Well, it's not so much that Enterprise sucks, but that it sucked.
I seriously think the third season made a big comeback, and could deffinitely bring the franchise back, provided they make sense of the stupid Alien Nazi junk.

You were definatly right about Dominion Wars. I tried the demo and it didn't even work right. It had potential, but it was pretty f***k'd up.

Why don't they make a game on Enterprise? I could see some nice "Elite Force" type potential
TNG sucked and it got loads of movies and games, its time for Voyager to have some. It was the best series after all.
Have you ever seen Best of Both World Pt.1 & 2? Best. Episodes. EVAR.

Actually, i'm not too sure whether i've watched it or not. I have watched quite a few TNG episodes, mainly to see Patrick Stewart's brilliant portrayal of Jean Luc Picard, but the brilliance of TNG starts and ends with Picard.
As for best episodes ever, many Voyager episodes are so much better than any TNG episodes. Year of Hell parts one and two, Futures End parts one and two, Meld, Scorpion parts one and two, Shattered, Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy. The list goes on.

IMHO Starfleet Command, Starfleet Command II, Klingon Academy and Elite Force were the better Trek games of the last decade. Note that the first three came from Interplay.

Okay, here is the truth about Star Trek: :D
- Enterprise started out with promise until a) the storyline turned into something on par with.... I dunno it just sucked, and b) Scott Bakula's acting failed to magically improve to an acceptable level.
- Voyager had some glaring faults, like the borg stuff and Captain Janeway sucking at life, but I thought overall it was acceptable. Not great, but okay. (Definitely had the best intro sequence.)
- TNG was the best series. Best captain, best loyalty to the original premise of Star Trek, best writing, and of course what's better than the Galaxy class?
- The best Star Trek episode ever was "The Inner Light", where Picard is rendered unconscious by a probe and lives out the entire life of a person from a lost civilization. (It won a Nebula Award, so it's not just me.)
- Armada does not suck!
- Elite Force was fun, but the dialogue was the second-worst I've ever heard. (The first being Hegemonia: Legions of Iron.)

The Galaxy's capabilities are only matched by the Sovereign class, but the Galaxy is better-looking. I wouldn't compare any of those other ships to it, especially the Defiant. It's a little gunship! To compare it to the Enterprise is heresy.

And what do you mean not enought firepower? The Galaxy class has phaser banks coming out the ears! You never see most of them fired, but the Defiant's speed wouldn't make a lick of difference because the Galaxy could hit it from literally any angle.
Practical design? There's no such thing in Star Trek. The entire Starfleet was engineered to be pretty. [/B]

The Nebula suffers from the kitbash syndrome, even if it isn't, but it is also cool. "Advanced weapons pod" looks exactly like the sensor/weapons pod on every single Nebula I've ever seen though, so no points for that.

Quite different IMO :p

But you can't tell me that the sensor pod is actually part of the nebula design. How on earth does it connect? A back-end on that configuration would be interesting to see. (My comments about the kitbash syndrome). Most of the time the Nebula is used interchangably for combat and science without changing it's visual appearance at all.

Indeed. TNG improved dramatically as soon as they started putting collared jackets on the uniforms.

I may not be terribly gifted at the maths, but I know that an aircraft carriers are commonly in the 600 to 800 meter range so how can the Andromeda be the stated size and elicit that kind of comment?

What costumes? They all look like they came out of a music video. Contrary to what we've been lead to believe, the High Guard must be very low key when it comes to proper dress. I realize it's kind of a naval setting and it's not like I'm asking for full dress every week, but is it too much to ask for the crew to wear standard uniforms? I mean really, they're the command staff for a crew of 4000, they should set an example. I understand that non-standard clothing might be required for covert stuff but really, there's not a whole lot of covertness about a Glorius Heritage cruiser.
BTW, kinda OT but does anyone have the dimensions of the Andromeda? I've seen 9?? x 4?? x 4?? in places but I remember a plot character commenting how she was the size of twelve or her worlds aircraft carriers. I may not be terribly gifted at the maths, but I know that an aircraft carriers are commonly in the 600 to 800 meter range so how can the Andromeda be the stated size and elicit that kind of comment?
Er... "rigid military mentality" is necessary in any kind of armed forces
...the new DSA forgoes such standard shipboard features as small craft, a Lancer contingent, and research capabilities in favor of missiles, missiles, and more missiles.

I think in the St-verse, it's very possible. Hell, the warp nacelles on most ships are tied in with bent tooth pick to the main hull (like the Galaxy). :p
IMO, the external nacelles are an old fashioned design. In the past they needed to be outside the ship to create a stable warp field. But instead of working it away (what should be done in a military fleet. See Defiant design) they decided on keeping them external because it gives a slight edge in speed (The Defiant is limited to Warp 9.2 IIRC and the Galaxy can go Warp 9.6+).
Also, power conduits seem to be very small in such ships. Like in the Intrepid class, one of the main powerconduits was an about 4 inches thick tube. It had 5,000 Terawatts flowing through it.
