Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

"Gotta thread the needle."

WOW!
No wonder 9 or so years later Spock thinks he can split an asteroid using the ship's Phaser beams. ;)

This is kind of interesting, because this scene might be unintentionally accurate. While some asteroids are monolithic and are essentially giant solid rocks, some are rubble piles – aggregations of gravel held together under their own weak gravity. Those would presumably be quite easy for a powerful starship to phaser through.
 
Given its now canon, I want to see the USS Pioneer.
Agreed, and with PIC also canon'ing the 23rd century Shangri-La class we can now cleanly sort out production stablemates. For example Connie's and Pioneer's could have been said to have been made together around mid century from roughly the same bin of horizontal warp core based parts, while Shangri-La's, and Miranda's were made together late century from roughly the same bin of vertical warp core based parts. Connie's get the trans-generational refit cause its iconic and brand new heavy cruisers aren't cheap, while Pioneer's get phased out in the face of the swiss-army knife we named Miranda. It all fits together.
