Got some more! C9 / Accuser (Bottom right, compared to other ships) (This one I built over the ingame model to give it some texture and life) My Take: Klingon super heavy warship development continued unabated across the hostile decades of the 2270s and 90s. Learning nothing from the colossal...

Wait, missed one! My take: The Northampton class frigates were designed in competition against the Chanley for a vessel made to the needs of the Starfleet Marines. Unlike the Chandley, the Northampton was the first to feature a variable pylon array which could switch the engine modes between...

Thread revival! So a bit of an announcement, I suppose. Encouraged by the free to read work of Edge of Midnight and the Wolf 359 project seemingly go on without concern for legality as free releases... I am moving forward to push the game for a free web release. If it does become an actual...

Yeah something's been lost about the uniqueness of the BoP ever since BoT aired. I just understood that these BoPs were the only ships in the Romulan fleet that could cloak. Trek makes enemy ships cloak at the drop of a hat, but i sincerely hope this Romulan fleet cannot cloak. It's nicer to...

My wife and I keep hashing out our thoughts on this episode and how it compares with Balance of Terror. We also keep talking about ways Kirk could have been better played in this episode- if he would even be there at all. It felt to me like the showrunners were trying to do too many things in...

Did anyone get decent shots of the Romulan fleet? Seems like there's some new battlecruiser, the flagship, and non cloaking birds of prey.

I felt he gave us the facts of Kirk, but he didn't sell us on the spirit. Not yet. At this point I wouldn't ask the SNW cast to give us convincing replicas of TOS characterizations. Like the Kelvin universe I feel SNW is a retread, not recreation, of TOS. I feel that Peck lacks the inner world...

Just finished it! It might be just me, but these last two eps don't feel as smoothly put together as the rest of the season. There are great moments but the whole suffers from some awkward placements. One example is the Romulan commanders farewell. It comes naturally at the end of BoT but it...

This seems to be the prevailing theory, I'd be disappointed a bit if it's true. I love TOS but it feels like a missed opportunity to shackle so much to those old episodes. An unambiguous message that SNW isn't beholden to past canon would do so much for the show.

I might be alone in this opinion, but if Pike and crew are experiencing balance of terror ten years earlier this tells us TOS isn't the future and all kinds of stuff are on the table; + the spock/t'pring/chapel triangle doesn't have to end in Amok time. + La'an might meet and judge her ancestor...

I'm just happy to revisit the TOS era in any way shape or form after decades of Trek building on TNG. As long as they have the broad strokes right, I'm happy. Specific to the Romulans, Romulan subterfuge in ENT S4 is how I would like to see the Romulans feature in SNW. While we can be told the...

One of the reasons I like the 23rd century over the 24th is that the TOS era seems more relatable to the modern day. In that way I never imagined the TOS era was one without poverty and greed- That's a 24th century thing.

My wonder is would pike have destroyed the machine and doomed the Majalan high civilization to destruction. Even though the child was lost, no more children would be fed to the machine. I think Kirk would have gone to that degree, based on examples like Armageddon and Archons. He can't abide a...

I gave it a 8. SNW has hit this odd plateau in terms of episode quality, having established so many good episodes that this one doesn't stand out in terms of quality. like many I'm left unsettled by the conclusion, though I think its interesting also. Compare this with TOS "A taste of...

We got seven seasons and more of the TNG crew. Surely there's enough space for more screen time of the TOS crew.

Yay! Born right as TNG started, but turned off to it, I've craved a return to the wild adventurism of TOS that Trek lost sometime in the berman era. Perhaps in trying to be too serious? SNW is the first time I've been eager for a show and want to immediately own it. The only reason I'm fearful...

I think it was from the deck plans, actually. I remember one cross-section image of the ship that didn't appear in the technical manual.

Wonder if that opening in the front of the saucer is supposed to be, shuttlebay or deflector?

I just hope whatever handwave the show does to keep the canon purists happy isn't as awkward as the lines dropped around S2 about the Klingons and why they were different. I say bring on the Gorn. They're the last of the major TOS races that haven't had the show spotlight after fifty years. I...

I was born right before TNG came to the air, and ever since then I've always wanted a more direct TOS sequel in the way DS9/VOY was to TNG. SNW is that show. I gave it the highest rating (1, or 10). I'm really not surprised to see fans quibbling over all the minor details here. I noted them as...
