[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mirror-Amasov: [QB] So, just returned from the cinema. Not the best Trek movie, but certainly the most enjoyable and the most impressive. :cool: I can confirm that Pike tried to hail the Newton on their way to Vulcan, although no Captain was mentioned. Farragut and Hood, the unrecognizable name you emntioned above, Antares is also mentioned, another one I forgot, plus Pike also mentiones the Truman later on. We get some good views of the starships, but I did not see the Kobayashi Maru in that one scene - when did it appear? (There were just the Klingon warbirds - btw, since when do we refer to the D7 or whatever that was as a "warbird"? I mean - no objections from me, it would make some sense, but the term Warbird was reserved for the D'Deridex for such a long time.) One shuttle is the Moore, another one is the Gilliam in the bay scene. The evac med shuttle from the Kelvin is shuttle 37, it seems they have a whole bunch of them - same goes for the Enterprise, they are stored on two levels left and right of the hangar bay doors. Pike uses shuttle 9 (i was hoping for 7 :) ), but I didn't catch the name. With the Bluray, we should be able to make out some names and registries. Kirks escape pod is launched from that one spot where the travel pods used to dock, at the neck. We see the photon torpedo launcher in action - blue torpedoes, fired from the neck launcher. Phasers are still pulse weapons as per TOS, but they appear to be red. They use it for some massive barrage against Narada's rocket-things. They did change the stardate system, first 4 digits indicate the year, last two digits probably indicate the day. I never cared for the old system, it gave me headaches. The jellyfish's computer gives its lauch date, it was 2378, IIRC. Or 87? It did correspond with the Countdown timestamp, I just mention it because this means the 24th century (the unaltered timeline) obviously uses that system now, too. Maybe it a civilian thing and the 5-digit-stardate is exclusive to Starfleet. Maybe they think it makes them look smarter, having a stardate system that no one really gets besides them. :rolleyes: Some nice shots of Vulcan, that one wallpaper where you see the city of Shir'Kahr is *not* the whole thing. The camera pans up and you see some more skyscrapers hanging from one of the large cliffs or rock overhangs or whatever you could call it. Really impressive, but hard to describe. And Pike in wheelchair! But just a regular one, Professor-X-style, no beeping folks. Maybe next time... :D (Nero used a Ceti Eel on poor Pike to get the codes of Starfleet's defense grid for his attack on earth. *But* he didn't give him the small babies but the big thing instead, right through the mouth. Creepy stuff...) 47 Klingon ships were lost when Nero did his stuff along the Neutral Zone, where he was lying in wait for Spock Prime to show up. We don't see it, just get the info from Uhura. Edit: Just fyi, they referred to the Kobayashi Maru as 'USS'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
