Unfortunately, I couldn't find a full deck layouts, only a profile cross-section.

@@Halfscreen In the old time we would've a Technical Manual by now. But since the Tardis-Turbolift Realm somewhere in there that ship has sailed.

@@toval76 I have noticed a decline in the technical manual on newer ships, old books were very useful

@@Halfscreen I loved them. I have them on my shelf till this day. The creators behind the scenes - Sternbach, the Okudas have given much thought about minute details for each ship.

@@toval76 Agreed. Designers back in the day really took the time to design the interior of the ship.

And that makes it better how? It's still an unbecoming gimmick unfit to sit alongside proper Starfleet vessels.

I... never said it makes it better? All I did was clarify the stupidity we're looking at. Christ above, I'm not defending this show by any means.

Pretty sure they do actually.

@@RoySATX that’s the proper Star Trek attitude! Keep it up champ

You mean he doesn't show that in this video? Why couldn't you fit a Borg Cube in there?

I have to wish he’d never bothered…

God I hated that concept. Wish no one would've ever came up with that BS. Always bothered me.

This show, like basically all of _NuTrek,_ is such an insulting dumpster fire. It’s a disgrace to have the Star Trek name attached to it.

@@Gunnar001 i actually like Lower Decks. Compared to the other nutrek, its a breathe of fresh air.

That was the discovery a

I guess they wanted to give the ship a different design from Starfleet's traditional design.

​@@Halfscreen Or they had total disregard for half a century of world building and little respect for an entire fleet of ships that had come before. It's one thing to break canon, this was firing upon it with a canon. But, hey, SS was finally forced into diversity having shunned it for so long.

The whole ring does, the entire saucer doesn’t, according to a designer the decision was that is essentially what tears the fabric between normal space and the network

@@samwalker8893 the ring rotates only on the original Discovery. With the refit the ring stays in its place and only the top and bottom hull "plating" rotating, because of the programmable matter.

​@@talos86 If you look at the scenes with the rotation happening, only the hull plating rotates. The windows on the inner and outer walls of the ring stay static.

Correct, the deck windows along the edges stay where they are, so it can’t be the whole rings.

The canon reason for the spinning disks is to create centripetal force to stabilize the ship during the jump.

Or of some slightly newer class maybe, yeah.

Makes perfect sense given the ship height quoted here. Unfortunately for my brain that height being correct would make the ship about the size of a Sovereign class, which seems a tad insane... I was sort of picturing Discovery as being vaguely Excelsior-sized, and hoping to have my bias confirmed here. It has not been. :P

Thanks Joseph! There wasn't any deck to deck floor plan that existed that I know of.

I don't know if it's actually bigger, longer yes, but in terms of volume, the Enterprise D is actually larger.

Of course they dont like anything new, thats just them, their opinion.

I feel like it works on the same principal as a stargate, Where each individual section locks into specific coordinates in spacetime.

The canon reason for the spinning is to create centripetal force to stabilize the ship during a spore jump. I assume it makes sense because I doubt normal RCA thrusters would be fast enough to stabilize the ship if needed for a jump as fast as that.

Totally agree. I was lucky enough to find enough of the schematic to make the 3D model, which was only based on 2 drawings, hence, why I only model the cross-section only, and not the deck-to-deck like usual.

Agreed. I’m fairly sure the turbolift system is in an extradimensional space (which helps with freeing up space inside the ship that might otherwise have been dedicated to turbolift shafts, but at the cost of a turbolift potentially needing to travel a couple of miles when the real distance is a few hundred feet).

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you too!

I have to modified the 3D I found online since it wasn't to my liking, so I have to model it myself.

Glad you enjoyed it

@@Halfscreen I really did, it was lovely to see some more details about this ship

@@GingerTrekkie There was really only 1-2 drawing of the interior space for Discovery,, very basic at best.

@@Halfscreen yeah i think that's where it fell short , I remember waiting patiently to see main engineering through out season one but they never made clear if that room with the spore chamber was engineering or not. I love diving in to the schematics of starships so it was a shame they didn't flesh it out more. Again you did a great job of doing that 🖖🏻

Appreciate that

Thanks. It's 3ds max.

As a designer, I don't have a issue with the design, if anything, I kind of like it for its unique design , but you have a valid point. Newer ship schematics are very basic and not as details as older generation vessels.

It was based on concept art that was rejected back in the 70's, and for good reason. The show itself sucks because of the writing/writers...

@@josephtracey4411 It sucks because it tried too hard to make Star Trek woke when, in fact, Star Trek has never been asleep. Star Trek has always included diverse characters, human and otherwise, and had done so as a matter of fact, respectfully, and not to pander. Nichelle didn't pander, Uhura was written and acted as a respected and valued member of the bridge crew and that is how the viewing audience accepted her. It was only political in Hollywood. Even the "notorious" kiss between Kirk and Uhura was completely accepted by the American audience, it was only a controversy in Hollywood behind the scenes. It's not the viewers that need to be preached at by woke Hollywood, it's woke Hollywood who needs to accept they are not morally better than us. And I am saying this as a gay person, Discovery was pandering and a disgrace. They used gay characters as political pawns to try to shame a viewership that doesn't deserve shaming. Hollywood needs to clean their own houses before telling the rest of America to clean ours; It is them who refused to be inclusive for decades, it was Hollywood who allowed Harvey Weinstein to prey on women, they have no business telling us we are the bigots when they have time and again proven themselves to be just that.

There's a little bit of an issue with a sort of visual reboot. Discovery, being so much bigger than other ships, and looking so much more futuristic, clashes quite starkly with a lot of what we'd been shown. I'm not suggesting that it should look like the 1960s sets, but quite a lot of people felt that there wasn't much effort at making it part of the same universe. The design isn't bad, but it felt a bit like long term fans were told to shut up and that what came before didn't matter.

@@thegreenmanofnorwich yes! It’s a gorgeous ship, it could even fit an unexplored time period really well, but it was placed right in the middle of kirk’s life. Ironically, the show did end up putting it an unexplored era, the 32nd century

Hoping to work on it next month.

I haven't look into Orville but it looks rather interesting.

True, I really couldn't find much information regarding the disc.

Thank Cristian for subscribing! I don't know if there is a schematic on the Star Fleet HQ, so probably not.

Thanks

That would be awesome.

Thanks. Not sure if there is a schematic of the snowpiercer.

That would be cool. I would imagine it would be a lot easier with the film version. And if it's the TV series you're after, would probably best wait until the show has finished before they unveil any more previously unmentioned carnival cars, lol.

I agree! She was way ahead of her time. Not only is it good that she jumped into the 32nd Century to escape control, but Discovery was also a threat to the entire Alpha Quadrant if she fell into Klingon hands.

I completely agree. The Spore Drive seems like it would come way later in Trek. Post-Voyager. Possibly a Star Trek:Picard-era achievement. I'm writing a Trek-flavored campaign for my D&D gaming group, and in my Trek narrative, the Spore Drive is discovered in 2388 by accident, and not put into full operation until 2392. And the Discovery-era Starfleet is a 2390s aesthetic, with a few modifications.

Nah, it's just bad writing. 😅

@@MMMMMMMMMM857 Not necessarily. Trek has often had advanced tech that had to be locked away because they weren't ready for it at the time.

I think most my audiences will agree with you on disliking the ship.

Thank you!

I couldn't find any schematic that showed why the turoblift shaft was so big.

I think it's only the top and bottom exterior plates that rotate. The windows don't seem to move.

In Star trek online, there a ship called the glenn class that is just another crossfield but fixed it for the better.

It is all to do with the Sphere data they collected in the episode 'An Obol for Charon' where the Sphere that was around 100,000 years old containing information so valuable and complex, so some back story first, at some point in the future a system known as 'Control' made by Starfleet, is an AI that was meant to be made to do threat analysis for Section 31. Long story short at some point Control becomes self aware and takes over Lieutenant Commander Airiam and attempts to give Control information about AI gathered by the Sphere. Control can use this information to literally wipe out all life within the known Galaxy and the crew of the USS Discovery decides the information contained within the Sphere can not be allowed in the hands of Control OR anything similar so they decided to delete the Data, this fails due to the Sphere data being aware of itself and takes measures to stop the deletion for self preservation. Next idea was to blow up Discovery in order to obliterate the Data instead, so the whole crew was transfered over to the USS Enterprise which attempts to destroy Discovery, only to find the Sphere Data took over certain parts of the ship and raised shields to protect itself. It was concluded they could not transfer, delete or destroy the Sphere Data so they had to keep it away from Control to prevent it from coming back in time to collect the data and wipe out all life hence take the ship beyond Controls reach which in this case was 900 years in the future since no were in the Galaxy is safe. Now to address why going to the future was the only option is 1. The Spore Drive CAN NOT travel across the universe, only the Galaxy at this point in time due to Stamets saying when reaching the outer edges of the Galaxy the mycelial network begins to thin out when reaching the Galactic barrier which is why they could not jump outside the Galaxy to locate species 10c. So it would appear that the mycelial network only exists within the Galaxy or Galaxies but not the space inbetween. 2. Another universe. Although this is possible it is not in no way RECOMMENDED, when Stamets did that the first time he went into a somewhat vegetated state and was half stuck in the mycelial network, plus he was not able to fully navigate through it causing them to arrive back 10 months later, meaning he may not be fully in control as to which universe they may end up in, and for all we know they will end up in one that is run by Klingons or even Control so not really an option. However option 3. With Time travel this serves two purposes, it not only means they will be out of reach of Control to prevent it from optaining the info and not know where Discovery has gone, it always means when they go to the future and detect lifesigns they know their mission to travel into the future has worked in stopping Control. Hopefully this helps haha

Because the producers realised what they'd written made no sense in the Star Trek universe, so made up a way to take it out of the timeline.

Sometime, schematic and tv series doesn't always line up.

No problem. 🤣

I have to see if there any schematic on it.

In many situation, schematic and tv series doesn't always line up.

In the heads of the producers!

It wasn't on the schematic unfortunately.

Unfortunately, There isn't any deck to deck comparison of the discovery. The turbolift system was never mentioned on the schematic.

Yes. Eventually.

It wasn't mentioned on the schematic.

Well, the schematic didn't really showed the turbolifts based on the series.

@@Halfscreen And this ist only one of so many illogicalties in this series...

@@tobias1170 I think this is why the schematic was very, very basic.

dont forget they once ejected the horizontal warp core vertically and through at least 25 decks....

It's really based on the schematic of the Discovery, but in many cases, schematic and show doesn't always line up.

It wasn't on the schematic.

@@Halfscreen I know, I was being facetious. The new Star Trek shows aren't interested in technical details or consistency at all, so I'm afraid you won't be able to get schematics that match the show. The writers just do whatever they want in every episode... 😑

@@Idazmi7 It is just easier to ignore the detail and just go with whatever the writer wanted to do.

@@Halfscreen Sadly.

Couldn't agree more! Information regarding the ship was basic at best, I have noticed newer tv series lack good schematic.

according to a designer the decision was that is essentially what tears the fabric between normal space and the network

Thanks for the explanation.

I agree, but I must admit that I absolutely love the spore jump effect. And that's literally the only lovable thing about the whole show.

It's obvious when looking at the schematic that the ship had many fundamental design flaw and not much thought was put into the it.

Its just for show really. In all practicality, having it spin and rotate is rather odd.
