>>52078065
No. Yes. Sort-of. It's from an anthology of emphatically non-canon stories. It was officially published, but none of the stories have ever been considered as canon in any timeline.

The story, as I recall, involves Clone!Kirk and Clone!Picard both chewing out the Milky Way Galaxy at the end for having become complete assholes, which the Milky Way Galaxy is of course forced to admit that it has and change it ways because, well, it was subject to both a Kirk Speech AND a Picard Speech. And I do mean the entire Milky Way; by that point in the story all sapient life in the Milky Way has merged into gestalt consciousness.

It was weird, but fun.

That's not strictly speaking true. Look at her wings. Most Klingon ships have wings the sweep back, ending up further aft than they started. There are notable exceptions. The Nehg'var and BoP.

However the wing shape on the BaSro is much more akin to the Romulan style. More specifically, the raptor class and D'Deridex.

>>52083522
The original designer stated that the round spot on the front of a D-7's command hull was the navigational deflector. This turned into a photon torpedo launcher in the movies. So there are some significant differences. Unfortunately Star Trek canon is leaky and so in the remastered version of ToS the spot is again a photon torpedo tube. So while originally there were significant differences between a D-7 and a K'tinga the difference is mainly appearance now.
>>

This happened with the D'Deridex as well. I suppose we can be thankful that the Starfleet ships didn't end up with that mistake.

It almost did anyways thanks to the IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR tactic from TNG:Best of Both Worlds that got horribly overused in Voyager.
>>
>>52078230
Oh, that's what you meant by smooth. I thought you were referring to the fact that the hull of the baSro' is relatively smooth and free of random jutting out portions.

I'm not against its more rounded shape given what I know about how FTL travel in Star Trek works. "Space is an ocean", basically; you want a ship that cuts through subspace easier.

>>52078159
Those would probably be its shuttles. Though I think there's a bit too much external detail on it.
>>
>>52086117
I think the point he was making was more that, for a Klingon ship, this new design shares a lot of design queues with 24th century Romulan designs.

Could be that it's a joint development of some sort.

>>52094601

In this pic? >>52092805

That's my Paladin (pretending to be its much cooler ancestor, the Ranger) next to the NX (lost against all the lights) hovering above the universe class.

Personally, the "itty-bitty" ships are actually quite large when you put them in human scale. It's just that Trek and by extension STO has gone the "bigger is better!" route for some reason.

Of them all, my favorite is probably the Daedalus.
>>
>>52095500
>It's just that Trek and by extension STO has gone the "bigger is better!"

The series backed down from going ever larger for Star Fleet ships after the Galaxy class. Even going to the point that the Enterprise E was the first Enterprise that wasn't the same size or larger than it's predecessor of the same name. Which was good.
>>
>>52095643

That is a good thing, certainly, but damn if ENT didn't double down on the "the future is fuckhueg!" deal with the J. The calendar or artbook or whatever that showed us the Odyssey class didn't help either.

While I'm not a fan of VOY, I did like that the Intrepid and Nova classes were comfortable sizes.
>>
>>52095686
I can see why ENT did it, I mean making the Enterprise J the size of an original xbox was really just a visually convenient way to show that it's incredibly more advanced than other 'trek ships we've seen as well as fit it's purpose as an apparently intergalactic explorer that may well be required to be a generation/colony ship as well as a fully capable battle/exploration vessel. There's no way a ship like that is getting stuck being Star Fleet's diplomatic envoy bitch like the Enterprise D did.

Star Fleet building whales seems like a trend that really should not come back for a very long time after the Dominion war, I'd expect the Defiant to have a much stronger positive legacy in ship design than the Galaxy following those events.

War losses, a large Federation with a lot to protect, the difficulty in making un-specialised bleeding-edge of tech large ships like the problems the Constitution, Excelsior, possibly Ambassador and absolutely Galaxy had... All of it points to a logical course of developing smaller ships using their technology to make them very good at one thing with a decent amount of capability in other areas (Defiant, Akira, Intrepid, Nova and so on) or a generalist with a bloody great big replaceable equipment module for specialisation (Nebula).
>>
>>52095977

Agreed, mostly. I just have nitpicks.

The Connie wasn't an all-purpose explorer. She was a warship built to fight the Klingons. The Excelsior was both intended to replace the Constitution, and was a testbed for a transwarp system that was a dead end.

The Galaxy though? She was definitely the "does everything, but excels at nothing" starship. The only reason she was excellent during her first decade was because she was ahead of her time.

With some refits and a reorganization of her purpose, the Galaxy would be a fine ship. According to the tech manual, she can produce antimatter on her own (something few if any starships can/could do), her interior sections are modular, and designed to be easily refitted to suit a particular mission, and she can transport a LOT more people than what we saw in the show if they just maximized persons by volume. She was, at the time, Starfleet's fastest starship too, so... the Galaxy isn't a lost cause, but the way we saw her in TNG wasn't utilizing her to her fullest potential.

But, for the amount of energy and materials necessary to build one (let alone crew one), you could probably build half a dozen Akiras.
>>
>>52096162
The Galaxy was designed both in-universe and out-of-universe for a TNG that was unlike the show we got. It was designed to be a multi-year exploration ship that could operate independently without having to go back to starbases for repair and resupply far longer than any other ship ever could. That's why it feels like a cruise liner inside and why there are families on board. Hell, even the bridge looked more like a lounge than an actual bridge in the early concept art.

It makes sense given the time frame. The Klingons had been pacified (and, in the early seasons, had outright joined the Federation before that was retconned), the Romulans were quiet until S1's finale, and there really just weren't any major threats to deal with, so the Federation figured they were fine just shoving out a bunch of massive deep-space exploration vessels. Then the Romulans woke up, the Borg happened, the Klingons got warlike again, the Cardassians got aggressive, the Dominion happened, and so on. Thus the ships were diversified both for in-universe and out-of-universe reasons as Starfleet need to get its stagnant ass back into gear.

Presumably the J was for the same reasons: the Federation had expanded to cover most of the galaxy, no major threats in the Milky Way, so they started churning out massive deep space exploration vessels that could venture out into other galaxies. Then the Sphere Builders happened.
>>
>>52096376

>Sphere Builders happened

ibettheiconiansarebehindthis.png

Apparently, I don't have the reaction image, so we'll have to settle for a filename. But yeah. Recently been rewatching TNG, and it was funny that the early seasons had the Klingons as part of the Federation.

But yes, the Galaxy is a ship designed during peace time, intended for missions of peaceful exploration, diplomatic envoys, colonization, and emergency evacuation.

And it still has enough weapons to make aliens and the amnesiac crew conclude she's a warship.

That concept image though. I'm glad they didn't go with that. It would have been insufferable. More insufferable than Season 1 already is.

Sorry, still salty that the ship of my childhood is so massively expensive I'll never fly it outside of the T1 version. It's not that I couldn't eventually afford it, it's just that spending that kind of money on gambling or spending that kind of time grinding goes against the grain of my personality.

That, and if I am going to spend real money or real time on digital goods, it had better be an account unlock.
>>
>>52097414

Oh, yes. I know the Nova and her predecessor, the Oberth gets flak for being small and potentially a death trap, but they seem like the kind of ship where you could know everyone on a first name basis, and with a good crew where almost everyone gets along, a nice comfy community.

>that bridge

No wonder ol' Matt Jefferies took one look at it and went NOPE. Fucking hell that damn conference table instead of captain's chair... That's just bad set design because it's not even easily accessible let alone failing to give the captain a proper central position.

Even if that table were pop-out of the floor stuff it's not even a good place to have a conference because you've got random low-ranked crew hanging around for shit that might be command staff only, and what're you gonna do, clear the bridge every time you want to discuss high security shit and leave all the controls unmanned?

Fuck, that design makes me angry. Apu yelling at Skinner about Billy and the Cloneasaurus tier angry. It's so fucking bad a design. Fucking BENCHES! Who the hell are they for? Fucking crew families and guests wanna go hang out in the fucking command centre? What kinda horseshit idea leads to equipping the damn bridge of even a fucking cruise liner, let alone one armed to battleship levels with benches for seating tons of random, clearly not-working people?
>>
>>52097509
Probably peter for career advancement aswell. If you're an ensign on a Galaxy or Sovereign class, you're a dime a dozen. The odds that the command staff will notice your accomplishments and promote you are much lower. Unless you save the ship from a disaster of the week, you're going nowhere.

But on a Nova you're basically forced to take on responsibility because the ship is so small and everyone has to pull their own weight. And you'll nearly always be in direct contact and observation by the command staff. Due diligence and subtle but reliable improvisation will get you much farther than having to showboat for the captain.

>>52099297

The Excelsior is the correct answer. I also really like the Vesta- it's a pretty big ship but it still comes across to me as being really comfy.

And then there's the Nebula. Ugly as sin but multifunctional as fuck. It's like some Corellians ended up in our galaxy and got a job with Utopia Planitia.

I'm still not sure if Cryptic intended for Noye to be Future Guy or not.

>It looks like it's only 1 or 2 decks wide on the saucer section so internal space is probably comparable to a Sovereign class.

That's because there's nothing around it for scale. It's supposed to be, like, a couple of miles long, so that razor thing pizza cutter saucer is probably more like 10 or 15 decks minimum. Spacious Galaxy-class decks, not cramped Defiant ones, too.

The Luna is like what happens when a little Miranda wanders around Sovereign territory after dark and nine months later she gives berth. Nebbies are fine if you like fat chicks I guess.

Future Guy will always be a Romulan in my mind; among other things, it explains nicely the Suliban's possession of cloaking devices, and why 22nd century Romulans had them as well: because Future Guy was trying to slow down Earth's development while teching up the Romulans so that they could win the Earth-Romulan War.

I will always, always have a soft spot for the NX class.

Why are there no tv series set in the Trek universe where the protags are the crew of a romulan ship? or klingons? slice of life shit that deals with how crazy the federation is, and internal politics or what have you. There was a TOS novel that was told through the eyes of a Klingon, pre TOS days, The Final Reflection. It was awesome as hell and apparently was the foundation for the FASA Klingons.

Discovery will have a Klingon PoV to the story as well as the Discovery crew.
It might be a little more political than the Starfleet side of things though, since we know one of the Klingon characters wants to unite the Klingon houses and Sarek is involved in the show somehow (he was a major player in the Federation's political dealings with the Klinks).

Welcome to the bridge, with open bar.

>>52104819
Because it got a console that lets you fire some broadside phasers that apparently do some pretty high damage and can be fired while you are firing your regular weapons.
Also it's intel ship, so it has lots of hilariously overpowered skills available to its bridge crew.

Personally, I hate the ship. Hate the movie it came from, hate the universe those movies are set in.

But I have one. And the amount of murderizing it can do is phenomenal. With Kemocite Laced Weaponry I running, it does something like 3-4k damage per hit with BFaW III. And I'm not even using the Intel powers for even more cheese.

I'd rather have something that does comparable damage in a TOS inspired chassis, but I'll Miss Ugly McFuckhuge for now.
>>
>>52110470
Yeah. If kitted properly, it's just about unbeatable in terms of deeps. That said, it is a spacebourne abortion.

>>52110470
>>52110506

I actually think the look of the Vengeance is perfectly fitting. It's ugly and twisted just like Damon Lindelof's writing.
>>
>>52113035

It does fit the narrative of the movie, in that it's a hideous betrayal of everything that Starfleet stands for in visual form.

But it isn't an aesthetically pleasing thing to look at.
