I would have preferred that design for this season's hero ship.That is such a beautiful ship. One of the best - if not THE best design so far that season. Well done, Bill & Doug!

The stinger portion of this class still weirds me out but over all it is a good design.Doug also posted this on Facebook

It was the same on the Stargazer and Titan too, white on the concept art/model but black on the final model.
I agree. This retro vibe that discards mid and late 24th century designs does annoy me. There's no reason if the Excelsior and Miranda class ships can be around for 100 years in Trek history that we can't run into any TNG/DS9, TNG movie era ships.Still not a fan of round saucers and design cues taken from 120 years ago for 25th century ships. But that's just me.
Well, that whole war thing probably had an impact.Miranda class ships can be around for 100 years in Trek history that we can't run into any TNG/DS9, TNG movie era ships.
My point was that those ships showed up on screens across 100 years of Trek. Just like to see the ships from the TNG era some more.I'd be happy to never see another Excelsior or Miranda on screen ever again (although if we see the original Excelsior in the Starfleet Museum I'd be cool with that.)
Same. Ugly ships, though that's par for course in the 24th century, in my opinion.I'd be happy to never see another Excelsior or Miranda on screen ever again (although if we see the original Excelsior in the Starfleet Museum I'd be cool with that.)

@AdmiralBuck is it a carrier?Do we know if the Intrepid is a carrier like the Hornet/Wasp?
Yeah, we've been discussing them in another thread. I don't like that Utopia Planitia being destroyed was apparently such a significant blow to Starfleet's ship production capacity for years given that it's only one of at least three active shipyards in Earth's own solar system, never mind the many shipyards that must exist elsewhere – but we have to defer to what we're shown on screen.@Macintosh
And then there are the yards we know less about. The ones in the home spaces of Andoria, Betazed, Benzar, Tellar, maybe even Bajor by now?
We only know for sure that McKinley Station and San Francisco Fleet Yards are producing starships into the 24th century – but in the 23rd century Earth's moon is quite the industrial hub, with Luna Shipyards (Kasidy Yates's freighter Xhosa), Copernicus Shipyards (Hathaway NCC-2593), and Tranquility Base (Defiant NCC-1764) all being cited. Even assuming that the lunar shipyards all closed down or relocated, Sector 001 should have significant starship production capability even without Utopia Planitia.Yep, with San Francisco Fleet Yards and the Tranquility Base Yards based at the Moon(they constructed the TOS Defiant) that still gives Starfleet a lot of construction power within Sector 001.
