[QUOTE]Originally posted by The359: [QB] I just got back from the 4:10 showing of Nemesis, the earliest showing in the area, and first off, great film. But anyway, I figured I should tell everyone about the new tech seen in the film, just like we do for every new episode of Enterprise, so here goes: - New Tricorders. They basically look like overglorified PDAs. They no longer fold up like the previous ones, instead they are just one big flat screen with all the necessary buttons either on the screen, or on top in a little fold out sensor doohicky at the top. Some of the classic buttons from the old tricorders can be seen on this little piece, but the rest is fancy LCARS graphics. - New Sickbay. Dumping the old Voyager set, this new very white set is circular, like the old one, with beds on the outside and the main surgical bed at the center. The old displays that used to sit above the bed are still there, but there are now cabinets next to each bed, I assume to hold supplies. - The Argo. The vehicle, when driving, has a unique sound to it, especially when its shut off. Sounds like a reactor instead of a gasoline engine. The shuttlecraft is apparently damaged when Picard launches into it, but there are locking mechanisms that latch onto the wheels to help keep the vehicle in place during flight. We never see the cockpit. - The Scimitar. One big bad mutha fugga. I can't remember the exact weaponry, but I at least remember hearing [b]27[/b] torpedo launchers. And believe me, they are all used. The main weapon, however, uses Thadion (sp???) radiation that is fired from the Scimitar's wings, which actually split up into 5 seperate wings. The Thadion radiation literally turns people to stone. It is used in Shinzon's takeover of the Romulan Senate at the beginning of the movie. The Scimitar also has foldout reverse engines, which look a lot like a rocket engine. I'm guessing they're actually something akin to boosters to help the impulse engines reverse. - Microtransporter. This must be something gained from the Dominion (most likely that Bug Sisko used). It's simply a small circular device with two shutters that expose a little red LED, and voila! You can transport the person its attached to. However, I don't know how exactly you can dictate WHERE you are transporting to (although the plot device seems to be in great control of it). LaForge has made it so Data can carry one in his arm. - The Enterprise. As part of preparation for battle, we get to see the Enterprises weapon lockers, which are merely parts of the corridor wall which swing around and reveal two phaser rifles per wall section. Also, LaForge tests out force fields that envelope the warp core. Of course, they immediatly fail after the ship is attacked, so lot of good they were. The Enterprise also gets a new "warp jump" CGI, with the stretching of the ship being replaced by slight smokey contrails from the nacelles and then the usual starburst at the end. The Enterprise also happens to depleat her supply of photon torpedoes during the battle with the Scimitar (which is what leads Picard to ram the Scimitar). Unfortunatly, after ramming the Scimitiar and asking for the auto destruct sequence, the computer chimes in with "Auto destruct sequence is offline". Wonderful. Picard is also able to send text messages from the arm of his chair to the helm console, where he tells Troi to ram the Scimitar without having to say it. After Enterprise returns to Earth for repair, we get to see her with open paneling all over the place, which gives us a beautiful view of the warp field coils on one nacelle. Picard also makes a brief mention of the ship's Gym. - The Voldare. Two Warbirds show up, one being the Voldare. Nothing really unique about them, we see them both attach the Scimitar in conjunction with the Enterprise. One is destroyed when the Scimitar cuts off its wing (which collides with the Enterprise), and the other (Voldare itself) is disabled and set adrift. The Voldare later sends shuttles to assist Picard after the Scimitar is destroyed. I should point out it appears the Scimitar set is the Voyager bridge, or at least the rear of it (where the Master Situation Display was). - Other Stuff. Picard orders a defensive pattern Kirk-6 or something of that kind. New Work Bees are seen in drydock during the repair of Enterprise, they have the beds in the back similar to the Sphinx work pods seen in the TNG:TM. The Titan is not seen, neither are any ships in the fleet seen in Stellar Cartography (it indeed is USS Archer). Picard's laptop now slides vertically out of his desk, istead of the old one from FC that folded upward. This is all I can remember at the moment, if someone else has seen it and wishes to point out what I missed, go right ahead. [/QB][/QUOTE]
