Spoilers Prodigy ship revealed

then you get in to with transparent screens, the abiltiy to NOT read the words, it would be like putting text on a colorful picture, you could read some text, but other text would be washed out be the same color background, would need an opague feature to read and do work on it without the eyestrain of the background interfering.

In the 24th century? Impossible...
 
But they're only just slightly raised off the console and are completely opaque. I'm talking about the awful ones used on Picard and every sci-fi movie where the actors just wave their hands around in the air and then some glitchy transparent graphics are pasted over it. Interfaces like that would be unpleasant to use and are a step back from holographic technology already established.
I use Picard-style controls on my Valve index VR. They work just fine IRL.
 
Also those scale-confusing fake windows on the Protostar really bother me. Modern Trek: Fuck you for ever caring about the size of pretend spaceships!
 
I would love it if those window/not-window lights on the outside actually end up being tiny windows on the inside of the ship. Like a foot by half foot small, preferably in a large room or hallway.
 
I often wondered what became of those ships in the Admiral Janeway timeline, where it took Voyager another 16 years to get home. Voyager would've crossed the Delta-Beta Quadrant border around 2378/2379, presumably.

The Protostar appears a bit wee to be dedicated to a yearslong, deep space mission.

Here is my guess…remember the two-ship scheme the Romulans used to get to Tin Man? Protostar is the fast ship…sacrifice everything to get the latest tech to be cannibalized.

I picture the second ship as the polar opposite. Not quite a slow boat mind you. Imagine a Reliant version of Stargazer with secondary hulls atop and beneath, sprouting warp nacelles pairs. Not just for speed but endurance, spare parts. Automated, it used a staged warp to help push the Protostar upper warp stage, burning out nacelles that are discarded like SRBs.

Also automated, this thing is nothing but stasis pods and supplies. All redundancy. Voyagers crew transfers to this ship that was made for the long haul…or it burns itself out pushing Voyager back and itself is discarded somehow,,, maybe with exotic Omega fuel so as to…once Voyager is free and clear…to drift back towards Borg space and detonate, blocking FTL travel towards the Federation.

That second ship alone could provide the new crew of the Protostar with quite an adventure, and introduce warp staging we haven’t seen since The Time Trap from TAS.

I think one Sabrejet pushed another that had flamed out in an attempt to save its pilot…so it isn’t unheard of.

I like the opaque Blue LCARS, it's only floating a few inches off the terminal.

The JJ-Verse Warp Nacelles is honstely the only issue I have with the vessel, swap that nacelle out and it's fine.

The Shingled Armor hull definitely reminds me of Ablative Hull Armor.

Maybe this vessel can repair it's own hull mid battle?
