Star Trek: Inside the USS Discovery

[@MidnightSt]

I love the literal half screen cutaway view, but I must admit I miss the full deck layouts. Those communicate the size of the ships much better. Your video about Galaxy and NX-01 which has them is amazing, it explains very well how and why the inside looks basically like a huge office building interior.

One thing to clarify: the two rings on the saucer section don’t rotate (look at the deck windows on the edges when the ship is getting ready to jump; they stay where they are), just the top and bottom surfaces.

And that makes it better how? It's still an unbecoming gimmick unfit to sit alongside proper Starfleet vessels.

I guess they wanted to give the ship a different design from Starfleet's traditional design.

[@RoySATX]

​@@Halfscreen Or they had total disregard for half a century of world building and little respect for an entire fleet of ships that had come before. It's one thing to break canon, this was firing upon it with a canon. But, hey, SS was finally forced into diversity having shunned it for so long.

[@coloradobrad6779]

3:00 Great comparison and excellent video. So many people gripe about the newer ships don’t fit with cannon design. Counterpoint: airplanes/ships. All different designs, power systems, function, and form. Built in different eras by different interplanetary designers and teams. Of course every single era will be different. Of course there are Oberth classes around over 200 years. Those wooden sailing ships still can sail and original bi planes still fly.

[@mikkpunning5702]

I'd say it's more realistic, than whatever was shown in that one turbo lift scene. It's looks like something extrapolated from TNG manuals. I will convince myself that the turbo lift scene happened during a time, when it was still going trough upgrades and the interior was cleared. One line of dialogue could have actually fixed that.

[@jordonnardino6253]

hi, love your videos. i wrote for discovery and they retconed the size of the enterprise / constitution class, to make it larger. this was because the canonical size of the constitution class didn't allow for realistic / accurate internal modeling and window size, whereas on disco they had 3d renders of each ship, and the curve of the hallways and size of the windows actually matched the ship's shape, allowed for 3d zoom ins from space into windows, etc. according to the blueprints i have from my time there, disco / crossfields are 746.3' wide and 2462.4' long, which is close to yours, tho mine might be width at saucer and not nacelles. and the enterprise is 660" wide and 1575" long, which is considerably larger than the canonical dimensions pre-disco and is closer in size to the crossfields. and the ISS charon was a whopping 31549.3 feet long.

[@alternative915]

[@auturgicflosculator2183]

Makes perfect sense given the ship height quoted here. Unfortunately for my brain that height being correct would make the ship about the size of a Sovereign class, which seems a tad insane... I was sort of picturing Discovery as being vaguely Excelsior-sized, and hoping to have my bias confirmed here. It has not been. :P

[@amcaesar]

This channel is wonderful.

[@TrentonBennett]

Nice presentation. I will say that the interior or the Discovery what we saw on screen is just all sorts of messed up. Especially the turbolift system. For the overall design of the ship it hasn't been one I've cared for very much.

[@Halfscreen]

Totally agree. I was lucky enough to find enough of the schematic to make the 3D model, which was only based on 2 drawings, hence, why I only model the cross-section only, and not the deck-to-deck like usual.

[@balrighty3523]

Agreed. I’m fairly sure the turbolift system is in an extradimensional space (which helps with freeing up space inside the ship that might otherwise have been dedicated to turbolift shafts, but at the cost of a turbolift potentially needing to travel a couple of miles when the real distance is a few hundred feet).

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

And looking at the view screen of the Discovery reminds me of the view screen of the J.J. Abrams Enterprise where it looks like an oversized viewport and you can see the ships name and registry number on the hull outside.

[@Halfscreen]

[@christophermckeever4760]

newer trek shows seem to put less effort into the ships, which is weird given how the fanbase has always been obsessed with the ships and how they work. That being said, I don't see why the discovery itself has been so hated. I think it's a gorgeous ship, and when people say it doesn't look like a Star Trek ship, I don't understand, because it's literally based on a 1970s concept for the refit enterprise. I think where it really falls apart is with the background or side character ships. why are there so few closeup shots of new designs? that's part of the fun of trek. the Zheng-he is one of the ugliest and most unfinished ships I've seen in the series outside of kit bashes.

[@Halfscreen]

As a designer, I don't have a issue with the design, if anything, I kind of like it for its unique design , but you have a valid point. Newer ship schematics are very basic and not as details as older generation vessels.

[@josephtracey4411]

It was based on concept art that was rejected back in the 70's, and for good reason. The show itself sucks because of the writing/writers...

[@RoySATX]

@@josephtracey4411 It sucks because it tried too hard to make Star Trek woke when, in fact, Star Trek has never been asleep. Star Trek has always included diverse characters, human and otherwise, and had done so as a matter of fact, respectfully, and not to pander. Nichelle didn't pander, Uhura was written and acted as a respected and valued member of the bridge crew and that is how the viewing audience accepted her. It was only political in Hollywood. Even the "notorious" kiss between Kirk and Uhura was completely accepted by the American audience, it was only a controversy in Hollywood behind the scenes. It's not the viewers that need to be preached at by woke Hollywood, it's woke Hollywood who needs to accept they are not morally better than us. And I am saying this as a gay person, Discovery was pandering and a disgrace. They used gay characters as political pawns to try to shame a viewership that doesn't deserve shaming. Hollywood needs to clean their own houses before telling the rest of America to clean ours; It is them who refused to be inclusive for decades, it was Hollywood who allowed Harvey Weinstein to prey on women, they have no business telling us we are the bigots when they have time and again proven themselves to be just that.

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

There's a little bit of an issue with a sort of visual reboot. Discovery, being so much bigger than other ships, and looking so much more futuristic, clashes quite starkly with a lot of what we'd been shown. I'm not suggesting that it should look like the 1960s sets, but quite a lot of people felt that there wasn't much effort at making it part of the same universe. The design isn't bad, but it felt a bit like long term fans were told to shut up and that what came before didn't matter.

[@christophermckeever4760]

Nice to see it explained why the empty space and rotating saucer sections. This wasn't a ship with a propulsion system added like warp nacels , it was an entire propulsion system, with a ship built around it. Makes discovery an entire engineering marvel having to dedicate the outer saucer section to run the spore drive.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

I feel like it works on the same principal as a stargate, Where each individual section locks into specific coordinates in spacetime.

[@langm1701]

The canon reason for the spinning is to create centripetal force to stabilize the ship during a spore jump. I assume it makes sense because I doubt normal RCA thrusters would be fast enough to stabilize the ship if needed for a jump as fast as that.

I agree! She was way ahead of her time. Not only is it good that she jumped into the 32nd Century to escape control, but Discovery was also a threat to the entire Alpha Quadrant if she fell into Klingon hands.

[@davidmaestas2915]

I completely agree. The Spore Drive seems like it would come way later in Trek. Post-Voyager. Possibly a Star Trek:Picard-era achievement. I'm writing a Trek-flavored campaign for my D&D gaming group, and in my Trek narrative, the Spore Drive is discovered in 2388 by accident, and not put into full operation until 2392. And the Discovery-era Starfleet is a 2390s aesthetic, with a few modifications.

[@balrighty3523]

I’m still not clear on why the ship needed to go into the future. The first season established the Discovery can spore-jump anywhere in the universe it wants and can even go to another universe instead (with the implication that all universes were accessible as well). So given the ability to park the Discovery 50 galactic diameters away in any direction they pick (a distance the Section 31 ships would never be able to reach before running out of fuel and/or dilithium), why was “go to the future” their only option?

[@Alig74656]

It is all to do with the Sphere data they collected in the episode 'An Obol for Charon' where the Sphere that was around 100,000 years old containing information so valuable and complex, so some back story first, at some point in the future a system known as 'Control' made by Starfleet, is an AI that was meant to be made to do threat analysis for Section 31. Long story short at some point Control becomes self aware and takes over Lieutenant Commander Airiam and attempts to give Control information about AI gathered by the Sphere. Control can use this information to literally wipe out all life within the known Galaxy and the crew of the USS Discovery decides the information contained within the Sphere can not be allowed in the hands of Control OR anything similar so they decided to delete the Data, this fails due to the Sphere data being aware of itself and takes measures to stop the deletion for self preservation. Next idea was to blow up Discovery in order to obliterate the Data instead, so the whole crew was transfered over to the USS Enterprise which attempts to destroy Discovery, only to find the Sphere Data took over certain parts of the ship and raised shields to protect itself. It was concluded they could not transfer, delete or destroy the Sphere Data so they had to keep it away from Control to prevent it from coming back in time to collect the data and wipe out all life hence take the ship beyond Controls reach which in this case was 900 years in the future since no were in the Galaxy is safe. Now to address why going to the future was the only option is 1. The Spore Drive CAN NOT travel across the universe, only the Galaxy at this point in time due to Stamets saying when reaching the outer edges of the Galaxy the mycelial network begins to thin out when reaching the Galactic barrier which is why they could not jump outside the Galaxy to locate species 10c. So it would appear that the mycelial network only exists within the Galaxy or Galaxies but not the space inbetween. 2. Another universe. Although this is possible it is not in no way RECOMMENDED, when Stamets did that the first time he went into a somewhat vegetated state and was half stuck in the mycelial network, plus he was not able to fully navigate through it causing them to arrive back 10 months later, meaning he may not be fully in control as to which universe they may end up in, and for all we know they will end up in one that is run by Klingons or even Control so not really an option. However option 3. With Time travel this serves two purposes, it not only means they will be out of reach of Control to prevent it from optaining the info and not know where Discovery has gone, it always means when they go to the future and detect lifesigns they know their mission to travel into the future has worked in stopping Control. Hopefully this helps haha

I'm not sure if anyone answered this, but what is the deal with the huge open interior where the turbolifts fly around attached to nothing like you see in the last couple of episodes of the third season where Michael and Book are getting into fights with the syndicate lackeys. It looks like the entire interior of the ship is hollow and important stations are in "pods" that are accessed with the flying turbolifts. Even with the size of the ship, the absolutely enormous interior with nothing but open space in it and unattached turbolifts seems a little too much, especially when looking at this cutaway. I also looked back in the earlier episodes before the time jump and that huge interior was there too. It wasn't a 32nd Century super technology upgrade. That kind of pushes my suspension of disbelief to the extreme. Anyone have an explanation, I'd like to know.

Even if spinning is part of the Spore Drive, the main disc can still be a structurally sound, hard to cripple solid disc with the drive parts inside that spins and won't fly off the heckin' ship the first time something damages it significantly.

You forgot the Turbolifts. 90% of Discoverys interior must consist of Turbolifts. Or the ship is like Tardis: Bigger on the inside than from the outside.

[@Halfscreen]

Well, the schematic didn't really showed the turbolifts based on the series.

[@tobias1170]

@@Halfscreen And this ist only one of so many illogicalties in this series...

[@Halfscreen]

@@tobias1170 I think this is why the schematic was very, very basic.

[@adamgrog9614]

dont forget they once ejected the horizontal warp core vertically and through at least 25 decks....

[@JezOnYT88]

Are we going to talk about the stupid space for the turbolifts in season 3?

[@ronbearden935]

Discovery is an amazing engineering feet. Such an awesome ship

[@anthonyb5279]

NOOOOO!!!!!!!! Disco is bad. NOOOO!

[@holaktal1778]

I don't pretend to say anything bad but discovery doesn't jump only 90 light year. In the series they told all the time that they could bring them anywhere in the universe.

DSC is for me no canon. Nothnig does fit. As an reboot it will be aczeptable for me.

[@adsheff]

I agree. I see it as non-Star Trek. They took the name and a few of the ideas and that's all.

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

I didn't much care for the strange turbolift roller coaster arrangement. I think i prefer your way of having actual decks.

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

Good vid considering the limited interior information and cutaways that have so far being released. Visuals are great, the ship looks very sleak! I notice elsewhere in this comments section that you say you redesigned the Bridge a bit. Did you also move it up a deck to avoid the infamous "Bridge window"? I've never been a fan of having a large physical window at the front of the Bridge but it is a pretty well known feature of this design, so stood out to me that you had avoided this! 😉

[@Halfscreen]

Couldn't agree more! Information regarding the ship was basic at best, I have noticed newer tv series lack good schematic.

[@samwalker8893]

Im sorry BUT spore ops on the bridge. It’s entirely hidden in its own room with the controls there, thats why they need to manually speak to stammets rather then conn engaging, the idea being it was totally and utterly covert and experimental. The blue alert is the ONLY reference or indicator outside the spore room

[@Killerspieler0815]

you placed the impulse engines wrong ...

[@skapunkoialternativeliving6522]

How does it rotate you never showed us how the sorcerer rotated with people inside it

[@Halfscreen]

Yeah, that the spinning part made no sense.

[@lawrencemanning]

It’s clockwork don’t you know? A giant space pixie winds the motor then it goes spiny spin spin. PS. Please stick to decent shows.

@@lawrencemanning Well, it is really based on fans' suggestions, my channel isn't based if fans hating the series or not. Trying to be objective.
