PIC S3 Ships & Tech

Ok. You have to admit, from the brief look we got and the changes made, it's easy enough to confuse them.
That's actually great!
When a new ship arrives in canon, it becomes a Lock Box reward in STO. So you either get the real deal - or you use kitbashing to make a similar-looking ship. That has worked well with Inquiry- and California-class approximations, and it will allow players to fly a faux-Eleos before they get the official version.

Now we just need the NAR registry prefix in game. :cool:

Picard S3 cast photos show more detail on the new uniforms for the old crew:

Starfleet has finally gone full leather. I wonder what circumstance will pour our heroes into these tanned hides? Everyone on the Titan is keeping the uniforms introduced last season, though Riker seems to be wearing yet another uniform style at some point. At least we finally get a clear enough view that Geordi isn't wearing an apron like the earlier pictures suggested. And I like how the rank pips are arranged vertically this time, while also leaving room for better application of flag rank pins that don't curve off of the wearer's necks like the Admiral pins do. Perhaps these are all Captain's jackets like Picard and Kirk had at one time or another? I mean most of them ARE Captain rank or higher.

Edit: LaForge is wearing a cloth version of the leather jacket when he comms in from whatever ship he's on (probably that smaller starship whose nacelle explodes in the last trailer, but PLEASE could it be the Enterprise-F?). So maybe the leather duds are more like field jackets?

That's a really interesting post. One, I do like the standard duty uniforms and think it does blend elements that I like from TWOK and VOY quite well. Look forward to seeing more of them in action. But, the main character ones, especially Lore's and Geordi's, are an interesting variant, with the thinner division line below the shoulders. To your point, yes I think it might be a captain's variant, though but it's quite the variety to the main crew, and Riker's is different too.
 
We haven't had an NAR prefix since the Raven. I sense an Okuda or two at work here.

La Sirena's registry is supposed to be NAR-93131:

The instagram account startreklogs has biographical and ship data on Picard s3, much of which is probably referenced elsewhere, but some factoids new to me include:
-Dr. Crusher’s personal ship is S.S. Eleos.
-Tendara Colony was/is in Ondau Sector.
-Rios purchased the Kaplan F17 Speed Freighter, the non-Starfleet vessel registry number NAR-93131 S.S. La Sirena.
-The first of three Starfleet vessels called Titan was the Shangri-La class NCC-1777 launched in 2290 under Captain Saavik.
-The late Altan Soong’s research & Lore’s body are kept at Starfleet’s Daystrom Station (unclear if this is the same location as the Daystrom Institute.)
-Commodore Geordi La Forge was born in Mogadishu, Somalia.
-Captain Will Riker’s mom was named Betty.
 
Summary of all of this and more here:

Surprisingly, we’ve skipped right over the entire career of the Enterprise-F! She’s almost twenty years old and Starfleet thinks her day is over following an incident which critically damaged her, and they’re sunsetting her as part of a fleet celebration event of some kind. At least it dovetails nicely with the existence of the USS Verity of the same class from around the same time.

In the storytelling sense this is workable because I highly doubt the main franchise would let any sort of real spotlight fall on a STO ship following “Picard”. If any new Enterprise adventures are to happen after this season, it will be aboard a new E-G, it seems.

The 1701 lasted for 40 years. The CVN-65 lasted for 51 years. The D, E, and F together only lasted for 42. This feels really off to me.
 
It they wanted the enterprise to be old and near retirement I wonder why they didn’t just go with the E, which would also have meaning for Picard…

Yeah, this makes little sense to me. I mean, if they wanted a new Enterprise, they could have just ignored the STO version and come up with an original design for the Ent-F themselves. They are not beholden to what STO does.
