I think the design perfectly encapsulates the thought process of Star Trek Discovery "It looks cool- Just don't think too much about it, AND DON'T QUESTIONS"
Well, at least it's actually in an era where it doesn't clash horribly with the existing construction style because it looks like the 32nd century is basically anything-goes design-wise.
On the -A registry: since Admiral Vance explicitly states on-screen that Discovery's presence in the future is a crime according to the Temporal Accords and that all records stated the USS Discovery NCC-1031 was destroyed, then she literally can't be there. The -A solves that by indicating it's a new ship and hiding the fact she's the original and a time-skipper. Any internal throwbacks can be played off as homage to the original ship along with historically accurate uniforms. Also when it comes to Warp Drive, dilithium is the lynchpin of the system as it REGULATES matter/anti-matter reactions (it works like the control rods in a nuclear reactor). Previous Trek series have established that anti-matter (anti-deuterium) is pretty easy to come by but dilithium is not. Warp Drives are still equipped on every ship, and they still have plenty of matter and anti-matter to fuel the core, but without dilithium they are limited to very low warp speeds (under Warp 3 IIRC) thanks to not being able to regulate the reactions at higher power draws.
That all makes good sense, except them having historically accurate uniforms, they probably should have updated their uniforms too, that's pretty much all that's bugging me about them joining up with new Starfleet so far, also surely there'd be a loophole in the temporal accords to account for people who ended up there semi unintentionally who have no knowledge or involvement really with the temporal cold war, if the accords are so strict that they can't account for accidental time travel then having a crew rockin round the galaxy in thousand year old uniforms when nobody else seems to, must be pretty dangerous surely and with them being from a thousand years in the past and not having been in any way active participants or even aware of the temporal cold war, would any temporal accords even really apply to them as far as their getting to the 31st century anyway, sure the temporal accords may prevent them being sent back but surely they'd be exempt for the means they used to get there. It just seems to me that if despite the burn Starfleet is close enough to the opponents from the tenporal cold war for Discovery turning up from the past to potentially cause an issue for them, then surely they're still close enough to establish a diplomatic communication basically sayin "this crew has turned up from the 23rd century, they are non combatants, we have taken them in, we intend to abide by the terms of the temporal accords and won't be sending them back" or something along those lines and then Discovery wouldn't have to be hidden at all
I already said this over on Lore Reloaded's channel as the whole dilithium thing doesn't make any sense to me. The Romulans used quantum singularities to power their starships already in the 24th century. By this point it would be old news and well understood. Why isn't the Federation using quantum singularities to power their ships? Clearly Romulan ships in the TNG era were capable of more than Warp 3 and while the power requirements for a ship in the 32nd century would be higher that strikes me as still being a more optimal solution than limiting ships to fusion power? Also they can power all of this magical tech with just fusion power so
@@jpc347 Might have something to do with the whole "odd temporal/spatial effects" issue when things go wrong with the singularity cores. After all, aliens nesting in the thing basically fucked linear time in an area of space that was probably under a lightyear, but the exact range of the time distortions wasn't stated, and resulted in the ship outright vanishing in the end.
40:39 the Dominion had transporters that worked over a light year, and one of their fighters survived falling out of orbit intact two times, and had biogenic weapons that forced a poulation to stop using Electronic technology.
Hi Captain Foley Commander Cockings, In the last video you said it doesn't have the connecting rods to the bridge and saucer BUT from the bottom it looks like four rods are connected?
Have a real world reason to name Discovery “A”. Since Disco was “destroyed” it would have been removed from the fleet roster, look at US Navy ships lost in combat. Ships named after lost ships always have a different registry
Well, the status would have changed from "lost" to "active" as soon as the reality was known that the ship was not in fact lost. Seeing as there was no other Discovery commissioned using the same registry then leaving the registry as is wouldn't have been a problem. In the real world hull numbers only change when the role of the ship is clearly changed (such as the move from DD to DDG for many US destroyers refitted with missile armaments) but we don't see that in the Star Trek universe.
The more I look at the new ship the more I see how much it has been changed. The entire inside of the ship should look different. The neck and the secondary hull should be totally different.
26:32 whas the ships in the Burn destruction montage deataled enough to see if they had detached nacels? 34:58 I would assume Starfleet would use Discovery-A as a emergency suply ship to rush persanal and equipment to Federation worlds, and star bases repidly and will not use Her as a pure combat ship; since all the issues discused in the meeting with captains where about responding to emergency's food shortages, and solar radiation.
It's arguable that the holo-room in season one was outdated for a ship of the era. The Starship-class had a recreation deck that had interactivity if I remember right. Though, it's possible that holo-recreation decks were reserved for the five-year ships.
The show is now so far into the future, that technology would be so much smaller that it would be possible to have a phyisically smaller warp core installed in each nacelle
Wireless energy transfer, remember in the 24th century they could send energy to another ship wirelessly. Do you remember that episode where they were frozen in time and it looked like the Enterprise D was firing on a Romulan Warbird but they were sending them power? It's not too hard to imagine that now its improved to a point were it can be passive.
All these questions regarding dilithium being the centre through which matter and anti-matter are regulated...if it is the inertness that caused the destruction of so many ships, didn't more or less the same thing happen to Kirk's Bird-of-Prey in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home? The time travel drained the crystals so without that regulation shouldn't there have been a matter/anti-matter explosion?
The borg ship hull can regenerate because of the nano tech, so the 32 century ships might have already this technology to.. programmable matter function as nano tech.
Sam mentioned going from the Galaxy to Galaxy X. I know the Galaxy X is popular but it does not exist. It was from an alternate time line created by Q. What Galaxy X was made in the main time line in TNG to Voyager? We never see it once the time line goes back to normal.
When the dilithium crystals went inert, there was nothing controlling the matter-antimatter reaction, which is the entire purpose of the dilithium crystals...regulation. The reaction occurs within the crystal lattice itself. Now there's an unregulated matter-antimatter reaction, which causes a virtually immediate warp core breach. Magnetic containment fields within the EPS conduits (whether sending power throughout the ship or to the warp nacelles) would prevent incidental damage elsewhere, but all that is irrelevant if the core goes without warning. Doesn't help that the antimatter storage pods are typically located nearby, adding to the conflagration. I like the idea that the warp cores have been relocated to the nacelles, which really makes the detached nacelles make complete sense. Also, no, that's not how quantum entanglement works. That deals with information transfer. :)
First...while your detailed explanation is all well and fine - you would have to also have to include an explanation regarding the Phoenix being able to achieve warp since there's no dilithium at all native to Earth. The crystals help regulate the reaction so they can achieve higher velocities and be more efficient. But that doesn't mean it's required. Especially considering how even in the 24th century they were exploring alternatives to standard Cochrane-based warp drives. Not to mention one of the major powers using a drive system that was completely different. And quantum entanglement merely describes a state two quantum particles can be in where changes to one are instantaneously translated to the other. The hope we have is to use this for information transfer since you can change the spin on the particle and thereby eek out a binary pattern, which can obviously allow any message you want to send to show up on the other end with unlimited range instantaneously. However, just because that's the primary and most notable goal for it currently doesn't mean that the relationship must be limited limited to only that purpose.
@@FTFXclan You might want to re-check your information because it wasn't nuclear powered. It was built in a missile silo reusing much of the nuclear armaments, but it had a normal, if primitive, warp drive.
I Think the open hanger is better. also thing the saucer section is more dramatic when it spins but it should stop outer saucer section should just light up like Orville when about to warp but more detailed. also love the mag nacelles it could turn into concept last stich weaponry. as in a detach charged warp burst projectile missile hitting another vessel like a BMG 50cal hitting and unarmored person just destructive. I think that would be excellent in replacing the ramming speed hail Mary sacrifice & losing the whole ship plus you got 2 shots. just some quick thoughts
When do you think season 3 will be available on DVD/blu-ray? Can't afford CBS , have the first 2 seasons on DVD/blu-ray. The Pike stuff saved the show. I'm curious how the 3 season plays out. I'm a long time fan of the originals. I've seen all the movies in the theatre
Burn theory, the last whale finally dies, in spite of Earth's efforts to keep the population alive as long as possible. Not long after all dilithium in the galaxy goes inert.
Well, the population was low enough that inbreeding could very well do in the species rather quickly. Two parents plus one child is not a sustainable population.
🖖😎👍,First off I'm not a big fan of the ship and 2 it's just way too advanced for the TOS time line and the nacelles are just way too long for me. But now that there in the 32nd century it makes more sense, but my thing is how does the ship truly fly with its nacelles not connected to the secondary hull?, how in the world does that truly really work!.
1:45:46 the Only way to get rid of heat in space is thorough radiation, convection, and evaporation do not work in a vacume, and in physics entropy has to take place in a system per the first law of thermodynamics so ships will need a external radiator and, or a system to temperaly store built up heat the ship to keep it away from equipment.
If I had anyone, that would literally disect the parts of my ship...I would be pissed right off! I hate the nacelles separation statistics for the future ships.
About the Dilithium become inert and cause warp core to exploded, i would think this way: let's think that warp core is like nuclear reactor we have today (instead of matter/antimatter, we use uranium/neutron). to control the rate of reaction between uranium/neutron, we use "Control rod". Now, imagine that sudenlly this "Control rod" loose it ability to absort the neutron.. what we have next is an uncontrolled reaction that may cause the reactor to blow up. like "control rod", Dilithium control/regulate the reaction between matter and antimatter in a war core.. and because the energy density of matter/antimetter reaction is way bigger than uranium/neutron, warp core will suffer of an uncontrolled matter/antimetter reaction and explode if Dilithium become inert even if just in a split second. i could be very much wrong here, feels free to correct me..
looking forward to the Eaglemoss kit... *actual conversation at art department..." "how the F%^& are we going to add detached nacelles? hahahhaahhahahahahahaahhah
@@Trekyardswebseries yep. I did some research and found out that programmable matter does exist in the form of lcd. The whole concept of this is technology is...fascinating. And awe inspiring.
Dilithium crystals are used to contain and regulate the annihilation reaction of matter and antimatter in a starship's warp core, which otherwise would explode from the uncontrolled annihilation reaction.
Not exactly. It's used to more efficiently regulate the antimatter reaction which also allows them to achieve higher speeds. It is in no way shape or form required for a standard warp drive as the Phoenix would've never flown if it was since dilithium is not native to Earth.
I keep thinking back to the video where Trekyards interviewed John Eaves, and he made an offhand comment that by the late 29th century, nacelles may not even be attached, and just follow along via bluetooth or something like that...
I think the creators have invented a faster Horse rather than the motor car. Warp drive aside a galaxy still aspiring to governance by an autocratic militaristic monopoly, really?
@shurednichso it's our job as fans of the show to make them write that sentence of techno babble, instead of just assuming we're too stupid to understand it, so why bother.
They really need to seriously think over how technology works and new rules regarding in it. Once Picard and Strange New Worlds finish next year, 23rd24th century trek continuity is over permanently. Discoverys universe is the star trek sandbox we'll be playing in for the next 20 years. They basically have to have a new Bible of how the franchise will look and work for present and future generation.
No bloody A...it is a Refit, not a new ship. Admiral Vance may have stated that Discovery legally shouldn't be in the future...but who else would even know that? Who are they going to run into that is going to look up their database and see that Discovery was a ship from 900 years ago that was destroyed? But lets be honest, the A designation is no where near as silly as the detached nacelles...which apparently have the same advantage as voyager's variable pylons from 800 years prior...but with far more complexity and likely to break. And lets not ignore the fact that if starfleet has programmable matter and can refit discovery in a couple of weeks...they should already be building some spore drive ships. There is NO reason for them to rely on discovery, they could be building a fleet of spore drive ships, or refitting existing ships with spore drives. You may think that Stamets is needed to pilot, but they already showed that future tech allows him to control the ship was some nano gel or some other BS goo. The programmable matter bridge controls may look good on screen to some, to me they just look like CGI bull shit that makes no sense.
I personally thing CBS is playing by ear. First we have lizard Klingons with non Trek ships, then CBS put hair on them, then created a reason to build a D7 when we already saw a STD D7, so now we two types of D7s flying around.... Then they realizes STd will never fit in with Star Trek Enterprise, TNG, DS9 or Voyager. So we create a plot that puts the show 1000 years into the future and now it is its own show and no longer has to fallow Trek canon. I hope everyone knows CBS reads and data mines comments and reactions, and has made changes that try to correct all the problems STD has created with in its own show. Season 3 is really hard to watch and is just messy. The reason "A" is given to the ship is because the writers and CBS are not Trek people and do not know the prime timeline history or the franchise. This is not a new ship, it is just a refit, why would you build a new ship using a 1000 year old design, even using the same bridge layout and not one you would see 1000 years later.

No bloody A...it is a Refit, not a new ship. Admiral Vance may have stated that Discovery legally shouldn't be in the future...but who else would even know that? Who are they going to run into that is going to look up their database and see that Discovery was a ship from 900 years ago that was destroyed? But lets be honest, the A designation is no where near as silly as the detached nacelles...which apparently have the same advantage as voyager's variable pylons from 800 years prior...but with far more complexity and likely to break. And lets not ignore the fact that if starfleet has programmable matter and can refit discovery in a couple of weeks...they should already be building some spore drive ships. There is NO reason for them to rely on discovery, they could be building a fleet of spore drive ships, or refitting existing ships with spore drives. You may think that Stamets is needed to pilot, but they already showed that future tech allows him to control the ship was some nano gel or some other BS goo. The programmable matter bridge controls may look good on screen to some, to me they just look like CGI bull shit that makes no sense.
I personally thing CBS is playing by ear. First we have lizard Klingons with non Trek ships, then CBS put hair on them, then created a reason to build a D7 when we already saw a STD D7, so now we two types of D7s flying around.... Then they realizes STd will never fit in with Star Trek Enterprise, TNG, DS9 or Voyager. So we create a plot that puts the show 1000 years into the future and now it is its own show and no longer has to fallow Trek canon. I hope everyone knows CBS reads and data mines comments and reactions, and has made changes that try to correct all the problems STD has created with in its own show. Season 3 is really hard to watch and is just messy. The reason "A" is given to the ship is because the writers and CBS are not Trek people and do not know the prime timeline history or the franchise. This is not a new ship, it is just a refit, why would you build a new ship using a 1000 year old design, even using the same bridge layout and not one you would see 1000 years later.
In one of the scenes they show ships that appear to just be sitting there explode.

I HATE MODERN CGI SHIPS! I hate ships that can only exist in a computer and never in physical reality!
They actually found a way to make it uglier.....
Mostly nonsense. I am done
Detachable nacelles as part of a spore drive gimmick might be ok. Otherwise, pointless.
I bet Burnham caused "the burn" with her stupid ironman suit.
Don't tell me you guys actually like that stupid show
Season 3 is far better than Season 1 or 2 and even better than Picard Season 1. Got to give them credit when it is deserved.
@@Trekyardswebseries i 100% agree i said after s1 and 2 they would rly have to try hard to get my approval that being said S3 has been quite good still not a fan of any of the characters apart from the new admiral that guys prety cool and feels like an old school trek character
@@Trekyardswebseries Very true, though, it's still just melodrama-dumb-sci-fi junk. Mostly. There's a few bits that make me raise my eyebrow like "oh? actual star trek? hmmmm?" then it goes right back to normal.
its really got a long way to go though. Mandalorian is making much more of an effort to fit its formula / meet fan expectations
@@r77madder That's because actual Star Wars fans are making it, and are putting their hearts into it. Look at the sequel trilogy to see someone making a Star Wars movie just because it's a paycheck.
