While at times a bit confusing, I've always liked the Crossfield design. For the same reasons i really like the NX-01 design. I can see the R&D folks trying out a triangular secondary hull as a carrier for small fighter or rescue craft and then realizing the test-bed abilities afforded to such a huge ship. And the refit is just gorgeous.

Personally i think Lorca destroyed the Glenn to keep Discovery unique and the technology under his control. Man was nothing if not calculated. He wouldn't have destroyed the Glenn if there was even a chance he would benefit from it being salvaged.

ohh and dont forget the massive turbo lift room thing who was clearly way to big to fit inside the ship

Star Trek ships are bigger on the inside. Especially for their hangers with fleets of shuttles. Its classified tech of course, that's why Voyager is shown to only about 4.

I like the bridge windows...........

The USS Discovery, the most advanced federation ship and at the same time the oldest, unique in the entire fleet and so different from others. It carries the name best suited to explore our universe and others, our timeline and alternate timelines, it has gone where no one has ever gone before and continues to blaze a trail into the future. What a glorious ship 💙🖤

5:00. If I remember correctly, it 3189 when the Discovery ended up in the 32nd century. It was 3188 is when Michael Burnham ended up there, crash-landing the Red Angel suit. She went for over a year before finding them. For Discovery, it had only been a few days. Your year of 3180 is too soon, as it is already 3191.

Shame they forgot about the Crossfield style ships in Star Trek 4 in space dock.

I love the Discovery, mostly the A, but the Sovereign and Constitution III (SNW Con equally) are my top Most favorites

Back in the 1980s, a friend I knew at school who had a Startrek Board Game, in the starship manual there was TOS and refit starships of Starfleet, Klingon, and other races, there was a TOS vessel design called the Larson Class, but in the Starfleet vessel refit was a vessel class called the Bakerfield Class, which I always refered nick named as a Bakerloo which has a Almost a very similar design concept to the Discovery. Espically on the triangle design.

The McGuffin class, just when you thought Kurtzman was done with lore shattering BS after the Rheman Warbird “Scimitar” was built in secret by escaped slaves under the Romulans nose in their home system no less. Ya that double shielded, perfectly cloaked, battle carrier had more firepower than Star base 1

I remember when I first saw Discovery some years ago when they revealed and I was not a fan. As I watched the series the design grew on me and I really started to like the design of the ship itself. The 32nd century refit is a work of art as far as I'm concerned. I think it looks better then most of the other 32nd century ships, most like due to the fact that it has the old Starfleet silhouette. Plus it's not just white. New Starfleet has waaaay too much white for my liking.

To me that ship looked suspiciously Klingon in design. Specifically it reminds me of the D7 cruiser. I think the TV series even addressed the issue🙂

Also it's an upgraded design from the original design that was designed for Startrek Phase 2 that originally had more of the TOS style of nacelles!.

Does the Glen and Discovery really are normal Crossfield Classes or are they changed to work with the spore drive ? Whats with the version we saw in Strange New World ? Was build by Klingons but Enterprise recognised it as Crossfield Class

I just finished season four of Star Trek discovery and was just an aw absolutely amazing. Can’t wait for season five and four to go on DVD. I have collected them all.❤❤❤❤❤❤

I think this is honestly my favourite st series

@Boxfortress

There's a handful of reasons from what Im aware of, be it someone's sole reason or a combination. The design language/aesthetics of ships, Klingons, and uniforms. Heavy focus on action. The hostility of characters twords one another along with what many perceived as political agenda pushing. Burnham feeling like a mery sue/fan fiction OC.

The discovery refit is my second favorite star ship in all of star trek. Maybe even number 1 honestly, I adore it.

I actually rather liked that original discovery design. I assumed that was the original crossfield design while the Discovery and Glenn were modified versions of it.

I want to see the saucer section separation maneuver..

i am not a fan of the design and the spore drive that make no sense to me and i dont like the spinning when it use the spore drive very much would like to see it from the inside

When it comes to Star Trek Discovery i pretend im an ostrich with my head in the sand pretending it doesnt exist

Did they "adquire Borg tech"? resistance is futile! lol

It just dawned on me that the ships silouhette is basically the IDIC symbol

Especially the creature, they utilized an oversized giant waterbear/tartigrade 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If the nacelles were 10% shorter, the saucer was filled in and didn't spin around, and the hull was brighter, I would be a big fan of the Crossfield Class. I know what they were going for, the design conveying speed while standing still, but it feels like they pushed the idea ever-so-slightly too far.

I love seeing the shots of USS Discovery. People forget how hard they hit it out of the park each time with ship shots.

Design that can do all and save the day better than your old, outdated relic! Give me a break. This design should have been nothing more than a rejected refit Connie design, and this whole show should have been better looked over by people who actually give a damn about bringing Star Trek fans together. Look, I'm a fan of Enterprise, so I understand enjoying something that a majority of others may dislike. More power to you, if you enjoy this stuff. That bring said, just as you have the opion it is good, or moderate at least, my opinion is that these writers and producers should have done a lot more homework, and a lot less self-inserting their crappy fanfiction storytelling.

Its crazy how she was named a science vessil but it hella durable than most star ships....still dont get why rocks are always flying in a fire fight

Cheers jack

Yes. It's a weird kind of beautiful.

the saucer section looks to small for the size of the nacelles, to me it looks weird.

The fact that the fastest drive in Star Trek is powered by mushrooms (of all things) is bizarre. Cool, but bizarre.

apparently not. they're abandoning the tech on discovery for the new thing being tested on the latest voyager.

@Ultra_YT_

Well, the spore drive still needs an operator which is impossible to obtain in mass scale due to the regulations and prohibitions for eugenic experiments in the federation and because of the destruction of Kwejian due to the DMA which resulted in the elimination of almost all empaths. That would explain why the Pathway Drive is a better solution although idk what it is but could be related to a kind of warp.

@bramvanzijp

Ай бұрын

@@Ultra_YT_ In the season 3 finale, it was also mentioned that the DNA stamets has would be quite hard to re-obtain, considering the tardigrade is extinct and the DNA fused with stamets DNA. So even if said experiments are still banned (which I doubt) it would not be that easy. As for the pathway drive, it seems to somehow just be an enhanced warp drive considering its mentioned that in the opening of season 5, they could have pulled a ship out of warp if they had a pathway drive, implying that the drive at the very least operates in a simular capacity to the standard warp drive, but with more speed/power/force/etc.

I love the show, but not crazy about the look of the ship. Which is really weird because the look of the ship is vital to the show.

They are detached… because why not? It makes ZERO functional sense but it looks "kewl" and that's where we are in 2024.

It looks like a giant space pizza cutter

UGH! "well-loved" by whom?

Im not a fan of discoverys later seasons. Pike getting involved was good and season 3 was ok but when it became 35 mins of therepy sessions with some sci fi it got boring fast. But the ships? I liked the ships of season 1 and 2. Brought that period of trek upto date for us model collectors. I dont buy detached sections though. Because how many times do ships lose power completely. You dont want your nacelle floating off into space do you.

I really struggle to watch this series, I often fast forward it...

Discovery makes me sad because there was so much stuff that could have been interesting in it but it felt like I was watching a bad marvel show instead.

Apart from the spore drive and the Sora entity, the 32nd century Discovery isn't all that modern. And the crossfield class of the 23rd century, apart from the spurs, nothing special at the end of the day.

Cant we just pretend the ship never existed i mean its bad enough we had to deal with a mushroom drive then they went one furrher and had detached nacelles! Neither things make sense!

🖖😎👍Discovery is truly not Canon in any way shape or form whatsoever it's in its own different Startrek universe like that of the J.J. Kelvin Universe!; And the ships are way too advanced in their outer design and interior design for the TOS Era they look more like they belong in the late 23rd century or the early 24th century!🤨.

not only did they have a Mary Sue as the main character in this series...they made the ship a Mary Sue as well.

I want to enjoy discovery so much but it's so hard to ignore the weird facial expressions and tone inflictions. Idk what the cast is doing, if it's bad directing, or if they're trying to take some weird cues with how they're not your standard crew. It's well enough a show to fill time until they release SNW and LD seasons

32 century star fleet design is one of the ugliest ship design i ever seen in all of SF.... truly ugly and repulsive... just like star trek discovery.

no, they just put lip stick on a pig.

So the people who slagged TNG because it wasnt TOS, people who hated on DS9 because it wasnt on a ship, people who hated voyager because it wasnt tng, people who hated Enterprise because they phallically worshipped lore and feared somehow that the show would somehow invalidate some weird ownership they felt towards their perception of Star Trek....i thought all of them were idiots and would either die off or utterly forget how much they hated any new Star Trek. Same thing with BSG and Doctor Who Thats how i feel about the current batch of idiotic negative discourse. All stupid hipsters..who are irrelevant in the longer history of the franchise.

People are still allowed to have an opinion, negative or otherwise. There's plenty of folks who were quite happy with all the previous ST shows, even the other current shows but they just don't like Discovery. Personally I fall in to that category. I enjoyed every series of 'old Trek', I like Strange New Worlds, I like Lower Decks, wasn't overly impressed by the first season of Picard but got further enjoyment from the second season and the third Season was pretty good. Discovery however I just cannot for the life me get along with. I cannot stand it, I hate the characters, I dislike the overarching story, I dislike just about everything to do with it and god knows I have tried to watch it, I audibly groan and cringe multiple times with every episode. It has gotten somewhat better with further seasons but there is just something about it, I don't even know what it is I just really really dislike it. Sorry.
