Spoilers 31st/32nd Century Ships Revealed
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
I love how it looks like a Kelvin saucer with Soyuz pods and nacelles.Technically not a 31st century ship, but we've got a clear render of one of the scrap yard Federation ships from Season 3.

This is where it appeared in DSC
Thanks, I hadn't noticed but I see it now.
I forgot this design existed until looking through EAS’s list of 32nd century ships
The NSS T’Pau
It looks like a deformed version of the USS Arges, a non-canon ship: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/mDOkVd

After 900 years the ships shouldn't look like updated versions of the ones we know. They should be completely bonkers.
But I know, marketing etc etc. Just give me a ship whose bridge is a clearing in a forest where they fly the thing with iPads.

While I’d like that, I figure they already tried it a few centuries ago with the Universe-class and eventually decided, nah, that was a little much.
You´re right, but it still looks a deformed version of a previous ship. The Suurok is cool, but the NSS T’Pau looks like a result of a laziness engineer. A poor design as almost all the ships in Disco.
This.
The ships were badly lit to be fair... one could hardly make them out.
Its possible part of the reason for this is because they had to make them quick and dirty... so too elaborate lighting could expose... imperfections in the meshes (we do this in 3D all the time).
That said... pushing the show 900 years in to the future was a bad decision. The designs being based from nearly 900 year old ones is incredulous in itself. The show should have taken place in the 26th century for credibility aspect if that future pod from the 26th century we saw in TNG was any indication (design aspects and tech we saw in the 31st century seem far more fitting for this era).
Mind you there are 'some' 31st century desig elements from Disco S3 and 4 that look... ok... but for the most part... they just don't look that futuristic or advanced to me... but that's probably because the showrunners decided that things would largely remain the same/static (which of course ruined it for me along withe the ridiculous premise of the Burn - its also one of the reasons I keep hoping that future is ERASED from canon permanently, or AT LEAST that its NOT part of the Prime Timeline, but an alternate future).
The USS Relativity from VOY had more appeal to it - I wonder if the designers ever drew from that little tidbit).

Where did I say that we should worship them? All I said is don't be insulting by calling it lazy.
It's the USS Antares, and I'm not sure how new it is. It looks to be a kitbash of a Friendship class and something else, in a smaller scale.
My thought exactly.
