Yeah it doesn't make sense why they didn't resolve some of those issues with the naming schemes. They did rename the Refit to the Constitution II. I wonder how they'll handle the Intrepid-type and Freedom-class when they add them. Renaming Farragut to Bellerophon and Bellerophon to Bellerophon II should be easy enough.
As for Starfleet Academy, I remain baffled why they didn't use the 26th and 29th century Klingon designs over the 2410/2411 ones... I kinda get the M'Chala because it's a "what if the DIS Bird of Prey actually looked like a Klingon Ship" so since it's DIS-inspired I guess I can see why they'd use it in SFA.

Because they're temporal ships, and anything even remotely connected to temporal technology is banned.
Thankfully.
Only in STO's canon. They don't have to canonize that element. After all, they changed the Luna-class and its science pod to a warship with a tactical pod. They retconned the Odyssey back to 2386, made the Edison temporal warship a regular ship, made the Shangri La a 2390s design, etc. etc.
Agreed! I'd love to the see the Ouroboros-class as a pre-Burn "Starfleet bird-of-prey", or the Talvath-class as a Ni'Var ship.
okay...
The Med Lab from Episode 1 seems to be on Deck 12, the information board that Genesis uses says that Classroom 12A and 12B are offline, and Genesis says there's a Lab on this deck.
This is later indicated to be on the ground floor of the Atrium, which probably gives us a reasonable benchmark for how big Athena is if the ground floor of the Atrium does correspond to the window above the deflector.
The rim of the inner saucer seems to be three decks thick and includes Deck 8 judging by the screen behind Sam and Caleb when they talk about transmitting the signal - its also the deck that Main Engineering is on, it appears.
So the cadets are moving between 12 and 8 at minimum.

STO lore has nothing to do with the show.
Realistically Klingon ships wouldn't look that different from what they did hundreds of years ago.
The Klingons aren't the Federation after all, they aren't going to cripple their ships survivability to give them disconnected floaty bits.
Aren't any more vulnerable than if they were attached. In fact it makes them less vulnerable because there's no pylon to attack.
looks like some sort of render mistake, since none of the others seem to have it.
Why waste time and money when they can just use STO assets they already have? Granted these ships were not meant to be 32nd century Klingon ships in STO, but they were free and available, and the producers probably didn't care about esoteric stuff like design lineages.
The floaty bits don't seem to be a problem for the Federation, so why would it be a problem for the Klingons?
Temporal tech being banned is stated by Vance in DIS S3 when Discovery checks in with Starfleet HQ.
The ban on temporal tech has nothing to do with STO since STO is full of temporal tech and consoles you can use any way you like.
Yeah, but SFA is not beholden to the lore of the ships in STO. So they could use Temporal ships and just not say they're temporal.
I'm aware of that, but that wasn't what I was talking about. I was saying that the producers of the show don't have to follow STO lore because it isn't in the same continuity as the show.
Oh, it's guaranteed that they are.
One energy dampening field or something that blocks whatever teleportation they use to transfer plasma to the nacelles at a distance and the ships would be fucked.
Just like they would be utterly fucked if someone figures out the code key for their programmable matter.
Guaranteed? This is a made-up show, at the whims of the writers. The writers decide that the tech works, or it doesn't. There are no hard and fast rules.
