Wouldn't be the first time Star Trek ignored characterizations.
USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?
- Thread starter EJD1984
- Start date
Not bad
Yes, but with such a well know character like Pike it's understandable that people would be upset...
Because they are evoking the TOS Enterprise. If you want an in-universe explanation, most Starfleet ships in DSC are built 10 years or so after the Enterprise. But really, we must not twist our minds into pretzels to find an in-universe explanation for everything.
That shot looks great, but it was clearly rendered in a rush. All the highlights chatter because of insufficient anti-alias sampling.
Of all the things in SSS-II I was really disappointed that the briefing room was placed at the very front of the Enterprise. It corresponds to those three circular lights st the front of the ship. But if those lights are tiny enough to be four feet tall then the Enterprise is a tiny, tiny ship!!
Have we actually seen stars through those openings?
I'm of the opinion that they are just there for decoration and not actual windows.
Light comes down from an angle into the room at like 50 degrees. My impression is the windows for the briefing room are on the surface of the saucer section.
Ok not 4K but at least HD:
She may be controversial but from this angle she's absolutely and positively gorgeous.
Being _not_ a 3D artist, could you explain what to look for to see what you're describing?
Yeah this is basically Discovery's version of the TMP shot of the fully-lit Enterprise.
I would like to add that she looks gorgeous from EVERY angel
The exterior shots of the impaling torpedo make it obvious that they mean it to be the three round lights in the front of the ship. I’m pretty sure the original designers of the TOS Enterprise did NOT mean for them to be windows. The way they look in the DSC Enterprise, even without explicitly showing stars, is suppose to evoke the same “windows.” If they are windows it would mean the total edge of the saucer is the height of two grown humans. Makes no sense! Given the size the ship should be, the edge of the saucer should be the height of 5-10 men.
Look at the angle of how light is coming in during the meeting in the briefing room. Its clearling coming from above. Those small windows letting in light are logically inset on the top of the saucer.
The torpedo that lodges itself in the saucer is too far back for those to be windows on the front of the saucer edge, assuming that's even the same room as we saw for the conference.
It's interesting that in the top picture, it appears that the Pennant on the side of the ship is actually Engraved into the hull and isn't just painted on.A few good shots of the Enterprise
