Yeah I don’t know if we ever see where those emergency or magnet handles are stored. Regardless it sounds like a fire hazard. Ans I don’t think the Enterprise’s children are going to figure that poo poo out and get to an escape pod.

Maybe the pumps are only needed for secure doors.

I mean, in a proper evacuation they would open all doors (after testing for pressure differential) and there would be handy little lights indicating the evac routes and all of this would be on an independent backup system but guys I have something I've been meaning to tell you: Star Trek is just a TV show.

I’m so close to liking this, but it needs a few tweaks. Maybe slightly shorter nacelles and a wider dish? Kinda want to see JJ versions of the other ships.

The larger question is what JJverse ships would look like 75+ years past the events of those films. For some reason I'm envisioning a lot of triangles

I love their reactions to 20th century Earth because it really does beat in that most other planets have a handful of people living in tiny villages. You thought that the confined "city" sets they would visit in TOS were a production limitation? Nope, every other planet just involves small groups of people wandering around on foot and they can't deal when they visit an actual city.

The last one looks like an in-between frame for going to warp! Why is it so looooong? It has four nacelles, is it a space dragster?

We'll have to wait another 10 years or so for the JJ TNG movies if we want to follow the same arc as the originals. Then it'll be whatever looks futuristic to us in the late 2020s.

Whenever I see those STO pics pop up in the thread, I get super nostalgic for my teenage days spent messing around with Bridge Commander mods:      Also Jupiter v1, if anything, feels more appropriate to the Trek aesthetic given that it looks like a goddang cruise ship

I actually kind of like the Ajax, I think it looks like a reasonable evolution of the Defiant, and if it weren't for the speed hole I could believe the Scryer as an evolution of the Miranda. The Eclipse and Aquarius, though, are just plain weird.

The Eclipse, Scryer and Phantom are experimental intelligence division stealth ships. They're better in their Starfleet hulls but still dumb. Fortunately, the game never went back to that look. The Ajax is one of three Fed 'pilot' ship variants, which are basically Defiants with an emphasis on maneuvers. I really like them as that, especially since you can mix-n-match parts and hull colours and stuff to make your preferred look.

Q_res posted:They're, at best, inconsistent on this point. The Federation can definitely do energy-matter conversion. So the way I reconcile it is, DS9 has waste reclamation because it only has a fusion reactor. Straight matter-energy conversion is simply too power intensive if you don't have a full-on warp core. I figured it was there so the Cardassians could make the Bajorans drink their own recycled piss. Eiba posted:Enterprise season 3 maybe. Did you watch past episode 3 of Discovery? The whole point was that people can be poo poo, but we can and should rise above that. Rising above that in this case means handing a bomb capable of destroying an entire planet to a violent cult leader.

It looks like a big shoe, but I really took a shine to is as an "alternative" Starfleet design.

Marshal Radisic posted:I always thought the Scryer looked more like an evolution of the Luna class, but with all the separate components of the ship melted together and combined from that science ship concept from the cancelled early version of the game. The Luna's not an official design, mind. Like the Vesta, it's a ship that's popped up a lot in the Star Trek EU but has never actually appeared in a show or movie. I thought the Oracle in STO was meant to be a modern take on the Oberth - it bears a distinct family resemblance. Interesting note on that point, the Oberth class is supposed to be officially retired by the time of Voyager. The USS Equinox was going to be an Oberth class until the producers nixed that idea, saying the Oberth was too old and would have been phased out of service by now (Oberths notably never appear in the Dominion War on DS9). The Nova class was designed as a replacement - a small, cheap, short-range science vessel for low-priority missions safely inside Federation space.

Delsaber posted:Season 2 is rough. Of the episodes in front of you, Cease Fire, Judgement, and First Flight are mostly good. I remember people really liking Cogenitor when it aired but I don't know how well it holds up now. Future Tense has a couple fun TOS callbacks but it's still a time war episode and those are never great. Shouldn't Trip have learned his lesson after he got knocked up by that amphibian lady? I guess this time it worked out okay, but my God he just started kissing this alien babe on that planet. You don't know how her species fucks, Trip, what if she lays her eggs in your throat?
