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.
