Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

[Gingerbread Demon]

If STB does better than 500 million Paramount will be pleased and angry folks on the Internet will find endless ways to torture that number into representing some kind of failure.

Hardcore fanboys and girls won't let go........... Or evolve.

Probably a contemporary of the NX-class.

I believe so because NX01 and NX02 had warp 5.0 and Archer said that there were ships, in construction, with Warp 6.0. So, based upon the fact that Gamma Quadrant is very far from Earth, I believe that is a contemporary of the NX-class.

But, according to the non-canonStar Trek: Ships of the Line book, Columbia (NX02) crashed on a desert planet in the Gamma Quadrant, and remained there for two centuries. It was discovered, intact, several days following the events of "Children of Time", by Ezri Dax and the crew of the USS Aventine. So, Pegg could then build on it.

interesting comment regarding TSFS:

Pegg also confirmed that the new film won't follow the path set by Star Trek: The Search For Spock in continuing on from Star Trek Into Darkness. "There might be a little nod for fans perhaps, but it's certainly not something that the film depends on or has any relationship to the plot of the previous Star Trek III".

"A little nod" being the destruction of the Enterprise?

"A little nod" being the destruction of the Enterprise?

Im willing to bet there will be a quote.."turned death into a fighting chance to live.." or some such.

Yeah I don't mind stuff like that providing it's nice and subtle.

I sincerely doubt they'd use such an obscure backstory. Talk about complex fan theories! I also hope there's no connection between the Franklin and NX vessels. Please, no references to the worst series (and death-knell of the franchise) in the 50th anniversary tribute.

Enterprise was great you heathens

Like it or not, if there is anything connected to the past of the Federation or the formation of the Federation, the Enterprise series is in the Star Trek timeline

 

[Kemaiku]

From what we've already seen of her and the NX model Marcus had, she's a blend of the pre-Kelvin and mid 22nd century era's.

 

[ancient]

The Franklin looks quite a bit smaller than NX, maybe only 2-3 decks.

 

[Jeyl]

Enterprise was great you heathens

Yeah, if you were xenophobic towards alien races. It was a perfect series!

 

[Kemaiku]

I really don't see how that follows, but it obviously means something to you, so we'll leave it at that.

 

[eyeresist]

One of the questions he asked them was apparently '‘What kind of weapons does an NX vessel carry?’

I guess USS Franklin is more or less an NX vessel.

It's worth noting that we have seen a number of NX vessels in previous Trek iterations:

Thanks for link. Most interesting remark on Beyond is "There’s a retro kind of vibe to it". Hope for TOS fans? And with Fuller wanting a bolder and brighter Trek, we may be returning to those golden days of groovy threads and far-out vibes!

interesting comment regarding TSFS:

As much as I love Simon Pegg, I really have trouble believing pretty much anyone about any aspect of a Star Trek movie thanks to Abrams. At least in regards to comments like that.

 

[Trekkin]

Yeah, if you were xenophobic towards alien races. It was a perfect series!

I really don't see how that follows, but it obviously means something to you, so we'll leave it at that.

C'mon Chemahkuu. We all know your dirty little secret.

 

[Kemaiku]

It's not racist if it's Kryptonians! I've told you before.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Yeah, if you were xenophobic towards alien races. It was a perfect series!

Say what?

 

[M'Sharak]

Say what?

Oh, that's just Jeyl tossing out a peevish remark which really doesn't merit an answer. Don't worry about it.

 

[Galileo7]

I wondering if at the end of Star Trek Beyond will we see the next Enterprise 1701 ready to depart setting up the fourth film and will it be the same design class as seen in the three J.J. films.
