Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

If you have to believe that the old ship on TOS is less than a thousand feet long, well, go with God. Pike's ship is much bigger.
 
Am I the only who's beginning to think it's only insecure male fans who are so obsessed with the size of an object?

Please take a moment to consider what I am saying..... You are all OBSESSED with the size of an object..... and male......
 
So 2245 was a big year for starfleet. It launched not one but three constitution class starships: the constellation, the enterprise and now it’s been confirmed that the cayuga was also launched that year as well.

As I recall Drexler had to upscale his Defiant cutaway in "In a Mirror, Darkly" to make everything fit, and I know that several fan artists felt that they had to do the same (@ancient comes to mind).

I like up scaling the Enterprise - although I might have made it touch larger - 1485 feet instead of 1450.
 
The only other ships that would need to be rescaled would be the Constitution-Refit, Constellation and Miranda classes and likely the Excelsior class. I don't see any need to change any of the other ships.
Well you also got Rommie BoP, and the D7/K'tinga but that basically is just canonizing the DS9TM's size for the class. Excelsior meanwhile hardly counts cause its size has always been in a bit of flux just like the klingon BoP from the movies all that's important is that she's at least as wide as the Connie class and not more voluminous than the ambassador class.
 
NCC-1557... Well that would be a Sombra-ish Registry. FYI any FASA Fans out there that now supersedes the USS Rasalgethi NCC-1557 Durrett Class
Thank you, I missed that.
I also just learned that the USS Cayuga is not the same as USS Cuyahoga. Confusing.
