The Bloop posted:I assume they wouldn't reuse a registry/name for a ship that was LOST lost rather than verifiably destroyed lost Yeah, that'd be pretty embarrassing, getting called up by Admiral Paris like six months out of spacedock and he's like "Ummm, we need you to report to Starbase 12 for a quick refit and recommission. Turns out we were a little too quick on that whole NCC-74656-A thing. Good news though, you're going to be the new USS Sao Palo!"

Ships named Voyager keep stumbling rear end-backwards into random time travel poo poo to the point where somehow we've got five of them stuck here at once and rather than even try to untangle their messes we're just gonna keep them all in service and pretend nothing happened

Powered Descent posted:It's important to remember that the "post-scarcity" of the Federation does have limits. In particular, replicators may be extremely useful but they aren't magic. There were occasional mentions of industrial replicators, but for the most part they were used only on a small, personal scale -- food, clothing, handheld objects. They don't replicate starships. They don't have, say, huge replicators constantly spitting out millions of gallons of water to make an artificial river. When post-occupation Bajor was going hungry, they didn't just give everyone a replicator and call it done, they used heavy equipment to fix their farmland and get their agricultural sector going. And all those freighters coming and going at DS9 were hauling things in bulk -- whatever they were carrying, it was presumably infeasible for it to just be replicated at the destination instead. I'm not the kind of nerd who has done a deep dive into star trek tech lore but from my understanding the replicators still need two inputs: molecules and energy, and the closer the input molecules are to the final desired product, the less energy they need to generate it. So if you can feed them organic carbon chains and compost, making food is kinda trivial, but to generate complicated alloys or starship parts from dirt and rocks takes more energy than conventional production even though it is technically possible. In voyager replicator use is rationed and in lower decks they recent gave the LD crew access to more complicated replicator programs previously restricted to bridge crew. pile of brown fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Oct 12, 2021 |

To add to that, replicators on ships are used a lot because A. You are on a ship in space and can't get things other ways B. There's a warp core down the hallway providing poo poo tons of energy They're probably less frequently used planetside because there's less need and also fewer massive energy sources per capita

A starship uses a limited energy source with a finite fuel tank. A planet is sitting right next to a giant fusion reactor a hundred thousand times its mass!

Don’t starships use fusion generators for energy generators and the warp drive doesn’t actually provide power outside of the engine?

Star Trek's been very consistent from the start that all of the Starfleet ships have real life nav lights, from the original TOS Enterprise all the way through to the Enterprise-E and the JJTrek reboots. One thing Lower Decks gets wrong that they just have random scatterd lights instead of red on port and green on starboard. Disco screws it up too.

Nitrousoxide posted:Don’t starships use fusion generators for energy generators and the warp drive doesn’t actually provide power outside of the engine? Depends on the writer, but yes, usually. We've seen several times now that an ejected warp core ≠ the ship losing power. It's probably a matter of "well, the warp core puts out a massive amount of energy just doing nothing, so why NOT hook up a few systems to it?"

I would imagine it varies depending on what the ship is doing. If it's at sublight the fusion drives are busy powering the impulse engines so everything runs off the warp core, and vice versa. Some throttling to mix the two depending on what's drawing the most power.

I have to say I think this is exactly the kind of ship you wouldn't build in Starfleet. It's an 80-year old hull form that's presumably not set up to efficiently use modern engines. It's an Earthican design and it's big so there's no argument for smaller alien yards being able to build it. There's a ton of reasons that modern warships don't look like 1920s designs, and you'd expect similar space reasons to apply in space. If you were looking to build an Excelsior replacement in the 2380s it would probably not look like an Excelsior.

Wikipedia posted:The B-52 completed 60 years of continuous service with its original operator in 2015. After being upgraded between 2013 and 2015, the last airplanes are expected to serve into the 2050s.

https://twitter.com/MikeMcMahanTM/status/1425275424670576642 tl;dr 535 is much too large and makes all the other ships in the show gigantic.  Notice the enormous luxury suite windows on the Cerritos at this scale.   SCALE AND SCALE - WHAT IS SCALE Matching window heights yields a more reasonable size for the Cerritos and the Parliament class.

Yeah, it's just a a normal Cardassian filtered through 20 years of advancement in the field of special effects prosthesis. Compared to some of Discovery's other liberties taken with Legacy Trek aliens its fine.
