That's the common sentiment. Problem is it's limited by its medium. While in real life you could find a myriad of situations and issues to deal with and overcome, you'll only find what the situations and possible outcomes the writers have written for it.

That's true for any work of fiction so I don't hold it against Star Trek Online, though games can partially overcome it by having randomly created stuff and user-made stuff.

My main issues with Star Trek Online are that I find aspects of its design confusing and that I found that the Star Wars game Knights of the Old Republic handled dialog better and had comparable graphics despite being older (I think). And that Star Trek Online could give the player more options in how they deal with missions.

But I get some satisfaction from flying around and blasting things with phasers and torpedoes, the game gives lots of options for customizing your characters, and the scale of the interstellar space part of the game is good.

I would actually have enjoyed a custom ship design feature.

Abrams movies might suck but I'll always have Star Trek VI

That would be nice.

Tried looking, could not see it. It has First Contact, Generations and the other two next generation movies. Did not see any of the original movies.

But then again that was about a month or two ago, might be there now.

I liked the new star treks and thought they were good films until I saw the originals especially Wrath of Khan. Watching them close together really helps you to see what made wrath of khan great. They beat khan not by beating the crap out of him in a revenge of the sith style fight. But by 'exaggeration' (vulcans never lie) exploiting khan's desire for revenge and khan not listening to the advice of his crew.

In into darkness you can also just see how they are pandering to the fans of wrath of khan. Carol Marcus' assets, khan himself and all the lifted dialogue (Scottie says the exact same things to kirk as he says to Spock when the reactor is fixed "captain you better get down here" there is a YouTube video which has the two scenes cut up for dialogue and then side by side and it is ridiculous the likeness of them.

Watched the TNG episode Sub Rosa yesterday, or I like to call it" the one where the ghost gives Dr. Crusher orgasms"

That episode seemed like it would have fit Troi better.

Pretty much.

So the aptly named Star Trek 3, is set to release july of 2016, yet they don't even have a script.

[The Romulan Republic]

That still gives them a year and a half. There was less time than that between some Harry Potter films.

Said Harry Potter films had the books as a solid base for the scripts, though. Do they even have a storyline for that new Star Trek movie?

[The Romulan Republic]

I don't know, but an obvious option, following up on the last film and the action film nature of the current Star Trek films, is a war with the Klingons.

That would be a good place to take the series. Star Trek has done well with that sort of story before. That is assuming that it will be done with some degree of competence, of course, which after In to Darkness is a pretty big assumption.

Given that the next film does not have the same writers or the same director, there's no reason to expect it to be like Into Darkness.

[Ameriganastan]

Into Darkness was awesome.

That's my hope. But given the success of the prequels there is also no reason to think that it won't.

[New haven america]

Into Darkness was awesome.

It was awesome.

I don't count it as a ST movie though.
