USS Enterprise NCC-1701

TIT- Oh, wait. I'll take a chance there might be an actual topic here.

This one will probably see 3 films before its number is up but, the Excelsior will never be a "star" attraction in any film after. Perhaps an Excelsior Class: Enterprise A.

Yep - the topic is how long will this ship last given the it's family history/tendency to explode/crash or otherwise get trashed.

I'm sorry short and concise questions confuse you.

I make no apology for the imagination of my fellow forumites who have taken the topic and expanded it into an interesting debate on canon, chronology and timelines.

Soran staying in the Nexus means that The SHAT can make an appearance at the end of this movie along the lines of Bobby Ewing in Dallas appearing to Pam Ewing in the shower in May 1986 after missing a season because we all thought he was dead.

That's the USP for this movie - mark my words.

I reckon the Enterprise will get trashed throughout this film.

My apologies. I haven't seen much of you around this forum, leading to my confusing the ":guffaw:" smile in your sig as part of your post. It appeared to me you were laughing at the frequent destruction of the Enterprise thus lessening the sense of a serious topic here.

I'll read the topic again from the start, hopefully I will then be able to contribute something significant.

OMG. I hope to "God" we at least get to see the JJ-celsior in one of the later films.

That would be one badass ship.

We might have to wait quite a while for that unless they do a major time jump between films seeing as in sonds like in this film the JJ Connie is supposed to be the state of the art class at the time covered in the film.
 
I think the completly new timeline will exsit as for the last 40 years Star Trek has been very much based on a 60's veiw of the future. For example the Federation dosen't get their hands on nano technolgy until a few years after making contact with the Borg, but in todays world we'll have that tech in 10-15 years.

A theroy I have is that the USS Voyager would never exsit so the Aeon shuttle would never be lost in the 1900's, Henry Starling would never create the computer age & as such there would be no Voyager 6 probe, which means no Borg, so we have 1000s of untouched worlds.

And apologies for my pithy response. :)

Nanotechnology was mentioned in Enterprise by one of the workers who found the remains of the borg sphere and borg drones that went down in FC. So humans knew of nanotech in 22nd century Trek. And in the 3rd season premiere of TNG, Wesley experiments with nanotech, which created self-replicating nanites. So, nanotech wasn't unknown to the federation.
 
A wild unrealistic dream I would have is that somehow this Enterprise gets refitted to what we saw in TMP. Hey in some Sci-Fi even if the flow of time is changed it does come back to where it was supposed to go.
 
I can't see the TMP refit been seen as by all appearances the new Enterprise is built with 24 century tech, so why would Starfleet degrade their ship by a 150 years, just so they can try & conform to a timeline that no longer exists.
 
This isn't a prediction, just fanboy wishful thinking. After the movie (or hopefully trilogy) plays out in the Nero-altered timeline, NuEnterprise travels back in time and stops Nero before he can alter the timeline. We see the timeline restored and a beauty shot of a bigscreen-worthy TOSEnterprise, peopled with Pine, Quinto, and Company. However, NuEnterprise and crew realize they can't return to their time period because the timeline they find themselves on is not the one they left (see Doc Brown's explanation in Back to the Future 2). Instead, NuEnterprise follows old Spock forward to the post-Nemesis era for further adventures...

I know it'll never happen, but a middle-aged boy can dream...

Ugh.
