moving back on topic, it makes sense they're using STO ships. it creates a "visual continuality" between STO and Picard (which is roughly set around the same time) and gives them a wide array of ships to use without having to spend development dollars and time designing brand new ships just to sit in the background of scenes
Absolutely. And coincidentally, STOs designs look great an authentic. I personally think better than *any single design* they came with for Discovery or Picard.

"A filthy, mangy beast, but in its bony breast beat the heart of a warrior" - "faithful" (...) "but ever-ready to follow the call of the wild." - Martok, about a Targ

Completely agree. Whomever was designing ships for Discovery and Picard is an infant playing with crayons drawing pictures of flying space toilets whereas the designs here in STO are just plain awesome!
With that said, I wish we could actually see our ships when participating in content and not have them buried under layer after layer after layer of blinking flashing VFX vomit.
Yeah, the VFX spam is getting really old. Heck, one of the most basic powers is a bad offender, at least if you care to see what color your hull really is. I'm on the verge of giving up Brace For Impact, just for turning my ship neon green. (Besides, it's not like it helps much anyway. I can be at full-hull, full-shields with Epic Mark XV gear on a Vengeance-class and still be atomized in about two seconds by torpedoes. Kinetics have gotten way out of hand.)
I hope in celebration that these ships are now canon, that STO makes them available outside of a bundle. I know, wishful thinking...but one can hope....

I have a feeling it'll be after next maintenance.
I have a crisp £16 note waiting for them when it happens.
