Agreed.
Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard
- Thread starter pst
- Start date
Hm, maybe not, the STO model doesn't have that glowing blue area on the top of the nacelle. Maybe they modified it, because the placement of that RCS thrusterI think the Inquiry classes in the fleet were from STO, or inspired by the details STO added. I can see a Registry number and RCS thrusters in places identical to what STO did
The Season one model only had RCS thrusters on the inward facing sides of the nacelles, not the outside.

It's probably because the art department and the ship designer were not informed of what exactly the writers had in mind. Besides, the Stargazer is described both as "the first of a new class of ships" and a "refit" which shows that even the writers weren't too sure.
I can rationalize the Stargazer being a fairly recent Sagan-class ship (as per the designer) that has been refit with Borg technology and therefore the prototype for a new "generation" of ships.
That would explain the NX/NCC part. USS Galaxy (NCC-70637) was supposedly involved in a couple battles in the Dominion War™, among other references. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Galaxy
Nothing in the movie indicated the Enterprise was the first Sovereign Class.
Pretty sure you are allowed to not name the ship class after your first ship. Especially if such a class exists already.
Like, the Ent-E being the first of her kind, but a "Enterprise class" already existing - just name the damn thing after a testbed, prototype built, or the production codename ("Souvereign" sounds like a good WIP-name for the development of the new flagship type).
Well isn't that just adorable?
I have to say - I'm not that big a fan of most ST:O designs themselves. But they're prefect to fill the screen with diverse background ships! And the hero ship - the Stargazer - is a good new design.
Personally I always liked the idea that no two ships are 100% identical. ENT touched upon that with the NX-02 being slightly different than the NX-01, and all the Miranda variations and even the Ent-B hull vs. the regular Excelsior fits that. That seems to be the assumption whenever it's just two (or a handfull ships) meeting. But whenever there's a giant fleet (Dominion war, here), they have to fill up with similar looking ships. Here, it works great, because some ST:O ships look like simple overhauls/refits/facelifts of a lot of existing ships.

Interview about the fleet. Some of it was in reaction to the negative feedback from the Season 1 fleet.

The bridge of the Stargazer doesn't use any 3D holographic interfaces like on Rios Season 1 ship.
We saw one when Jurati was working. But it doesn't seem to be the primary mode of interacting.
At least we didn't get a yeager class star ship.
That thing was so ugly it's beautiful!
I actually have both the Voyager and Maquis Raider kits sitting on my shelf, ready to be built into a studio-scale YeagerBeast.
Going to build a Centaur as well.

Is that a itty bitty Phaser Array Strip Segment on the outsides of the Warp Nacelle?Hm, maybe not, the STO model doesn't have that glowing blue area on the top of the nacelle. Maybe they modified it, because the placement of that RCS thruster
The Season one model only had RCS thrusters on the inward facing sides of the nacelles, not the outside.
Why implement such a small array?
YES!
Then why don't I see any Letters or numbers on the pic you have linked and see a Phaser Array Segment in it's place?
I misunderstood what area you were talking about.
For more coverage.
Voyager had arrays about that big on the rear of its saucer.
They could've made the Array longer IMO, provide more output / coverage.
That only happened because the DS9 VFX personnel had the original Reliant and Greg Jein's Excelsior studio models available to be scanned into CGI models.
