Starfleet’s USS Antares - 32nd Century Ship from Star Trek: Discovery 

Your post is hilarious.

More blur! More flares! More make everything look blue and have it all blend together! More shakiness!

And rightfully so! it has some of the very worst ship designs ever witnessed on screen. Especially all the super weird 32nd century ones which just look like some wonky AI designed them.

It highlights how bad Discovery is.

@@danielcraig9666 it's really not the worst thing ever, just half-baked. Discovery's only real sin is just kinda being bland, short, and taking itself too seriously. When the show takes the time to write self-contained stories making use of its cast it can actually be great. There's great ideas here that are all so crammed into 10 episodes with a rigid adherence to a serious tone. With more world building episodes, and more diverse episode types in general, it definitely could have shone.

@@spacethingreckoning5114 It's biggest sin is breaking all continuity.

@@spacethingreckoning5114 Discovery may take it’s feelings too seriously, but I WISH it could take it’s design, continuity and logic too seriously! It’s a trash show and essentially de-evolving into fantasy. I am gay, as much as I like representation and diversity, nothing else good as come out of NuTrek - the producers don’t care, the designers aren’t talented and are straitjacketed regardless of their talent. They don’t care why the nacelles aren’t connected - that’s just not the kind of show they feel they are writing. It’s not Star Trek - it just isn’t.

Damn, that’s surprising, what about Lower Decks? I loved a lot of the ships we saw from LD, Picard, and SNW, even Discovery had a couple designs that I thought were at least passable.

Damn John, are you serious? You have really bad taste. Sorry. And Lower Decks is faithful to the 90s Trek style so doesn’t count. The original clearly said ‘Discovery, Picard and Strange New Worlds’ and you completely dismissed their comment! Those shows have horrible dark shiny grey hulls, everything looks dirty and depressing, the designs are ugly, I think anybody who likes them is a bit of a strange person.

@@ah7910 Okay. Good lord I have so much to say in response to this. “You have really bad taste. Sorry.” So let me get this straight, if someone likes something you don’t it’s automatically “bad taste?” Loads of people have loved designs from the new shows including two people from the channel you’re watching right now! Foley and Cockings have both praised numerous designs, and I think rightfully so. There’s some damn good ones. And no, you aren’t “sorry” at all lmao. Get off your high horse and let people have their opinions. “And Lower Decks is faithful to the 90s Trek style so doesn't count.” Huh? That’s uh. That’s exactly my point? I’m giving an example of a show that has had excellent ship design in recent years. Did you somehow miss the first part of my comment where I said “that’s surprising, what about lower decks?” I was asking the original commenter what their opinion on the ships in that show is. And PLEASE I implore you, do explain, how did I “completely dismiss there entire comment”? I legitimately do not understand that at all. I asked them a question regarding the subject matter of their comment then gave my perspective on it. How is that dismissive? If anything you were the dismissive one towards my comment since you clearly didn’t comprehend it and jumped to name calling lmfao. “Those shows have horrible dark shiny grey hulls, everything looks dirty and depressing, the designs are ugly, I think anybody who likes them is a bit of a strange person.” I agree the dark and shiny isn’t the best, but we’re talking ship designs here, not necessarily how they were rendered. Also, in Picard season 3 there were LOADS of ships without shiny dark hulls. In fact hardly any at all had shiny hulls… The show was just rendered dark. For ship classes in Picard S3 we have: - Akira - Akita - Sovereign - Sutherland - Steamrunner - Defiant - Edison - Echelon - Excelsior II - Galaxy - Constitution III - Duderstadt - Gagarin - Inquiry (with the better deflector and lighter hull) - Luna - Nova - Odyssey - Pathfinder - Reliant - Ross - Sagan - Intrepid - Sutherland - Constitution original - Constitution Refit - Klingon Bird of Prey - Romulan Bird of Prey - Miranda - Nebula - Excelsior - Constellation - Saber I think a grand total of like 2 or maybe 3 of these have dark reflective hulls… There were like 40+ ship designs used in Star Trek Picard S3, many of which are from old trek… and this person STILL didn’t like a single design? I personally find that shocking, and at that point they’re just being cynical. Even if we just look at the completely new designs for S3, I think the Sagan class and brighter-hulled Inquiry look AMAZING, as does the Elios and others. Again, I do wish the current Trek CGI didn’t use reflective surfaces as much… But yknow what? I also don’t like how DS9 and Voyager CGI is at 480p and looks like a 90s computer game. I don’t like how TOS remastered messed up a lot of shots from the original. I don’t like how Star Trek V’s CGI looks like it was made by a high schooler. Trek CGI for ships has never been perfect. “I think anyone who likes them is a strange person” Huh. So if someone simply prefers their ships from a fictional TV show be slightly darker that’s enough for you to judge them as a “strange person?” I don’t tent to judge people based on such relatively meaningless opinions on fiction… I really don’t like a lot of Discovery’s ship designs for the most part either, but I’ve met some people who love them and more power to ‘em! So to wrap it all up: let people have their opinions man… Not everyone who disagrees with you has “bad taste.” Infinite diversity in infinite combinations 🖖

Like the rest of Discovery. In my opinion. They've had 5 seasons and I still don't really care for it. I've just accepted it as generic sci-fi with Trek branding at this point.

@@TalesOfWar I stopped watching after the second season and canceled my home TV cable 😅

Agreed

Seriously, it’s the most ridiculous future tech yet. 🙄 “Go to Warp!” *watches all nacelles shoot off into the distance* “Hello, Starfleet Spaceside Assistance? Yeah, we need a tow, again.”

Also a lot of wasted space by all of those unnecessary cut outs

It is however technology and chained just as Doug Drexler described it with Stewart and Sam that's where the new writing staff got the idea for Bluetooth in the nacelle lol but it's a visual Touchstone and departure it's something that these new writers and Artisans want to conceptualize on because it's something that hasn't been explored. Also is futuristic to say well they figured it out but me personally I wouldn't want mine nacelles detached I would want them to be attached but on the other hand its technology evolving in a non-linear capacity and that's where they're going.

@@TheDogGeneral The way warp technology works is that plasma is energized from the warp core and pumped into the nacelles to create a warp bubble, we know this is still the case, since dilithium is still used. So the future disco ships are designed as if they disconnected the steam pipes connecting a nuclear reactor to the steam turbines. wireless charging technology is very inefficient compared to wired technology, and doesn't scale up. To have the warp engines disconnected to the warp core is a waste of precious energy.
