Spoilers The new (massive spoiler) ship!

Think it's obvious...

I don't think things are as obvious as you think they are.

if Matalas and co. didnt like the STO design of the E-F they would have designed their own.

I don’t think they care all that much if the fan base likes the design or not.

Hopefully not. Hopefully they did a design they like in the story.

Think it's obvious if you look at the opinion of fans here, in other forums and on Reddit, that there are a lot of fans not liking or even hating the design of the F. Guess they may have done their homework but also didn't wanted to disappoint the ones who liked the STO version.

If they didn't like the design, they wouldn't have used it.

And a lot of people like the Odyssey, at least people who play the game. I see them and their variants used a lot.

I don't think you quite understand the time and budget limitations that Berman Trek was always under. First of all, the producers didn't even want a new model built for the C. They wanted to use the already existing movie models (either the A or the Excelsior) for the ship (either by modifying the existing models to create a new 'class' or just making the ship the A or the B instead of the C.) Second, this luckily didn't happen only because Greg Jein was such a prolific modelmaker that he could build a ship on time and under budget, or in several cases for free. But that meant that sacrifices had to be made with the original Probert design for cost and time constraints. Just be happy we even got a C model at all.

Ooh, to think we could have had the Enterprise-B as an unmodified (or at least less obnoxiously modified) Excelsior-class ship instead... I'd have been very fine with that!

Why? At this rate, it'll just get decommissioned ten years later.

Bold of you to assume it'd last ten years!

The Enterprise F gets decommissioned in the first episode. It's not the hero ship. They're using the F because they have the digital assets for it and didn't have to waste money and time designing something worthy of being a hero ship for a few scenes flying around spacedock.

I'm very happy with the ship that we got.

Is that imperial meters or metric meters?

 

[Tomalak]

As much as I would love to see a new Enterprise-G, I'm still inclined to think they got rid of the F in favor of the TNG gang riding in style with the Enterprise-E maybe late in season 3. Could be the Titan-A gets disabled or even destroyed and they look for other means to finish their mission.
There's also that snippet from the "Startreklogs" on Instagram about the Enterprises, with the Ent-E part stating "Final mission: CLASSIFIED" (in bold letters so we can take notice of that especially). Maybe the final mission of the Ent-E will be at the end of Picard season 3.

Could be, but they also say that for the Ent-C's launch, which makes no sense. I suspect it's more about not stepping on the toes of potential future stories.

Although it's hard not to tie it to the "incident" that wrecked Worf's career. His log seems to suggest he was the E's captain, briefly.

So.......Confirmed it's based off a refit version of the 442m long DSC/SNW Enterprise.....?

Sure, why not.

but the Titan-A's design is based off the Shangri-La class, not the Constitution.

Have they not been throwing around the terms "Neo Constitution" and "Constitution III"?

 

[Airmandan]

At this point I think the producers and writers are trolling us since they know we're going to be arguing for weeks over the way they've described the vessels and refits.

 

[Tuskin38]

That's the class name yes, but it's not based off the Connie.
It's based off the Shangri-La.

Wrong thread, this is the Enterprise-F thread

The G was decommissioned ten years before the F. Don't ask.

 

[NCC-73515]

Perhaps we can rename the thread now since the F has been in 2 trailers now. I just initially thought it's such a big reveal that putting it in the title would be too spoilery

And the current team seem to enjoy canonising things from STO and books so I don't think there is anything deep behind it.

 

[Dukhat]

They’ve got 100+ years to get to J

The J was from an alternate universe. So it doesn't count.

I was really hoping that the Odyssey class F would never count too but here we are
