Which was just a modified Voyager asset.
Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard
- Thread starter pst
- Start date
Yeah, and the whole point was it was supposed to not look Romulan so they'd have plausible deniability.
Obvious Shenzhou mod top left.As mentioned above, what is assumed to be some of the evacuation fleet above Mars, featuring new designs for Tugs and Shuttles (or it could be an Argo type from Nemesis, beneath the container on the right?)
But at least they're modifying them with new nacelles.
Umm, not really: they're all the same, and they don't have saucers but these Thor's hammer things for primary hulls. The DSC ship had the impulse engines in an aft hull extension, not on the saucer, so it's not even something they carved out of Georgiou's ship.
It's just that Eaves always draws "Shenzhou mods"...

The Discovery shuttles look like TNG shuttles, so I don't see the problem.
Also, loved seeing the hologram Galaxy class, as well as...
... it fading into the holograph Constitution class.
And the TNG shuttles looked just like the Enterprise-A's shuttles anyway. Shuttles just don't really change much.
Way to piss on the graves of all the people who actually made this all possible to begin with.
Because their interpretations seem to have very little to do with what actually went on in TOS (it feels like their TOS connections were simply there to sell the show), just their interpretations fifty years after the fact. Sometimes, you can't go home again.
The top left ship looks to be the same as the far right ship, which looks nothing like the Shenzhou
Eaves just likes his dorsal fins, the Shenzhou isn't the only ship he's designed with them.
I have to completely disagree.
While they might not match the era they're supposed to be in, they're clearly from different Eras.
An Eaves DSC Design feels just as out of place in the 24th or 22nd, as a TOS Design would in those eras, as they don't have any of the common design elements from those eras on them.
Most of his DSC Fed Ships have blocky/square nacelles, with round TOS style bussard collectors and TOS Movie era phaser emitters.
His 24th Century Fed ships (which of right now, is like 3 designs not counting shuttles) have Phaser strips, flat impulse engines, angular warp nacelles with flat integrated bussard collectors. The hull panelling is a lot different, more segmented.
His 24th century Romulan ships (which is just the Valdore, as far as I know), is flat, with bird wing like panelling, while his 22nd BoP is a lot closer in design to the TOS BoP then that.
He hasn't designed a 24th century Klingon ship, so nothing to compare there, but his 22nd Century designs for them are clearly the same lineage, but not the same time period.

Love them.Some surprised no one is talking about the Romulan ships
And we got a gorgeous sweeping shot of them approaching the cube, and flying within.

We get an early look at those ships (including a better view of the main hull) in the news report watched by the male Romulan in Picard's house at time index 10:27-10:30. Can someone take screenshots?As mentioned above, what is assumed to be some of the evacuation fleet above Mars, featuring new designs for Tugs and Shuttles (or it could be an Argo type from Nemesis, beneath the container on the right?)
Eleven in total, to be precise (not including the new one).
You're right, that's still not that many.
I tried but they're really not very clear at all, all it really shows is the containers and then a real close up/quick pass of one of the tugs but without any of its nacelle or impulse lights illuminated so you can barely tell.
Jeffries got paid to do a job and he did it well. I don't think for one second he thought his designs needed to be guarded in the Louvre, never subject to new interpretation.
We can all agree that TMP Enterprise is the best looking starship there ever was, or ever will be, but as for the TOS Enterprise, it's an outlier. If it had been my call to update it for Discovery I would have done so also. It probably would not have looked like it does but I am more than happy with it. No one pissed on the work. If anything it's a love letter to it.
Nick Acosta has shown that the original Enterprise looks every bit as good as, or better than, the attempts to "update" it.
It looks a bit goofy, honestly.
edited: it looks good. I like it. but I can admit it looks goofy
Would not hurt them much to show a retit 1701 for a Pike series looking like the WNMHGB 1701!!!!
I'd settle for there just being one in the background, perhaps in a dry-dock being upgraded to the DISCO version.
Ah nice! I wasn't counting the Reman ships, but I guess they're Romulan too, technically.Eleven in total, to be precise (not including the new one).
You're right, that's still not that many.
