PIC S3 Ships & Tech

There’s no more Treaty of Algeron. I would think they could get a cloaking device pretty much anywhere rather than stealing a 100 year old ship from a museum.

Yes, of course, because that's logical & it makes sense both in-universe & for good writing, but in the Matalas Memberberry 'Verse....
 
They stole an old romulan BoP from a Vulcan museum on LDSS1 for similar reasons already.

Indeed, as well as the fact that even with the Treaty of Algernon potentially defunct Starfleet may not just have cloaks lying about. Save for at the Daystom Institute for research. 200 years of not using a tech is a long time to suddenly change.

But, yes, I imagine that the Bounty or another BoP will be a potential target.

But, shh...we do not speak ill of Matalas here ;)
 
Remind me - did the Defiant A have the cloak as well? Why yank a 200 year old cloak when you can retrofit one that already works? I'm making a huge assumption that a) it has a cloak, and b) it is in the museum.

Seeing Kirk's Space Whale Circus Train would be a hoot, but I will be pleasantly surprised if it actually shows up.

So say we all.. or This is the way.. or.. sure.. :beer:

I'm pretty sure there is a section of a ships computer that is a Captains eyes only, break glass in event of an emergency Files.
and I would make a guess that there is a plan for a cloaking device in it, that is regularly updated to keep up with the times. atleast I would HOPE so
 
I imagine they want easy access to a cloaking device from someone that they can trust, La Forge and the museum fit that bill perfectly. Plus it saves time running around. One stop and shop.

the whole point of “The Pegasus” was that Starfleet doesn’t do this.
 
A thought occurred to me this morning.

The next episode is called "The Bounty".

We know we're meeting La Forge in this one. We know he's stationed at the Fleet Museum.

What do you bet we're gonna see the gang borrow a certain 100+-year-old Bird-of-Prey to reach Daystrom Station undetected?
A reviewer mentioned a while ago that the BoP was recovered and is now in the museum
 
the whole point of “The Pegasus” was that Starfleet doesn’t do this.

“The Pegasus” established that the Treaty of Algeron prohibited Federation starships to have cloaking devices. Presumably this stipulation was made by the Romulans. Now that the Romulan Empire is gone, there is no need to conform to the treaty, and no reason at all why Federation starships shouldn’t be able to have cloaking tech.

And doing research on such tech.

we don’t know if the treaty was passed over to the Romulan Free State, not (I think) if the federation and the Romulan Empire were the only parties involved. As of now we just don’t have enough information one way or the other to make any assumption.
 
The alternate future seen in “AGT” showed that once the Romulan Empire was conquered by the Klingons, Federation ships had cloaking devices. So it’s pretty safe to assume that the treaty was specifically tied only to the Romulans. But I guess we’ll find out if that’s true tomorrow.
 
I don’t think there was a Romulan Free state in that timeline. Also, who knows what the political scenario implied
 
Here are the museum ships!

And the new Echelon class

Not really new; it's just the Sagan class with the lower nacelles removed.

What's the 4th and 5th?

4th looks like the Insignia class from the SOTL 2016 calendar:

5th looks like the Constitution III (which shouldn’t be in a museum.)

Also, those NCC numbers don't correspond to the actual ships shown in the episode. Which is good, because most of them don't make sense.

Looks like we see the USS Excelsior NCC-42037, the USS Trumbull NCC-72370 (Duderstadt class), and an Echelon class ship in the first scene. We also see the Echelon class ships USS Cole and USS Sternbach at Daystrom Station. Apparently they didn't want to use any of the STO ships from last season up close because they weren't detailed enough, or the Sagan class because...they didn't want to confuse them with the Stargazer? :shrug:

Also, there is a panel with ship outlines and registry numbers that don't seem to correspond with the museum ships they're supposed to represent. The Akira silhouette is NCC-23542, the Intrepid class silhouette is NCC-77543 (but is clearly the Voyager in dialogue), and the silhouette of the TOS Constitution class is NCC-75442 (but representing the USS New Jersey NCC-1975.)

Apparently Starfleet no longer uses ships any older than the Akira class these days, because every starship is now linked to the other.
