As a lifelong Trekkie all I have to say about that new trailer is this:

I need new pants.

Plus, the music was epic win. Sounded like the dark knight almost.

And when Kirk sat in the captain's chair I got freaking goosebumps.

Yeah this film looks the boss!

The parts where they show the building of the Enterprise on the ground bothers me. It should be in space.

I'm not used to seeing it being built on the ground either. I suppose that means the new Enterprise is a bit sturdier than before.

The fact that it was too expensive to have the original Enterprise landing on a planet each week gave us the wonderful transporter, and little slab sided shuttlecraft. :p .

I just saw the new trailer. If I am not mistaken, that was Spock telling Nero "James Kirk was a great man." Oh my. I got goose bumps. This movie is going to rock. Seems Spock will have a face to face confrontation with Nero. Wow.

Why, Utopia Planitia had a Surface Facility quite a few ships were built on the surface including the Enterprise-D, Defiant and Voyager.

It was Nero who said that.

Look at the trailer again and listen closely to the voice speaking. It was Spock telling Nero that Kirk was a great man then Nero tells Spock: "That was in another life."

This movie is going to be very interesting. Maybe Spock dies on this one. Who knows. I can't wait till May.

I have and did. The voice sounds like Nero and that's what I'm banking on until you can prove otherwise ;)

Why should it? The main bulk could be built on Earth then towed to space. Remember, this needn't be true to the original stories...

Because it would collapse under its own weight.

Where has it ever been said that ships were built on the surface? Mars also has a much lighter gravity, but not enough for it to matter, I guess. The Yards had facilities in both space and on the surface.

Structural Integrity Fields?

Twice in TNG and once in Voyager.

In an alternate timeline visited by Worf in 2370, the Cardassians were using the Argus Array to spy on several of Starfleet's most important ship yards and design complexes, including the Utopia Planitia surface facilities, along with Starbase 47, Deep Space 5 and the Iadara colony. (TNG: "Parallels")

Thats what that picture is from i pasted.

I didn't say there were no surface facilities, I asked when they SPECIFIED that the entire ships were built on the surface. There are orbital facilites also. Every book has always made it very clear that ships are built in space, and the SIF would be useless until the ship was completed anyway.

edit: according to my TNG Technical manual, the assembly started at the Utopia Planitia assembly site, 16,625 kilometres above the surface of Mars with the joining of the Deck 10 computer core elliptical compression bulkhead, and the starboard main longitudinal compression bulkhead.

      Maybe it's just my old-school soul talking, but I’ve always felt that games aren't 'real' games until they hit the PC. Leaving the PC community out at launch just doesn't sit right with me. That being said, I'm probably going to buy the PS5 just for the fun of trying it out.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
