Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard
- Thread starter pst
- Start date
*Ahem* Well... we know the Constitution class is 442 meters long, so this probably lines up rather nicely.
Teehee.
Remember the 2009/2013 debates about the Kelvinverse Enterprise size and how the windows, which would be floor-to-ceiling on the 725m ship, was somehow ridiculous until Star Trek Beyond explicitly showed floor to ceiling saucer rim windows close-up and it looked just fine?
Exactly, that and the other endless fights with a stack of evidence a mile high that some choose to argue against his very day
don't forgot that shot in Into Darkness with part of the saucer blown off showing the corridors.
Nice passing of the torch from Sean Tourangeau - that's a big ship!

That art makes the nuTitan look artificially larger than it should be.
Yeah it's only 110 meters longer.
Very early art team render of the Titan

Yep, and the Lexington
Prometheus was a Nebula before
All very valid points. My mind was in the 32nd century thinking of a certain legacy ship with a "J" on the end that still keeps the overall shape and look of the original. I assumed ships with A,B,C,D,E,J etc after them would follow similar patterns of design.

And the bridge module to fit the Stargazer's, struts are also smoothed out and that cutout on the front of the saucer is gone.
Bill Krause confirmed on Facebook that the Shangri-la model is supposed to be a previous U.S.S. Titan. So it would come between the Loknar and the Luna, and a canon TMP-era design along with the Constitution, Miranda, Constellation, and Sydney classes.

Defiant was a Connie.. Now it's a escort/defiant class.. Name doesn't behold class of ship or look.
Even then I doubt the Shangri la class Titan lasted from 2280 to 2380.. Should be a interim ship.
If they Wanted to use a connie clone, could have named it Yorktown or Lexington. Or hell, with 7 at the lead name it Voyager A!

Ship lineage need not be like Pokémon evolutions.
But when it IS like Pokémon, I think it's pretty cool.

This is why I hate the Defiant...
...oh, wait, that's because the flat weird shaped ship is just ugly.
I kept thinking I saw two letters "SS" then a name on that ship, but then I thought they were only windows and I wasn't seeing a name at all.
Starfleet may "Sell Off" older or ships that don't meet the requirements they expected.
