Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

[UssGlenn]

The silver Constitution stuck a bit longer after they decided to build a new miniature based on the initial yellow Ready Room model, since it was being used for reference for the new one.

You are right, I was just checking screencaps and just realized the Constitution shows up in The Big Goodbye was well, I'm not sure when the Constellation actually returns.

edit: it's back by "We'll always have Paris", not sure about before.

According to MA, the silver model was used in the Ready Room in "The Battle," "Hide and Q," "The Big Goodbye," and "Too Short a Season." The episodes weren't necessarily produced and aired in the same order, and there were probably ones without any scenes in the Ready Room, or at least none where you saw where the model was.

It also popped up on other sets in earlier episodes.

There was also Geordi's weird-ass Connie refit with the missing windows and tilted nacelles in TNG S3 "Boobytrap". An experimental "variant", maybe?

Well it was a warp drive draft room or whatever it was called...

That's my theory. A one-off prototype testing out technologies before the Constellation was built, seeing how that model of nacelle performs arranged perpendicular to how they were designed to interact with each other (I'm sure the Constellation would be built so the pairs are port and starboard and not above and below, but you'd want to know if you could use either arrangement in a crisis), maybe testing the internal arrangement with most of the saucer given over to shuttlebays.

Is that anything like a drafthouse? Or is that a Kelvin Universe thing"

So I just learned the first time the Enterprise fires phasers in TOS, which is in the Corbomite Maneuver, they were red. (TOS-R would change them to blue to be consistent with the rest of the series.)

In SNW the Enterprise has a red phasers instead of blue. So maybe it isn't a continuity error after all :P, it was DSC that got it wrong!

Except that the phasers were blue colored in the combat sequences the 1701 took part in in its season 2 appearances of Star Trek Discovery.

(The above said though, I agree with you. I have a feeling the current producers of strange new worlds decided to go with the red color because they were in fact red in TOS S1 The Corbomite Maneuver.)

Red looks better and is more consistent with the rest of the franchise.

I don't agree. The blue colir was iconic for TOS era. That's why it was the color chosen for TOS-R.

And WRT the rest of the Star Trek franchise, yellow/orange has been the color used for Federation phasers since Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan and carried on through TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT; as well as the TNG feature films.

Close enough.

I really want to see a TOS Miranda haha

 

[Ronald Held]

Could the color be a matter of power or settings?

We already have. DSC 3x06 “Scavengers”.

 

[MikHutch]

Which image?

 

[Macintosh]

Don’t we see the Enterprise-D phasers changing colour when it starts shifting harmonics between rapid consecutive shots to fight the Borg?

 

[137th Gebirg]

Which image?

Second row from the bottom, all three pics of the falling ships. There are some more detailed images buried somewhere in the DSC forum, including a render from the company that did the model. It’s definitely a Miranda-style ship with DSC-era components (plus a Soyuz-class turret on top).

Update - Here we go: 31st/32nd Century Ships Revealed

 

[Nerys Myk]

I like mine better

I like to think there are RBG sliders on the tactical panel. Blue in Discovery, red in SNW, red or blue in TOS, yellow in TAS...

I mentioned that.
