Spoilers 31st/32nd Century Ships Revealed

I just want to know the class names of the USS Dresselhaus, USS Currie and the stingray type (USS Thant, if recent sources are to be believed). Wonder why they weren't included with the other ship concept art we got a few months ago.

I'm quite disappointed that future ships use the same phasers and quantum torpedoes. You'd think something new would have come along. The Vengeance in the Kelvin Universe had arcing phasers and (unseen, but designed by ILM) neutron torpedoes.

Stuff like warp cannons, which obliterate an enemy ship's warp field by first shredding it along the axes of the vessel, doing wonders to its architecture. And Omega torpedoes, which rupture subspace so you can channel explosive forces along precise pathways. Oh, and transporter mines, which dematerialize matter indiscriminately without needing to reconstitute it later.
 
I mean, on the one hand I wouldn't mind a different variety of weapons, or weapons that can engage in multiple different modes. However, the firearm has been around for a while too, with only minor variations on cartridges and calibers, and perhaps lighter materials. Direct Energy Weapons continue to be developed but not with any great application across multiple platforms.

Omega torpedoes sound like a terrible idea.

Transporter mines sound highly ineffective as most shields are able to effectively limit transporter effectiveness without much difficulty.

Warp canons sound like a quick way to cause collateral damage.
 
Since the Courage-class command science destroyer is now in-game, I met two at Wolf 359 in my Janeway-class. That ship is enormous! Looked like it was almost a kilometer tall.

Whoa! Another preview picture of the 2nd ed! Is there a larger version available somewhere? Can somebody make out the name of the ladle?
 
Transporter mines go through a ship's shields effortlessly. Oh, an they're phase-cloaked. Problem is, they're huge. Nacelle size.

Omega torpedoes cripple an enemy's communications, with the added benefit of slowing down shipping. Subspace repair technology is in its infancy, so these are still potent weapons.

Warp cannons...well...no Captain relishes the idea of firing even one, but needs must.

Hybrid sidearms that discharge a plasma suspension of gold press latinum (yes, that stuff the Ferengi were always pornographically eager to acquire) at an opponent at near light speed are especially popular simply because they require far less energy to use than a standard phaser or disruptor.

There's even an elite force of holographic soldiers with full autonomy which can be deployed to worlds needing special security requirements. The days of the MACO and Redshirt are long past.
 
I'd love for Saru to obtain captaincy of the new Voyager by the end of the upcoming season. Burnham helms Discovery and Saru fits the role of Sulu on the Excelsior, if you will, except both ships are critical to the story going forward and share close-knit crews.

This post is wildly off-topic at the moment but I figured it goes here anyway, ha.

Might be able to narrow it down based on known names and the table of contents

All of this sounds nightmarish.
 
USS Liu Cixin?

The man's not even dead yet, but I suppose that didn't stop Berman and company from naming ships and shuttles for Farouk El-Baz, did it?


(And we're never going to see another USS Tian An Men (or "Tiān'ānmén") while Netflix is airing the various Trek series in mainland China, are we?)

True. I imagine that after the Burn, weapon R & D would be accelerated to protect what's left. And now the economy of the Federation and its Starfleet is recovering, these systems can be installed and deployed. We don't know what other threats are waiting in deep space, but it is wise to be ready.

Nuke for orbit. Got it. It's not overkill if we haven't killed everything, including potentially crippling ourselves.
