Starship design history in light of Discovery

Did you spill soda on the Caps Lock key again?

 

Why does it seem that more advanced ships have greeter surface details and features?

 

Compensating?

 

Right... because yelling at people always helps drive the point home in a logical discussion.

 

idk it all started with the refit in TMP

 

Its not details I have a problem with, its that a very detailed ship has a weird section where there is a hole in the design filled with a bunch of random spikes

 

I wasn’t replying to you.

 

Plus, it would be an absolute crime not to make continued use of Mary Chieffo as L'Rell and Shazad Latiff as Ash.

Because unlike things such as narrative aesthetics, visual aesthetic pleasure is almost completely subjective, which means some looks press the "like" button in some brains and not others, and it's almost entirely random which brain is which.

 

*looks up the word crime*

Hmmm...

 

Clarke class was named after Arthur C Clarke?

 

Stanley Clarke.

 

We really need a famed military aviator to keep this consistent with Eaves' mania.

There's an obscure USAF general by the name Richard Clark, lamentably not to be confused with the far less obscure Army general Richard Clarke... And a couple of Clarkes working for NASA.

But I'm pretty sure that in the Trek universe, Arthur C. Clarke was the first British radar specialist to the Moon, thus qualifying. (Robert Heinlein never personally flew any of the USN spaceplanes in the Eugenics Wars, being a full Admiral by then. And Isaac Asimov was last seen dropping thiotimoline in the gas tank of his car, but since the only witness statement to him actually making it to space comes from a footnote in the Domesday Book, Eaves never named anything after him in any universe.)

I don’t think we know who the Clarke was named after. Unless it was in an Eaglemoss booklet.

In universe speaking, it’s a separate class inspired by the Malachowski. Swapping parts is just a gameplay customization thing. It’s not a refit.

 

That's the joke.

 

I want to see a modified smoother version of the discovery bird of prey AND a traditional klingon bird of prey(maybe somewhere inbetween the Enterprise and TSFS looks, or just a pre-refit of the well known movies and tng version)

 

He uses musicians from time to time. Or, at least, a musician.

 

That would have been my first guess...
