Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

[137th Gebirg]

The nacelle pylons look open with large gaps, much like the Ceretos. I would have expected TOS Mirandas' main hulls to be filled out a little more than just a dish with a pair of nacelles slapped on underneath. Maybe my mind has just been permanently contaminated by Coventry and Surya designs. Just looks more like a Ceretos-type to me.

I'm not seeing a California class style gap in the pylons. I think that's just a reflection

If it's the same ship here, there's clearly no large gap in the pylons, at most it has the same gap that's in the Enterprise's pylons.

What video is this from?

~1:22 in this BTS video

 

[DaveyNY]

Heh ... it's amazing that we 'Shippers' may actually get a slew of nicely visible ship-shots in this new series that we can enjoyably dissect for the foreseeable future.

The guys at TREKYARDS are probably salivating all over their keyboards at this point.

 

[Tuskin38]

Looking at your image again Harpsichord, yeah, if there was a second nacelle we would be able to clearly see it at that angle. So I do I think it only has one nacelle now.

 

[fireproof78]

Is that.. is that a Saladin?

The placement of the pylon looks wrong. It is not center line, at least from that angle.

Two gaps, actually. Not identical to the California's, mind you (never said they were), missing the middle portion between the nacelles as well, but a TOS-era version of the design:


Looks pretty close to me.

 

[DaveyNY]

Here's a larger render...

I guess it's possible that the port nacelle might be hidden by the primary hull ...

But I'm not sure.

It would be really cool if it is a "Saladin" type single nacelle ship though.

 

[Tuskin38]

It only has one nacelle.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Huh! Well, yeah, it does have one nacelle (with Kelvin-esque blue bussards, no less!) but it looks really off-to-starboard from the center line. It does seem to have one big California-sized gap in the pylon, though. Maybe it's a Saladin-ized California? Pfft... I got nothin' now...

 

[DaveyNY]

So kinda like this, but the interconnecting neck doesn't have any livable space in it.
Its just a warp drive connection.

I would love a Saladin class style ship. The angle is weird though.

Maybe they were never windows!

They probably never were on any previous versions of the ship, no. If STD used them as windows at some point, that was an outlier.

Kinda hard to tell what that is exactly.

I think they were windows on STD - I think that's where the briefing room or Captain's ready room was? It may have also been the room where that torpedo got lodged. Maybe it was decided to not use it as anything anymore after that, deeming it too vulnerable?

 

[Ronald Held]

Will this show be more VFX heavy than DSC?

 

[DaveyNY]

Ohhh... that leads to this ...

It's the WARP Core IN Engineering.

 

[Mudd]

How y'all like the new warp core?

Somebody probably pointed out to the SNW producers that they were never windows.
