Discovery Size Argument™ thread

Nice to see the TOS Font survived for this ship

It might be because the original ship, the USS Yeager, was a background ship that you couldn't even see the name of.

The Mirror universe ISS Buran used the same font as every other ship.
 
Early shots of the Europa and other ships used the TOS typeface for Ship Name and Registry Numbers. Someone came in and dictated everything should use the same font Eurostile Expanded/Microgramma on displays. Franz Joseph favoured this font (in a light weight) for his Enterprise designs.

The top one has TOS style rectangle windows at the front and the longer vertical windows around the side and back of the saucer, but the newer version only has the vertical windows
No it doesn't. The saucer windows are identical. Three sensor ports on both, Two small portholes flanking four tooth windows between on both models. The issue is I feel you guys are just looking at low-res screens that make them look retangular but they are the same I promise. Here are larger/clearer photos that show the windows are literally the same as per the Anovos model and the shot at the end of season 1.

They're literally the same. The same DSC tooth windows and ports. Just two are clear models and the other has loads of bad postfx on it but all using the same windows and arrangement. Even the upcoming Eaglemoss model also utilizes the same DSC windows. Pretty sure everyone has just been seeing things, or lying to themselves for some odd reason. Never and I say never has the DSC Enterprise used the long retangular TOS windows at any point visually. Which makes obvious sense considering everything is meant to use redressed DSC sets.

Huh, I stand corrected. The windows on the saucer rim really looked like the TOS shape and arrangement to me, but I guess it may have been the lighting and angle.
 
Spock’s quarters has a horizontal window instead of a vertical.

Mind you his quarters are a redress of the brig which had no window.

Also this image for anyone who cares of the DSC ships. Reasonable quality as well.

From that angle the Nimitz Class really does look like a Miranda.

Meanwhile, Eaglemoss has the Qugh at 1360 Meters

Its from ex astris scientia ... i mean... how long is the sarcophagus ship.... and are they trying to sell me the backside of the ship as front??

Or Klingons going into battle ass first now?

CRAAAAAZY MOFO´s

EDIT: I meant the comparison between the Qugh and Sarco, If the Qugh is 1360 m the Sac must be what 4 km? And the positioning of the Qugh is reversed or do i see it in a wrong way?

the Sarcophagus is around 2500 Meters long in Star Trek Online IIRC, and they use the numbers given to them by CBS.

We do know size can change depending on the needs of the scene, drama and such.

The Klingon Sarcophagus Ship was huge compared to the Shenzou.

It being over 1000m long sounds about right to me as the Shenzou is around 400-500m
 
Where did those other ship-class names come from? Eaves?
Eaves didn’t design the Klingon ships.

The names come from Eaglemoss. They had a poster at Destination Star Trek Germany earlier this year with all the ships labelled.

The only ships that don’t have Klingon names are the Sarcophagus, Cleave Ship and the bird of prey.

"Sarcophagus" is a human word.
I prefer "Duj lommey".
I believe the Klingons themselves called it the ship of the dead. So whatever that is in Klingon.
