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.

:rofl: Joel pulled out the technical manual, look out! :p

All I have to say is J.J. Abrahams is an awesome director with a unique vision and it's about time Star Trek got the director and budget it deserved. From the looks of the trailer, the man has done a hell of a job on this film and it will be a success. I read a while ago that they showed the first 15 minutes of the film to some Paramount executives and they were asking for more because it was so good. Rick Berman didn't have the budget J.J. Abrahams had to make a good film because Paramount never wanted to give him more than 50 milion to make a Trek film because of the failure of Star Trek: Generations at the box office so this new film is a big gamble for Paramount. If this film fails at the box office it wil be the end of the Star Trek films for a looooong time.

Just in case anyone was wondering. The music from the new trailer is by Two Steps From Hell, off their Legend CD the track is titled Freedom Fighters. Two Steps From Hell has done alot of big name movie trailer music in the past, I can see why they used them here.

*Edit* Actually it looks like it's from their upcoming CD called Nemesis II. But if you get the Legend CD you'll notice that some of the tracks sound familiar :D (Like the track named "Down with the Enterprise" which is from the 2nd trailer for Trek XI)

I'm so glad someone else cares about canon. Everyone else just thinks it's going to be so cool to have another Star Trek film and yeah it will be great. But doesn't anyone stop to think that if you just change whatever you want then it's not really Star Trek anymore.....

I salute you Joel and award you the Starfleet Medal of Commendation for valor above and beyond the call of duty. :hug:

rrrriiiiggghhhhtttt....................... so after reading the memory alpha article. it turns out writer/producer robert orci explains how everything is different by saying it's in an alternate timeline. basically none of it is canon. it's good really it means I can look forward to the film without being annoyed.

what's the difference between built and assembled?

based on the dictionary definition there isn't one from what I can understand.

Anyone have good hi-resolution pics of the USS Enterprise G?

there isn't a enterprise g, btw we aren't like star trek ultra nerds we're getting our info from memory alpha so really you could do the same.

I would assume it is like the International Space Station, pieces of it are built on earth, but then assembled in space.

Thats how they made the Trekkies not complain so much. You can rest assured that if it makes a ton of money, it will be made canon when they start basing new things off of it.

Funny how when these posters show the new Enterprise, the angles they choose are the ones that happen to hide the new, and some would say, ugly, proportions of the ship.

For example, the first image hides the awkward placement of the neck, farther back on the secondary hull, while the second ones don't really show the huge bussard ram-scoops on the warp engines...

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
