squished in between the saucer and nacelle I suppose.

considering how they design ships, I would guess that is some kind of light attack craft. the science vessels are usually very goofy and over designed looking, but at least they look like a complete ship.

Take this ship, hollow out the sphere where you can slide the nacelle through with some extending front and aft, and leave a bit of a buffer ring around the separation of the "donut hole" and the nacelle. Add a deflector dish to the sphere so it looks like the death star. It would still look better than Discovery, whoever designed that model should get shot.

nah, I've seen it as well, even had autistic arguments about it with some CBS shill over at halfchan who tried to convince me TNG was as blue as STD. But yeah, it's a fucking bad tone of blue as well, very bright and shit. The ships look weird both inside and outside, you never get a good sense of what the ship actually looks like. I'm guessing they're trying to invoke to current understanding of what the future's colour palette will look like but didn't get the memo of blues and oranges (that one shows up in external shots a lot as well) being an overdone concept. Also, because they chose the most sickly tone of blue as well, every white person on the show looks pasty as fuck, especially the fat ginger.

Yeah come to think of it, Ginger engineer, gay engineering man and MadBoi Lorce all seemed quite pale.I mean they are all decently light-skinned actors but even then, it was quite strange. Also as one anon said, they should have followed the example of ENT and gone with retro-futurism: perhaps keeping the analog stuff but updating it with modern effects techniques.

I forget how the argument started, but basically some guy went out of his way to pull up screenshots of scenes from TNG that featured blue colours. This was his proof that the tone and brightness of the blues there was the same as in STD. I wasn't the only one to point out what a retard he was and how it wasn't similar at all, but he didn't seem to get it.

>I mean they are all decently light-skinned actors but even then, it was quite strange

it didn't pop out as much with Lorca since I guess Isaacs has the dark hair to off-set it or because of his age (meaning the wrinkles) means he doesn't look as pasty. Also they often showed him in a darker setting because MIRROR UNIVERSE TWIST. But it truly was really bad with the Ginger. I don't think she's particularly attractive anyway, so putting her in an incredibly unflattering lighting was insane. Some anon once pointed out to me the blues and darker tones of STD compliment the colouring of a darker skinned person better, so we theorized they only thought about Michael and how she would look.

Remind me, why is the crew module supposed to be sphere or saucer shaped? Most of the Fed ship design principles have some justification behind them.

>nacelles have to be offset from the hull with pylons because spacetime distortion

>nacelles have to have a clear line of sight forward because bussard ramscoops

>the crew module and engineering module are separate because you want the warp core as far as possible from everything else

The only thing I can think of is that it was an outgrowth of some centrifugal artificial gravity system. But even ENT had magic grav plating.

In general, it's better for spacecraft to be spherical or cylindrical because sharp corners and edges are much more liable to hull breaches in the even of extreme pressure differential. No I don't think the designers were thinking of this but it werks if you don't think about it too hard.

>double post - thread doubly-resurrected?

to your point, though, i always felt that the distinctive hull and nacelle ribbing subverts any comparison to bottles and cans and lends it more of an industrial 55-gallon drum look. Had Enterprise been intended to be a darker, grittier series, the producers might have let the creative staff use the design. I'm not a huge fan of grimdark, but if that's what it took, it would have been worth it. They should have pitched a refit later in the series that would replace the sphere with a saucer like pic related. That would have been a good compromise and an canon-friendly evolution of design.

>>25182

I despise all these pointless "sleek" and overly-elongated ship designs that blend the primary and secondary hulls… goes back to Voyager in the early 90's, but that design at least had an in-universe rationale since the ship was designed to enter a planet's atmosphere. These others from the 00's onward just look like stubby tadpoles or spermatozoa.

>psychotic sociopathic redhead who considers herself to be the defacto leader in every situation. she thinks she's some kind of genius

Funny thing Janeway is the ONLY ST captain that is reasonable and a great diplomat (more on this later).

All the rest are a screaming bold madman who contradicts himself every time he speaks, Mr. we wuz kangs in space first, a 1960s chauvinist who never engaged in any diplomacy.

The rest are complete disasters.

>she can't figure out how to deal with the kazon or vidiians

Umm what?

1) Shooting them is a way" to deal with them"

2)kazon or vidiians are basically extremely hostile savages in space who can not be negotiated with.

You can equally demand for someone to engage in rational discussion with some Mad MAx warlord.

The warlord wants everything you have and if you don't give it to him he will send his men after you to take all your stuff by force.

I really love for you to explain how to deal with the kazon in your opinion if you are in her position, and don't make the kazon completely OOC.

While SFdebri is funny in making his basement hobo abridged Voyager, like every abridged series the characters are exaggerated or act completely differently, while funny it dose not make for valid criticism.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPyjew-Ny9w

https://youtu.be/hxdkaAoYkzs?t=3m28s

Now let me show you why Janeway is the best (shown to the audience) diplomat in all of star trek best example:

http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Prime_Factors_(episode)

Watch this and tell me what Janeway did wrong here, other captains would be shit throwing spasticks at this point and behave like apes.

The episode is completely understandable to the audience.

Aliens have a technology that can transport a great distance.

The crew wants to get home.

This is understandable to the audience (unlike when the writers decide to make something that relies on things the characters know however the audience has no idea what it is all about).

The aliens have their own version of the prime directive that forbids them from giving this technology.

Janeway really behaves like a real diplomat in her actions.

She tries to bergen for this technology

>Can you really not give it to us?

>How about we promise that after reaching our destination we destroy the technology?

Now the crew is on the other side of the prime directive and Janeway points this out respectful to the crew (other captains would be screaming and insane at this point demanding this tech now or screaming insane slogans).

Janeway points out that they already transported 1 of her crew, the question is why not transport their ship.

This is logical and understandable for the audience.

Janeway finds out that the aliens love new stories; basically allusion for the fact that everything in the federation is in the public domain and nothing is copyrighted while the aliens have extensive super copyright. This would be the equivalent of the USA offering every single music peace from its records to some aliens some rich and worth billions intellectual property.

So Janeway uses it to try to soft bribe the aliens, she is nice to the alien leader.

The crew finds out that the alien government has no intentions of ever transporting them so they try to get a black market deal behind Janeway.

Janeway relishes that the aliens will never transport them and aggressively tells them this to the alien leaders face.

This is the only un-diplomatic moment Janeway has here, however I say she is justified (shes not a trained professional diplomat) and its understandable for the audience.

Then the episode concludes like on the wiki.

Can anyone name 1 (ONE) example of any other federation officer behaving like she in this episode or better? This is the best diplomacy an logical behavior of any federation captain.

The only counter to this I have seen is:

>LOL the episode is gay and boring LEL

And this is not a argument you want to show why she is supposed to be the worst or the most psychotic then show it. Because at this point she is the best and most consistent diplomatic character of all the captains.

yup. this is what a CGI-heavy Star Trek prequel should have been… not the Enterprise we got.

Now "darker" shit is played-out, but not in the late 00's around when BSG happened…

As soon as the producers over-ruled all the original design pitches and demanded they use the Akira-class design, they should have just rebelled and insisted the show be set post-Voyager.

Daudalus would have worked. I like the giant golfball myself. Still overall the design in Enterprise was brilliantly done making things look as if they were developing from modern to the TOS era. I don't think ST fans give it the appreciation it deserves. Daudalus also wouldn't have looked very cool in space battles. It's not a sleek design, but if I was in charge I'd had gone with it and made the show less fantasy adventure and more harder sci fi like what birthed ST to begin with.

IIRC it was, except they used it in the damn pilot. The whole "no transporter" thing got rrally cheapend when, as the show went on, the aversion to the transporter disappeared and they started using it like they did before: "buwh what abuh da transporder?" - "<Insert excuse here>".

>Because it felt really off and uneven that they had god damn matter to energy teleporters already, yet no force-fields, tractor beams, or quick decontamination processes yet

I kinda got it: taking apart molecules and sending it as in a directed stream using a (giant fucking) laser pointer. Basically an IP datastream, each molecule is packed with a checksum and a sequence number.

Wherever the giant fucking laser pointer was pointed, the molecules reassemble around. The giant fucking laser pointer reads a feedback and it reads back the checksum that reassembled.

Before the buffer in the ship purges whatever was transported, it resynthezises and resends some molecules (but it can't do everything again without what actually got scrambled, which is how they sometimes lose people or things as they can't completely synthesize everyone of their molecules from scratch).

But what about beaming up? I don't know, turns into a laser pointer vacuum or something, haven't figured that out. I'm just theorizing it could be an extension and superevolution from a version of a tech we do have instead of some scifi magic.

Meanwhile the tractor beam, shields, and forcefields are, as of todays tech, still a scifi magic.

The Daedalus class was perfect for what it was intended to be. A big ship with a lot of space. I'll bet that big ugly fat fuck has at least two dozen high capacity transporter rooms and enough shuttle space to cram in a dozen runabouts. Perfect for crisis situations where you've gotta evac a lot of sick people. That 750 crew complement probably leaves a lot of free space until the casualties start rolling in.

Agreed, Voyager and I think Defiant made some sense but everything else from the Ambassador-class era onward feels too much like a piece of art than a functional, symmetrical piece of hardware that looks as good as art.

Why? It's without a doubt the best /strek/-related media in recent history edged out only perhaps by the swoleverse, leagues ahead of STD, JJTrek, or that crowdfunded Renegades thing. It also funnily enough has more Trek veterans involved in its production than any of the "official" shit too. And MacFarlane himself, for all his flaws, is a genuine fan of Trek and you can see that he put his heart and soul into the series, which is more than can be said for STD or JJtrek.
