Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard

[cooleddie74]

The first Pilot bridge didn't even HAVE a dedication plaque.

It keeps going

Refit Enterprise - Defiantly Constitution Class Starship.

Something....

 

[cooleddie74]

It keeps going

And that's from 1967.

Take THAT, fandom!

In my days we didn't have fancy dedication plaques. We had to the one ship and were glad to have the one!

We used charcoal on the wall.

And we liked it!

It was up on the bridge head wall and it said "This is a spaceship"

 

[TimeIsAPredator]

Well there's your answer! The TOS series says Starship class. Clearly Pike is flying a different ship from Kirk.

Ya because Kirk flew a United Earth starship. Or was it an Earth Federation starship ?

I think in one episode, he just says "United Star Ship". I suspect it meant he had a ship that had no active mutiny ongoing.

 

[Commander K]

I find the new ships don't look 'fat' or chunky enough....seems curvy is out of fashion and size zero is in.

 

[Magistos]

Twiggy ships?

Have you seen the Enterprise-F?

United Star Ship is the only term we ever heard in all of Star Trek for what "USS" means. Maybe someday we'll get an in-universe explanation as to what NCC means.

The curves and proportions seem off, too...

As much as people are excited to see it, I'm kinda disappointed it's so crappy.

I also think it should have been a canonical ship, such as Yorktown, which would have been a more fitting tribute.

The Yorktown was there, as the Enterprise-A.

 

[Tuskin38]

Nope. That's an urban myth.

No one from production, not even Gene said the Enterprise-A was a renamed Yorktown.

 

[137th Gebirg]

I thought it was the other way around - once the Yorktown made it back to spacedock (via the "makeshift solar sail"), it was quickly renamed and repainted to the E-A following the Kirk/council room scene. IIRC, another name that was bounced about was Atlantis. My memory is really foggy about those details that far back...

 

[cooleddie74]

The Ti-Ho is another name referenced as the source for the Enterprise-A. That one comes from the reference book Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise.

 

[Dukhat]

LOL. “Kirk, we’re giving you command of the Enterprise-A. But you’ll have to wait a bit so we can remove all the dead bodies of the Yorktown crew first.”

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

A quick vacuuming, a little air freshener....

I rather liked the idea that the E-A was Yorktown and the massive problems we see in Final Frontier is because of the lingering systems problems that the Whale Probe inflicted on it.
