Well, I reckon it's because the Federation is indeed peaceful but, not being idiots, they come packing a punch because they know the galaxy is full of dirtbags...

Yup closed staff fired and projects cancelled. A shame really, one of the oldest game developers maker of some of the most famous adventures and space sims closed for no real reason.

Well it is sad but Disney has also some good points in closing them and there are good chances that with the license system is a win for starwars Games.



PS: some good news the film director of this Movie Star Trek into Darkness J. J. Abrams will make Star Wars VII ; )

The director is old news and he's Co directing with like 9 others. And he IS making both movies at the same time... Will it be a win for star wars games? Mmmm...... maybe not

but i didnt read it in this thread so here it is new news! ^^





@ Stealth_Hawk haha good one^^ Enterprise E is realy "Sovereign" Class



And the Federations Ships are just louded out with such firepower cause there was always a big threat to the Federation first the Clingon Empire then the Borg and short after the Dominion too.

Well stargate has the same thing. And if you were pointing it out, why was it a question XD

Right. But you have ships for exploring and ships for diplomacy. Stop sending your exploration/warships in and saying that they are peaceful. Rather, send your diplomats on unarmed ships guarded by your armed ships, otherwise your weapons are going to get you into a fight.

But then the diplomats are sitting ducks if a superior force suddenly attacks them! My friend, you place your faithful diplomats at far too much risk IMO... lol

True. Just stop intruding into another's territory with heavily armed ships, no mater what you call them, and claiming the protection of diplomacy and peace. All I'm saying.

I can see us two having a bit of a debate if I came round your place in my tank and extended an offer of friendship to you! haha

It would be like:



"Hey stealth! Can I borrow your circular saw? Oh don't mind my 120mm cannon and 1ft thick steel armor."



exactly

1.@stasik28

Stargate...lol..they are almost at any time at war end the entire stargate program is almost entirely lead by the US-Air Force(not known as pacifists)^^







2. The Federation also have explicit exploration vessels with much less weapons and weaker deflectors.



the USS Equinox (Nova Class) comes me in mind first.

Yeah, exploration vessels do need to be big and mean. Just not diplomacy vessels crossing territory lines. One of the only times that the Federation makes a light armed exploration vessel and it gets thrown into the Delta Quadrant and nearly ripped to pieces. Good thing USS Voyager was there to save its neck.

no Star Trek movie can ever be again so boring and bad like Star Trek IX: Insurrection

Even though the Enterprise-E is a 'Sovereign' Class Warship, er, I mean "exploration" vessel?



And why the heck do they make a 3000 ft long ship with phasers and quantum torpedoes and still call it an "exploration" vessel, anyway?

Looks fine to me, so far. Might gather my friends and go and watch it with them

It looks pretty good, I am excited to go see it! J.J Abrams tends to not disappoint

His last one was good, except for the time travel bit, which didn't seem particularly convincing, and just an excuse to get a certain legend into the story...



The trailer looks spectacular. If the story is half as good as the special effects, it'll be great!

I've never seen this one. What makes it so bad?

-Cause the entire Topic is so dam irrelevant for the Galaxy

-Cause the bad guys in this movie are just some ugly ruthless merchants which are actually working with the Federation together! And their biggest crime is that they wanna make a forced resettlement.

- Cause it was settled during the Time of the Dominion-Wars but instead of making a movie of Cpt. Picards big role in this War (there are some awesome books about this)

they mentioned the biggest war of Federation history in exactly one single Sentence.

- The Space battles where...not big...

- big part of the Movie is on the surface of a Planet...Cpt. Picard wandering with some refugees on some mountains shooting at Seeker Drones...(which are just beaming people away and not killing them)

- even the Community thinks that only Star Trek V is worse (imo even that movie was better -.-)

I was surprised by the 1st one. I don't expect to be disappointed by this one. Having said that, it's a rental at best.

This is all I remember from the movie - a lot of time spent wandering around mountains. Seemed to be lacking in space-settings

What do you guys think of it? Will it be a good movie like the last one by J. J. Abrams?



What are your general expectations of it? I'm just curious.

Well it it is made for exploring, but the weapons are there, just in case they might meet some angry species lol

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Ark_Mechanicus



"An Ark Mechanicus is a vast Imperial starship that the Adeptus Mechanicus uses to scour the stars for their ultimate holy grail, a working Standard Template Construct." Exploring the galaxy for their holy grail...



"when they do enter combat they can bring to bear nearly impenetrable defences and weaponry whose range and firepower puts even that of Imperial Battleships to shame."



Why? because the galaxy is a dangerous place. If you have a ship that can defend itself, it can survive a battle and report their discovery of (hostile) advanced civilizations. Basically what tred said

The new style ST movies are quite different from the old ones, but I actually like that. It's more current and modern I think

Yeah, much more modern - but it seems to be in a good way
