Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

you edited out the part where it says a scale cheat is needed to fit engineering into the ship
I guess production didn't want it to fit.
I'm not an expert on the tech (all I know is it works like those old 3d head tracking gimmiks for flight sims only tied to the movements of a professional film camera and on a much larger scale covering the walls cielings and maybe the floor) but from the laymans perspective I can imagine two possibilities...
A) maybe it doesn't handle smaller spaces well, perhaps the effect becomes more noticeable when the wall its showing isn't in the distance
B) the smaller room didn't look impressive enough for the tone they had previously set with discovery, and so rule of cool prevailed. Which is perfectly fine there is plenty of precedent for trek series doing that just don't expect me to throw out continuity and replace an old wrong length figure that influenced a large body of work with a new still wrong length figure that causes headaches for previous works...
All of which, are not part of official on-screen canon.
Your acceptance or rejection of what is seen on screen doesn't change that the 442m length is established on screen now.
Screen canon has been popularly rejected when it breaks continuity for no justifiable reason plenty of times before. So I'm confident in saying you two are entitled to your opinions.
on screen canon is the only canon that matters.
So you believe klingons had ktingas in the 2150's, and you are entitled to your opinion.
Anything to see more K't'ingas.
You're someone who knows what they like and I can respect that
Merci. Tbf though I also like continuity. So while I enjoy the Ferengi, I didn't like "Acquisition" in terms of needlessly violating continuity
They danced around continuity without violating it so much in that one, it could have been written by Gene Kelly.
Honestly was it even needed lol? They could've done first contact with the Trills or the Bolians instead without violating continuity
Technically it wasn't a first contact. They never got their names.
What the hell else would one believe? They're on the screen for all to see.
I more meant they wouldn't need to dance so much to begin with
True,
Come to think of it we don't know when those first contacts canonically occurred (although somewhen between ENT and SNW)
