It also shows how the Vulcans did not trust the Humans with their best technologies because of their illogical hostilities with their Andoran neighbors and borderline explosive relationship with the Tellarites. I actually find it kinda' stupid that the Andorans and Tellarites did not form an alliance before the Humans discovered warp speed. The communication speed and time needed were already there. By that time, humans only needed to agree to start contact with them... but the Trekverse needed humans to become the dominant force in the Federation despite having 4 founding species members with Humans being the newest warp-capable species.

The actual ship design of Discovery was based on a model for Star Trek Phase 2 from the 70s, but, yeah, the spore drive was a little much. As for season 3, I think the show has had a consistent issue with the first few episodes of each season being great and then they kinda lose the pace and do a lot of nothing for half the season. On average, I think season 3 may be better than 2, but they both had great starts and then just go on stretching a secondary plot line for half the season and get nowhere with the main story until the last episode (happened with the search for Spock in season 2 and more unnecessary mirror universe stuff in season 3)

I do like the show's version of the NX-01. Doug says it's like the 'ironclads' of the Civil war and I always felt it was more like the first submarines of the 40's vs the new modern subs. The hallways had their support struts visible, where the original Enterprise 1701 looked sleeker, more civilized on the inside, with fewer structural interruptions in the walls and such. The NX didn't have space for all the nice touches, conveniences or aesthetics. And the design did look rushed, as if the engineers hurried that 'First Warp 5 capable' engine and stuffed it into a hull as quickly as they could. Hell, they were still experimenting with transporter technology. They didn't have shields or tractor beams... That would have to be a scarier version of Trek because that ship felt so vulnerable compared to the Constellation class.

The whole of engineering being modular makes a lot of sense. In the Ent era, warp cores weren't really standardized yet (let alone experimental new warp 5+ cores). So you couldn't just pop out a core and slide a new one in. The entirety of the engineering surrounding it would need to be refitted as well. And without a plethora of massive shipyards, it would be a pain to have to build a new ship around them.

Excellent. Btw, you may eventually run into the stories that 1. The actual drawings in early 60s for nuke power ships did have two cells extended from a central body. The enterprise is a spot on factual design. 2. Gene consulted with a vet specific medium to learn about Et organizations which led him to creating the federation of planets.

Loved the pole secret. Makes sense, power is out, and you need to get to engineering.

My problem was the story arcs; I preferred individual shows that may or may not be connected to some other episodes or 2-4 episodes that are a small arc would be fine. I don't want to miss one episode and be lost. I was happy with everything else.

I've always liked the design of the nx-01 and the Akira class. Top 5 probably, maybe top 3.

If they used the pole more often maybe the show wouldn't have been cancelled. Oh, and seeing T'Pol wrapped around a Pole would be great.

The NX-01 is such a beautiful design, the exterior as much as the interior, I've loved it at first sight. Very well done!

Love Doug's full size "Lost In Space Robot". Why don't you guys do a show about him? I love the NX class! It was a tough little ship! Durable, reliable and could be constantly upgraded. Love the fan stories about it's involvement in the Earth-Romulan war. Cudos to Doug Drexler! It was the perfect design for that era of Star Trek. I think the addition of a secondary hull is interesting, but that secondary hull, for me, ruined the ship's entire esthetic beauty and balance.

I spit something out when he said no one would notice using the model. :-) It was in 1 of 2 of the only huge space battles in trek, maybe 3. By now I would have noticed. Thanks for self owning though. Because I didn't know you were an nx-01 hater. Shame.. I always thought the nx was the closest to the real design by Bussard. Where the nacelles are not warp drives. They would be collectors of mostly hydrogen in space. And the nacelle is a factory that processes this material into fusion material. This both powers the impulse drive by fusion, but also provides the reactant plasma used in impulse drives. There's no way no know if this is an efficient design. But it's fun to know we have all the technology to build a ship like this today. Maybe not visually the same but in a smaller scale one that works in exactly the same way. I dig my fantasy. But it's got to have some sci in the fi. So NX represent...ya H8R. :-)

I don't know if its still about because trek stuff seems to come and go as far as availability but there was a great NX01 model kit by Polar Lights which had holes for all the..well... lights, obvs. I just made the model, didn't bother with a light setup but can imagine it would look great with it.

I always thought Starfleet ships were a modular design for the most part. It makes sense considering the roles the ships would be tasked to do. I always wanted to see dual warp cores.

My fav ship in Star trek - 2nd is Discovery. NX-01 makes you feel the environments through size and lower tech, making the perils of space travel more evident.
@fromthedumpstertothegrave36893 жыл бұрын
While the design of discovery makes me wana chuck I agree 100% about the NX 01. I don't know if its true but I heard they took design cues from submarines for the interior to give it that low tech claustrophobic feeling.
