Spoilers The Ships of Lower Decks

It could have been impulse only due to the energy requirements for the cloak and plasma weapon, with a cloaked carrier on the Romulan side of the NZ. If it had a prototype singularity drive, what happened to the mini black hole when the ship destructed?

The mini Black Hole probably ate the ship and left nothing behind.

Ergo no knowledge or tech for the opposition to Salvage.
 
There don't appear to be mini black holes on the various Dominion War battlefields, so I guess the Romulans worked out a way to have them close in case of containment breach.
Probably not enough matter to keep the Black Holes running after it eats what's right around it.

I think STO got it right when it depicted how Romulan StarShips die via internal BlackHole.
 
So, going back to "where is a/the shuttlebay?". Crisis Point shows a shuttle entering "a" shuttlebay, plus some other close-up shots of the ship we've never seen before thanks to the TMP/TWOK style flyaround. The MSD we saw had shuttles in the rear of the saucer, but no blatant shuttlebay doors anywhere (outside of the 2 gray squares at the rear L&R of the saucer).

Clearly a LOT more going on with the lower pod than I've ever noticed. Like 6+ decks "more". Is that "a" shuttlebay about mid-level? (and maybe another one below that?)

The curvature and the cut-out area leading up to the door match up.

I think you’re right. Looks like the lower pod has at least one, maybe two, shuttle bays, making this a very large vessel.

And the ship overall suffers from Bird-of-Prey syndrome of shifting scales. :lol:

Of course, that was from the probably higher-res movie model ;)
Perhaps a subtle dig at the 2009 movie? 366m at the shipyard, 725m for most of the movie (and the official size) but 1200m when the shuttlebay comes out:lol:

There was a LOT of lens flare in the bridge scenes :eek:

I honestly haven't felt a lot of scaling changes, but maybe that's just me. Not a lot of ship porn until this episode.
 
At some point, his team is going to have to give us "vital stats" for the California, Parliament and Osler classes. Among others.
