Description
Based upon the Discovery screens. Cluttered, makes no sense, but heck, we have it in Trek since 1966
Ship design and image by me

Something about using Eurostile as the system typeface gives it a cool feel, like another famous USS Discovery from the 1960s, especially with the 3-letter codes.
If only it would randomly show a blue screen with NAV or SYS on it.

I wanted something classic, yet modern.

Works out beautifully!

No,no,no,Β don't tell me you all you guys are reproducing the fugly RMQ designs now?
Pardon me while I go and cry,......but at least they don't have bumps and pipes running all over the outside.

I like Discovery and it's designs. If you don't, it's your own thing, but please don't rub it under the noses of the fans of the show.

Amen. I like how Discovery's designs pull mid-century concepts like using geometric basics in. Working with taught me how those 50s and 60s "Doo-Wop" architecture concepts work with Star Trek designs. John Eaves' designs for the new show do well with connecting to the vintage ideas while presenting a universe that will be accepted by a modern audience.
I'd love to see your take on the Shepard-class (USS Gagarin, USS Ride) which after the Crossfield-class is my favorite of the new Trek ships from the show.

Montgomery Scott would take one look at this thing, then beat the shit out of the lot of them
2 contra-rotating sections...Β YEAH,Β that's not an engineering FAIL waiting to happen....
And spin like a spaz on the Y-Axis for the plankton drive?Β SPARE ME

The Ackerman does not have rotatring hull segments. She doesn't have a spore drive either.

Β I would suggest changing the Arlert, Kirstein, and Springer to NCC-1552, NCC-1618, and NCC-1626. With the USS Schneider and USS Panzer getting the registries of NCC-1627 and NCC-1629, if we're to use anime series as a naming convention for this class. Doing so would avoid registry conflicts with the Valley Forge, Kearsarge, Al Burak, and Belleau Wood classes. I'm currently looking for registry numbers that are either unused in fandom, or contradict names already used in canon or major fan designs, but the late 1400 range so far hasn't yielded any results, and you worked faster than I could.
Β At the very least, rather than interpreting this as the Jaegar as having to compete with other classes for hull contracts, instead, this could be interpreted as the Jaegar having a long production run, if that is preferable, just that the ones listed are far more noteworthy.
Β Edit: NCC-1479 is vacant. Masao made the mistake of using the name Los Angeles, a name also used by a Loknar and Chicago class. Classes I consider to be semi-canon.

I consider this as separate canon/fanon.

Β Still would be nice if you instead integrated, so they could occupy the same canon/fanon, which is what I try to do.

Actually it reminds me of Axanar computer displays like the one with showing the capabilities of the Ares in battle against the D-6. You know i'm starting to think that CBS took ideas from Axanar and sued Axanar Productions so that they could take all the credit. Β

Well, we know that the Klingon war did end with Axanar, so...
At least the official one isn't a pyramid scheme.

See, to me it looks more like a TNG touch screen than anything TOS, and yes that is an issue since Disco is set before TOS!
π: 0 β©: 1
When you think of it, by the time Discovery takes place, the Enterprise is 10 years old. In 10 years, so many things might have changed, especially on a highly experimental ship.
π: 0 β©: 1
I thought Disco was set earlier?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, it's set in 2265, 10 years before Kirk's Five-Year Mission

Er, that's exactly what I was saying, that this ship shouldn't have a technology that's significantly later than TOS.

.....
Look,Β you can pretend all you like,Β but STDΒ is not remotely part of the TOS-verse
No matter how loud or long they scream
No way

I consider all series as separate canons now. TNG soft-rebooted TOS. DS9 soft-rebooted many key aspects of TNG (Cardassians, Trill, etc.). VOY was a separate entity of its own, removed from the traditional settings. ENT soft-rebooted everything. The Abramsverse hard-rebooted everything. DSC does another soft reboot. I don't care anymore, I just enjoy the show as long as it's interesting.

You hit on the simple bit;Β Β IF they had said that in the beginning,Β Β instead of LYING TO EVERYONE'S FACES -Β like they still are -- a lot of fans would find it a lot less objectionable.Β But they didn't .Β And they aren't.Β The stupid is too strong.Β And as far a MIKEY goes?Β There is insufficent pain in her body, for what I'd do to her.Β Β Her own words make her unfit to have ever been in Starfleet,Β never mind the HUMAN RACE

Uhhh... actually Kirk's five year mission started in 2265 according to Memory Alpha.

Sorry, I wanted to write 2255. It's stated in the pilot. Sorry, I screwed it up!

I like it. Does it have the spore drive?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you!
No, she has conventional Warp dsrive only, clocked at Warp 7 maximum.

Cool. I have a feeling that the spore drive will burn out at some point with the tardigrade.

Because the new audience grew up on reboot Trek. I too would like to have the classic sets, but they just wouldn't sell for the millenial audience.

Money. Its the only reason, pure greed.

Yupp. Mikasa was named after a real Japanese battleship (it still exists today as a museum ship, can probably turn into a steampunk mech or something), so I did the opposite and named my ship after "a legendary warrior woman of early 21st century Earth mythology"

Good, you don't have the "saucer shot" bit from Discovery's screens. Clearly those are meant to be part of the spore drive, and shouldn't exist on a ship without the spore drive. But without it, how will she ever reach Speirein 1!?

She does not have spore drive. Lorca stated in ep. 4 that after the destruction of the USS Glenn, only the Discovery has spore drive.
