    Those look awful. Granted I can barely see anything because they are all "far" but none of them look good or interesting to the eye. The only one that gets close is that weird one with the absurdly long tail nacelles.

    Edit: Also why in the world are they composited like that? It looks like a scene of ships trying to navigate a parking lot where no one cares about parking in the lots properly.

    The good thing about them being so ugly is I won't mind them being in lockboxes 😅

    It's hard for me to call them "hideous" without being able to get a closer look at them.

    Meh. The only thing of interest is that saucer. Lukari canonized?

    I like what I see from what can be seen. Some cool looking configurations. Too bad that they'll probably all end up in boxes. Discovery continues to be awesome :smiley:

    I like these ones a lot

    Color me completely uninterested. It's not as bad as when they were the new hotness as Agents of Yesterday was coming out, but the game still feels oversaturated with temporal ships.

    Not only that, but time travel is banned in the 32nd Century. To be honest 'future' ships should never have been introduced....like ever, for 'preserving the timeline's sake!! :lol:

    That is another issue I have with these ships. None of them have the more organic blended lines that a Sovereign or Wells has. You have some donuts (WTF?), and standard fare of the 23/24 centuries, other than the one design with the ridiculous tail nacelles.

    It looks like there are some Xindi-inspired ones. Those ships with the nacelles clearly oriented backwards from the aft center of the ship look like they're inspired by the Sistruus.

    Not very surprising imo. Keep in mind, these shows are made by people who tend to ignore or not know about canon.

    IIRC, they banned time travel and destroyed all tech just (relatively(HA!)-speaking) before the Burn happened.

    Which is a freaking stupid move as once you open Pandora's Temporal Box, unless you manage to find a way to render time travel impossible in all the multiverse, it's bound to backfire on your rear, especially after temporal wars. And no writer is gonna convince me all parties of all sides anonymously agreed to do it... in all eras, considering the very nature of temporal agents.

    Especially the whole point of Season 3 relies on a risky time travel to the future.

    So does Discovery S3 and 'The Burn' take place after Daniels' home era, or is all of that basically ignored in the Discovery universe?

    And given that Kirk and company discovered time travel accidently in the TOS, there would always be the possibility that someone else could just as easily discover it again even further into the future, so as @saurializard points out it just makes no sense that you could eliminate time travel altogether.

    I would assume the donut/ring based ships are based off of Vulcan warp ring designs.

    Which were apparently still in use around, and after, Daniels era as we see with this future ship design in ENT

    Donuts bear zero resemblance to the Vulcan designs. Zero.

    Not even Vulcan ships passed through the Trek Ships Of The Future™! terrible-design filter? ;)

    The Vulcan ring design puts the ring oriented along the direction of travel.

    Almost appears as another cut and paste job similar to that Picard final. I'm seeing three, maybe four different class of ship here? Granted they can't showcase an entire fleet composing of numerous designs, but a few more than this wouldn't have been too much to ask, would it?

    I'm hoping the likes of Strange New Worlds will go on for a while, cause I'm going to miss the ship designs of old. Can't best some of the classics, even if the Discoprise isn't liked by all - it's a modern take on a classic design and we're not likely to see that, or anything else dated in Discovery again.

    Well I like them, and look forward to them appearing in game despite the hate.

    Hate? That's a bit strong isn't it? The word disgusting is better suited. :D

    They seem inspired by the Universe class, but with some traditional design... i want to see more... and also, i want them on the c-store! :lol:

    I did see too where that eaglemoss (I think) that Cryptic sometimes collaborates with had a new 7 of 9's Fenris Ranger Vessel model released or soon to be released from the Picard series so maybe that will eventually be introduced into STO, of course from gambling.
  • ajgurewitzajgurewitz Member Posts: 10 Arc User
    Considering how far in the future the game takes place, we have no idea who were members of the Federation and what stylistic influences they might bring to the ships. We had a glimpse from the Enterprise-J and how spindly it was. Farther ahead in the future it seemed that ships used compact subspace manifolds to make it bigger on the inside so ships became Tardis like. We really are going to have no idea what the ships are like in the future is my guess.
