I like the spore drive, there I said it.
I don't mind the Spore Drive, but it forced me to change alot of my In Universe Technical Guide.
It gets uncovered and revealed to the UFP public in my Head canon, it becomes a "Game Changer" in StarShip combat.
God imagine battles if everyone had one, Blink Wars
It'd be like watching a typical Naruto fight in space, and replace people with StarShips.
That must have been the epic, but brief, holographic civil war.
LOL......... Oh I didn't think of that.
I just had this picture of fleets of ships randomly blinking in and out of space at random locations shooting then blinking somewhere else... That would actually be a neat battle to watch come to think of it.
Didn’t Dark Matter (which has a lot of Trek in its pure ninetiesoleum DNA) do that? (I’m not saying the whole spore drive a de everyone wanting to capture it was in anyway influenced by Dark Matter, I wouldn’t say that, no, definitely not saying that. In any way. At all.) (or Farscape, and the wormhole tech)
Oh you are quite right. It's similar.. The Blink Drive. Very similar.
Isn't there a TAS episode that played with shrinking Kirk's crew? "The Terratin Incident"?
There was also a TOS episode that dealt with that and Kirk is looking at his ship sitting on a table and you could see him looking at the ship windows and it even gave us views from inside the bridge looking out.

"Requiem for Methuselah."
"Requiem for Methuselah."
Thank you I was trying to remember the actual title.
I like the Enterprise D but to me it always made me think of a squashed duck
Except not exactly. We saw Kirk's face from the bridge POV, even though a "window" would have shown his left hand only. So the thing in TOS is a viewscreen. Perhaps not exclusively, but at least in this particular scene.
We don't know if Flint the Immortal really shrank the kids. He would have achieved the same effect by showing Kirk a miniature holo that would frighten the skipper, while neutralizing the actual starship in orbit with the "parlor tricks" available to the con artist of TNG "Devil's Due". But shrinking was a thing in "Terratin" and also in "One Little Ship"; it just wasn't fully controllable in either.

Why would they take away the sexy wing patterning??STO's take on a 'modern' (2411) version of the DSC Bird of Prey
Because that is only for real Birds of Prey.
