I think SNW should end right after Kirk takes command. We already saw those stories. I would watch the remade episodes if they aired them, but it is not my preference.
I would think that ships at the frontier would be assigned to whatever was the starbase that was closest to the area, and they launch from there for missions into unexplored space and return to that station periodically for resupply, maintenance, crew rotations, etc.
I thought years back that...
Added the interior model with the latest 4 engine version of the starship Moonlight. The blue lit structures are the deflector strips that cover the hull instead of a single dish at the bow.
The Navy inspired oned would be better.
DRD Dreadnought
HCR Heavy Cruiser
LCR Light Cruiser
DES Destroyer
FRG Frigate
CRV Corvette
Something like that. I use it in a non-Trek universe I created.
Redesign for the Kzinti ship. Color change, replace tri nacelle with 2, removed weapon "poles", new engines, enlaged nacelles, reshaped the main body of the hull, added topside structures, etc.
Made a Kzinti ship. Never been a fan of these Kzinti ships designs. But I thought I would give it a go. Added some weapons on the "poles" from the Black Hawk model, recolored appropriately.
I usually dont make alot of in universe sense of them beyond what I said above. That the others had very short production runs. Maybe they stopped production on the Cheyennes after 6 or 8 and thats all that was built. Same on several other classes. Only a few were ever built of them, so not many...
I think it's both. There are more than just the 8 classes and ships of other classes were there AND they used all 8 of those classes. There were lots of Miranda's and there were more Cheyennes, Norways, more than one Defiant class, etc. Older, reliable, proven designs that are upgradeable are a...
No, it's the same set. Not just "pieces". They redressed the 1701 Enterprise/Reliant bridge set to become the Battle Bridge and then to look like the Lantree. Later, it had to be redone as the 1701-A bridge. Which was done. It's not new sets. They redress the existing ones. It's not cheaper to...
Some Mirandas can be new(er) builds while others are older and then retrofitted with later upgrades, including during refits. The real world examples are important because we see exactly that. They wanted to upgrade the F-16 radar to have capabilities like the F-22 and F-35. So a radar was...
You were wrong in universe AND out. That is the same set. Enterprise and Reliant bridge was made into the battle bridge which became the Lantree bridge. It might seem like a smaller space, but it is not different set.
It had to be changed back from looking 24th century with LCARS to looking...
ARPY is wrong BOTH WAYS on this. Both in universe AND in real life. LOL.
IIRC the TOS movie Enterprise bridge was redressed as the ENT-D battle bridge and the ENT-D battle bridge was then further redressed to be the Lantree bridge set. So no they didnt "rebuild" a set from the TOS movie. They...
Engine upgrades are also done, while keeping the same shape in older aircraft, ships and land vehicles as well. Dramatic improvements in performance. Looks very much the same. This is just not understanding engineering in the real world in any way at all. Not even a little. This "shape is same...
Shape doesnt prevent upgrades, including very significant upgrades. That was the point I was making. Not that the shape of an airframe is not improvable, or part of how you can upgrade from previous models. But the F-35 itself will be upgraded many, many times in dozens of ways over the next 50...
No. Engineers do exactly what you think they cant, and they do it every single day. The F-16 is very much the same shape but has received dozens of upgrades since the 70s. Nothing about the shape is relevant to this. Miranda can have the same shape but be fitted with superior sensors, more...
There is a reason engineers get paid the big bucks. They solve these exact sort of problems every single day. Fitting the LCARS in a ship designed in the duotronic age is exactly what engineers face everyday today in upgrading old airframes, chassis and ship hulls with new computers, sensors...
What does this have to do with "Art pieces"? In the real world we know that what you are saying just isnt true. You can substantially upgrade capability with the same airframe, or the same chassis or the same ship hull. Weapons upgrades, sensor upgrades, avionics upgrades, computer upgrades...
