USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

J only appeared as a briefly glimpsed wall art. I think the picture they used was fine enough for that purpose. It looked somewhat weird in a way which set it nicely apart from the earlier eras. The two-hundred-year-old ships fighting outside the window were silly though. They should have only used the Dauntless model for that, if there was no time or resources to make new models.
I agree, unless the galaxy has suffered some sort of dark age regression, prior to Procyon V and there simply haven't been many new ships built apart from Enterprise J types, leaving them throwing a boneyard fleet into the fray.
 
Yeah, for all we know the war against the Sphere Builders made the Dominion War look tame by comparison and the attrition on Federation and allied fleets was horrendous, leading to many older ships being brought out of mothballs or even the Fleet Museum and retrofitted with more modern weapons and technology to cope with the Sphere Builders and their own advanced tech. By the ca. 2574 we see in "Zero Hour(ENT)" the Federation could be commanding what amounts to the 26th century equivalent of a WWI mothball fleet pressed into service in the late 1930s.

More like bringing the American Revolutionary War era fleet back to service in 1930s...
 
Might be a good idea to re-design the J, because right now....

:lol:
 
Eh. they had warp drive and heavy weapons that could clearly destroy Sphere Builder ships. An 18th century American field commander wishes he had the Industrial Revolution equivalent of such armaments to use against the forces of the King. ;)
 
That's what I'm saying. I've never liked Klingon ships. They don't look truly alien. Neither did the Klingons themselves for that matter. Discovery is their best iteration yet.
I guess it is nice that someone likes them... The Klingons traditionally have had the best ships of all the alien species in Star Trek. They have had solid, consistent and recognisable aesthetic. Bird of Prey, D7, D5, the Raptor, all great designs.

I personally prefer Romulan or Cardassian ships to Klingon.

DSC was the first time they appeared interesting to me.
