    The Neo-Constitution-class is supposed to be a revamped of the old Shangri-la-class (yes, both Bill Krause’s designs. He confirmed it). They also mentioned that the original U.S.S. Titan, NCC-1777, was the Federation flagship just before the Enterprise-B, and was captained by Savvik.

    These “filler” episodes probably have a point to them, but yeah, with half the season done, this has been a sh*t season. I’m guessing they’re deconstructing Omega’s concept of family and home. Unfortunately, most of the stories just haven’t been very good.

    They probably didn’t care. It was a charted system on the map so it’s a viable destination (the equivalent of where this pin drops/where my finger drops on the map, is where this ship is going). As mentioned, it was a booby trap and, likely, a distraction.

    I understand, but portable gaming doesn't allow for much variation vs at-home console gaming. Nintendo's compromise for that was the Pro Controller. The Switch, Steam Deck, Ayaneo, all share similar designs because that setup works best for portable gaming. The Switch is a portable unit 1st, at-home console 2nd, so it has to satisfy #1 first (no external sensor, very un-ergonomic controllers).

    You could be waiting a while then. No one knows when the Switch will reach EOL and when Nintendo will launch its next console. If you decide on the Switch, I would get the Switch OLED. 'Don't think we'll ever go back to that. Portable gaming means no need to have another sensor, unless they can build it in to the console. Until that day comes, you will get approximate-controlling.

    Just to add, emigration fleets travel at sub-light speeds as well to explore, in depth, areas of space that surveying fleets mapped out. They only fold through space to get away from obstacles. The fleets are designed to collect resources along the way. And as mentioned, they also get stuff shipped to them as well, especially if they can't manufacture it themselves, yet. Retooling and upgrading manufacturing facilities, again, would be part of their design or worked in. It just a matter of need and costs (same principals as in real-life).

    I'll keep my 👍 or 👎 till this is over. Dr. Crusher can handle phaser. She's fought the Borg, 3 times, a crazy scientist who can stop his vital functions on a whim, Cardassians, the Son'a, oh and a parasitic anaphasic lifeform from a candle. Capt. Shaw reminds me of, as Ensign Mariner would say, a Capt. Jellico-type of commander. Might/might not be a micro-manager but someone with a rod shoved up his ass.

    I think they (the writers) didn’t know what to do with the character. Hunter’s the father-figure, Wrecker’s the brother, and Tech is the teacher. ‘Not sure what Echo is. Writing him out as a a regular in the show is probably the only plan they can come up with right now.

    They still are 20-ish episodes these days. It's just a matter of how much they want to spend on production. A shorter season only means, hopefully, that they are spending more on production rather than episodes; quality over quantity. Given The Mandalorian's use of VFX...I would imagine they need to equal production costs with episode counts.

    The Last of Us is on TV then streaming afterwards on HBO Max. Except for this week 'cuz of the Super Bowl. It's probably a benefit that the shooting schedules are far enough apart that he can film both shows.

    😑 I stand by my statement. No humanoid dismemberment, no buy (at least not until it comes on sale..like a year or 2 later). Stupid Disney.😡 I want humanoid dismemberment just like the old Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy-days.

    Seeing that Earth technology is quite different from existing Zentradi technology despite stemming from Protoculture, “upgrade in parity” is quite hard. NUNS has improved things were they can (powerplants, sensors, armaments, pilot survivability), but a completely new system would be needed to incorporate NUNS tech into Zentradi tech. This is seen in the Neo-Glaug and the Feios Valkyrie. Existing Zentradi tech has mostly seen their upgrades stapled on, per se. Zentradi tech is still capable to modern VFs with their current upgrades (see the Q-Rhea).

    Growling Sidewinder already posted a DCS-version so….Bandai-Namco, clock’s a tickin’. 🤑

    "huge movie that unfortunately got pulled" could mean LITERALLY ANYTHING. He can't say cuz it's still under NDA? Until it can be proven it was for this thing *points at this thread*, still in production hell, sorry back into dormancy you go.

    ‘Never said anything about it being good or not. I don’t know if it will be good or not. But westernized live-action versions of anime tend to not do well. And do I think this will attract new subscribers? Not enough to warrant another season.
  18. azrael
    Hot take: This is getting cancelled. Pretty sure I don’t need to see a trailer. Anime to westernized live-action just doesn’t work. ‘Should have never been green lit.

    IMO, it’s ok. Nothing special story-wise. Not worth a rewatch.
  20. azrael
    Oh no, that's old trends. It's now all about high schoolers in corporate high schools doing Valk battle simulations until a war break..oh wait...

    Gundam has a lot of "magic" particles. But yes, in Gundam, they are not blasting their rockets at full burn. Otherwise, those would be some really short fights, and very long engagements (lots of scope shooting). At least in the UC, mobile suits also use base jabbers to fly around and close the distance (whom are also not running their rockets at full burn either). "Real" went out the door as soon as a 16-year old was able to pilot a robot only using the instruction manual binder as a guide.
  22. azrael
    Ah yes...
  23. azrael
    Yep. Still sticking with this ☝️. Less mass? They took out some things they didn't need to make room for the Fold-Wave system. Slightly better thrust? Engine tweak (singular). ICS improvement? Fold-wave installation.

    We don't know.
