Great spot! I need to rewatch the scene to observe if that panel is visible. If so, then Probert Station is canon!
Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard
- Thread starter pst
- Start date
Yeah the Titan is much larger than the Shang so there can’t be any direct reuse there.
Looking the the Luna and the Neo-Constitution side-by-side, I’m actually quite comfortable with the idea that large parts of the internal structure were reused. Basically if you bolted on new saucer panels, pylons and nacelles, you are there.
If true, incredibly unfortunate. Despite iconic designs, Andrew Probert's worldview and Star Trek's are about as far apart as Earth and Cardassia Prime.
I love good starship orthos. Where is this from?
Ready Room
The Enterprise refit is one of my favourite designs but the adage "never meet your heroes" is so very true.
Whoa! I was also caught by surprise upon also just learning this right now!
Mind-blown (not in a good way)…

Ironic, since if I remember / believe the lore he lobbied the hardest for Space Dock not to be used in 11001001. Or at least that it was being used incorrectly. That may have been one of the nails in the coffin of his Star Trek career.
BS. It's not just a three nacelled ship. It matches the Federation class in every detail.
Wow!
I didn't notice it at first but it appears to have the aft-facing deflector in place of the shuttlebay, and the saucer has a steeper rise compared to the flatter Constitution class.
No shit, Tomalak was being sarcastic.
I have a feeling the Federation was put there without anyone realizing that shit we don’t own this design. So Dave has to deny it for legal reasons
I wasn't calling BS of Tomalak. I was calling BS on the original tweet.
Ah sorry
There were three of them in the well lit picture, though only one was visible in the episode IIRC.

I mean that doesn't really change what I said.
Dave replied 'No' to someone asking if it was the Dreadnaught to the Terry tweet even though they clearly are, so he has to be saying that for some reason. I'm just speculating based on what we know about the rights to the Tech Manual designs.
Agreed on the reason they aren't admitting anything. But you said "I have a feeling the Federation was put there", but they put at least 3 of them there, so somebody must have been asleep on the job for one to make it on-screen.
I loved seeing it. The easter eggs on this show so far have been great.
