Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard
- Thread starter pst
- Start date
Yeah
C is a much much wider ship and much taller.
The Ambassador class is big, I wish we had seen them on screen more
I'm sure there would've been some outcry if they'd made the Enterprise-A an Oberth. Which they kinda did with the G.
Even as a separate class after the fact.
I thought it was bad luck to rename a ship? (Enterprise-A & Defiant #2 aside
)
The Enterprise-A in unconfirmed, while atleast the Defiant was brand new.Even as a separate class after the fact.

Cant understand why people think that version is an improvement
The Defiant2 was previously the Sao Paulo. We also had no idea whether that one was new.
(though being a Defiant class at that time, the odds were better she was newer, if not brand new)
Or is the superstition related only to "used" ships?
It's a nice looking ship, just a little closer in style to the Galaxy class than to the Excelsior style.

Top photo reminds me of the view often used for the Galactica. Kinda similar shape to the front of the saucer.I quite like the updated Inquiry-class with the proper navigational deflector. It has both a solidity and a flow to it. It looks like a proper evolution of the post-TNG era designs (post-post-TNG era?). It also looks like a double-hard bastard of a starship that can take and deal a lot of punishment. There's something almost aggressive about those nacelles.
I do agree though that her being around 630m long per Eaglemoss feels a bit too big and ungainly for the design language. I'd have scaled it as somewhat intermediate between the Intrepid-class and the Sovereign-class, around 450-500m in length.
Don't see it myself. The arse is too long and the secondary hull looks terrible from the front.
Was it not stated or implied somewhere in its debut that the Sao Paulo was "fresh off the line" or some such? I could be wrong.
I can't remember either, but I don't think it was mentioned.
I remember thinking during PIC season 1 that I really wanted to have them show a new, original Enterprise-F. Now, we have two new Enterprises, and not only are they not original, they look extremely silly. Oh well. Here’s hoping we’ll get an Enterprise-Z in the final season of DSC.
I know S3 of Picard was meant to lean heavier into fan service from the start, but I really think they went overboard and discarded believability in the process. It's too bad, because it was completely unnecessary to go that far.
"Titan, you helped save the Federation, your reward: Nothing, it's the Enterprise's legacy now!" 
Phew, Voyager had a lucky escape when she got home by the looks of it.
