PIC S3 Ships & Tech

BTW, I figure that a number of shipyards have Starfleet contracts. In case of invasion (such as during the Four Years War), so if one system falls you can still build ships

Only if you have the personnel to support those outputs. Loss of facilities is one thing, but loss of trained personnel requires more time, and energy to train them up, move them to the location, and prepare to increase output.

Doable? Of course, but time intensive.

I reviewed material about the exo-comps. Being deemed sentient, the exo-comps were officially recognized as people. So one couldn't simply equip a ship with these, you would have to sign them on as crew members.

Recalled another version of the Cylon problem....

USS ProtoStar had dumbed down Exo-Comps.

So they seemed to have found a way around them becoming sentient.

Indeed, we’ve seen an Exocomp serving in Starfleet after all.

I don’t remember this, but we know Starfleet has had service bots sonde at least the 23rd century. After all it’s all about how their processing unit is made.

We also know they employed potentially sentient holograms as slaves for a while, so they’re not immune to big blunders either.

It is interesting that the apparent prototype of the Jein class is the U.S.S. Gregory Jein. Has that naming difference ever happened before?

Relatedly, what could have prompted the style change from the Magee-class U.S.S. Shran in 2256 to the Reliant-class U.S.S. Thy'lek Shran in 2401?

And as a non-canonical example, the Typhon Pact novel Rough Beasts of Empire had an Akira-class U.S.S. James T. Kirk active in 2381 while by contrast, Star Trek Online has the Exeter-class U.S.S. Kirk active in 2409.

Possibly several people with the name Shran and Kirk that served in Starfleet.

Like Captain Thy'kir Shran of the USS Sebrova, 2256.

The Jein class is a mere 381m long - compared to the other new-for-Picard designs which measure a good 550-600m or longer, this is a mini-me for the era. Analogous to the Intrepid in volume, but with an Enterprise-E design motif. A Pocket Sovereign, if you will.

There’s what seems to be a clear delineation between hulls for separation purposes too. And the impulse drives jut from the secondary hull? Plus, what’s the point of the cutouts on the aft saucer? Airlocks? Sideways shuttepod bays? Absent escape craft? Mood lighting?

I'll never get used to the Discodorians

I'll never get used to the Discodorians

I am sooo keen on this version of the Andorians becoming a playable species in STO.

 

[Enterprise1701]

Speaking of, it seems the Constitution-III-class is arriving in Star Trek Online.

It'll probably be one of those lock box things. I highly doubt it will be available for purchase via conventional means.

Maybe it will appear on the exchange for a metric ass-ton of EC's like the World Razer.

Some people interpreted the Star Trek Encyclopedia as saying the prototype for the New Orleans-class was the U.S.S. City of New Orleans, but the Okudas were just making an out-of-universe joke reference to a folk song about a train.

The separation line could be that dark band just behind the leading edge of the nacelle pylons. Either way, on the Sovereign, Eaves had the engineering hull's impulse engines hidden under the saucer when the ship was combined, so the extra separation impulse engines could be similarly tucked away, and also had a forward shuttlebay that, when the ship was combined, was just the hangar and maintenance bay for the saucer shuttlebay. The lateral bay doors for the forward engineering hull shuttlebay do seem similar to the features on the Jein, suggesting it is a midships shuttlebay.

Ahahaha! Now that is funny.

I remember when Beyond came out and we saw the USS Franklin - a cool design - and many folks thought it was a tribute to Benjamin Franklin (the obvious guess, to be fair), when it was really the father of director Justin Lin, Frank Lin.

People will see what they want to see.

In a way, I kind of liked that the ship wasn't named after Benjamin Franklin. The real-world reason aside, I like to think the ship was named after Aretha Franklin.

 

[Dukhat]

Well, in-universe it could very well have been named after Benjamin Franklin.

 

[137th Gebirg]

^^^ Good point.

lol, right! The hero ship of one of my fanfics is the USS Coltrane, by the way…
