Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

It fits into the hull of the 1450 foot-long ship perfectly, as it was designed to do. Try to keep up

And now you're just gaslighting me you blacked it out after I pointed it out.

I don't understand why they would design a virtual set that needs a scale cheat at all -- it's CGI, if production wants it to fit, just scale it down!

I'm not an expert on the tech (all I know is it works like those old 3d head tracking gimmiks for flight sims only tied to the movements of a professional film camera and on a much larger scale covering the walls cielings and maybe the floor) but from the laymans perspective I can imagine two possibilities...
A) maybe it doesn't handle smaller spaces well, perhaps the effect becomes more noticeable when the wall its showing isn't in the distance
B) the smaller room didn't look impressive enough for the tone they had previously set with discovery, and so rule of cool prevailed. Which is perfectly fine there is plenty of precedent for trek series doing that just don't expect me to throw out continuity and replace an old wrong length figure that influenced a large body of work with a new still wrong length figure that causes headaches for previous works...

Your acceptance or rejection of what is seen on screen doesn't change that the 442m length is established on screen now.
 
Merci. Tbf though I also like continuity. So while I enjoy the Ferengi, I didn't like "Acquisition" in terms of needlessly violating continuity
They danced around continuity without violating it so much in that one, it could have been written by Gene Kelly.

Honestly was it even needed lol? They could've done first contact with the Trills or the Bolians instead without violating continuity
