Heh. This is a pretty great commercial for the upcoming tie-in game.

They're just trashing the Enterprise so they can rebuild it to look like the real Enterprise.

Honestly, is there a big, important reason why a ship cannot jump to warp from an atmosphere? I mean without a paragraph about sci fi magic technobabble that the average movie goer won't give a poo poo about. In other words: who cares? Edit: and even if they can't (explained via a throwaway line or two) Scotty can make anything happen anyway.

Cingulate posted:I assume the reason would be someone said they can't in some episode or other. Warping in a solar system is said to be generically dangerous in TMP, though they never really say why and its only ever mentioned when it adds tension anyway. Mind, this is when half impulse could get you past Jupiter in a minute or so.

If Adama can jump in-atmo, why the gently caress can't Kirk?

You're telling me that these new versions of the characters are supposed to be "more extreme" and "not your Daddy's Star Trek" but Kirk won't even roll a hard six? If he want's to warp in atmosphere, then he'll loving warp in atmosphere.

One that we saw. We missed out on a significant period of time in which, rest assured, he recreated the entire plot of Van Wilder.

Never mind warping in the atmosphere, how are you able to go to warp without a warp core?

qntm posted:Imagine a sonic boom but literally a million times more destructive? Not to mention the radiation given off by the red/blue shifting of particles as the ship warps out, irradiating an entire hemisphere. Or the likelihood of the atmosphere basically combusting... Warping in atmo = crossing the streams.

Isn't warping literally bending space itself too? I'd imagine that wouldn't be good for a planet.

Well, if made correctly, doorways and windows don't adversely affect the structural integrity of a house. That's not to say smashing a hole in a wall in a desperate bid to get outside is a great idea though, even if it works.

Even though we can technosperg about why atmo-warps are stupid dangerous/will kill everyone, all of that is just fluff to raise the stakes (much like comparing it to Ghostbusters' crossing the streams). I'd be completely OK with them actually doing it in the movie because it would be pretty tense and a good way to up the drama or whatever.

Plus if it's half as cool as "The Adama Maneuver" it'll be worth it, technobable be damned.

EDIT: What I'm trying to say here is for a starship to get past Jupiter in only a minute or so with only the impulse drive in Star Trek doesn't make any sense whatsoever, even in Star Trek terms.
