Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x01 – “Kids These Days”

[Fateor]

That's why we created the Exo-Comps.

Send them into those Tight Spaces.

So far we haven't seen an Exo-Comp in engineering yellow.

By the way, did anyone else notice that the Torothan prisoner shuttle set was a redress of the Starfleet shuttle interior?

Yup, it was kind of obvious, same with the cadet bedroom being a redress of the Strange New Worlds quarters.

Definitely noticed the quarters set redress and the 32c shuttle set redresses for multiple ships in the episode.

I will say tho that I do like the changes they made to the 32c shuttle for the Athena as I thought the interior design from DIS was a bit too sterile or 'executive' feeling as opposed to functional.

Are you guys sure? Because I don’t see the similarity. Not with Pike’s quarters, not with Spock’s and not with the generic “Training quarters”. In fact, the angle on the outer ship wall is the exact opposite, not to mention the windows looking completely different. And really, everything else.

And really, it wouldn’t make much sense to use the standing sets of another show that was still being filmed then for a set you’ll likely see pretty often on Starfleet Academy.

And what was the other ship that reused the shuttle set?

 

[Tuskin38]

Maybe they share the same set designer.

 

[Michael]

^ They don’t. Matthew Davies designed the sets for Starfleet Academy, while Jonathan Lee created the ones for Strange New Worlds. But yeah, I’m sure there’s overlap in their production teams. And obviously it’s a very similar design language.

But the same sets, only redressed? I think not.

I see what you mean there. It may just be the similarity in design styles and the use of strip lighting in both sets that makes them look very similar. Also, based on the shape of the window in the cadet dorms, it looks like they're located on the inner upward rim of the outer saucer ring, since I don't see anywhere else on the Athena that the windows are shaped like that.

As for the shuttle redress I simply meant 'multiple' as in 'more than one.' Including DIS, the 32c shuttle set has been seen in 3 designs: 1 in DIS and 2 in SFA.

But they were already experimenting with simpler versions of Exo-Comps that they renamed and have do various things.

The Photonic Ship Scrubber is one of them that was used on the Protostar.
