Everything was scrapped and overhauled with newer technology after scanning the Narada, and the ship was redesigned before it was launched. Or something.
Speaking of props, it just made me think of an old complaint I have for Enterprise - that there wasn't a subplot devoted to the Tricorder. I would have liked to see three bigger, bulkier scanners being combined and miniaturized into a more manageable device somewhere along the line. Heh.
Well to be fair, in the TNG S6 episode Relics, when Picard and Mr Scott are talking in the holographic Recreation of the original 1701 holographic Bridge recreation, Picard does say with respect to the Constitution Class, that there is one in the Fleet Museum, and he did recognize that it was a Constitution class just based on the bridge he was walking around in.In the PIC S3and just as it's about toend credits, there's a hint at the ships in the fleet museum,it gets blurry and fades out, leaving it openreveal if there's a Connie 1 there and if it's a TOS or Disco design
And it seems Picard season 3 is a direct continuation from TNG.
(And with respect to Star Trek Strange New Worlds, I hope they get at least six seasons, or at the very least are told directly that a given season will be there final season so that those making the show can end it in a manner that they feel good with, whatever they decide to do with regard to the version of the 1701 shown at the end of that series. If they turn the exterior into a version of Pike's 1701 Enterprise as seen from TOS The Cage, or Kirk's Enterprise from the majority of original TOS episodes, that's fine. But if they don't that's fine too. About the only consistent thing with respect to Star Trek is that it's often internally inconsistent. And that's a fact that goes from TOS to ENT, and continues with the current iteration of streaming Star Trek.)

wrong. There is a scale graphic in at least one scene of TOS that establishes her size.
Interesting that they seem to be going with something very close to the old FASA weight, which contradicts Scotty's on-screen dialog in TOS.
[Scene from "Mudd's Women"]
SPOCK: The entire ship's power is feeding through one lithium crystal.
KIRK: Well, switch to by-pass circuits.
SCOTT: We burned them all out when we super-heated. That jackass Walsh not only wrecked his vessel, but in saving his skin
KIRK: If it makes you feel better, Engineer, that's one jackass we're going to see skinned.
SCOTT: But it's frustrating. Almost a million gross tons of vessel depending on a hunk of crystal the size of my fist.
SPOCK: And that crystal won't hold up, not pulling all our power through it.
What was the size?
The weight on that plaque comes from the TOS Tech Manual.

In one TOS episode, the Constitution and D7 class are shown in scale to each other on the tri-monitor of the conference room. The length is given as 288m.
As I suspected.
Back to the old argument(s): if it is in an episode, not visible when originally aired, is it canon?
Personally, I would say no. Otherwise, all the injokes on the Enterprise D doors become canon.
Some would say that it doesn't matter if it's illegible. If it was the authorial intent, and it was shown on screen, then it has weight. Many pieces of information about ships came from illegible diagrams that were seen clearer in later books, websites, better HD screencaps, etc.
There's a huge difference between legit ship information and some in-jokes.
I guess I don't see it that way.
I'm not sure why that would be, unless you're itching to take Timo's former job as the TrekBBS's serial contrarian
Here's my perspective: if it cannot be read on screen then I will take it with my daily bottle of salt. It can be contradicted because by and large even the writers may not know it because it was not relevant to the story told. So, it gets filed away under the "in jokes" because it's not legible.I'm not sure why that would be, unless you're itching to take Timo's former job as the TrekBBS's serial contrarian
The only thing I'm contrarian about is pineapple on pizza. I love that stuff!
This cutaway was also shown in an episode, and in HD. It clearly shows a Constitution much larger then 289m. If my memory serves me, at this she's about 433m in length, according to Drexler, who originally made it for the PC game "Captain's Chair" before reusing it for "In a Mirror, Darky". Is this not just as canon, as a blurry monitor, meant to be seen on late 60's televisions?
