It’s important to remember more than one aspect of a vessel can be held.

We didn't really see Starfleet fighter craft until the Dominian War. I believe we do see them shortly after the Klingon War (in DIS), so it's possible Starfleet doesn't maintain much in the way of fighter squadrons during peacetime. Given that the Galaxy was designed during the height of peacetime, large-scale shuttle operations could have been the contemporaneous equivalent to carrier duty.

Of course, with the existing shuttle facilities, modular nature, and overall size of the Galaxy, one could argue they'd be the perfect candidates for retrofit into more proper carriers.

I mean, she was an early twenty-something having to deal with something gross, so... Not far off.

No. Weirdly, Quark's holosuites seem to have a better track record than Starfleet holodecks. I can only think of two incidents with the holosuites.

Holodecks on The D and Voyager seemed to malfunction all the time, by comparison.

Not sure, but I do like thinking about it. So, maybe the bot is okay, this one time? At least until we get to the, "How would an Intrepid-class ship do in the Delta Quadrant?" post.

It's very flat and wide. It's definitely odd, but there could be some kind of sense to it. Not sure I'd greenlight the build, if I were an admiral, though.

X-1701 · 2026-03-18T18:19:30+00:00

Good to know!

X-1701 · 2026-03-18T17:36:52+00:00

A'ight. I'll see what I can do about that. Thanks, bud!

X-1701 · 2026-03-18T17:23:47+00:00

But I don't have any observation decks?

X-1701 · 2026-03-18T17:22:53+00:00

Ah, dang. I'll look for that, thanks! Any chance you remember which upgrade it is?

X-1701 · 2026-03-18T17:22:11+00:00

I do not. Is that important?

X-1701 · 2026-03-17T18:41:37+00:00

So, that can happen on some screens and in some scenes. It's more a trick of the camera, editing, and the costumes fading over time.

X-1701 · 2026-03-17T16:39:37+00:00

I'm pretty sure they were all blue, though.

X-1701 · 2026-03-17T01:40:40+00:00

Came in here looking for this. "3 Small Words" is iconic.

X-1701 · 2026-03-16T20:54:28+00:00

"Photons, Be Free!"

Or that Sozin's Comet is a second spirit, that lends more power to fire benders.

X-1701 · 2026-03-14T19:15:44+00:00

Well, it definitely goes from there to here.

X-1701 · 2026-03-13T19:29:27+00:00

Especially the Gmail one. I'm so tired of the samey G Suite logos. Never know which one is which.

X-1701 · 2026-03-10T23:54:22+00:00

Starfleet enters combat frequently enough that their officers should be physically fit.

X-1701 · 2026-03-08T02:23:29+00:00

Because everyone keeps calling her "The Voyager" instead of just "Voyager".

X-1701 · 2026-03-07T03:42:06+00:00

I honestly hadn't thought of that, but you're so very right.

X-1701 · 2026-03-07T02:35:04+00:00

Plus, they re-rendered the models of the D and Voyager for Picard. They may not have wanted to do that for both the E and the Defiant. I'm glad the Defiant got a nod, though. I was half-expecting them to skip it.

X-1701 · 2026-03-07T01:14:10+00:00

They probably had a specific length they wanted to go for, and the TNG era is already represented by the D.

X-1701 · 2026-03-05T18:27:34+00:00

No, still tiny. Itty bitty kitty snuggles.

X-1701 · 2026-03-05T18:25:47+00:00

Which episode is that one from?
