Transwarp beaming from Earth
Transwarp beaming from Earth
I'm actually fine with that idea, since it follows a logical technological progression. I just selfishly want to see some new ships
The only issue I see about this is that Admiral Clancy (and to an extent, Picard himself) shouldn't have been fretting about needing ships or not having enough ships if ships are now redundant because of transwarp beaming.
There is probably site-to-site transwarp beaming (Earth to Vulcan, FreeCloud, or some other populated world), but other locations (like the "Artefact") likely don't support that mode of transportation, as indicated by all the little Romulan ships zipping around it. Picard knows there is the potential for this contingency and knows he needs a ship to get to such places.
See how long it takes you count to 900 million.
I'm not following.
That's how many Romulans needed to be evacuated .
I don't think transwarp beaming was a factor, but for the sake of argument, let's say it was, but it's still a big deal, so they have limited facilities. Beaming 1-6 people at a time, 900 million would take a long, long time.
Ah. I wasn't referring to that, actually. I was referring to the state of Starfleet in 2399.

It would kill the travel time between worlds entirely. Which was sometimes months according to The Last Best Hope. Build a few ships chock full of transporter pads and send them world to world that needed evacuating.
Though it would've ended up killing the drama.
You clearly don't have kidsSo do I! Although very much less so when it's covered in vomit.
But, regardless, I personally love the new variety of Klingon ships. They don't look aesthetically pleasing to me and for me, that's the point. It's an alien culture. It shouldn't look nice to me.
Seems to be a lot of back and forth about visual continuity. My opinion on the subject is I have no problem with visual update like they did with the Enterprise on Discovery to match modern production values. The Klingons on Discovery on the other hand is iffy at best. Felt it was unnecessary to change the make up as extreme as they did, same for the ships. I have the eaglemoss models of Klingons and they are ugly. Sorry they are. I think Into Darkness did much better with the Klingons. Only minor changes to match movie quality production values and still be Klingons. Just my two cents.
From what I saw of them when I was modding the Eaglemoss thread in GTD, those Disco Klingon ships were fugly as shit.
They reminded me more of something that a reimagined Kazon on Voyager would use
I agree. But they would've worked out decently enough if Discovery had been a reboot. Since it supposedly isn't, they stick out like a fucking sore thumb.

Generic ship of the week, which was fine on Voyager.
The new D7 that we saw during S2 looks right though.
They just need to sort out the Klingon Bird of Prey, ST Picard did it fine with the Romulan BoP and it looked great.
I think the problem was that not only did the ships look completely different from what we were all used to, the Klingons themselves looked completely different. It was like a completely different alien race with only superficial connections with what we'd seen before. At least before, the ships were relatively similar in design. There was just too much change this time around.
