I think the new Stargazer looks better than the Titan A and the Intrepid.

Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard
- Thread starter pst
- Start date
I always assumed the ghosts of the former crew.
Is that Shatner's mountain?I think the new Stargazer looks better than the Titan A and the Intrepid.
I always wondered about the personnel strings Kirk was able to pull to keep his crew together. There are THREE captains on that crew, as well as multiple people with commander rank, the same level that Sisko had when he took control of Deep Space Nine. So you're talking about a ship full of experienced officers that could all have their own commands somehow stationed on one ship.
Spock was Captain of the Enterprise in TWOK and merely kept his rank post death, yet wanted to be with the crew.
Scotty was "Captain of Engineering" but not the same as a fleet captain, etc.
Don't embed wiki images.
Okay
The ending of TVH was pure nonsense, but nowhere near as nonsensical as the next film. Kirk getting a ship back is fine, but he should have had junior officers as his crew, not Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu and Chekov.
Starfleet's a utopian space exploration organisation from a more enlightened era and everyone there is doing unpaid volunteer work. If some veteran officers want to hang out on a spaceship and have adventures together, Starfleet's happy as long as they're happy.
That sounds like a terrible way to run an organization. For starters, you have a couple of decades worth of experience in each of those officers all tied up on one ship. You have multiple other junior officers who would benefit from their tutelage.
They can't just work to be happy. They must contribute to the betterment of humanity.

Except for Sulu, who had to be a nonconformist and go off to command Excelsior.
Never Canonically Consistent
Even GEN sort of gets a detail wrong when it says Harriman is the first Captain of an Enterprise in 30 years not named James Kirk. Will Decker and Spock also served as the first ship's official Captain during the Refit Era but I guess it makes Kirk's career sound even longer and more historic if he was the only Enterprise Captain between 2263 and 2293.
Maybe we now finally have the secret canonical meaning behind all the "NCC" registry prefixes! Hmmm....Never Canonically Consistent

Nope - For decades (centuries, really), we've seen government entities change stupid shit simply for no other reason than for the sake of change - random motion being implemented under the dubious (dare I say specious) pretense of "progress", wasting billions in taxpayer (insert your favorite currency here).
In the Federation/Starfleet, we now have a government entity that has finally learned a very long-sought lesson, "If it ain't broke, don't fuckin' fix it!!
Yeah, I can't get on board with that. Spread the knowledge and experience, don't confine it to one. This isn't some dubious or specious idea; this is a simple idea that Kirk's experiences could benefit teaching other commanders, same with Spock, with Scotty, etc.
For those brass who dislike Kirk, keep his crew together, to avoid influencing other crews negatively?
