Spoilers 31st/32nd Century Ships Revealed

...I think the only one who ever did was Lorca, and he really spat it out with such no-this-is-not-sarcasm that the crew will probably forever remember him fondly for that alone.

But I also wonder who came up with D.A.S.H. since obviously it wasn't Stamets and even Tilly isn't that silly. Granted, we know little about this Straal guy - but I could well see Lorca himself formulating the acronym to while away a quiet Tuesday with sadistic fun.

I'm pretty sure it ceased to apply once Romulus was destroyed in 2387.

Romulus may have been destroyed, but the majority of Romulans and their space fleet were not.
But, we don't know how the destruction of Romulus may have affected the treaty, so it could have simply ceased to exist.
Bookers ship has a cloaking device.
And if the Romulans became allies at some point, they may have abolished the treaty of Algeron.
 
When was that ever stated?

We've seen a huge Tal'shiar fleet in Stat Trek Picard.
And they had a fairly sizeable operation on that Borg cube.

Its likely that some Romulans may be displaced like the ones we've seen in that monestary, and some who came to the Federation (the two who live on Picard's estate), but I strongly doubt that any major power would collapse with the main HQ or planet destroyed... surely they ALL must have some kind of contingency for this kind of a situation... albeit they seem to be frequently portrayed like they don't.

I wouldn’t call that fleet huge. Those ships looked like fighter planes. And the amount of Romulans on the cube was, what, .00001 percent of the total Romulan population?

Some 'fighter planes'... they were actual Warbirds that were quite sizeable the last time I checked, and the Tal'shiar had a sizeable amount of them.

Also, we didn't get any word that Romulan Star empire collapsed either, did we?

The planes were smaller than Oh’s ship, which was about 50 meters long. That’s a far cry from a 1,350 meter TNG Warbird.

Semantics. ‘No word’ that the empire collapsed doesn’t mean it didn’t.
 
...Whereas "yes word" on alternate means for the Romulans to govern themselves (ranging from warlords to a free state, both rather anarchist concepts) already heavily suggests that a centralized empire has indeed crumbled for good.

But the ability of a cult leader to summon a fleet of cutters and ferries and command it from aboard a corvette doesn't necessarily mean one or more of those "alternate states" wouldn't operate mighty fleets of capital ships, either. PIC hasn't written itself in any sort of a corner, and hopefully won't any time soon. Although even if it did, DSC could easily undo all of that in the 800 years allocated!

Getting back on topic, I wonder if that double-hulled ship in that 30th century ship pic is supposed to be Romulan?
 
The design lingo seems to have undergone more changes than English, alas. What would seem to be closely related to D'deridex is in fact an indigenous Earth design in "People of Earth", the sloping forehead and general verticality counting for nothing any longer.

No reason why the UEDF ships couldn't have Romulan origins. But direct connecting of design to nationality would appear difficult a millennium after the fact.

Actually, I was referring to the vaguely TNG Warbird-like ships in the photo at the beginning of this thread, not the EDF ships.
 
Yup. But I was bringing up the UEDF ships for the fact that their design language is "equally Romulan" yet doesn't mean squat.

It's fun that the kaboom fleet has such diversity of design. Perhaps Starfleet of the time is diverse like that. Perhaps those are Federation ships, as specified, and only the conservatively Enterprise-like ones are actually Starfleet. Perhaps there are foreign ships in that mix, despite the arrowhead symbols on Sahil's hologram. Options abound, and "Romulan" is among them. But it doesn't really convince at this stage.

Maybe they partially "Phase Cloaked" the pylons so that they appear to float but are really connected.

So if you shoot at the pylons, all shots would just pass through the pylons.

Of course! Brilliant!

I wonder if the Federation chose to phase-cloak the shit out of everything at this point because space had gotten a whole lot smaller and it reduced the likelihood of collisions?
