Poll Should The Constitution Class Starships be Redesigned For STD?

[Gojira]

I don't want to see a ship from the 60s in this show, it doesn't fit with the design aesthetics. So I say redesign it but make sure it is recognizable as a Constitution Class Starship.

Oh hell no. STOP MESSING WITH CANON, MOOVES!

Replace "clown" with "ship."

Let's not kid ourselves. We're not going to see the Constitution class like how it looked in TOS. So if we did see one, do not expect it to look like that.

Right.

But honestly I don't think we're going to see one at all.

Perhaps not as right.

Throw in the ST09 Enterprise and make it official that this is the Kelvin universe.

Except it isn't, so no.

 

[Gojira]

Nah, it'll match all the other JJ Trek designs already in the show. Throw in the ST09 Enterprise and make it official that this is the Kelvin universe.

I like the way you think! I agree 100%!

I actually love the idea of making this a Kelvin-verse prequel.

If they were really bold, in a future season, they could have audiences see what the actual Prime version of the Klingon war would have looked like. See the prime versions of these characters in the Cage uniforms with TOS tech.

Or perhaps have a character crossover between the universes.

Shame Star Trek Beyond bombed at the box office. If it did well, I guarantee they would want to market this show as the same universe as the JJ films.

Right.

Perhaps not as right.

I'm not ruling it out totally, but unless there's a specific reason why they'd need to show one, I would think they wouldn't want to overshadow their own titular ship by showing another ship that has nothing to do with the story they're trying to tell.

How about refit Constitution class ships? The Enterprise can't be the first and only one to get the upgrade treatment, and its a perfectly acceptable timeless design, passable for advanced by today's standards.

It's heavily implied that the Enterprise is the first of her kind in TMP, with all the talk of redesigning and untested, glitchy systems that next to no one in Starfleet was trained to use. If they'd been churning out that style of ship for fifteen years, all the brand new ship talk doesn't make sense.

 

[Mudd]

Redesign the sucker.

If it did well, I guarantee they would want to market this show as the same universe as the JJ films.

Depends on what kind of exclusivity agreement Paramount has, CBS might not be allowed to make TV shows set in the movie timeline.
