I'm the same way, nits don't really bother me, the storyline is what I find to be important.

Judging by this picture:
I'd say 3,000 feet is about right.

Indeed, it only matters to canon whores and nitpickers. ST has needed a fresh start for a long time and if one of the things they do is ditch the ridiculous minimalism that was in the series, so much the better.Nickswitz wrote:I'm the same way, nits don't really bother me, the storyline is what I find to be important.

The mistakes aren't nearly enough nits to detract from the goodness of the movie.

Re: ST:XI Spoiler Thread (READ AT OWN RISK)
I wonder why it was increased to 3000 feet? I mean, what are the numbers of crewmembers?
Re: ST:XI Spoiler Thread (READ AT OWN RISK)
He was probably just incorrect in his numbers.
That's my thought.
Then again, it would explain the 400 crew members on the Kelvin.

A 909 meter ship would have at least over a 1000 crewmembers.Nickswitz wrote:He was probably just incorrect in his numbers.

Re: ST:XI Spoiler Thread (READ AT OWN RISK)

The guy in charge of the FX got his numbers wrong?

IDK, someone got their numbers wrong, because that would mean it would need a lot more people than there were.
Wasn't it just Abram's that said that?

The interview was with the ILM guy in charge of the FX, if I recall correctly.
Besides, higher levels of automation means less crew requirements. Crew requirement for a future starship is speculative at best, anyways, unless a specific number is given.

OK, fair enough, it doesn't bother me enough to really care, the movie was still good.

I agree with that. I'd still like to know how big it's supposed to be.
And, how many phaser turrets it has, torpedo compliment, top speed...
and so on.

Re: ST:XI Spoiler Thread (READ AT OWN RISK)
That would be nice to know, like a whole canon list of compliments etc.
