the Alpha Quadrant.

 

I don't understand why producers are so afraid of doing anything post Janeway/Nemesis.

 

Prequels and reboots aren't a popular way to get a series going. We've seen that time and time again, especially with Star Trek.

 

The only good thing I see so far from this is maybe a Romulan War.

Ugh. Why, why can't they go post-TNG. I don't get it either.

 

One word.

 

Janeway.

 

She screwed everything, for all of us.

 

Although, a series about the timeship Relativity would be pretty awesome.  This will be very unlikely, because you would need to pay royalties to the people involved with that episode.  I doubt the original contract wording specified giving up their royalty rights if a spin off series was made from that episode.

I'll bite...

 

Seeing as I genuinely disliked VOY, I agree the show spelled the demise of TrekTV, and ENT was nothing more (for 3 seasons) or wishful thinking executed poorly.  How did Janeway screw everything?

Those episodes were never aired because of explicit sexual content.:shifty:

Voy was kind of bad but yeah don't see how Janeway particularly screwed everything. The show was just not great. The one who got on my nerves the most in this show was Neelix. But overall most the characters were not interesting and did not have any kind of team synergy.

I thought the poster was referring to something in storyline that screwed it.

I believe he's talking about the whole future part that Voyager showed, and Janeway being admiral later on etc, so if she's shown as being a very important character in the future, because when they're out of ideas on trek tv shows they like to pull the time travel stick, then any post voyager trek would have to have her part of it, and I'm guessing the way they showed it, it wouldn't be easy to write around?

 

I hardly remember much from voyager anyways, so maybe I'm totally off, but lets, for the love of all that's pure, stop with the damn time traveling/skipping/whatever trek stories, enough already!

how about one last time travel episode where romulas isn't destroyed and spock doesn't have to go back in time / to alternate timelime. because X captain prevents it all and trek continues in the prime univese.

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
