There's been an update to the Stage9 project. I messed around with it earlier and the creator hid some neat little easter eggs in it. There's nothing to really do except wander around in some very nicely done sets. It's still loaded with bugs, but the guy working on this has said he's hooked up with more people, and would like to recreate some of the more elaborate Ent-D parts that we never got to see on the show. I took some screenshots, they came out crappy and I forgot to take one of the main bridge in its entirety.     Album If you just want to watch the guy talking about this and going through the maps, watch this (turn your volume down): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O_h9zOd098

MikeJF posted:The Stage9 guy and the Enterprise3D guy really need to merge. Enterprise3d guy has been pretty silent for a while, I think he was getting poo poo from CBS but I've read he's still working on his project. Stage9 guy said on Reddit (I believe) that he reached out to E3D guy but got no response. I'm impressed with just how well the Stage9 stuff runs on my laptop (it is pretty beefy with a 970m) and how good it looks. That Unreal4 engine is pretty good stuff.

MikeJF posted:Enterprise3D guy was silent for a year or so but posted some new pics a few months ago, so he's still at it, I guess. Yeah, considering most of the Enterprise-D blueprints consist of crew quarters, crew lounges, and random mechanical rooms it could be auto-generated. We all really want to explore the main shuttle bay, dolphin tanks, the bottom of the warp core, computer cores, mall, etc.

I've always fantasized about an FX Star Trek series consisting of actors from Justified and Sons of Anarchy. Captain Timothy Olyphant, Chief Engineer Donal Logue (okay -Terriers), Doctor Ron Perlman, Ensign Theo Rossi, security chief Kim Coates, Science officer Natalie Zea, Admiral Nick Searcy.  Edit: I forgot Walter Goggins, he'd have to be advisory turned companion. Mental Hospitality fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Nov 28, 2016 |

The TNG de-evolution one, the Bashir brain drain one, the Voyager bad doctor one (yes I'm bad at remembering episode names), they're pretty much all enjoyable, if not necessarily 'good' episodes. I really enjoy those ones too, especially the DS9 one.

The effort they put into makeup alone is awesome. Also it was directed and shot pretty nice too. Real suspense type poo poo. Also, the time freeze episode where Picard draws the smiley face in the warp core breach is awesome too.

MikeJF posted:I'm bored and seriously considering converting the Enterprise-D's blueprints into Google Maps or OpenStreetMap's interior map formats. There's a new Stage-9 alpha build out that now includes some neat bits like part of the main computer core. The guy behind it has implemented Nvidia VXGI real-time lighting which means you need a pretty stout computer to run it. My 970m equipped laptop is barely hitting 30fps at FHD resolution. It used to be around 100 with the static lighting. Edit: I just noticed his site is down.  Here's the Reddit page for further reading.

Random Trek film post. I've been rewatching the films (1-10), and The Final Frontier was not...as bad as I remembered? I'd certainly rank it above Insurrection and Nemesis, probably Generations too. Maybe it's just because of some personal things in my life but the vision with McCoy and his father's terminal illness was really powerful. The music for the film was also quite lovely.

The thing that bugged me about Clues, was that by the time the episode was over they had spent 2...maybe 3 days hashing out this memory wipe, which means they're at least 2 days late arriving to wherever they're supposed to be. Surely Starfleet would be like "Hey, what the hell have you guys been up to? Also it's Wednesday, not Monday you dimwits." They also adjust the ship computer to make it seem like only 30 seconds had passed, but wouldn't the clock be forever 2+ days off from all the other Starfleet/Starbase clocks?

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:I seem to recall that was supposed to be one of the (in-universe) reasons they use the Stardate system, is to help account for time fuckery. Imagine all these Starfleet vessels encountering weird space-time phenomenon for the entirety of their missions. They all rendevouz back at earth, the crew younger or older than they should be, not even knowing what loving day it is. Probably a logistical/strategic nightmare. Hell, the U.S.S Bozeman was caught in a time loop for how long? They never did complete their mission, then they had to return to earth where all their loved ones had died and why do we do with the ship and the crew...

Seems that "Full Impulse" is .25 the speed of light. Doesn't the Enterprise accelerate to warp .9 (or was it .5?) in TMP? Would that be approaching light speed without going to warp/subspace? I know this is an overly nerdy discussion, but I'm just trying to kill time and I'm a nerd I guess. Edit: beaten above.

8-Bit Scholar posted:So long as Avery Brooks is still alive, Sisko could come back. Hell yeah. quote:The story would have a group of young, brash Federation kids steal a ship and go gallivanting off into an unknown section of the galaxy; it'd be some cool prototype ship and the Federation would be in hot pursuit. Along this way they'd befriend a number of various one-off alien races and the series would build towards them inspiring a whole section of the galaxy with old-school Federation ideals. Ultimately they'd end up heading back to earth, and Captain Sisko could show up on their bridge to lend them the climactic strategic skill needed to beat Janeway and save the Alpha Quadrant.

I'd like to see a new thread for Discovery, especially since I will probably be one of the saps paying for All Access to watch the show. I'm sure others here will be too so I'd like a dedicated thread to wallow in our misery (or elation over how awesome the show is?!) If there's not one by Sunday I'd be willing to throw one together with some effort, but I am neither funny or clever. I think just a canned synopsis and some cast/crew bio would be enough. New Trek doesn't just come around every year though, I'm sure a more seasoned Trekkie could add some flare. Mental Hospitality fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Sep 22, 2017 |

Nessus posted:Quark rules and provides a vital counterpoint to the main people in DS9. The older I get, the more I like Quark. He sums things up pretty well in the pilot: "Commander, I've made a career out of knowing when to leave. And this provisional government is far too provisional for my taste and when governments fall, people like me are lined up and shot." That right there is just drat good writing and gives the viewer a lot of information about just what kind of world he's living in, and what the "frontier" is all about.
