There were slight differences in the star streaks.
Spoilers The new (massive spoiler) ship!
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
If only Berman were back...
And there were slight differences between the three Enterprise-D models; doesn't mean they were different ships.
Also, marketing. The miniatures in Orville and The Mandalorian are used far less than the publicity implies, and their biggest practical use is probably defining the look for the CG artists (and I do believe the style is the fundamental problem in the newer Trek shows; someone really likes high-contrast, faux lo-fi, blacklight-poster space effects).
yeah the models in Orville and Mando were used for panning/fly-by shots, none of the action shots.
Every series had its own transporter FX as well, it changed between some movies too.
Neither do the different warp FX mean a different type of warp.

I wish there were model kits of The Orvill or Krill ships
TNG had a rainbow effect, but DS9, VOY, ENT, FC, INS, NEM all had the same one, or at least so similar that differences aren't noticeable.TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT all had the same warp effect. It was standardised for almost 20 years. Now we have Discovery not even having the same warp effect between individual seasons
Sorry, I meant the mothballed spaceframes might be stored on Mars.
I agree that it’s obviously the Enterprise in the Drafting Room 5 simulation.

Has @Ihlecreations weighed in anywhere on the fact that his design is now being fully canonized?
Ihle left this site long ago because he felt guilt that everyone who had submitted arguably better designs than he did lost.
And his design wasn’t really canonized. It was the STO version that they created based on his design that is being shown on screen. Unlike, say, Torangeau’s Titan, which was shown exactly as Sean designed it.
Judging from his Twitter account he seems to have dealt with his guilt...
There are many canon ship designs I actively dislike, including the Odyssey-class it has to be said, but then I also know full well that if I'd designed a canon starship and someone told me they didn't like it I'd be very much "But it's an ACTUAL starship in ACTUAL Star Trek and I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome that is". Hell, Rick Sternbach once gave me feedback on a piece of artwork I did and even though I'm sure he was just being polite I'm still on cloud nine about that many years later!
What do you think of the design of the ships from Nu-Trek so far?
Putting aside the series that it's from and the stories attached to them.
Just aesthetically, how do they look to your eyes as a long time fan, basically one of us.
We all have our perspectives on what makes a StarShip Aesthetically pleasing.
I specifically put "most of the time" because I knew someone would be a pedant.
"It may be a proven fact that for every starship design you think is cool and well-done, you will meet a bunch of people who think it is the worst design ever and actually prefer something that you think is the worst."

Canon doesn't make lovely ships. More often than not they are built to someone else's standards of beauty and practical limitations of the art form. Most do their job well as a vehicle of adventure. Few make me go "ohh...Pretty."
