Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard

[137th Gebirg]

I see the Sutherland on the bottom-left panel and the Akira on the bottom-middle under Drexler. And yeah, I think that other one looks like Venture to me too.

It's too bad there aren't a few pre-timeline-split Abramsverse ships in there (Kelvin & Armstrong types). That would make some people's heads explode.

 

[Tuskin38]

it's just as blurry on the startrek.com version

Yeah, the scene really isn't focused on the panels, just hoping you could get an exclusive.

I hope they release straight-on, clear shots of these types of things after the season is over, plus an interactive SF Museum tour.

 

[Racefuel]

Hey uh, @Tuskin38 any chance there's a clearer version of the readouts behind Geordi?

I can make out Drexler right in front of Geordi and Thunderchild right behind him. Maybe Venture above Drexler (though not the Galaxy class Venture from DS9, that was NCC-71854)?

I think the Venture we see is a Sovereign class, we saw it in S2E1 and in S3E1

 

[Nerys Myk]

Does it say "Okuda" above the Sutherland?

 

[cooleddie74]

It does. U.S.S. Okuda.

Yeah, registry looks like it could be NCC-75306 which is the Sovereign class Venture.

 

[David cgc]

Sutherland, Okuda, Akira, Venture... it sounds like quite a few of these names and numbers are from the bookend fleet in season 2. Which makes sense.

 

[Firebird]

I think the Venture we see is a Sovereign class, we saw it in S2E1 and in S3E1

And it almost looks like it says USS Cerritos above the Venture.

 

[AaronMorse]

Saw the USS Ross and USS Gilgamesh in there too.

 

[fireproof78]

USS Gilgamesh in there too.

Epic!

 

[Lakenheath 72]

The ship name above the Venture is, I think, the Callisto. This could be the Luna-class Callisto, with registry NCC-80109.

The ship names I see are:
* Gilgamesh
* Okuda
* Sutherland
* Appalachia
* Ganymede
* Callisto
* Venture
* Drexler
* Akira
* Thunderchild
* Huygens

It looks like we might be filling out the ship lists on classes already seen in Star Trek: Picard, while at the same time not introducing many new classes of ships.

The Borg are trying to stage a mass assimilation thats why they are striking when the fleet is all in one place. All previous attempts have been lone wolves.

I think it's alright they are not introducing any more ship classes in Picard. We already got the Inquiry, Sutherland, Gagarin, Ross, Connie III, Intrepid, Sagan, Excelsior II and the original Luna class. It makes sense that most of the peacetime designs from the 2250s/60s have been decommissioned or placed on low-priority duties. Ships like the New Orleans, Springfield, Cheyenne and Ambassador classes are likely relegated to the background or possibly just all decommissioned entirely. The constitution class was nearly 50 years old by the time the Enterprise A was decommissioned and they needed a heavy refit to still be practical over their lifespan.

 

[Tosk]

I think folks also forget that the 1701-D had a giant skylight, and that was never a problem.

Which is lucky, considering it seemingly shattered like glass when the saucer slid into home base.

 

[USS Artorius]

Aren't all the transparent windows and skylights supposed to be made from "Transparent Aluminium"???

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Saw the USS Ross and USS Gilgamesh in there too.

Since all starships in 2401 are networked together, it stands to reason that older classes from before the Akira (the oldest class we’ve seen operating) have been decommissioned.

Another old class present at Probert Station is the Steamrunner-class (the Appalachia).

Is it the Steamrunner class, though, or is it a new ship with the same name? For all we know, the original Appalacia was destroyed in FC.
