Spoilers The Ships of Lower Decks

[Timo]

As far as we know, Kirk's ship was always supposed to be an anachronism in her day. DSC just makes her look even more ancient, where TOS had no point of comparison and TAS gave semi-civilian tubs as her stablemates.

The California certainly blends in. Whether this is good or bad, depends. When TNG got the funds to go diverse, they certainly didn't try and blend in: the only "TNG style" ship in ST:First Contact was the Akira. If that's our regular Starfleet, why are we seeing something so different in LDS?

Loving the skydiving shot. Doesn't appear completely voluntary on Rutherford's part, judging by his face...

So the Vancouver is a Parliament-Class

All the shuttles were named after districts in Vancouver as well

I can’t wait to see the Funkadelic class.

We also got a good look at the Olympic-class USS Quito. First time we've seen an Olympic outside of the alternate future or Okudagrams. I had to double-check to see if Quito, Ecuador was ever an Olympics hosting city (they weren't).

These designs are much better than the disappointment I felt from PIcard's finale. It's like they just had one design they copied and pasted (which is likely similar to what they really did).

That fleet in Picard was disappointing.

I thought the "Parliament Class" was a pretty nice design, only thing I don't like are the windows on the engine nacelle pylons.

 

[mikelima777]

Probably a bit of a stretch, but perhaps its a slight reference to Vancouver architecture, where a lot of the skycrapers ends up as "How mant windows does this building need? Yes."

Interesting that the Vancouver was also considered an engineering focused starship.

Its shuttles have red stripes, so it's probably a command ship

Yes, a small stupidity in an otherwise good design.

 

[fireproof78]

That nacelle control room needs lighting, damnit!

 

[mikelima777]

I wonder if the asthetic for the Vancouver's pylons was inspired by the neck of the Enterprise-D?

The pylons may be just thick enough for a small office/compartment or two, a hallway, and the turbolift shaft.

he also says the Cerritos has its own special feature, like how the Enterprise can seperate or voyager can land. It will show up some time in this season

CANONIZE THE UBER GALAXY YOU EFFING COWARDS!

I’ll glad if they don’t...Never cared much for that design and it has all sort of problems.

I must say I’m liking a lot the Parliament class. Way better than the California for me.

 

[publiusr]

Agreed

You know how the LDS ships are colour coded for their jobs? That would be yellow but security yellow not support services yellow.

The placement of the central 3rd Nacelle never made sense from a "Warp Fields" Line of Sight rule.

The placement of the central 3rd Nacelle never made sense from a "Warp Fields" Line of Sight rule.

Third nacelle goes all the way back to the Dreadnought in the Starfleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph. IIRC, the only reason the rule ever existed was because Roddenberry ended up pissed off at Joseph sometime after its release.

That's because the 'line of sight' rule isn't canon; it's just Roddennberry bullshit.

So that rule is pretty much safe to ignore?
