Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

[F. King Daniel]

The intermix chamber looks too much like a TARDIS control console for my liking

The pipes are numbered! The pipes are numbered!

 

[Tuskin38]

I won't be canon until we see a tube labelled GN/DN

Well now we know how the interiors of the 1701 were enlarged...

 

[DEWLine]

I still haven't seen the trailer itself for "Memento Mori" yet. The sneak-peek, yes...with a colony using 21C-issue big-cube liquid tanks and retail doorways...

 

[Andru]

Two things I would like to add.

In the first episode, as Stamets is approaching the Enterprise, we hear this announcement: "USS [], please transfer to y." I am trying to understand what the name of this ship. It sounds like Elgin.

Well spotted! I've listened again, and I'm pretty sure the name is Yelchin.

But it's pretty early registry-wise for a 'NCC-4774' Yelchin, so possibly an earlier ship still.

 

[Lakenheath 72]

Thank you, Andru

Well.. depending on your head canon.. NCC-4774 would be in line with the Baker Class ships from FASA. And Pike did mention in Discovery that StarFleet had 7k ships...

Also an interesting thing I noticed.. USS Antares. Apparently Pike served on this ship prior to the Enterprise.. and one of the Memorial Pins from the StarTrek:Mission Chicago pics. Makes you wonder what bad things happened to the Antares...

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

The NCC-4774-E was the USS Yelchin destroyed by the Burn in the 31st century.

 

[AaronMorse]

Yeah But I assume that the Yelchin mentioned in the background radio chatter of SNW S01E01 was either the NCC-4774.. OR a prior USS Yelchin

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Oh, no doubt. But if the registry of 4774* is known, then any question about it being the Elgin or the Yelchin should be cleared up.

If they're only on E by the 31st century, I'd lean towards the one in the 23rd century having no bloody A, B, C or D.

Makes me wish thats how the Defiant bridge should've looked in Enterprise's mirror universe.

The Defiant bridge looked fantastic in STE.

 

[Tuskin38]

The Defiant bridge looked fantastic in STE.

Maybe for a fan film. It did not look good for a modern Trek production. Look too much like a 60s set with modern displays.

 

[DEWLine]

And the point at the time for "In a Mirror, Darkly" was to do classic design with modern tech embedded.

 

[Tuskin38]

And the point at the time for "In a Mirror, Darkly" was to do classic design with modern tech embedded.

Yeah, and they wasted an opportunity to update the design for 21st century Television.

Too many people with their heads stuck in the past on the show team.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

It's not from the 21st century.

 

[Tuskin38]

It's not from the 21st century.

Exactly my point.

 

[TRON JA307020]

They did embed modern tech. They upgraded graphics and even had computer graphics at consoles and views viewscreen. It looked great. They even changed the lighting and added a deeper color to the whole bridge. It looked really good.

 

[fireproof78]

Exactly my point.

Fans will never be convinced it wouldn't work. Singular data points are all that matters.

 

[Paul755]

And other fans will never be convinced that it could/does work.
