I haven't watched any of the animated, so: Andor S1 Mandalorian/Book of Boba Fett Andor S2 Obi-Wan Kenobi The Acolyte Ahsoka For me The Acolyte is poorly written, and the witch stuff is a little much, but at least its well done. Ahsoka is just painful for me to watch; I don't know whether the...

I view the Federation like NATO or the UN peacekeepers in that individual member planets still have their own local governments in a way, and that UESPA is just Earth's local space command, so they could have supervised the Enterprise project or such. Perhaps the end of (cold and hot) war with...

Would it really be practical to dedicate each ship for a specific purpose? I would think that ships like the Enterprise exist to deliver a specific set of capabilities, and could be used to provide those capabilities for specific missions, but I can't think of any reason that she shouldn't...

For a while after the invention of the warp drive, ships could "only" travel at the speed of light or slightly above (not above warp 5), meaning that it could take generations to reach other stars.

Yeah but its not like everybody's off galivanting around the galaxy the day the warp drive is invented. The majority of human activity is in the Sol system even in the ENT era.

I wish we would see more of the era before warp drive was common.

It makes sense that in the window between space travel becoming popularly viable and the development of warp drive that people would do that. Especially the cult-y types that end up forming strange societies for the Enterprise to run into ...

I mean the specific design with the ring. Like a class, I guess. Something to search for for more info.

Is there a name for the ring one?

The tons of apparently human "aliens" on all these planets they run in to are actually humans from generation ships (or suchlike) who haven't been caught up on the "modern" era.

I'm a younger Trek fan by your definition and I voted TOS era but I guess I'm atypical :shrug:

I may be crazy, but I always think of DS9 as lighter and funnier than the other series. It almost feels like it doesn't take itself too seriously. (Quark/Odo is my favorite dynamic.)

I'm very careful about that; I see headcanon like the interpretations of QM: it doesn't contradict anything directly shown but interprets what is shown. I'm happy to contradict what the showrunners say, though, as long as it isn't shown on screen (that's not canon!).

I voted for the 66-86 era, because of TOS, obviously, but I group together all of Roddenberry and his direct successors (there's a "direct lineage" of sorts from Roddenberry even all the way to Manny Coto), and then the reboot era (i.e., 2009 to present).

A is for Angel One B is for By Any Other Name C is for the Conscience of the King D is for Darmok E is for Excalibur F is for For the World is Hollow and I have Touched the Sky G is for Giant Ferengi Codpieces

The key is that by TOS era they don't need animated displays, as the computer is doing most stuff. All they need to worry about is high-level control.

I think ENT is the closest representation of near-future space travel. Look at the ISS: it has the same visual aesthetic and isn't sleek. It's practical. By TOS technology has gotten practical enough everything is clean and smooth, and by TNG controlling the ship is handled well enough they...

Sorry if someone has asked this before, but what did they base the bridge of the XCV-330 on? I wasn't aware of any source material beyond exterior sketches.
