Spoilers 31st/32nd Century Ships Revealed
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
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.
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.

Gorgeous!A cleaned up Armstrong
She looks like she's been carved from stone. I just love that.
And mounting deflector emitters to the pylons is inspired.
Any idea on how big she is?

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

Thanks. We know that the chubby Constellation-class descendant is the Curie and the...angular reverse "C" is the Dresselhaus. Which means the "ladle" is either the Thaant or the Liu Cixin...but which?
All of this sounds nightmarish.
We could always just include VOY: Endgame and STO weaponry.
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?)

Why not? It's all becoming borderline spell casting weapon's magic any way.
China doesn't have Netflix. (nor does Crimea, Syria and North Korea)

As far as I can tell, there's no legal way to get Discovery in China.

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.
I stand duly corrected, then.
