    I mean, I considered a career in aeronautics, and my grandfather worked for Lockheed Martin. Couldn't quite help that.

    Enjoyable? It's terrible fan service with all old designs, no new 2390 era designs in sight.

    The Constitution-III looks like someone sat on a Constitution-II and then took a bite out of it. I'm still staggered that such an ugly ship is this year's hero vessel, especially given that the Stargazer-A is still around and looked fantastic. Hell, even the Intrepid looks better.

    The only thing I dislike about the Titan are the ugly nacelles they lifted from the Stargazer and tacked onto it.

    The Gazer nacelles should be rotated 90 degrees, parallel to the saucer.

    Now please can someone explain me with logic why sickbay on Enteprise, 150 older ship than Titan-A, is 10 times bigger and even more modern than on Titan-A, ship from 25th century? I really don't understand this.

    Enterprise, mid 23rd century

    There may be more than one? The FJ blueprints showed multiple ICU's, briefing rooms and transporter rooms on a ship considerably smaller than the Titan-A. These vessels are massive - there is no reason to assume there's only one of each.

    As for looking more modern, that can be left to subjective interpretation.

    Movie vs. tv budget.

    Also, something something Kelvin timeline.

    The pic he posted was of the SNW sickbay, not the Kelvin/movie universe sickbay.

    What movie? First screnshot is from series Strange New Worlds, and the second one is from series Picard.

    More than one what? Where?

    In fairness, I initially thought it was the Abramsprise sickbay as well. They are both very big, colorful and brightly lit.

    Eh? Strange New Worlds isn't the Kelvin timeline.

    It looked like a screencap of the Abrams movies to me.

    Because medical technology in the 25th century is more advanced. Many more wounds and illnesses can be treated in the field or in the comfort of a crewperson's own quarters, and the recuperation time is much shorter, so far fewer beds are needed.

    Current day parallel: there are less than half the number of hospital beds in the US today compared to 1960.

    Additionally, the TNG Technical Manual species that the holodecks, cargo bays and shuttlebays can be converted into emergency wards for mass casualty situations, but not normally required, seems likely this is still the standard operating procedure on ships like the Titan-A. We saw this procedure once (TNG: Night Terrors) when Crusher was dealing with mass casualties from USS Brattain.
