    Why does Starfleet need so many different ship classes?

    I don't remember any of the figures off the top of my head but I think there's a pretty big differences in the sizes of the two ships, so a refit doesn't really make sense based on that.

    What ships SHOULD they have used in the Dominion War?

    Yeah, my bad. So, besides the three First Contact models, the Excelsior, Miranda, Galaxy, Nebula, and Defiant classes, there were no other models they could've used? I thought an Oberth appeared in the battle of Sector 001. I know it was at least as old as the Miranda class, but it still...

    Why does Starfleet need so many different ship classes?

    I have a similar problem with the Obena class and variants like that. There is a distinction between refits and new classes, though. To me, the Sutherland class and Ross class are refits, as is the Reliant class. I see no problem with this in canon. The ship can be a new ship, but it's still a...

    Nacelle Question

    I agree that within ship families nacelles should be modular. It makes sense that any Excelsior style ship can use Excelsior style nacelles. But what about similar designs from the same era? I know there are massive scaling errors with the Curry type starship from the DS9 Frankenstein fleet, but...

    Nacelle Question

    Yeah that particular model never made sense to me because the second pair of nacelles was so small, but maybe they only aid in keeping the field stable or something; I have no idea. In my concept for the Nordenskjold class, this middle nacelle is used to lessen load on the two original nacelles...

    Nacelle Question

    Tried searching for a thread and didn't really find anything relevant but I had an idea. Let's say a ship, in this case I'm going with the Galaxy X dreadnought from TNG, is refit with two different types of nacelles. For example, the ship has galaxy style nacelles on the right and left pylons...

    What ships SHOULD they have used in the Dominion War?

    IMO a generic Federation fleet should've consisted of more of the Wolf 359 kitbashes. I know lost of people hate especially the Challenger and Freedom classes, but I like both of them, especially the Freedom. A few ships with newer components would've rounded out the fleet nicely, and the New...

    Dr. Boyce question

    Hopefully Boyce ends up being CMO of some station or starbase they visit in Season 2

    Is a navigational deflector necessary for warp drive?

    I agree, they do seem to evolve over the course of time in the show. I like the idea of a deflector like the Olympic class, where it is just a strip on the bottom of the primary hull, rather than some huge dish, however to me that seems like a new thing as of the 2350s or 2360s, especially...

    Why does Starfleet need so many different ship classes?

    The argument can be made that most of the kitbashes made for Wolf 359 were at least developed in tandem, if not modular due to the fact that many have the same nacelles and similar saucers (Cheyenne and Springfield, Galaxy and Challenger).

    Spoilers The Ships of Lower Decks

    Not just state's better known metropoles, but in the country as well, they are definitely in the top 50 biggest cities. Doesn't make sense when considering the naming idea of the class, but nonetheless I think they make good names for ships.

    Is a navigational deflector necessary for warp drive?

    At this point in Star Trek I think it has been demonstrated that in order to survive (at least in deep space or when running into almost any anomaly seen in any show) or go to warp, a deflector is needed. While some ships have no visible dish on screen, there are ways to explain this. The...

    Spoilers The Ships of Lower Decks

    I have no idea if anyone already addressed this but I had some ideas I wanted to write down just to keep track of them and see what other people thought. I love Lower Decks and although I understand why some fans are reluctant to call it canon, I view (most) of it as canon and one of the most...
