Season 2 production trailer, shows off the Enterprise's uniforms

They're basically a hybrid of the DSC and TOS uniforms and the rank has been moved to the cuffs.

Michael is seen walking into a room labelled 3F-125.
3F-125 are Spock's quarters in TOS (though they were also Janice Rand's because set reuse)

We've got a length for the Shepard class, 505 meters

"That's a big ship"
"Not as big as her Captain."

--- McCoy and Scotty at the end of Star Trek VI

So, if the Excelsior Class is a big ship (confirmed as 466 meters in length), would that make the Shepard Class 40 years earlier, a HUGE ship, and a Crossfield Class (again 40 years earlier) at 750 meters, would be a GINORMOUS ship?

Or can we just finally accept, that this is NOT "Prime". Not the same Prime we grew up with as TOS, TNG etc. Alternate Prime possibly, (neither Primeverse, or Kelvinverse). I mean, if they had ships flying around 30-40 years earlier than the Excelsior Class, that were larger, almost double in length, McCoy wouldn't be "in awe" of the BIG Excelsior Class.

No

Then I guess Star Trek VI isn't part of Prime canon, if Discovery is.

I’m guessing this guy might be a reimagining of a Saurian. The nostal shape and the ridges around the eyes are similar. The actors eyes will probably be covered up or replaced by CG

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #306 on:** June 02, 2018, 06:37:26 PM »

If this is accurate, then the DSC Enterprise is around 480 meters long

So at what point will people finally admit this is NOT the "Prime Universe" ? Every reference to the ships size since the 1960s, has been that it's 947 feet long (289 meters).

"Visual redesign" of the ship is one thing, but changing the ships size/proportions as well, it might as well be a different class of ship entirely at this point. And calling it some kind of "wartime refit" doesn't make sense either, since we know what the ship looked like both before this so-called war, and after.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #308 on:** June 04, 2018, 01:23:02 AM »

Commonly accepted, but not canon.

Anyways 480 is close to what the Connie would be if you scaled it up to fit the sets used in TOS.

So it's okay to throw out 50 years of "accepted" facts, just because it wasn't actually mentioned onscreen?

Again, comments like Bones remarking how the Excelsior was a "big ship", means nothing then, since the Connie is apparently bigger than the Excelsior (at 480 meters), and the Crossfield is even larger (at 750 meters).

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #310 on:** June 04, 2018, 10:13:30 AM »

The excelsior is bigger then.

This doesn't take mental gymnastics.

Also it is a single line of dialogue. Trek has ignored/contradicted a lot more in the past.

It's the nature of an evolving continuity, things change.

Eaglemoss lengths for the Nimitz and Vulcan Corvette

383.5 Meters for the Nimitz Class
142 Meters for the Vulcan Cruiser

Discovery will be at Comic-Con this year in Hall H, which is like THE main Hall, the big one.

http://trekcore.com/blog/2018/07/star-trek-discovery-returns-to-san-diego-comic-con-on-july-20/

Also like last year, they're taking over a local art gallery to show off costumes and props, only this year it's Mirror Universe themed, with Photo-Ops with the Emperor's throne. You don't need a comic-con badge to see that, so if any of you live in or near the San Diego area, it would be neat to check out.

Now that's interesting. We might be getting trailers at SDCC.

Looks like the Enterprise doesn't have a viewscreen window. the Adversaries game team was given references from the production team, so this should be accurate.

Maybe what we thought was a 'window' was just a reflection? The eaglemoss model doesn't appear to have a window either. There is nothing cut into the bridge module.

Maybe they removed the window after Season 1 had finished?

Darkthunder · « **Reply #315 on:** July 07, 2018, 04:51:51 PM »

Hallelujah!

Mayhaps, they actually listened?

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #316 on:** July 08, 2018, 01:11:07 PM »

I'm thinking it's just a blast shield that deploys in battle.

ACES_HIGH · « **Reply #317 on:** July 10, 2018, 03:40:49 AM »

to be fair, the original series' 11 foot model had a bridge window in the second pilot. Although it was removed when the model was modified for the series.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #318 on:** July 10, 2018, 09:29:33 AM »

A "window" which was never identified as such onscreen.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #319 on:** July 10, 2018, 10:35:22 AM »

The length of the ship was also never identified on screen.
