Sirena is still the hero ship of Season 1.
No, thank you. It's an artificial limitation to stories.

I am just saying I did not like La Sirena.
Emphatic nope.
In fact, I'd argue that, as a pretense, that runs completely contrary to the core ideals of Star Trek.
Every Trek show has had Starfleet characters as the protagonist. TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, DISCO all have starfleet characters as a protagonist. So I guess all those shows ran completely contrary to the core of ideals of Star Trek. Also, do I need to remind that Starfleet is the embodiment of the core ideals of Star Trek?
I loathe the La Sirena.
Still the hero ship.
Agreed. I think that STarfleet is a great part of Star Trek, and that having them a part of a show is great, but I would love more perspectives. Rios and crew were a breath of fresh air.
.
Get ready for this: I agree with you.
One of the things that drew me to PIC was that it wasn't about Starfleet personnel but Ex-Starfleet and Non-Starfleet.
Obviously PIC has moved back to Starfleet, and I'm okay with the change. But given a choice, I prefer what they had before.
How many SF shows have we had now?
Rios and Co. were a refreshing change (that said, I'm happy for Seven getting her shot in Starfleet
).
And it would be nice to continue such diversity.
That's not what I said or even implied. Quit the bullshit.
Except that it isn't. See: the countless plots that revolve around Starfleet NOT adhering to the core principles of Star Trek, and the intrepid heroes must right the wrong and save the day.
Yup. It's impossible to present either infinite diversity or infinite combination when one limits themself* to a singular perspective -- especially if said perspective is an Anglo-American imperialist paramilitary.
*BTW I'm a little annoyed that Grammarly still knicks 'themself'. It's 2022 FFS.
See Picard S1 (Picard: "This isn't STARFLEET!")
They do realise that. But most Star Trek fans consider themselves Star Trek writers and have this vision of what a reunions should/must/has to be like. And they'll all be wrong. Meaning, in their definition, the people writing the actual show are horrible people that have created something that does not live up to their expectations and wishes.
It's about taking a breath and not having any expectations. Just let it happen. And then decide whether or not you like. And it's fine to dislike it, absolutely. They should just dislike it for what it is, not because it's not what they wrote in their head.
How can you compete with someone's head canon?
How do you mean?
The writers and producers can't see inside your head. There's no sense in getting angry if the show doesn't match your head canon.
Exactly this!
I think we have a miss conception about the phaser strips and TMP era phaser that Titan A has in here. The so called Phaser Strips is basically a Phaser weapon that arranged with an array / strips formation. While the one that you call TMP era phaser is a beam weapon that docked on a turret / a cannon / a phaser ball that arranged with a more fixed location.They're right there. Why it has both strips and TMP era phasers? Idk
Man the youtube quality is shit.
The Array formation is definitely more advanced as a concept than a turret. But they are not the weapon itself. You can see them as our today missile rack tech that put into modern era warship. The missile mount and VLS. So yes, VLS is definitely a more advanced concept and tech than the missile mount / rack. But they are just the platform to carry missiles, not the missiles themselves.
Using that example, then both Array formation and Turret are also the platform that used to carry the beam weapon. They're not the weapon itself. The Phaser Array is a platform that can cover 360 degree LOF and maybe capable of mounting a larger type of Beam weapon. While the TMP model turret may just capable of taking a smaller type of beam weapon and more limited LOF.
The question here should be not why Titan A has an outdated phaser weapon (TMP era phaser). But why it has 2 type of beam weapons. Maybe one of these weapons are a more advanced weapon that was not existed in TNG era. While the other is a traditional phaser weapon that is already exist in the Enterprise D & E era.
Or perhaps, all those beam weapons are just the traditional phaser that we have see so far in Star Trek TNG era. But mounted on 2 different kind of platform. As the Array platform is definitely need bigger energy than the TMP era mount.

Indeed, and it's frustrating because of the lack of flexibility, and the anger directed at the production team. People talk about fracturing in the fan base of different shows, but good grief I see a genuine feeling of hostility directed towards the production team. Flexibility is key when it comes to fictional universes.
