It's 100% one of those situations where it's simpler to just build a new ship. Why would you want the old parts anyway? Build a brand new 4090 gaming PC but keep your CPU from 2010.

The old ship would be most useful as raw matter to feed into replicators.

Not sure if it was Dave Blass or Matalas or someone else, but they basically explained that their logic was the total destruction of Utopia Planitia and the rough two decades Starfleet has weathered in general made them move towards this thing of putting old ships and existing materials to use that in the past they might have simply discarded or fed to a replicator

There's also that bit in the Titan-A bio about how it actually did start out intended to be another Luna-class, but changed enough through the construction process thanks to new tech and design updates that it ended up coming out different enough to the point it became a new class of ship.


It's one of those things where I don't disagree with the logic at all, I'm just not all that much of a fan of how they used it in this case.

(I think the Stargazer situation makes a whole lot less sense than the Titan/E-G personally, which season 3 made even worse!)

The Stargazer situation has been passively retconned by the original Stargazer showing up in the Fleet Museum.

Here's a thought: would it have been better or somehow even worse if instead of the Titan, the hero ship of Season 3 was just the Stargazer again with Shaw replacing Rios as captain and Seven being assigned as his XO, and after a season's worth of adventures and suffering, the Stargazer was renamed the Enterprise-G? Wouldn't that be a more fitting "names still mean something" tribute to Picard?

If it had been the Stargazer it would have been even more obvious that the renaming should have been "USS Picard" rather than Enterprise - it's the ship whose historical importance is that it was Picard's, and it's even part Borg! It's a layup.

Plus Shaw being the chief engineer of the Stargazer promoted to Captain would give him a nice double chip on shoulder against Picard in the season.

Because of how replicators work I just don't feel like this makes sense
It still feels like they're thinking in modern manufacturing terms and not in replicator terms

I'm surprised Lower Decks mocking the whole thing with Captain Freeman trying to figure one out and settling on 'Warp me!' didn't embarrass them into dropping it, but I doubt Matalis has watched LDS.

(Although tbh I've actually kinda gotten used to Warp Me. Even the 'Maximum Warp Me!' during the finale crisis was a YEAH moment)
