Isn't there a STO ship that's literally just a Risa cruise ship with some nacelles on it?

I demand a ship that consists of a centrally located, heavily shielded engineering section, and, like, 12 nacelles. And racing stripes on said nacelles.

I hear, motherfucker had like, 30 goddamn nacelles. Also against my better judgement I installed STO. The lack of first person alone is a major drag.

The best part of STO is kitbashing the new ships you get as you level up. Once you hit max level it’s kind of a drag, although the missions get more bizarre. I just fought against Sphere Builders, Krenim, and Terrans with the timeships from Voyager at that battle where Enterprise introduces the Enterprise-J. Then I boarded the J with Captain Chekov (who’s apparently a “Temporal Agent”) and Relics-era Scotty (I’m almost certain he was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) appeared out of nowhere because Chekov left a temporal beacon somewhere. This led to a battle with Terran Admiral Leeta who hosed off when Daniels (who died in the mission prior) reappeared. It is bonkers.

I also forgot that the Tox Uthat from the TNG Risa episode is a major macguffin for like ten missions and Future Guy from Enterprise is revealed to be a Krenim dude who wants revenge because a mission led by Captain Nog accidentally erased his alien wife’s entire species from history.

I watched Vanishing Point last night on the basis that it at least sounded interesting, if a bit derivative of older Trek episodes. Jesus Christ, Enterprise could not get more bland if it tried. Everything is so flat and lifeless, from the visuals to the (Berman-mandated) shite score, the performances of the actors, the execution of the story itself... Everyone involved just seems bored.

It's one of the best Enterprise episodes for utter worthlessness. None of it happened! Yay! And it didn't happen to Hoshi, who up to that point was known for handling stress badly and befriending a slug. I remember reading reviews years ago which had a sidebar detailing how completely useless and squandered Hoshi was in each episode.

Yeah, Hoshi should have been pretty cool. But then they obsoleted her in the very first season by bringing in the universal translator. Gecko Hoshi, best Hoshi?

I couldn't bear Enterprise season 1, and watched episodes of season 2 as goons recommended season 3 so I had to get some setup. What's the pilot called? Cause all I remember about him from season 3 is that he concentrated really hard on pushing the buttons and didn't do much else. He makes Harry Kim look well-written.

skasion posted:Mayweather. He was also born in space! This is the only other aspect of his character. The one space freighter episode made it clear that he COULD be an awesome character. The episode sucked, but when you see the bullshit he grew up dealing with, Enterprise looks like a drat cruise ship. He should have been the Spacer; able to deal with the poo poo thrown at him even if it seems to be beyond the scope of his duty, constantly making everyone else feel kind of soft in comparison, because they went from an officer's school to a comfy chair in an FTL vessel with gravity plating. That motherfucker should have been the first out of his chair and clambering up a Jefferies tube when poo poo hit the fan. He should have been patching hull breaches with gravitic duct tape when everyone else was having panic attacks. In short, he should have ended up captain when it was clear Archer was a turd laid by nepotism. I mean when you think about it, this was a merchant navy seaman from the age of sail getting plonked down on a nuclear-powered destroyer. The sea is just a rough lover to a motherfucker like that.

Archer is pretty great at getting beat up or captured, often at the same time.

Arglebargle III posted:What was Archer supposed to be good at again? Being an ambassador of humanity to the galaxy by merely using his magical dog ownership powers. The power to own the dog was magical; it wasn't a magical dog. And owning a dog doesn't require magical powers, but when you own one as hard as Archer did, it's magical. He was the best at that. Owning a dog, I mean. And, Dr. Flox even took notice of it that one time. I like to imagine that in shows like this, we only see some of their adventures--a slice of life, as it were. A lot happens between the episodes. And, over course of the adventures of the NX-01, aliens took note of his interactions with Yappy the Wonder Mutt (that was its name, right?), and they saw that it was good, and that's why so is humanity. tarlibone fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Feb 19, 2018 |

As underutilized as Mayweather was, I do like the two (?) episodes featuring his family on the merchant ship. It’s the kind of interesting bare-bones pioneer stuff Enterprise should have done instead of the Temporal Cold War or the Xindi or the billionth “Archer and/or Trip gets captured and has to escape” episode.

Plus Mayweather's family's ship was the ship that caused the planet in A Piece of the Action to become a gangster planet. Well, maybe not, but in A Piece of the Action, we learn that what caused them to become a gangster planet was a visit by a ship called the Horizon, which left a book called "Chicago Mobs of the Twenties", and the art department stuck a copy of the book on the bookshelf of Mayweather's childhood bedroom.

Remember that comic that some of us posted here, Mirror Broken? About the adventures of Mirror Captain Picard, who wound up stealing a roided-up mirror Galaxy class ship and gathering a bunch of broken losers to become his Enterprise crew? Seems like IDW (the publisher of that comic) felt it sold well enough to do a followup.. http://www.startrek.com/article/tng-mirror-saga-through-the-mirror-out-in-may  Picard vs. Goatee Picard!

Naturally Mirror Picard will win, because he's everything Patrick Stewart wishes he could have been in TNG scripts.

Mirror Picard is going to get prime Picard in a wicked sweet headlock and make him check out his killer biceps. “I’ve been cultivating mass, what have you been doing in this soft jabroni universe?”* *Original idea by Mac, do not steal
