Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard

I figured it is either the D or a former crewmate.
He's looking at a crew mate out of a shuttlepod window?

And maybe he still was. The whole thing is very confusing.
There could be multiple ships in the dock we can't see, but you can see a Sutherland Class in the background before the cutaway from the shuttlepod.

And again when the Titan is leaving

Former crewmate would be randomly hilarious.

As Picard shifts in his seat at Rikers reaction and looks all emotional I'm going to say it's a good bet it's an Enterprise. I want to say the D, but the inactive D saucer amongst all these clearly operational ships seems a bit peculiar.

They could have attached the recovered D saucer to one of (probably very) many secondary Galaxy hulls after the DW.
 
From what I gather, the Stargazer was the child of Bass, Eaves, and Drexler.
The design sure, but Terry would still have come up with the idea of having a ship named after the Stargazer and have final say on things about it.

Terry didn’t design the Titan either.
 
And? Terry would still have final say on things.

Terry didn’t design the Titan either.

Well, I don't know. Maybe he was ok with the designers setting on NCC-82893?

No, but it seems evident that he was the driving force behind the Titan-A's overall look, class designation, ect.
 
I don’t agree. If he cared about letters because they were cool, the stargazer would have had one. There’s probably a different reason.

I'm thinking that the D saucer is in a Starfleet museum (maybe that building that gets destroyed? You can see an older shuttle and statue outside, so I'm thinking that's some kind of museum)

Maybe the ship we don't see yet is the 1701-F?
 
Terry said something in the trailer wasn't a museum on twitter, but I wasn't watching the live stream he was live commentating so I'm not sure what he was referring to.
 
I agree 100%. If they are setting this up to be a new 7of9 show after PIC ends (and I still have my doubts that this is the case), why didn’t they just make the hero ship the Enterprise-F? The only people who care about the Titan lineage are people who have a familiarity with the novels (and people who post here), and they probably make up about 5% of the total Star Trek viewing audience. Why such reverence for the name of a ship whose exploits the average viewer knows nothing about, other than Riker getting command after Nemesis ended (and let’s face it - I highly doubt LDS has many of the same viewers as people watching the live-action shows, so it’s not like Riker’s time on the previous Titan is a thing.)

When Riker says “Hello, beautiful” in that trailer, did people think he was talking about a new or old Enterprise? I certainly did. And maybe he even was, based on the quick cutaway. But the trailer was edited to make the context seem like he was referring to the new Titan. And maybe he still was. The whole thing is very confusing.

Also…Titan-A? It’s now at least the fourth ship to bear the name (the Loknar class, the Shangri-La class, the Luna class, and the Constitution III class.) So what was the point of giving it a letter suffix? And why did it get a suffix, but the new Stargazer didn’t?

I will admit, Seven was a former Borg who applied to Starfleet, got rejected, became a Ranger, then tried again and is now a commander..... That's already a stretch. For her to be given command of the Enterprise-F would be weird to say the least. Hell, any command so quickly would be odd.
 
It wasn't clearly depicted in Season 2, but according to Terry and Jeri, it was intended that Seven gave up after the first rejection, before Janeway went fully into trying to persuade Starfleet to let her join.

Which doesn't change what you said. I just thought it was worth pointing out.
 
Heck, Picard giving Seven the Stargazer center seat in the last episode made no damn sense. The ship was literally full of officers who had more seniority than someone who wasn’t even in Starfleet. It was just silly writing (or foreshadowing something even more silly, as @Mage pointed out. How much time has passed here? How can Seven be a commander so fast?)
