Is it like it looks on the inside?

Or does it like spin around to create artificial gravity away from the core, even though no other Starfleet starship ever needed to do that?

>>71726478

It's incredibly massive so it works the same as the other ships. The saucer section is about as tall as the entire Enterprise D.
>>
>>71726507
I get that, but I mean look at it's design.
The only windows you can see, are on the ceiling, because it isn't rounded in the slightest.

In most starships, there's a handful of rooms where there are windows, the mess hall, captain's quarters, some crew quarters, etc.

Is literally every window a sunroof here? That's got to be awful when you're down getting a drink and just want to glance out at space, maybe at the big awesome nebula the ship is flying by and the coffee in it. Must be a killer on the neck.

Western society is making people increasingly alone and I think this will wreak havoc on mental health. Eventually the government will be outright pressuring people to get together, and not just romantically. Teens already spend a lot of their time interacting online rather than in-person. You still get some connection that way, but it's not the same. Generally most grown adults have their spouse and maybe 1 friend and that's it besides family.

It makes no sense making a spaceship aerodynamic because it's never going to encounter air resistance. Spaceships should be blocky as hell because that would make them cheaper and easier to construct, curves are a bitch. Then again Star Trek is about as scientifically accurate as Blue's Clues so who gives a fuck.

>>71728848
Aerodynamic ships can still use their impulse drives if all their deflector arrays fail, blocky ships would take far more damage from space dust and debris hitting it full on and having nowhere to slide off.

Some ships, like the Intrepid class (Voyager), can do atmospheric flight, using similar designs makes it obvious they belong to the same fleet and allows more re-using of parts.

Furthermore, even the ships that can't do atmospheric flight may need to: the crew of the Enterprise D wouldn't have survived Generations in a Borg Cube falling through the atmosphere and being unable to glide or slide.

The NX-01 essentially predates the traditional nacelle-engineering section-saucer section look. I think the originally planned mid-series refit to it would've added a more defined engineering section.

This nigga gets it.

The refit (and all TMP-->VI movie-era Federation designs) is the GOAT design.

The -D was my fav as a kid, then I thought it was ugly and awkward as a teen, and now, at 30, I'd argue that it's within a hair's breadth of the refit in terms of how iconic/complete the design is.

The E is the one that might have beaten them all, but we never really got to see enough of it.

After seeing that Spiner was one of the fee high-points of Resurgence, it only made me feel that much sadder that we'll never see a late-2010s TNG sequel show with Data as the new captain of the -E, with an all-new cast and occasional cameos by a retired Picard, Ambassador Worf, Admiral Riker, etc.

No, I've loved it ever since I got to pour over it in the 2nd edition (all color!) of the Star Trek Encyclopedia that I bought as soon as it came out.

Akira class is a little overrated, and the Steamrunner is criminally underrated. It looks like a cross between an Enterprise E-era reimagining of the Miranda and the Defiant.

Whereas the Akira just looks like a Voyager-era reimagining of the Miranda.

But the Sabre class is the truly patrician small Federation ship.

Is there any reason except asthetics, that larger ships need larger warp nacelles?

I never realized how huge the Defiant was until seeing it next to the Voyager just now.

Although what's strange, is that I could swear Janeway described Voyager being 700 meters long in the episode when they found the people abducted throughout history.
She probably said 700 feet and I'm just an idiot. Though that still would be cutting it under at only 200 ish meters.

If you look carefully that shot actually fucks up the size perspective somewhat. Those grass bushes in the background to the left of the nacelle should be about as tall as the two guys walking down and to the left of them if they were standing back there. However, if compared to the ship at the same distance, they would be about 2 decks in height. Voyager should be about 3X as big as it is depicted in that shot, they just fucked it up and left it because it was a few-second shot and nobody would notice.

Steamrunner class starships and Sovereign class starships are like a PTSD version of Starfleet. I love the idea of the Federation going through a slightly more war-like phase after the Dominion War.

It'd be the perfect setup for a series. The Federation goes from being a liberal utopia to having a rise of neoconservatism... Make it a post-9/11 metaphor.

This one is way better. The F is too close to the Sovereign class. It's too bloated, really. That ship kinda looks more like a step towards the J.

Gene's Starship design rules:

Rule #1 Warp nacelles *must* be in pairs.

Rule #2 Warp nacelles must have at least 50% line-of-sight on each other across the hull.

Rule #3 Both warp nacelles must be fully visible from the front.

Rule #4 The bridge must be located at the top center of the primary hull.
