I think I would have preferred that class be the crashed ship last week, then this week - SURPRISE! Kirks Farragut is one too!
I was keeping my eyes peeled for a Crossfield possibly lurking around the asteroid (planitiod?) Outpost...

Never said it wasn't my favorite ship.We all enjoy what we see so to each your own favorite ship
Just that it looks like a model. A very nice lovely ship model.
Hey, no one's comparing the Star Trek series to the Star Trek comics here!Yep, the MCU isn't re-imagining of changing a thing from the way the actual Marvel Comics Universe started things...oh, wait...
I'm nearly finished with a rewatch of the MCU movies + series (I just watched the finale of What If...?) and it's downright impressive how consistent they keep everything... with a few exceptions. Nothing's perfect.
It's impressive and exhausting and I hated it by the end of it all. Only my child's love kept me moderately interested.
Weird. Serveax said it looked like a model and you said it didn't look real. So the TOS ship is or one of your favorite ships then?
But in commenting, the TOS is my favorite ship and "we all enjoy what we see so to each your own favorite ship" can mean whichever favorite ship you like.
It will always be one of my favorite ships.
But, it doesn't ever feel like something that could be real.
Curious, what scifi ship could be real to you? Any of the Enterprises?
Abrams, refit. A lot of Halo Earth ships. Stargate.
Count me as part of that minority, too!
I'm not a big fan of the Abrams ships but yeah, I like the Halo Earth ships and the Stargate ships.
The high rev-ing nature of the flat plane crank warpcore really creates a special sound.
Romulan fleet
With so many ships, one wonders why they needed to use Klingon designs in “The Enterprise Incident.”
Klingons been using it for 200 years.
Faster design? In "The Deadly Years" the Enterprise could outrun the bird of preys but in "The Enterprise Incident" the Klingon design could overtake even with the Enterprise having a head start.
Because in 1968 Desilu/Paramount paid for a new Klingon ship model, and they wanted to see that model used as much as possible so it became the default ship for the Klingons and the Romulans.
Once I studied space ship designs the Enterprise became less believable.I'm not a big fan of the Abrams ships but yeah, I like the Halo Earth ships and the Stargate ships.
Which books/articles/ research papers did you read that had notes on the intricacies of 23rd Century spce ship design?
More a matter of how gravity worked and use of centrifugal force, and thrust. It was reading about background radiation and appropriate shielding. It was digging in to real world science that made it less appealing and more fantastical.Which books/articles/ research papers did you read that had notes on the intricacies of 23rd Century spce ship design?
It's an iconic design and no doubt some engineer is like, "No, fireproof, don't stop believing!" Well, noble soul, I wish you luck.
Well, yeah, if you read a site like Project Rho almost all scifi ships fail on some scientific thing for being believable. So the parameters of what is a believable scifi ship is very personal to what you would like to believe in as you decide on what to accept and discard.
Yup. And my parameters are quite narrow.
