I think it has been proven in many battles over and over again that small maneuverable crafts IS absolutely crucial in taking down a larger entity.

The Problem is Kwa that once you leave Atmo the small craft is just small. An X wing would have equal maneuverability to a Death star the only problem would be if it got to close to the gravity well.
If you get to close to the Gravity well of a planet then yes the odds reverse. as the larger craft is fighting to pull itself out.
Basically the fighter only really works in low orbit. beyond that fighters loose their edge.
In open space they would lack the range, against large targets they would lack the punch against well armed foes they would lack the protection. their only potential would be more or less as missiles and ram themselves into the target.
In Low orbit a fighter knocks out the engines and then rams the target into a degrading orbit so that a large capital ship would hit reentry and breakup.
Fighters in open space unless you have a convenient plot device like a thermal vent not going to be in a position of advantage. In Atmo they have the atmosphere and gravity on their side.

Until we actually get info we can't assume its more than just a different style of logo.

What's the story though, are they making an anthology series.

The trailer is better than the last one, but this is now the third movie where it looks like they're still using a Kirk who's trying to figure out who he is from scratch. There's nothing wrong with a character introspective, drawn out development, or even some level of uncertainty in his personality, but this goes beyond that. Three movies in, and Kirk is still asking the same question he's been asking since the beginning of the first movie, and they've been at this for 7 years now. It's past time to let Pine's Kirk come into his own.

Are we watching the same trailer? Kirk didn't ask any questions. The comments made at the beginning were mainly to sum up the previous movies.

He was giving orders in a confident way indicative of a good leader. Also, his crew made some comments suggesting their confidence in and even admiration for their leader. All evidence suggests that Kirk has matured into a competent leader.

I think Kyanges argument was more about the film portraying Kirk questioning about his place in the Star Fleet Federation of Planets as is with the last two films with his parents and his idol (previous Enterprise Captain) were all dead to whom he looked up to. I can see some people even myself don't want to see the film is always about Kirk the person instead of Captain Kirk. We want to see more of Captain Kirk and his crew as his family. That's what separate Star Trek from Star Wars.
