If you want a better look at the ship, here is the clip with the pan from the end of the episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpPAH2kqnFs Looks like it might have a transparent viewscreen. Other than that and the holes in the nacelle pylons, I like it as an updated design.

Just to flip the whole issue on its head, the Armada III team is still at work on the first installment of their Ages of the Federation mods, which is set around the same time as Discovery and deals with the Federation-Klingon conflict, along with some appearances from the Romulans and an as-yet-unnamed forth race. However, being the lovable nerds they are, they've decided to stick to a mixture of the aesthetics of Enterprise and the Pike-era Enterprise, even going so far as to TOSify the designs from Axanar and Discovery they're including. They've also revealed the time periods each mod will be focusing on: after the pre-TOS Federation-Klingon War, they'll do a proper TOS/Movie era mod, an early 24th century one focusing on the breakdown of relations between the Federation and Romulans that led to the Tomed Incident in 2311, and finally one set just before the start of TNG depicting the Federation-Cardassian border war. EDIT: They have some pictures of their revamped designs. The first is for the Crossfield class, the class the Discovery hails from:  And the second is for the Klingon sarchophagus ship, which now actually looks like a Klingon ship.

so we have to assume that if all klingons are double-dicked, then tyler must remember having two dicks how strange it must be for him to inhabit a singled dicked body.

If it's a klingon ship why isn't it black and covered in spikes?

Arglebargle III posted:If it's a klingon ship why isn't it black and covered in spikes? Because that's never been their aesthetic. Klingons are all about brown and grey surfaces with red lighting, usually with a very industrial and utilitarian aesthetic. Their ships are not comfortable, luxurious, or ornate - they are brutally functional warships and nothing more.

I'm just like, yo, what the gently caress are they doing in that single long flat deck with the armor plating on it? Is that where they store the explosions? My precious Excelsior baby also had a protruding deck but at least that seemed connected to a fat hangar/cargo bay, with the rest of the ship otherwise being relatively condensed while keeping the saucer/belly/nacelles style.

McSpanky posted:I found a pretty cool updated design I always liked Vektor's actual modified updated version. (First two are from the WIP)      Even though it was done about a decade ago and CG and materials have come a long way since then, so it could probably look a lot more realistic now. (Which I know it'd have to for a design like this to be used; it's still far too basic for modern TV, sadly) Last I saw he was going more passes to add cool poo poo like modelled gridlines but never finished.

So is Roddenberry obsessed with god like beings, and planets that are gardens of eden? Halfway through TOS now and it feels like every other episode. That’s not even including all the TNG episodes that fit that episode type.

That’s not even including all the TNG episodes that fit that episode type. The short answer is yes, but then it was also a sign of the times. In the 50s and 60s, a lot of American science fiction was trying to reconcile Christianity with the Atomic Age; science had just given us the means to destroy our planet, so the question arose of whether we should have let things reach that point and what this meant to our collective conscience. The Garden of Eden represents the loss of innocence, so it got brought up a lot. Confronting godlike beings was more exclusive to Roddenberry, though.

Interesting stuff, a memo was just unearthed containing the original non-Roddenberry TNG pitch from 1986. It would have involved a ship called the USS Odyssey fighting in a new Klingon war, an amputee first officer, a Klingon exchange officer serving on board, and a captain who dies in the pilot and lives on as a hologram. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FolLXCKtHeTvbkGnJ5dyjmH60KKQb9HE/view
