That sounds interesting! Thanks for the link, will give it a read.

Good luck and thanks for the update! By the way, any ideas on what this mega-patch from Gearbox entails? I hadn't heard about it until now.

Haha! No sooner said than done, eh?

The LOAF has spoken! Some insider knowledge on display there, Ben? Yeah, you're probably right. I had no real beef with the teaser, tbh, and most of my Trekkie friends seem to like it. We're all just excited about the prospect of a new show. If nothing else, it got me on a TNG watching spree.

Agreed, but what I'm getting at is that it is more likely to be set in the earlier part of that timeline, if the rumours about the setting turn out to be true. I wouldn't mind at all, we know very little about what happens in those years. Enterprise-C is famous in its own right thanks to the...

Well, it's just a teaser... I'll reserve judgement until we see some actual footage.

Hmph. I should have known you would have an answer ready. In fiction response, no less. Very well then...

Enterprise B era then? Wonder if they will go that route or focus on a completely different ship and crew?

I cannot freaking wait for SQ42.

Hey Admiral! Have you made any further progress?

I doubt you'll be able to mod SQ42 any more than any single player story campaign, which is to say, not at all. The Star Citizen private server option is a different story. Maybe you could build your own missions using the persistent universe as a backdrop. Offline, of course.

I think it's time to admit you have a problem. :-) Great work as always! Question though: The deck surface ahead of the hangar bay doors looks curved and rough with deck plating. I assume you've gone a different route to the original where these where depicted as sort of extended runways, like...

Absolutely stunning. The Tarsus was never a pretty ship but you somehow managed to make it sexy! Outstanding job.

Buggy or not, the baby universe is a blast to play. The current version is surprisingly stable; I haven't had a crash in ages.

Yeah, just forget about playing the tutorial for now. Besides, Crusader is much more interesting.

Indeed, there's been plenty of additional material, including official behind-the-scenes books or technical manuals, that do a great job of adding to the depth of the Star Wars universe. Credit where it's due; old George created a very compelling and believable world, without really stopping to...

First Contact had all the right ingedients, sure. My view its that it was more successful because it had enough action to satisfy more casual movie-goers that weren't as invested in the franchise. They could get away with making more of an action-oriented film and yet keeping to the core of the...

First Contact is my personal favourite Trek film. I also dearly love Insurrection, despite what the critics said. It plays like a very long TNG episode, which suits me just fine.

True that.. :D I think Palpatine being Anakin's daddy would have made for a much better plot twist.

I have a borrowed behind-the-scenes technical manual on the Enterprise-D written by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda that says otherwise. How much time do they spend at any point in Star Wars trying to explain how anything works? They don't; you just accept that it does. Trek on the other hand...
