Spoilers The thing in bay 12

[Captain_Amasov]

I think Thomas just made a mistake in the scale.

Looks like it, Dave Blass posted this and has the original length of the ship:

I guess the only issue I have is when that comparison is made..McCoys "my god that's a big ship" in TUC doesn't make much sense given that Excelsior is actually not th at much better, just longer, than Enterprise.

Yes it is. The Excelsior is MASSIVE compared to a Constitution-class, beyond just being about 50% longer. If we look at their canonical lengths of 467m and 305m respectively, the Excelsior comes in with a volume of 873,000m³ to the Constitution refit's 235,000m³ – 370% larger. The jump from the Constitution to the Excelsior is larger than the jump from the Excelsior to the Ambassador (310%) or from the Ambassador to the Galaxy (200%).

Well, now that it has been officially revealed, LeVar tweeted this image the day the season started, then quickly deleted.

That set was used for 7+ years before they blew it up in Generations. I wouldn't call that "wasting it."

Yes...I know

This week on Hell's Engine Room...

I'd like to see the OG fly off into the sunset in the D, ala: ST6 (as long as we're reliving TOS movie themes).

I'm talking about if the sizes are messed with and the Enterprise becomes 440 meters and the Excelsior is at 540 meters or whatever.

In the previously established sizes, 300 vs 440 meters, the line makes more sense.

lol
he's the one that spilled the beans about filming on the D bridge as well, with damage control following to try and and claim that he wasnt talking about the classic bridge

guess levar is not the best at keeping secrets, but we love him

I think Patrick also said there were multiple enterprises.

The NX-01 ought show up, with Riker saying it looks different than he remembers.

If we scale the Constitution refit and the Excelsior up to 442m and 526m respectively – which is a much bigger bump forr the Constitution than it is for the Excelsior, incidentally – then their volumes become approximately 790,000m³ and 1,260,000m² respectively, which still means the Excelsior is around 160% larger. Even at this scale she is SIGNIFICANTLY bigger than the Constitution – and in fact that would make the Excelsior around the same volume as the Akira-class. This would also make the Excelsior about twice the volume of the Intrepid-class.

I see they incorporated Dr. Richards' HERBIE technology into the ship.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

Huh, so they made the Bridge. I thought they used an existing fan replica or some such.

Good job then!

 

[Richard S. Ta]

Because Geordi went joyriding on the weekends.

Sometimes, when he’s stressed, he just likes to go and listen to the D’s warpcore. Meditative.

 

[Finn]

What the hell are they going to do with it?

“There were lots of interested parties who wanted to save the set,” Blass says. “Luckily it has a home in the Star Trek archives.”

That's bigger than the STO version that has it at just shy of a kilometer.

 

[Blackout]

About the rebuilt bridge, apparently it was stupid expensive and the timeframe was really tight. I do hope this means they'll re-use it or at least not waste the fucking thing this time. It's apparently been disassembled but is 100% complete in the Trek archives warehouse

I'm so glad it's been retained this time. It's rare that the sets get preserved once they're done with them, I was already afraid of what had become of this one. Great news. I hope it sees use in the future in some form.
