[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] That… is just utterly nonsensical. They decided to… remove from mothballs, I presume… “refit” a ship that - going by the registry, NCC-1777 (and don’t get me started on that, or that it was apparently the flagship of its day…), must have been built, well, not that long after 2245. So let’s say, an at-least 150 year old spaceframe. So, never mind the presumed century and a half of technological advancements in starship design that’s happened in the meantime. And then pretty-much replace it all anyway. And then give it a new class name despite it having nothing to do with the OG Constitution-class or the refit variant of same. And then keep its original name but give it the registry of another Titan. And yet… all that sounds completely par for the course where this shower are concerned. And, not gonna lie, it makes the actual criticisms in the two reviews above ring even truer than they did before! [/qb][/QUOTE]The idea of a refit of an ancient ship becoming another ship has precedent in Star Trek: Discovery. That was done for convoluted reasons, but -- as we've seen before in Trek productions -- the specific reasons for a prior thing can get lost when one wants to repeat the thing. In effect, then, this is a backport-retcon normalizing (and undercutting) the Discovery event. Also, not only is the refit of the Constartoonish Class Titan renamed and renumbered, but it is also almost twice the size, meaning they had to build all-new parts that slavishly reproduced the appearance of the ship they were turning into a bigger ship, because reasons. That's per Bernd tweeting with the designer and production designer here: https://mobile.twitter.com/eas_trek/status/1568564695895785472 This is also something with precedent in the newer material, since the Enterprise of the pre-TOS Discovery era is 50% larger than the classic Constitution and the TMP movie refit, despite ostensibly being the same ship. So as you can see, this is all perfectly normal and plausible. Clearly you just don't like it due to starbase spacedoorkeeping and anti-android bigotry. [/QB][/QUOTE]
