Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard

[Kamen Rider Blade]

I notice the warp core in the La Sirena is a downsized, refined civilian version of the retconned warp core on the USS Enterprise from Strange New Worlds.

What 100+ years of Technological development can do.

Imagine, the output of the old Connie, in such a small vessel like the La Sirena.

=D

 

[DEWLine]

I'd also prefer that the 1701-E stuck around a while longer, thanks much. The Odyssey class is welcome, certainly, with that caveat in mind.

 

[Dukhat]

The top view of that mystery ship on the display that was previously blurred out (and is speculated to be the Enterprise-F) doesn’t look like the top view of the STO Odyssey class.

By 2411, the Enterprise-E would be almost 40 years old, if it was still in service. So it’s high time for a new ship

 

[Paul755]

I would prefer that they stuck with the E-E. It would be nice to see an Enterprise actually last for its full designed lifetime.

But if they go with an Enterprise F, please make it an original design. No STO designs.

 

[Danlav05]

I hope they give us a hint as to what happened and not ignore it because it’s not as popular as the D

 

[Paul755]

From Matalas

Shutting this down before people get their hopes up. It’s not what you think. So what the F are they talking about then? Get it? What the F? *cough! Okay, I’ll see myself out.

[NCC-73515]

So... D in the museum and the brand-new F. Perhaps we'll at least see the E in the museum as well, as a new artefact that's being worked on

 

[Dukhat]

I can see it now: Kirk and crew Picard and crew steal the Enterprise-D from Spacedock, are pursued by the Excelsior Enterprise-F, and make their way to Genesis a war-torn planet in search of Spock Beverly.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Sounds like fun!

 

[Dukhat]

But wait, there's more! The Enterprise-D is attacked and destroyed (a second time), but not before Kirk and company Picard and company escape to the Genesis Planet war-torn planet and find Spock Beverly, and then they all escape in Kruge's Bird of Prey Beverly's ship, then use it to time travel to the 20th 21st century to rescue some whales Rios to bring him back to the 25th century so he can go back to commanding the Stargazer. After a trial in which the crew are sentenced for stealing and destroying the Enterprise, all charges are waived, Kirk Picard is demoted to captain, and given the command of the Enterprise-A Enterprise-F!

 

[cooleddie74]

Well, ain't that horseshit some fantastic storytelling!

 

[NCC-73515]

Stealing the D from the museum was one of the ideas for AGT already

 

[Tuskin38]

According to Levar they only filmed on the Ent-D bridge set for 3 days, I think they're just meeting there for a couple scenes.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

In the novelverse, a Constitution class and a space shuttle were stolen from the museum. Security isn't a high priority in those museums.

 

[Danlav05]

Oh god we’re gonna get Will fanboying over Nx-01 aren’t we?!

 

[Rao Van Tickle]

A question I asked somewhere else, but feel belongs better here: Does anybody else see a third nacelle on the leaked MSD pic?

 

[Tuskin38]

Unless it's mounted under the ship, I don't think you're seeing a nacelle

 

[WarpFactorZ]

I wonder if this Enterprise-F is going to be a 25th century take on the Connie design. That's what I'm seeing in that graphic.

 

[Rao Van Tickle]

Unless it's mounted under the ship, I don't think you're seeing a nacelle

I'll insert my comment from elsewhere:

Nacelles are usually, from all the MSDs we know, hidden everywhere they overlap with the hull of the ship, ie Ent D. For that reason they're sometimes even pictured separately, ie Voyager.

On the other hand, there's nothing preventing the third nacelle being mounted at the bottom. Might look really good if the primary and secondary hulls are rather flat, squished together.

Look, I'm not wishing for a third nacelle, haha! It just looks as if there was one. Somebody ask Matalas, I'm sure he'll give a hint!

 

[137th Gebirg]

There is definitely nothing preventing a third underslung nacelle. The Niagara had this many years ago and perhaps the Hutzel as well (I think I have the schematic upside-down actually).

Now, does it look good to have that third nacelle underneath? While a completely subjective interpretation, I’m gonna say “no”.
