Saving Ensign Ryan?
Other navies are also available! See also – the UK's current flagship is the HMS Queen Elizabeth, and she'sborderline immortalvery much still alive.
Please don't go tempting fate like that. There's enough going on this yeat without throwing George VII into the mix
Thanks, I did wonder; we've had a lot of Queens called Elizabeth.
Similarly, but understanding's always been that the 2 in QEII (the cruise ship) was also because she was named after the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship, rather than the Queen.

IIRC, the FASA fleet construction book (or perhaps the Federation sourcebook - I'd have to check my nerd library
) had a somewhat similar figure for the Starfleet of the TMP era, but that number did include all of the small support craft and similar vessels. It was a total sum and not simply the line ships.Stargazer bridge has a lot going for it, it's
- triple chair layout is lovely homage to Galaxy class

Plus: the return of LCARS in ship consoles a tech we haven't seen since.... Lower decks.
Con: is stark battleship gray interior, red leather chairs look "Barber shop" Where as prior had stark but still nice color, better ambient lights

We get the idea Starship is made of Metal, but this shine job really makes it look too much like laminated plastic. Too much backlighting, this is Star Trek, Not Tron. Better ambient lights diffused, carpet with brown, red, muted & earth tones.

The layout is clean, simple, and easy to navigate. Best of the 24th/25th century by far.
Trust me, a lot of polishing goes on aboard ships I have been on.
I remember when complaints were about plywood sets.
I think they look great. Whatever they are made of it looks real to me. Like they spared no expense.

A friend of mine was in the U.S. Navy and had to polish everything for inspection, and he and his team would basically be one compartment ahead of the inspecting officer to ensure it was clean.
There is something very visceral with the Stargazer set that I find quite appealing.
Warning for spamming. I really don't see why this is so difficult. I'm now issuing a reply ban for several threads in this forum. You won't be able to reply at all.

4x03:
- Are we saying that Seven isn't capable of calculating the temporal jump because she lacks any implants in this reality?
- Phaser vaporization is incomprehensible at the best of times. Here we see some poor sod get zapped while being held by someone else, and the other party is just fine. Other times we've seen this sort of thing happen, the target AND people standing immediately next to them are dissipated. I sometimes wonder if the phaser is a "smart weapon" that can be literally set to vaporize one person at a time, and it somehow applies destructive energy to do exactly that to the exclusion of others directly adjacent.
- The three Evil Starfleet ships are all named after Evil Starfleet Admirals from the TNG era: Quinn, Dougherty and Leyton. I guess here they're celebrated war heroes or whatever. All of them have NCCs in the 70k range, which makes me wonder if this reality has lower ship production rates than the Prime universe.
- OTOH, the ships are noted as being "no match for La Sirena's upgraded weapons", so perhaps that's a consideration. Borg upgrades or not, one shot is enough to disable or destroy each of them! And also, each torpedo or whatever it is hit the Evil Starships' main deflector, which happens to be close to where we assume the warp core is on both designs, and which results in the nacelles exploding in all cases. Nice.
- In beaming the gang to LA, I guess they beamed them in a straight line through the planet's mass? I wonder if that significantly reduces the range?
- The Evil Tricorder seems to be based on a Galaxy Fold smartphone. :P

This is the same StarFleet that programmed "Auto-Aim" on Phasers without any form of "Iron-Sites" on them.
I'm pretty sure they put in some logic to determine how "Crispy" you want your target.
Do you want to turn them into dust, or chunky salsa?
The computer will decide that when you aim, where you aim, what you aim at.
the initial coordinates are near raffi's home, close to LA
I was wishing they would crash at Vasquez Rocks.

*Chateau. "Chateaux" is plural.
Thought it looked wrong, but autocucumber didn't flag it up, so thank you the explaining what was going wrong.
My question still stands though:
Reading the episode thread and there seems to be some debate on there too, so it's either not be stated yet, or isn't immediately obvious.

The thing about crash-landing La Sirena is... wouldn't it be noticed? 21st century radar should easily pick it up, and at ~86m in length it's bigger than a 747.
Usually, the Stealth Aircraft / Vessels are designed with Stealth Principles (Geometric Shaping) & Radar Absorbing Materials together from the ground up, or the manufacturer doesn't even bother.
There's very rarely some weird in between where they half ass the Stealth Shaping Principles.
Ship's deflectors scattered any radar beams?
