Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

[Vale]

Well, we know from the Short Treks episode "Ephraim and Dot" that the refit still happens and looks pretty much the same as it does in the TMP-TWoK-TSfS movies (some, ahem, hull texturing issues aside). So keeping the same physical appearance but scaling it up to match the SNW Enterprise dimensions takes care of all the issues we have with the TMP interior spaces not fitting in the ship we see. And honestly the refit is a more believable evolution of the SNW Enterprise than it ever was for the TOS version.

 

[Tuskin38]

Or maybe the refit makes the ship smaller because of miniaturization.

In the preview for next week's episode, we see Starbase 1, the Galileo-type shuttles, the Enterprise, and a new golden hue starship. Could that be a new Vulcan design?

Whomever they tasked to make the Dedication Plaque might've gotten one thing wrong.
Phaser Arrays weren't a thing until the TNG era with the Galaxy Class if I'm not mistaken.

They should've replaced the "Phaser Arrays" with "Phaser Banks".

Same thing.

They use both "landing party" and "away team" on this series. That works. The 23rd century was nothing if not inconsistent in their terminology.

 

[Ronald Held]

Prefer landing party. Save away team for the 24th century and later.

People in StarFleet / Military / Professional organizations are usually pretty accurate on terminology.

In real life. Not in Fiction.

Rarely in fiction. And even if they are that precise, another character will pause them, correct them, and tell them to simplify it. Or, the lead character requires characters to have information explained to them that they should already know and be familiar with.

Fictional "professionals" are only as professional as the plot requires.

 

[Lieutenant Karma]

I prefer to think that in star trek, both are used and mean the same thing

Such a low bar for the word "Professional".

When they showed scenes about StarShip Counselors & Deanna Troi; you would hope they would hire Professional Counselors to advise on the roles of "Counseling". That they would get things right on terminology & ways to deal with problems with patients.

But that might be too high of an expectation.

I can hope for it all I want.

I don't expect it for anything. Counseling as a profession in fiction gets treated quite poorly. Oh well. That's life.

I surmised it's probably T'Pring's personal cruiser. Or else it belongs to the Zebrians....Zebraites?

 

[DEWLine]

Depending on which starbase they put in to for repairs, could T'Pring use a commercial carrier to get there?

I very much doubt T'Pring would be traveling around the galaxy in any "Public Space Transportation".

She's obviously from a very highly regarded (Rich) Vulcan Family.
They, I'm sure, have their own starships for travel. (like Queen Amidala)

She is supposed to be marrying into a Vulcan Ambassador's Family.
I'm pretty sure her family is high up as well, in the Vulcan Political Hierarchy.
(that's almost always how "arranged" marriages work)

Weird that our beloved far-future aliens who value logic nearly exclusively over emotions would ascribe to the same notions of wealth and privilege that current-day humans do.

Yeah, I can't imagine anyone in positions of power or authority ever using logic to justify their privilege

I recall in the premiere Discovery 2-parter, them alternating between "phasers" and "phase canons" when describing the Shenzhou's weaponry.

I've not seen anyone mention this, but in the premiere SNW episode Pike refers to the forward consoles as helm and ops instead of helm and nav, another TNG invention retconned/rebooted into the past with Discovery and now this.
