Spoilers The Strange New Worlds Starship Thread™

Damn… Never thought I’d see a Larson on-screen. It’s a little bit beefier than I expected, but still…

I wonder if they’ll go into denial about it like with the PIC S3E1 appearance of the non-Federation class dreadnaught models at Guinean’s bar.

The beefiness comes from using the Malachowski hull, but damn, that hull totally works.

I think anything FASA produced under their Star Trek license is fair game, it's really only the Franz Joseph designs that have the weird rights issues since all of that stuff was produced independently and then licensed to Paramount.

No, because:

- it’s not actually a FASA Larson, whereas those little Eaglemoss type models very clearly represented the FJ dreadnought, and besides…

- FASA isn’t a thing anymore. CBS can use their designs because there’s no copyright on them, and I believe Paramount owned the designs anyway. They already used a FASA Loknar as a previous Titan in LDS.

How can there be a cetacean ops if they haven’t gone back in time and restored the whale population?

I think cetacean ops is dolphins, not humpback whales.

They were looking for humpbacks.

It could still conceivably be whales, like the belugas on the Cerritos.

But if we do see CetOps I hope it does use dolphins and one of them is named Darwin.

In LD they were belugas and in PRO it was a humpback. However, the TNG MSD did indeed show dolphins.

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Arent beluga whales technically a type of dolphin like killer whales?
