To be fair, the AoD simulations were specifically set up for us to study J'Ula's tactics ("how she thinks and fights"), not to prove that our ships are better than hers. Tactics are generally derived from a combination of cultural influence, personal experience, and available materiel, and the one dev fiction blog we've…

There hasn't been a multifaction bundle (or a new set, for that…

The J'Ula and Killy arcs are both set up in such a way that they can continue without simply being a Discovery pastiche. If (and this is a BIG "if," but bear with me) episodes and/or ships return to the established 25th-century aesthetic after May, Age of Discovery can end while the arcs continue, without Discovery…
