    Certianlly better than the one NeonPixel or whatever his name is made. At this one still includes the Inquiry, a new design, and no intrepid classes.

    Though the inclusion of the Nebula class is a bit weird I think.

    What's ironic is that the Odyssey class looks great in that vid, but looks like absolute shit in the official trailer for season 3.

    I find often that fan made trailers are better made then official trailers.

    I find trailers manipulative, fan or otherwise. So, I generally avoid them. It's a marketing tool, a demand for attention.

    Had it confirmed yesterday on Twitter that the Lower Decks U.S.S. Titan conference lounge legacy wall is being ignored in PIC S3, in favour of different prior Titans, including a Shangri-La class (basically the Titan-A with TMP nacelles)

    Maybe I'm the only one. If so, I'll die on this hill, alone. But, If they had to pick a fan design for the Enterprise-F, it should've been this....

    Yeah, it's a radical departure from the Ent-E..... but it just has something, I really don't know what, that just screams... ENTERPRISE.

    The primary hull and engines look pretty good but that secondary hull needs work. The tapered fantail doesn’t do it for me.

    Don't disagree. It's not without flaws. There's definitely a few things I would change, including what you mentioned.

    That design was also a contender from the Design the Enterprise-F contest. I have to admit that I do like it better than the Odyssey class, and I don’t have a problem with the secondary hull, but I don’t care for the round saucer.

    Of course, my peeve with this ship, the Odyssey class, and most of the submissions from that contest, was that none of them really evoked anything that was much different from the Enterprise that preceded it. I guess I wanted something completely original that looked nothing like the Starfleet vessels we were used to seeing, and the fans simply didn’t have that spark of originality.

    Since there was only room for three previously named Titans on the legacy wall, I’m sure the consideration of an earlier TOS Loknar-class Titan and others could be maintained. But I don’t make these kinds of decisions.

    Well if the NX-01 could be left off the TMP wall, and XCV-330 off of most of the Enterprises', I guess the Lower Decks and Picard S3 legacy Titans can co-exist.

    Yeah, it's not like a small ship with a very common name that has had 20 ancestors has to cram all these models into its display :D

    Even the 1701-E display case left out the NX-01 and that was after ENT was created and the 22nd century starship was an established fact in that universe.

    The Stage9 project, which based the bridge off season 7 version which no longer had the ships in the conference room, moved them to the stairwell outside the conference room had the carrier, NX-01 and such, looked nice.
