    Two posts, but three days ago, so most poeple who read this thread regularly probably didn't have that post in mind at all.

    Fair enough. Failed joke is failed.

    The ship models look great in the posters. The Titan looks amazing!

    Yeah, I would love a full Titan animated series. Although, it seems like at least part of S2 of Lower Decks might be close to a Titan series if we get to see some of their missions.

    I am still not sure... Are these some of the Titan novel series characters?

    I don't know about these. They are getting to a point where the detailing and realism of the ship models doesn't match the minimalism and cartoonishness of the character designs. If that's how the models actually look in the show now, I'm not sure if I like them as much as I did before.

    TrekCentral deleted the tweet, I wonder if those posters weren't meant to go out yet

    They seem to be rendered differently in the season 2 trailers compared to season 1, but not at that level of detail.

    The ships in the posters were probably rendered by marketing, not the show team.

    They're not. At least, I don't think so.

    No, they are not. In the novels, the XO was Christine Vale, a blonde female human. The Chief Engineer was Xin Ra-Havreii, an Efrosian. The Security Officer was Ranul Keru, a Thrill. So the characters don't see to match the poster at all.

    Honestly, the model work on the ships is completely different than the characters that I would be highly surprised if the same models were used in the show.

    It seems the shoulder parts of the LD uniforms are not black, but as gray as the FC uniforms

    Perhaps a real-life version would also have the ribbed texture...

    Good catch! Considering the stylized nature of the artwork, I tend to ignore things like that, but that is an interesting find. Now I have to wonder if the LD gray areas are also quilted like their FC/DS9 contemporaries, considering we know they have them but they just chose to leave out that small detail.

    That's what I meant when I wrote 'ribbed' XD
    I checked some S1 screenshots though, and there they look different, with the LD shoulders being darker.

    it was probably an optical illusion. The bright colours next tot the dark shoulders making it seem darker than it is.

    Yeah, the Lower Decks unis are clearly meant to evoke the Next Gen ones. Plus they look black on all the licensed merch I've seen.
