Always fun seeing what cokeheads in the ’80s thought “future video games” were gonna be.

If you could captain any of the ships, which? Personally, I'm a sucker for the Galaxy Class.

Constitution-class refit. It's militaristic enough for my taste, but also has some of the creature comforts of later designs. And the old lady can smack your shit up, if that's desired.

Galaxy Class fucks. Sovereign Class was a huge downgrade.

I gotta say, the top-and-bottom headlamps are A E S T H E T I C.

Even if they don’t actually do shit.

Everything else about it? I could not care less. The spoon shape is uncessary, and the nacelles somehow dumber than ever.

The bridge is fine, I guess. I’m relieved the TNG-style chairs are still there, Blue floor highlights are obviously just there so the ship can drop into permanent red alert later. It's lazy because nobody planned to light this thing up properly.

I like the design of the Sovereign class. It looks cool. The village in space of the Galaxy class is kind of dumb when you think about it but it is understandable for 25 episodes a year.

For people that don't know, the designs of the Galaxy and the Sovereign is related to the aspect ratios of a 4:3 TV screen versus the widescreen of the cinema.

Yet a post DW era refitted Galaxy is still more versatile than a Sovereign in most categories whether in peace and in combat. Still the Sovereign is much better at the front leading in a fight.

That said, Defiant > rest, regardless of the flaws the ship has in other departments.

If I had to rank the five main bridges, it'd be:
#1 Defiant
#2 Enterprise-D
#3 Enterprise NX-01
#4 Enterprise NCC-1701
#5 Voyager

You’re right about Nu Trek being shot in a coal mine, but Voyager might have committed that sin first. I swear to God that ship spent more time at red alert than at condition green.

One of the only times the darker lighting actually worked was with the clone Voyager in Course: Oblivion. The way it cut from the dark and heavily damaged bridge of clone Voyager to the normal lighted bridge of the real Voyager really highlighted the contrast between both ships.

I get the in-universe “resource conservation” excuse, but it’s not like they were ever actually running out of food or weapons. The lights going dark once an episode was just their way of duping the audience into thinking every plot was as high-stakes as “Yesterday’s Enterprise."

Still better than Discovery having the ship announce BLACK ALERT right before using the Spore Drive.

It's like the whole concept you're in a ship in space and every episode, or almost every episode, shit gets shot at you that rocks the ship back and forth and knocks everyone all over the place, but nobody has anything at all to protect them from that. What the fuck? Are seat belts a lost technology in the future in SPAAAAAAACE?

The whole idea of using restraints to prevent getting turned into jelly from collisions just disappeared from human knowledge?

It says a lot when even Spaceballs understood the flaw of not wearing a seatbelt on a spaceship.

Too bad they deleted it from Nemesis. I forgot they had the MACO guy from Enterprise and JAG in the scene.

I find that the less militarized starfleet gets, the more obnoxious and goofy it becomes in both aesthetics and character behavior.

I feel like it was the worst in early TNG, especially the entire episode that had the characters complain about performing military exercises even though Picard specifically requested this in order to prepare for the Borg. Of course, the second the Borg took out an entire fleet of starships at Wolf 359, suddenly Starfleet didn't mind being a military organization.

As for Spock fucks, there was a hint they'd side quest into La'an and Kirk's history but it ended up being an acknowledgement and they thankfully did nothing with it.

So if Kirk and La'an hooked up, would that make Khan his great-great grandpa?

At least Pine looks like he could pass for a young Kirk, but SNW Kirk looks like a vegan middle school teacher. Zero Shatner in there.

Maybe it's a Ned Flanders situation where he secretly has a ton of muscle underneath?

Oh yeah, vibrators are canon in Star Trek. That's cool.
Click to expand...
I mean, if hologram sex is a thing in the future, I don't see why vibrators can't still be used. Hell, maybe Data's penis works like one?

Also uh, in the holodeck, was all the jizz dematerialized and used as energy in the replicator like used plates are? When Troi replicates a dodeca chocolate super sundae with extra cream and cherries, is she eating Broccoli's jizz that he emptied into a Deanna Troi head in a box earlier?
Click to expand...
To be fair, Lower Decks revealed that Holodecks have biofilters that need to be regularily changed, so it's possible Barclay's warp plasma was contained through the biofilter.

Put me down for a Galaxy class

All that space, all that holodeck shenanigans plus the lush comfort of the officers quarters? Hell yes.

Holy shit I can promise you that those designers have never ever ever stepped foot into an actual ships berths.

The best part is the chair. That thing looks so damn comfy.

Also how many Federation starships have been hijacked like this?

It's sad how this doesn't even crack the top ten most embarrassing ways a ship in Star Trek has been hijacked.

The Soverign-class has to be my favorite ship design. I just love how it looks like a natural evolution of the Enterprise with a more sleek design that still has the recognizable elements like the nacelles and deflector dish

The only thing I don't like is the bridge layout. Way too generic and cramped.

While that's true, there is something else to consider here. Inertial dampners, especially FAILING inertial dampners. Just imagine what'll happen on the Enterprise-D when these badboys suddenly go offline, while the ship is pulling a 200+ G acceleration to match her top sublight velocity...
 
Don't need to imagine as other sci-fi franchises and series had already detailed the end results of inertial dampners failing. Very short answer is you're gonna need sponges, squeegees and wet vacs to removed the crew from the ship. Assuming only the squishy stuff into the ship is effected and not parts of the ship itself.

More relevant for Star Trek is the structural integrity fields keeping the ship together in the first place. Lose that and it almost guaranteed the ship and everything inside it are kaboom.
