Ah, but didn't you see they were lyimg when they said dilithium? A navy ship runs on gas turbines, duh.

There was a gag-reel scene from TOS where the script mentioned something about the ship running out of fuel, so they cut to a shot of Scotty shoveling coal into the engines.
On the other hand, if the Kar'fi burns coal, that would explain its nasty-looking exhaust...

Now I understand why CBS put the quietus on Star Trek fan films. Most fan films, regardless of quality, actually try to honor the spirit of the prime universe Star Trek saga... And I guess CBS just cannot have that...
Tell that to Star Trek Continues. They got reported to YouTube for copyright infringement by a third party and taken down, and CBS told YouTube to put the show back up and let them keep on making episodes.
The kibosh on fan films came solely as a result of one particular team abusing CBS's largesse. You want to get mad at somebody, get mad at Alec Peters.
Well, thanks for bringing this up. I had given up on Continues and thought it was done after the CBS fiat in the later half of 2016. Didn't realize they had more Episodes afterwards. I saw five 'new' Episodes last night and today. The finale was great.

Not "legally" speaking, IIRC, she was just convicted for her mutiny attempt. In the court of public opinion, she fared worse, but it seems obvious why - no one in Starfleet or the Federation knows what the Klingons or T'Kuvma were really thinking. But they know very well that Burnham knocked out her Captain and tryed to take over so she could shoot at the Klingons, that she killed a Klingon already (even if it's considered more an accident) and she had personal reasons to hate Klingons (not sure how public the latter detail is, though) - and everyone else in Starfleet, including her dead hero Captain and a dead Admiral, tried to make peace. If the Federation doctrine is that peace is always possible and any sensible person or nation would prefer it, it's obvious that she is the one thing clearly not acting sensibly and against the interests of peace.
Star Trek Online Advancement: You start with lowbie gear, you end with Lobi gear.
Anyone who thinks Burnham started the war clearly doesn't watch the show.
I get why she was blamed, but in every instance, the Klingons struck first. On the Satellite, the warrior attacked first despite Burnham's attempt at communication. That Klingon ended up dead. During the Battle of the Binary stars, her mutiny attempt was foiled before she could fire. Even still, the Klingons were in Federation Space, they summoned 24 back up ships and then opened fire first (because Burnham failed.)
Yes, the mutiny is on her.. she's guilty, but she didn't start a war. That war was starting no matter what and that's obvious. It's possible that had she fired on T'Khuvma before he could light the beacon, he might have withdrawn.. but of course that's just speculation and impossible to prove.

That or the other Klingon ships would have seen the ship fire on the big Klingon ship and just destroyed it.

Well let's see. None of the nacelle designs match anything previous and the closest nacelle designs are found probably in TMP era. Most of the console designs also look more along the lines of TMP era.
The ship sizes are far too big. Trekyards got the official models for the recent official licenced game from CBS for star trek and it already proves that the Enterprise we see at the end of season 1 is at least 33% bigger. Shenzhou is atleast the size of Excelsior, but in Star Trek 3, when the crew sees the Excelsior, the feeling is no-one has ever seen a ship that big in the fleet or heard of one ever(that's just the impression I got when I see that scene from ST:III)
The uniform piping on Pike's uniform looks more like the Kelvin timeline rather than TOS.
Mirror universe symbol looks absolutely ZERO like the Terran empire symbol before or after.
I can keep going on inaccuracy TRIBBLE ups and continuity errors there are.

Well not only that but Burnham is a flat out hypocrite.
Attacks her CO and starts a mutiny, then 30 seconds later is lecturing Saru on obeying the chain of command.
Then later on states "We can't kill T'Kuvma, he'll become a martyr."
By the end of the mission, kills T'Kuvma when she could of completed the mission and captured him.
Like I said. Burnham is a hypocrite of the HIGHEST order.

> remember that she has the protection of Plot though-as the main character, she is always going to come out on top, and any (reasonable) in universe criticism is always going to be clearly framed as unfair and/or bigoted when it becomes dramatically necessary for her actions to be unforgotten again. this is also how she got away with being petulant and willfull to begin with.
I don't blame Burnham for starting the war. She tried to however. Here's what I blame her for.
-Mutiny -Betraying the very ideals of Starfleet and not shooting first -Hypocrisy on multiple counts -Mary Sue -unearned ending
She was a character that even while court marshaled and not worthy of redemption, she got it anyways because plot abd she's the hero.
Hell TILLY deserved to be the hero more than Burnham.
Plus the fact Star Trek shifted from an ensemble cast of the whole bridge crew to the Mike Burnham show.
I mean who is the chief engineer? Chief Medical officer? I know Saru is Science, who's the tactical officer? Those other bridge officers you see all the time but do next to nothing, what do they do?
But they don't matter because Burnham.

Even more so than the (theorized) stable transuranics? (The structure of the periodic table implies that there's an "island of stability" somewhere way out there. The heaviest element yet synthesized, oganesson, is element 118, with a half-life of about 0.60 milliseconds.)
Smoky, the Klingons started the war. Burnham was just a convenient excuse - if it hadn't been her, it would have been someone or something else. Get over it.
And whether Spock endangered anyone in committing his crimes is immaterial - he still committed them. (And for that matter, his "not endangering anyone" is only clear in hindsight - at the time, he was plunging over four hundred people to what might well have been their deaths, in violation of multiple orders.) What this does tell us is that Spock isn't above fudging the truth in his own interest; it was the following season that he told Chekov there had "never" been an instance of mutiny aboard a Starfleet ship, even though he'd done it himself a year before. (Being cleared due to extenuating circumstances doesn't erase the original offense, just excuses it.)
(I mean, I'll cut him some slack for the incidents in "This Side of Paradise", as he was under the influence of an alien life form at the time, but...)
Okay, finally pulled the trigger on CBS All Access last night, and watched through "Context Is For Kings". And it didn't matter what Georgiou did, or what Burnham did - merely responding to the damaged relay was all T'kuvma and his cult members needed. They were going to start a war to reunite the Klingon Empire, one way or another. It's possible that if Burnham's "Vulcan hello" had been carried out, that might have impressed the arriving Klingon ships enough to avoid war, but there was no other outcome of that moment that would not have led to essentially the same result.
(Oh, and they were pretty clearly a cult, ceremonial armor not worn by other Klingons and all. Didn't see that spiky TRIBBLE on any of the Great House reps during the holo-conference call!)

Most of the console designs also look more along the lines of TMP era.
We covered this in the other thread. Quite substantially. They resemble the ones that came before very much so (NX, Franklin, Kelvin) and the ones that follow later (TMP era and TNG). TOS is the one that looks nothing like the stuff that comes earlier and later. DSC is correcting TOS' shortfall by showing evolution.
Most of the bulk is nacelles not volume. There's only the Shepherd and the Cardenas that out volume the Excelsior. So again it's the Conni that's the odd duck out not the DSC ships.
Shenzhou is atleast the size of Excelsior, but in Star Trek 3, when the crew sees the Excelsior, the feeling is no-one has ever seen a ship that big in the fleet or heard of one ever(that's just the impression I got when I see that scene from ST:III)
And that's your problem not the show's. No show has ever stated the Conni is a large ship or that it's in any way special.
Essentially to illustrate here. The Conni is the single, lone example of a TOS era Starship. That's it. One. The Conni. Telling us what the era should look like based on that is identical to telling the designers of the Sovereign, Intrepid, or Prometheus that their ships are wrong because the Defiant (the first seen ship of the DS9 era) doesn't look like that.
It is not that all the ships of DSC fail to match the Conni, it's that the Conni is the oddball. It's the wrong ship that's too small with nacelles that are a throwback to the Kelvin and NX eras. It's the ship with the innards made of cardboard and string whilst all its sister ships correctly look like evolutions of the Kelvin and predecessors to the Excelsior or Constellation.
The uniform piping on Pike's uniform looks more like the Kelvin timeline rather than TOS.
And? It's not supposed to look like TOS because it's not TOS. It's a decade before TOS. The pilot uniforms have been retconned out of The Cage era (they may still yet be in service by WNMHGB) but they certainly don't resemble the KT uniforms besides sharing the same colours.
Mirror universe symbol looks absolutely ZERO like the Terran empire symbol before or after.
Jesus Christ! You've never seen national or political symbols change!? You've never considered the possibility that the Terran empire might like to refresh their insignia in the same way normal nations do and that the TOS Emperor might have been a traditionalist who reverted back to the ENT era one. Possibly to wipe away the stains of Emperors Georgiou and Lorca.
Or even that the writers and producers of ENT were lazy buggers who didn't change stuff it would be realistic to change. A bit like the TNG and DS9 producers who thought the Klingons would be knocking about in their TMP armour a century later.
I can keep going on inaccuracy **** ups and continuity errors there are.
Please do. You might actually get a real one and not one that can be dismissed in seconds.
I won't bother with your stuff about Burnham as it's already been covered properly in Ten Forward.

In fairness, Burnham got misblamed for starting the war in-universe, too.
— Sabaton, "Great War"

Not "legally" speaking, IIRC, she was just convicted for her mutiny attempt. In the court of public opinion, she fared worse, but it seems obvious why - no one in Starfleet or the Federation knows what the Klingons or T'Kuvma were really thinking. But they know very well that Burnham knocked out her Captain and tryed to take over so she could shoot at the Klingons, that she killed a Klingon already (even if it's considered more an accident) and she had personal reasons to hate Klingons (not sure how public the latter detail is, though) - and everyone else in Starfleet, including her dead hero Captain and a dead Admiral, tried to make peace. If the Federation doctrine is that peace is always possible and any sensible person or nation would prefer it, it's obvious that she is the one thing clearly not acting sensibly and against the interests of peace.
I get why she was blamed, but in every instance, the Klingons struck first. On the Satellite, the warrior attacked first despite Burnham's attempt at communication. That Klingon ended up dead. During the Battle of the Binary stars, her mutiny attempt was foiled before she could fire. Even still, the Klingons were in Federation Space, they summoned 24 back up ships and then opened fire first (because Burnham failed.)
Yes, the mutiny is on her.. she's guilty, but she didn't start a war. That war was starting no matter what and that's obvious. It's possible that had she fired on T'Khuvma before he could light the beacon, he might have withdrawn.. but of course that's just speculation and impossible to prove.
That or the other Klingon ships would have seen the ship fire on the big Klingon ship and just destroyed it.

Prime Universe or Timeline is a fictional term defined by CBS along the lines of 'any canon shown not related to the Kelvin Timeline films' so where does DSC not fit in there? Why is your made up definition superior to the one that seems to be used by the people who actually make and own Star Trek.

Well let's see. None of the nacelle designs match anything previous and the closest nacelle designs are found probably in TMP era. Most of the console designs also look more along the lines of TMP era.
The ship sizes are far too big. Trekyards got the official models for the recent official licenced game from CBS for star trek and it already proves that the Enterprise we see at the end of season 1 is at least 33% bigger. Shenzhou is atleast the size of Excelsior, but in Star Trek 3, when the crew sees the Excelsior, the feeling is no-one has ever seen a ship that big in the fleet or heard of one ever(that's just the impression I got when I see that scene from ST:III)
The uniform piping on Pike's uniform looks more like the Kelvin timeline rather than TOS.
Mirror universe symbol looks absolutely ZERO like the Terran empire symbol before or after.
I can keep going on inaccuracy TRIBBLE ups and continuity errors there are.

Well not only that but Burnham is a flat out hypocrite.
Attacks her CO and starts a mutiny, then 30 seconds later is lecturing Saru on obeying the chain of command.
Then later on states "We can't kill T'Kuvma, he'll become a martyr."
By the end of the mission, kills T'Kuvma when she could of completed the mission and captured him.
Like I said. Burnham is a hypocrite of the HIGHEST order.

> remember that she has the protection of Plot though-as the main character, she is always going to come out on top, and any (reasonable) in universe criticism is always going to be clearly framed as unfair and/or bigoted when it becomes dramatically necessary for her actions to be unforgotten again. this is also how she got away with being petulant and willfull to begin with.
I don't blame Burnham for starting the war. She tried to however. Here's what I blame her for.
-Mutiny
-Betraying the very ideals of Starfleet and not shooting first
-Hypocrisy on multiple counts
-Mary Sue
-unearned ending
She was a character that even while court marshaled and not worthy of redemption, she got it anyways because plot abd she's the hero.
Hell TILLY deserved to be the hero more than Burnham.
Plus the fact Star Trek shifted from an ensemble cast of the whole bridge crew to the Mike Burnham show.
I mean who is the chief engineer? Chief Medical officer? I know Saru is Science, who's the tactical officer? Those other bridge officers you see all the time but do next to nothing, what do they do?
But they don't matter because Burnham.

And whether Spock endangered anyone in committing his crimes is immaterial - he still committed them. (And for that matter, his "not endangering anyone" is only clear in hindsight - at the time, he was plunging over four hundred people to what might well have been their deaths, in violation of multiple orders.) What this does tell us is that Spock isn't above fudging the truth in his own interest; it was the following season that he told Chekov there had "never" been an instance of mutiny aboard a Starfleet ship, even though he'd done it himself a year before. (Being cleared due to extenuating circumstances doesn't erase the original offense, just excuses it.)
(I mean, I'll cut him some slack for the incidents in "This Side of Paradise", as he was under the influence of an alien life form at the time, but...)
Okay, finally pulled the trigger on CBS All Access last night, and watched through "Context Is For Kings". And it didn't matter what Georgiou did, or what Burnham did - merely responding to the damaged relay was all T'kuvma and his cult members needed. They were going to start a war to reunite the Klingon Empire, one way or another. It's possible that if Burnham's "Vulcan hello" had been carried out, that might have impressed the arriving Klingon ships enough to avoid war, but there was no other outcome of that moment that would not have led to essentially the same result.
(Oh, and they were pretty clearly a cult, ceremonial armor not worn by other Klingons and all. Didn't see that spiky TRIBBLE on any of the Great House reps during the holo-conference call!)

We can but you might want to put some more effort into this that you did in your moan thread in Ten Forward.
Correct. And as we know the TMP era nacelles didn't match anything seen before. Neither did the TNG nacelles. Do you have point here or what?
We covered this in the other thread. Quite substantially. They resemble the ones that came before very much so (NX, Franklin, Kelvin) and the ones that follow later (TMP era and TNG). TOS is the one that looks nothing like the stuff that comes earlier and later. DSC is correcting TOS' shortfall by showing evolution.
No they aren't.
Most of the bulk is nacelles not volume. There's only the Shepherd and the Cardenas that out volume the Excelsior. So again it's the Conni that's the odd duck out not the DSC ships.
And that's your problem not the show's. No show has ever stated the Conni is a large ship or that it's in any way special.
Essentially to illustrate here. The Conni is the single, lone example of a TOS era Starship. That's it. One. The Conni. Telling us what the era should look like based on that is identical to telling the designers of the Sovereign, Intrepid, or Prometheus that their ships are wrong because the Defiant (the first seen ship of the DS9 era) doesn't look like that.
It is not that all the ships of DSC fail to match the Conni, it's that the Conni is the oddball. It's the wrong ship that's too small with nacelles that are a throwback to the Kelvin and NX eras. It's the ship with the innards made of cardboard and string whilst all its sister ships correctly look like evolutions of the Kelvin and predecessors to the Excelsior or Constellation.
And? It's not supposed to look like TOS because it's not TOS. It's a decade before TOS. The pilot uniforms have been retconned out of The Cage era (they may still yet be in service by WNMHGB) but they certainly don't resemble the KT uniforms besides sharing the same colours.
Jesus Christ! You've never seen national or political symbols change!? You've never considered the possibility that the Terran empire might like to refresh their insignia in the same way normal nations do and that the TOS Emperor might have been a traditionalist who reverted back to the ENT era one. Possibly to wipe away the stains of Emperors Georgiou and Lorca.
Or even that the writers and producers of ENT were lazy buggers who didn't change stuff it would be realistic to change. A bit like the TNG and DS9 producers who thought the Klingons would be knocking about in their TMP armour a century later.
Please do. You might actually get a real one and not one that can be dismissed in seconds.
I won't bother with your stuff about Burnham as it's already been covered properly in Ten Forward.
