presumably that's where the distress call at the end of "will you take my hand" comes in. how we get from the enterprise needing help to pike being ordered to take command of discovery, that might be writers working themselves out of a corner...

The ship appears to be damaged in the first episode, you see worker bees inspecting the ship in the first trailer.

Exactly..........might even need............wait for it..............a refit!

I was saying the all systems offline was for Episode 1, not a drydock scene.

Yet she impressively flew up to the Disco at the end of S1

2245 "AD"?

CE is becoming the accepted dating system. Unless they are going down this godfearing Pike route and he had it labelled that way.

Probably just the artist personally not using CE/BCE. Don't think too much into it.

The warp factors are interesting, warp 6 is listed as '384c', which is close to the TNG Warp Scale, but Warp 8 is 512c, which matches the TOS Warp scale exactly.

I still see AD far more than CE, even in secular publications. That's if I see it at all.

So they changed the ship from the end of season one? Now with straight pylons?

Guess visuals really don't matter in this show.

 

[CaptainMurdock]

Well it remains to be seen but we'll find out for certain come January.

 

[BillJ]

That’s way better than what’s on screen. Way better.

It is. But I still dislike that giant Excelsior-style impulse deck.

 

[Jadeb]

I do too, but I like Eaves’ (reported) notion that it would be upgraded to something smaller, as seen in TOS.

Most importantly, Eaves’ version doesn’t have those gaudy floodlights.

 

[jaime]

Just saw this... And you can see some of the measurements.

Those are very straight pylons.

 

[CaptainMurdock]

I wonder if they removed or at the very least shortened those ENT style bussard cap clasps on the tops and bottoms of each bussard collector dome.

 

[BillJ]

I think they need to thin out the secondary hull. Of all the things on it, that sticks out the most to me.

 

[BillJ]

I do give them credit. This one actually looks like something that could exist prior to TOS/"The Cage".

Yeah, I could believe this was the same ship as in TOS, only not as advanced.

 

[CaptainMurdock]

I don't know if it's just the angle of the screen but is the saucer a complete circle or more oval like the Enterprise D?

I don't think so. We've see the Season 1 Enterprise in several videos and even the recently released Season 2 poster.

This is either a mistake on the part of the graphics department, or it's from later on in the season.

The angle of the screen is squishing it, look at the SFC logo on the left, it's also an oval.
