At the end of the Movie Star Trek X(Nemesis) Riker is said to be taking captain of the USS Titan, but that is all they really say about it in the movie.

Assumptions are being made that Titan will be a new class ship, or a ship of some new class. The next iteration beyond Soverign class, I would guess.

Assumptions are also, this will be made into a new TV Series centered around Riker and Troi(Now married) and probably a new crew of interesting cast members. Or same, made into the next Star Trek XI Movie.

I think it is a great idea for a next TV series if they could come up with some new ideas, not the same ideas rehashed 101 different ways.

Dot....

Reference the movie Star Trek X : Nemisis...

Titan is mentioned but not seen... command given to Riker.

I would think that if the Titan weren't another Sovereign, then it would make sense for it to be a new ship designed to fight the Scimitar. That being said, the Titan is more than likely just an Ambassador.

the Titan was mentioned in the movie before they even saw the Scimitar... how can this thought of yours make sense?

Its simple, the Titan is a sovereign class starship.

Its high caliber, fast, powerful and full of energy, ideal for a new TV series... and theyre only going to get further critisism on any new design they create. the sovereign is a proven design and the fans like it... any other 'new' design would be considered cheese among fans everywhere. considered that they actually are planning a new series, otherwise im talking complete bullsh*t

MrCue · « **Reply #26 on:** February 08, 2003, 08:52:46 pm »

i would rather see a prometheus class instead of a sovereign

What makes you think the fans don't like new designs? We liked the Sovereign, Prometheus, Defiant... and so on.

Every new series has featured a new ship design as it's focal point. Did the creators of TNG simply use the Constitutuion-Refit as the new Enterprise because everyone liked it? No, they went ahead with a totally new design, even though they could easily have based TNG immediately after the TMP era and used the Connie or Excelsior as the new ship.

Same for Voyager and Enterprise - no Daedalus there (and thank god... what an eyesore!).

Now, I'm not saying I wouldn't MIND the series to be based on a Sovereign, but it would be a little un-origional.

if they've said it on startrek.com i appologize....but really. why does everyone think the Titan is a Titan class, and not just the name of say, another sovereign for instance?

Alidar Jarok · « **Reply #31 on:** February 07, 2003, 10:45:20 pm »

The rumor is that the Titan would have be in its own show. It doesn't seem a good idea for raitings to use a ship people have seen over and over again.

Archlite, Saber? Why would he get a Saber?

It's probably a Runabout.

The Runabout Titan, from Starfleet's irony department.

There's a thread about this on Bridge Commander Universe forums - the general consensus that was reached was that the Titan is a Galaxy-Class ship, although I've never heard of a Galaxy being named after a moon.

Whiplash · « **Reply #33 on:** February 07, 2003, 11:58:17 pm »

The rumor I heard, in conjunction with Riker and Troi getting their own show, was that the Titan was supposed to be the largest vessel the Federation had yet built. If true, that would automatically make it the first of its kind, and thus Titan-class.

I heard this rumor about Riker and Troi's own series - about six years ago. Is it being revitalized? I bet Sirtis is certainly up for it. And yes, they would have to get a totally new ship - we've seen plenty of Galaxys and Sovereigns.

I read somewhere the Titan was Prometheus class vessel... It may have been late though, who knows.

Aliasalpha · « **Reply #37 on:** February 08, 2003, 03:51:04 am »

There is one main reason that I suspect the Titan will be a new class of ship, they need to make some cool new models for ST-XI for the time when the crisis rears it's head & it's just by sheer co-incidence that the only ship in range of the Enterprise at the time will be the Titan.

That will be about 5 minutes before B4 has a seizure in engineering & stands up 20 seconds later magically re-incarnated as Data... Sorry if I sound kinda cynical but trek has a habit of bringing back favourites...

Blitzkrieg · « **Reply #38 on:** February 08, 2003, 04:59:44 am »

Well he has the sum of all data's knowledge, but they did say he was a bit of a thiko. Probably find B4 hanging out at some cheesy bar drinking schnaps. As for the Titan they should make it a good ship, maybe a Galaxy or perhaps even a Sov at a stretch to the imagination, but surely not a new class of super ship. After all its his first command, there are far more experianced people to take command of a new class of super dooper trooper man I gota stay off of these pep pills ship!

I hope it will be a Steamrunner. But please don't give him a big cheese ship.
