The YATI lives!I do not like the curved neck at all. Or clashes with the Design language of the rest of the ship. The previous, angular design works much better.
Also ironic that SNW now copies TOS on having two different, contradicting versions of the same ship in the opening credits.
I jumped down your throat because this is the same tired argument we've heard a hundred times. All the evidence in the world is telling you one thing. To so actively ignore it is to be purposefully ignorant. But hey, you do you.
Ironic I can say the same about your perspective. Many retcons fail to take and cheap retcons without compelling reasons behind them never do. Just look at all the times Gene himself made some new iteration of trek with the movies or TNG and basically went "I like this better, nothing before this point counts anymore, the uniforms were always beige" and folks ultimately eventually just went against what he said. I see no reason at this time for the size change to stick it would take SNW to either present a compelling reason in an interior design that fits in the still generously enlarged hull, or for other series to parrot the 442 figure and force a new normal (and even dang disco listed 288...), otherwise the change dies with SNW and like that 2150's K'tinga everyone will just look back and shrug at it as a weird temporary bump in continuity.
Because the artists just copied and pasted the numbers from TOS tech manual without thinking.
They weren't thinking when they made the Discovery 750meters long, 50% warp nacelle, and facing three kilometer long stargate wraith ships either so I call it even
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean they weren't thinking.
trust me assuming they weren't is more generous than obvious that they just wanted the longest heroship to date.
You don't know them, don't presume to know what they were thinking.
Its so weird to me that they have enough material there to bend them over and make a warp ring instead, yet they don't even try to technobabble a reason for the warp spikes beyond "built by a non-sol ship yard"
This does make me wonder now if we'll see SNW's "Crossfield" again (ie don't let a ship asset go to waste/its a psyop to cover the real crossfield program, etc) or if they'll keep it as just some dylithium miner's ultimate kitbash project.
Yeah...TNG was much better because the 6' 1701-D filming model looked exactly like the 2' 1701-D filming model on screen...oh, wait...Also ironic that SNW now copies TOS on having two different, contradicting versions of the same ship in the opening credits.
see exactly 442 feet is just as true as 442 meters when the interiors don't fit and none of the other startrek series toe the line, so I might as well use the original figure, you all will come around eventually after SNW's finished its run(after what will hopefully be many years from now) and remains the only series to refer to the enterprise as 442 meters long
