Ship to ship combat? Prometheus trailer of trailer.

@humanityFTW...here are some detailed instructions for how to post pics and links for you and anyone else who has trouble.........if you look at the bar of options at the top of your reply window you will see two icons of import.....the white/green box is for posting pics and the infinite or chain looking symbol to its right is the one for posting links. When you click on either a window should pop up that asks for a url....If it doesn't pop up, your browser will ask you if you want to temporarily allow scripted windows...allow it........for pics, right click on the pic you want on a given web page, not google images (won't work...go into the source page all the way), right clicking will force a window to pop up...choose properties and copy the URL of your chosen pic....paste the URL in the scripted window that appears when you click on the white/green icon......hit enter and script with the url will appear in your reply....when you post, your pic will come up........................for links, click on the infinite looking icon and follow the same proceudre until it pops up.......copy the address for your destination page at the top of your browser and paste it into that window...hit enter and script with the address will appear in your reply...now, there will be highlighted text in that script (your text to link here...) replace that, including the decimals, with whatever you like, such as the name of the page or thread.....post and your link will appear in blue.

combat..maybe, yeah..in the first clip it seems though the derelict is exploding from within not shot down?

That object being launched from the Prometheus will be the escape pod Vickers uses to get away before Janek smashes the Prometheus into the Derelict.

I think the OP makes a really reasonable suggestion. The SJ ship seems to have some thing that could be a weapon too! see these pictures: [url=http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=18703&fullsize=1]Right behind on to right from Shaws right arm[/url] [url=http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=18704&fullsize=1]Same "turret" under the right arm of SJ ship[/url] @craigamore This may sound like bitching, but I don't mean to be mean or anything. But. Do you have some hardware problem so you have to type..........................................................................................Like this? First I thought your 'space' key doesn't work, but you do have spaces just fine there. Normally people don't cut to different paragraphs with ...... many dots. They just leave space. I still don't try to be mean, but I really do think that people should try to write as correct language as they can. "Good grammar".

...............................i do it all the time

[OFFTOPIC] Ehem. Ok. It does seem to make the text more dramatic with adding space that isn't empty space. [/OFFTOPIC] Also, Prometheus firing missiles against SJ ship - I Want to see that, definetly.

^ No one want teh spaec jockies to die D:

i kid, but it would suck if u killed something that looks harmless like an sj

@Ghorgul.......I do it....because I do it.....they're forum posts....not articles of the Constitution. I'm not writing an entrance essay into Stanford or anything. I make an effort to spell correctly and avoid acronyms such as LOL at all costs, because I personally don't prefer using them. Otherwise, frankly, the...........phenomenon you so clearly have austere and, well, socio-superior issues with is an intentional, conscious choice to be as informal as one can be given the forum in which it is being employed. Also, as I like writing in a stream of consciousness concerning my ideas, the.....phenomenon is perfectly suited to my enjoyment in this instance. We are here for the purposes of fun.....are we not? If I was out to please everyone's literary sensibilities, I would have given a damn about the dots to begin with....clearly, my informal interest lies in the ideas we are here to discuss in civility and friendship....rather than lording legalistic grammatical certainty over one of my fellow forum members......................thank you for your keen eye..................

And thank you ncc1701..........the support is appreciated.

OK so if ANYONE hasn't figured it out yet, Vickers is running toward the escape pod, gets in it, crosses her arms then it gets blown out the ship before Janek crashes it into the fleeing Alien ship. I really don't know why it is that people still don't understand the events as they happen. You should be able to piece it together from what we've seen. The Prometheus will crash into the Derelict. How hard is it to understand? Why try to come up with theories about missiles being launched from the Prometheus when it is quite obviously an escape craft??????

Agreed Cypher....that's pretty much what I was thinking.

Yah huh. Thanks craigo ;-) I get that we're all excited and stuff, but come on guys. Use the brains you were given.

There seems to be a little tension on this thread for some reason.... Hey! Someone out there! Post an animated gif of that scene when the escape pod ejects from the Prometheus. I would love to see it in a loop.

"Use the brains you were given." I could say the same? Prometheus is pretty enormous sized too probably about half of the space filled by SJ ships shape. SJ ship having a lot of empty space in the middle, their Mass difference probably isnt 1:2, could be more like 1:1.5. So I would not take it as a grain of salt that Prometheus crashes itself to pieces against SJ ship. Why? Because we only see a little hole in SJ ship, Prometheus would probably rip the ship in half if it hit it to the place we see in trailer (unless the SJ ship is extremely rigid) I know the Prometheus-ramming-SJ ship is a very popular theory. But if we think storywise, it sounds bad, something Ridley Scott would probably not do. Die Hard 4 and destroying flying Helicopter with a car, anyone? We see in trailer Idris Elba have a extremely scared look on his face and red light flashing. Maybe this scene is right before SJ ship zaps Prometheus to pieces using some sort of energy weapons? I say now that we won't see Prometheus crashing itself against SJ ship in this movie. This is just a guess, but atleast I have provided some thoughts to support my theory. June 8th will show who is right. @craigamore The fact........is............your writing style...........really...hurts...........................my eyes. And lets be clear, written media will always be written media. Of course one should not always write very formal english, I really see no point in that. Those dots you use are much like the empty moments in spoken language. And you even describe it as similar phenomenon to spaces in spoken language. Well, your mild insults and deliberate choice of writing with your own standards greatly annoy, and even anger me. Dots have a important function in written language, they show that sentence changes into another. And mostly different sentences say different things. And you proceed on dropping dot-bombs in middle of sentences... I guess it's because i'm so used to reading texts with normal spacing and dot using. English isnt even my 1st language, to be certain (and no way my english is perfect). Well, im not going to go on more about your writing style. Don't be offended if I choose to skip your posts unread (especially if they contain several dot-bombs). I will be doing this to preserve peace, purely. Nothing personal, your writing style + that attitude that goes with it, really just pushes my buttons.

I had a much longer post originally (as this browser or forum or whatever randomly log outs my profile, sometimes the long post I write goes missing completely and gets not posted) "Use the brains you were given?" I could ask to same, no? I don't see Prometheus crashing into SJ ship. It's more likely that we see SJ ship blow up Prometheus to pieces with some kind of weapon. Especially as we see in the trailer Idris Elba make a very surprised/scared looking face, probably just a moment before Prometheus is destroyed. Notice the red light flashing, coming from energy weapons of some sort? Also, the size of Prometheus is so great it would not leave just little smoking hole in side of SJ ship, in my opinion. Prometheus crashing itself is probably one of the most popular theories in this forum, but I think it's false. Saturday or June 8th will show which side is right (though my side appears empty, as there are already 3 people throwing mild insults or trying to annoy me) @craigamore Written media will always be written media. It doesn't always have to be very formal. Also, I tried to write discreetly and not be insulting, obviously I failed as you felt compelled to throw insults at me. That attitude that goes with your writing style + your writing style really pushes my buttons. Dots have an important function when forming sentences. I might have to skip your posts entirely if they have lots of these dot-bombs, as they just get on my nerve. Nothing personal still. @Nrlfetmefan Amen to that, including the loop.

@ghorgul One thing that ruins threads is when people start to get unnervey with one and other about opinions not pertaining to the topic at hand. I am not innocent, I've gotten a little cranky myself on this forum in the past. Yet I think it's best to make a conscious attempt to remember that this is not a forum for personal feelings, except when pertaining to Prometheus. Besides, if I can handle talking to HP tech support from some dude in India who can't speak English to save his life, you can handle the little idiosyncracies often seen in the way people write. If we can, let's just stay on topic and leave the emotion where it belongs......in our own heads, not on the forum. Everyone out there! I surf this forum from an iPad, it's all i got to work with....I would love it if someone would do their animated GIF magic to the scene pertaining to this thread. Thanks.

I hope not. The ship dogfight thing just doesn't seem to follow the vibe they have been presenting to us. Now unless something does a 360 in the trailers presentation I don't see that happening at all. If it does happen, I am scared that the movie will be a let down to people who only really enjoy the first "Alien" film and were looking for something different then the usual sci-fi fare. I want more of a "2001" meets "Alien" vibe from this, and less James Cameron action stuff.

@Nrlfetmefan You are right :) To my defense, I must say I've tried to add to the topic more each time I have replied. And I intend to do it now too: On this other thread Shilliam Watner theorised (about the roads) that prometheus might have a energy weapon of some sort to make the road there. So maybe we could see some ship-to-ship combat, done with energy weapons à la Star Wars? The trailer seems to confirm that SJ ship emerges somewhat victorious of this duel. Unless the prometheus just got little hits and those little hits spread the burning pieces around the landscape. This could be possible too, as a ship of Prometheus' size would probably spread a lot bigger pieces and much more of them. Unless it explodes in very nice, spectacular way in Full 3D. Either way, makes me excited to see the film and the scene-to-come! @Shane I can't personally relate at all with the crashing, it seems even less probable. Let's have an example, shall we: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5z0OaJc2BE]Video from one movie[/url] Now imagine that the car is Prometheus and Helicopter is SJ ship. And Bruce Willis is Vickers. And if there is a dogfight, it probably is very short and brutal.
