Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard

Examples of failed Russian tech. You asked for examples and citations of my response based on your incorrect general assessment of “superior” Soviet technology (which still gives me a chuckle) and I gave them to you.

I guess I’m just not an unapologetic Russophile. I can live with that.

Can you show us where I wrote that general assessment? Nope.
The only thing you're demonstrating is your lack of interest in facts :shrug:
Your "location" explains that, and suggests some Russophilia, though ;)

They may have installed somewhat better tech in their shuttle, but what shoots down your 'superior' statement is that in fact, they never got it to actually fly with a crew.

Just because they used newer materials and tech, doesn't mean it was ever going to function even half as well as the American shuttles did.
 
There's a spoiler tag on the thread, I don't think it needs to be tagged

The Novas are missing their impulse engines, but they're still there on the Steamrunner. So it might be an oversight.

Deflector Arrays are red, probably to make them look more ~evil~. The bussards on the Steamrunner are smaller than the Prime version I think.

you may wanna check that again... and the simple reason why it only flew few times in the atmosphere (off the ground) and only once, fully automated, which the shuttles couldn't do, into space ;)

Yeah, my bad I didn't realize that they did one automated flight.
 
Sure. I didn't bring it up, I just wanted to correct some wrong conclusions. Now that we have new ship pictures, let's discuss the Nova, Steamrunner, and oil paintig Galaxy-Y ;)

I think the Steamrunner model is based off, or actually is the Eaglemoss 3D model, there's details on it that as far as I can tell, are only on the Eaglemoss model

The Number of deck 2 windows. The two models used in previous series/movies either had 3 sets or none at all

Eaglemoss and Picard have 4 sets of deck 2 windows.

There's also this glowing square on the back of the 'roll bar'. The square is there on one of the original models, but it didn't have a blue glow like in Picard and Eaglemoss

The shuttlebays at the rear of the saucer are different between the two renders. The original ILM/DS9 Steamrunner model had a front-facing shuttlebay. The Eaglemoss version took that away and made those two little black squares into shuttlebays, and moved them closer together. If the ship in PIC has those rear shuttlebays, it's the EM model.
 
Oops, I didn't notice you replied. I did replace the first 2 images of the Picard/Eaglemoss ones with a better comparison. There is no forward shuttlebay that I can tell.

Eaglemoss design is probably partially based off the TV CG model which didn't have the forward shuttlebays visible
