There's certainly precedent for existing ships to be renamed Enterprise, however for a ship that already has its own prestige legacy it feels a little...weird to just overwrite that. I kinda think this Titan itself is already worthy of its own prestige at this point, the name carries its own weight. Will they build a new Titan-B or is Titan swept under the rug now?
Constitution III is a good choice for Enterprise-G (great to have an Enterprise be a largely science/exploration vessel again) but I wonder if I might have liked it better to be a sister ship to the Titan rather than literally being the Titan. Kinda odd.
Haven't entirely decided yet if I'm for or against it, I'm just a bit uncomfortable when I think about it.
Although, it's kinda neat that retroactively, Shaw was the first captain of the Enterprise-G. That's a fun aspect of that peculiarity.

Imho, the Neo-Con belongs to the 23rd century.
We were robbed of a live action Luna class Titan.
They give us the established Enterprise-F and canonize it…but then turn it into an old 24th century bucket and promptly decommission it
just to slap the next letter onto their underpowered, years old “It’s not the Shangri La II, it’s the Constitution III!” Titan-A.
Ah, the Titan-A, hero of the hour alongside the venerable Enterprise-D… so let’s make sure history never remembers the name Titan by CHANGING the NAME of an EXISTING SHIP. Instead, y’know, refitting and recommissioning either the D or the F.

good
If you have not seen it yet, Dave Blass tweeted some nice shots of different starships.

Sagan still looking the best.
I’m not sure why they just didn’t use Stargazer for Season 3. Picard and Riker could still have used essentially the same “inspection” rouse to get aboard, just using Picard’s connections instead - all we lose is Shaw’s joke about purging Riker’s jazz.
Agreed. Two ships are STO meh, and one is a silly old design from FC. Only the Sagan stands out as a good design.
Actually, I’m not sure why they didn’t just make the ship the Enterprise-F to begin with. I’m not crazy about the design but at least we wouldn’t have had all the silliness with the Odyssey F being decommissioned and the Titan renamed.
The Enterprise-B-style refit Excelsior-class has a volume of around 983,000m³. The Ambassador-class has a volume of around 2,871,000m², almost three times larger. The Ambassador is a big ship.
It seems to be rather hollow (very hollow if it has large enough spaces for a Galaxy-class starship to fly through it), which will lower the density and therefore its own gravity by a lot. A quick back-of-an-envelope calculation on the critical stresses and density of solid rock suggest that a solid cube of 1000km to a side would be possible, so a Borg Cube made of hyperstrong exotic materials shouldn't have any problem. The Cube in "The Last Generation" is bigger than normal, certainly, but eyeballing it against the Enterprise-D suggests it's on the order of 25km to a side, so it should be fine.
Just FYI the Enterprise-F was also partially fan designed.
While true, I don't count STO origin ships, just screen used ships.
That makes the Luna class and Constitution III class the ones we've seen on screen in some form.
But I understand my perspective is different, so I concede the point
Amazing, epic computers!!!
There's several. There's also a handful in Season 2.
Or that…
I guess they wanted a less powerful ship to face Shrike, but Shrike was so ridiculously overpowered, it makes the odds seem even more dire if the 1701-F is the one getting its butt kicked.
Yeah... Renameing a legacy ship to another legacy is just.. Blah..
3 ships barely 20 years old mothballed. 2 enterprises and the titan.. While the Tos enterprise was just hitting her groove at 20 years old with Kirk in command. Ugh..
Could have saved the headaches by. Naming the titan.. Anything.. Start your own legacy with a new name.. Not ride any coat tails..
Have the E retire after 30 , show the F for frontier day, your new named ship goes does its own thing..
