USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

We saw the Defiant first but the Akira looks very similar to the Galaxy and Nebula so I put it there instead. As for the Olympic, we saw one during Voyager, and it doesn't look like it fits with the subsequent designs.
 
Have you seen this? The bridge looks very TOS-like but uses the more modern, DSC designs.
No, I hadn't seen that before. Doesn't look bad — certainly better than the bridges we've seen in DSC so far — with a couple of caveats that also apply to the other bridges from the show. One: why is the lighting so low? Two: what's with all the surplus real estate on the outer walkway ring? A starship bridge shouldn't look cavernous... it should look like a space where people can actually work routinely and efficiently.

What Voyager episode? I missed that one during the last rewatch.
 
Olympic, we saw one during Voyager,
Where? Memory-Alpha says the class only appeared in All Good Things.

There is a possible Olympic class on one of the Defiant's computer screens in 'Sacrifice of Angels'

The Olympic class was only seen as the Pasteur in "All Good Things," but a graphic of it was seen in DS9's "Sacrifice of Angels," which would put the design at least from the 2370's. However the 5XXXX registry could also potentially make it even older; a contemporary to the Wolf 359 kitbash ships, which were built even before the Enterprise-D in the 2360's.
 
The show started in May 2256
May 11th 2256 -- a Sunday.

Burnham was in prison for six months, so she gets out some time in November. She serves at least two months on Discovery since it's mentioned they are eight months into the conflict by the time they get to Pahvo (and the party she attends in "Magic" is probably a new years' eve party) so the Pahvo storyline is probably in January of 2257.

We don't know how long they spend in the MU -- at least a couple of days, maybe a week -- but they arrive in the Prime Universe nine months later. That would put "Take my Hand" in September or October of 2257.

They returned 9 months from the time they entered the MU, or nine months in the future from the time they left the MU?

Hard to say, but i'm not sure it makes a difference. They were only IN the mirror universe for about a week or two, so the latest they could have returned was late October 2257.
 
The pylons are the only part I openly don't like (though I get the feeling the trapezoidal bridge window won't sit well with me, either, but at least that's a future spasm of Nerdrage and not an immediate concern). The impulse deck doesn't bother me at all, really, because the TOS Enterprise had no fewer than three different impulse engine configurations over the course of 80 episodes and I imagine impulse engines can even be modular in design depending on the class of ship, with one deck easily sliding out of the primary hull and being replaced by a new one that then locks into place with existing power systems and onboard circuitry. This impluse deck is at some point replaced by the one seen in "Where No Man Has Gone Before (TOS)."
79 TOS you are good
 
Back in business with image hosting. The cubeupload site seems to be down completely at the moment, but I found another good one that will hopefully stay up.

So here is Ricky Wallace's USS Constellation that he posted in early 2010:

It's nice, but I'm not seeing any real similarities with the Discoprise beyond what any artist drawing from the same source material would independently come to. This is pretty much a mash up of the Kelvin, TOS Enterprise and TMP Enterprise.

Most modernised/reimagined Enterprises come out looking pretty similar, which is why the Ryan Church design was a really striking departure from what everyone expected. Love it or loathe it! It's also why the Gabe Koerner ship got passed off as the new Enterprise for a while.
 
Well the Kelvin 1701-A sure didn't fix them. The pylons are way too wide at the base. I find that design very disappointing.

Nah, only the Beyond one is ugly. The 2009 one is a thing of beauty.

Well, that's a complete 180 for me. When I wrote those posts I only had seen the short scene from Beyond, and perhaps a few so-so fan models. But having seen Nightfever's ship (which is accurate; he says he based it on the orthos of the actual model; he's spoken to the people who made it), I find myself liking the 1701-A more and more, until the point where now I prefer it to the 2009 one. Life is strange sometimes.

In fact, I'd love for someone to take Nightfever's model and swap it for the 1701-A at the end of The Voyage Home.
