Kurtzman has been boasting about the upcoming Mandalorian style AR screens television Trek will be getting soon. They should be perfectly capable of making Yorktown style backgrounds next season.
Location of Federation HQ post The Burn

Since HQ and everything else was built while in motion, it moves along with the rest of everything
I didn't say it didn't move along with the rest of everything in the galaxy.
Then what was your point?
You do realize you're using a very perjorative term for the show? I'm just asking because when I first read "STD", I didn't immediately make the connection.
As to the topic at hand... I do think the crew would ask these qestions - not specifically about powers they've never heard of - but about the power structure the known parts of the galaxy. And "what about the Vulcans?" And they'd want to know about their home planets/ cultres if it wasn't Earth:
AND I'm sure the writers could come up with interesting bits of showing that, without 6 hours of Q & A.
Although drunk Tilly would be fun, too.

C'mon, he's new, and he's clearly not using the acronym in a pejorative manner (as he goes on to use STP innocently when referring to Picard). Like I've said before, we should really promote and accept people who use it in a friendly, cheerful manner to counteract all the people who think the acronym is some sort of major insult. It's just letters, just words, and we Star Trek fans should be better than that.
It was an just honest question. He might want to know what it means... Not unfriendly at all.
When it's someone whose posts are predominantly negative about the show, one might infer that it is being used in a pejorative manner. One might also question if it's someone who's indeed new.
Putting those aside, it's still worth making the point to someone using it innocently, as it can affect how posts are perceived.
I'm chiefly insulted by the waste of two perfectly good letters. Nobody truly needs to know this is a "ST" show, so the D should be accompanied by other letters of choice simply because it can.
Wanna bet the fact that the cloak is powered by the docked ships will feature big time in the future, with Vance perhaps refusing to send out ships out of fear of becoming visible?

2260's Yorktown was a big showy "look what we can do", the jewel in the Federation's crown.Starbase Yorktown from the Kelvin timeline 900 years ago looked more impressive than 32nd century Federation Headquarters. No wonder the Borg lost interest in assimilating them.
3189's Starfleet HQ is a stealth facility built following a century of war and a galactic apocalypse. Form following function and all that.
Plus, the unfortunate reality of a TV budget versus a blockbuster movie.
How about allowing people to use whatever terminology they wish, and judging only based on their overall individual posts? We really shouldn't resort to pearl-clutching and discriminatory behavior every time someone uses the "wrong" three letters, and I really shouldn't have to reiterate this simple maxim every time, either. We're Star Trek fans. We should be better than this.
We've never seen 32nd Starfleet stuff before this show. There is no set '32nd century style' in canon before this.
But we have seen 29th century time ships. The Aeon and Relativity. And those are VERY close to 32nd century (or roughly 200 years before the Burn).
Temporal technology may have been banned, but ships wouldn't be. Time ships would likely have temporal technology stripped from them.
So? Starfleet changes design aesthetics all the time.
Look at TOS compared to TNG, and that's only what, 100 years?
Look at Discovery compared to TOS, that's only 10 years?
Look at TOS to TMP. That's only 3 years.Look at Discovery compared to TOS, that's only 10 years?
Yep only barest outline remained of TOS's bridge, engineering was completely different and don't get me started on the uniforms!!!! *
* This is the point where someone uses a mallet to make a square peg fit in a round hole and declares "see it works fine!!!!"

Dr. Who dealt with this right. "You changed the desktop theme!"Yep only barest outline remained of TOS's bridge, engineering was completely different and don't get me started on the uniforms!!!! *

A half century of supposed visual continuity errors in Dr. Who fixed in one line. I wouldn't be against Strange New Worlds using this explanation honestly. It'd be rather fitting too since New Trek has brought back the cliche of useful technologies never seen again to absurd degrees with the Burn (what happened to quantum storage for example in regards to that plant ship business?).
