Spoilers ST Strange New Worlds - Starships and Technology Season Two Discussion

[Mark_Nguyen]

The teaser trailer for Season 2 has been released, giving us a proper glimpse at the season's look and feel beyond a corridor scene and another teaser showing the crew being flipped around by horrible gravity anomalies.

- The huge virtual crew lounge is being seen again, after we were told it was a bear to shoot in!

- Another wrecked Constitution class ship? Or a Sombra, I guess?

- The return of the cool DSC away outfits?

- Klingons looking nice again - but still technically out of sync with TOS?!

- The SNW D-7?!

- Starbase 1 being seen from even weirder angles!

- Revolving doors confounding Starfleet crew just as they will in "The Royale"! But as a Canadian, I’m glad that it’s a Roots store that Kirk is trapped in. We’re sorry.

Oops, it's meant to be season TWO in the title. Mods please change?

[Unicron]

Fixed.

They made a new lounge, so it might be that one, not the old one.

 

[DEWLine]

Can we get specs for Starbase 1 as shown thus far?

"Besides being from Space, isn't Kirk from Iowa"?

There should've been Revolving Doors somewhere on Earth, even when he was a kid.

No, the shot with M’Benga and Ortegas is in the original, the new one is smaller and has no windows so cheaper to shoot. The shot with Una, Uhura and La'an drinking before it might be the new one.

Seems like they still haven't fixed the sleeve stripes.

 

[Janewaysson]

The crashing saucer giving me Star Trek Beyond vibes

To paraphrase @Mike McDevitt , what's with the transporter console in the trailer? It seems to have gone Barbarella.

[Mike McDevitt]

My check of the alternate future seen in ‘A Quality of Mercy’ shows the piano-like ribbed console at 23:10 and 29:53, and I think during Una’s arrest back in the “real” timeline, too. Maybe it’s always been like that and I just got too excited at the sight of Cali-class invaders from the second dimension!

Why?

 

[KamenRiderBlade]

Why?

Many stores that I've seen have them IRL.

Some should still have them in the future, just a futurized version of the same thing.

I doubt it. The only place I've seen it in is one overpriced hotel.

I would not expect Kirk to be familiar with all tech.

I see them in basic department stores & malls.
In Taiwan, it's more common to see those in department stores.

I wouldn't expect him to be familiar with all tech either, but a basic thing such as a "Revolving Door" isn't complicated.

So not all areas have them. Kirk being raised in Iowa means nothing in this regard. There's no reason he should encounter this tech.

And? I know what a hammer and nail is but until three years ago I couldn't use it well. People stumble with unfamiliar tech, especially if they don't use it day to day.

Really, until 3 years ago?

Have you never had to hammer a nail in your entire life before then?

No, not really. A drill or screw driver maybe.

I hope we see some TOS-ized Discovery era designs.

I hope we see some TOS-ized Discovery era designs.

On a similar note, I recently learned a fan artist on this very board has done a TOS-ized interpretation of the Crossfield-class.

Alright, here is my new and improved Crossfield concept. This time I wanted to be more faithful to the overall shape from the show than my first concept. I'm still on the fence with adding the third impulse engine. Though if anything I think would look better with a single engine on the saucer as opposed to 2 at the back of the engineering hull...
