Spoilers Picard Prequel "Children of Mars"

They couldn't afford to render some First Contact era ships? It's not like they have to design them from scratch. It doesn't take long.
I'm sorry but that is no excuse. They own a vast library of starships that would have been more appropriate.

I didn't really notice, nor did I care. I'm confident the actual series will give us better, more "appropriate" ships. This was basically a student film in comparison.

Do They really though?

God only knows what happened to all the CGI assets from Berman Trek's final years.
I really doubt that in the last year of ENTERPRISE's production anybody thought to hang on to those CGI files.
 
It was well-produced and interesting. Short Treks are EXPERIMENTAL. I love the new formats and ways of telling the stories. It's great. The best time to be a fan since.. 1993?

A note to CBS: With 3 original seasons of Trek content this year, please, take the endless criticism of Data's appearance and the ships in dry dock as a compliment. Thanks.
 
Enjoyed this one. Good music and the tone is way more serious than what TNG felt like. I dig it.
 
I'm not even sure what a "Magee" ship is .
This ....

It was the USS SHRAN in a DISCOVERY episode.
:techman:
 
I actually really LOVED this one. It was short, simple, poignant...and that was all a strength. It was elegant as such. "We Could Be Heroes" is one of my favorite songs of all time. And this brought back the emotions of that fateful day in September 2001.

Best short since Calypso. Fantastic.
 
The tow ships from "Brother".
The Magee is the flying saucer, not the tow ship.

Some models still exist, Doug Drexler still has a lot, and the TrekYards guys have managed to get some from some of the original 3D artists.
 
In actuality, I believe that the Tugs are more of an offshoot of the USS CLARKE...
(which is a member of the Malachowski-class of starships)

Rather than the Magee class.
:biggrin:
