Fans complained that Season 1 Picard was a copy-pasta of one or two Federation ships. By Season 3 of Picard, the design and SFX teams had virtually brought back as many old ships as possible and practically canonized Star Trek Online's entire fleet roster all at once. That's awesome. 🙂

Starfleet's materials shortages may explain why they can't seem to afford enough light bulbs to properly illuminate their vessels. Thank goodness Geordi was able to scrounge up enough for the bridge of the refitted Enterprise-D.

The Enterprise-D got the ending it deserved.

When it comes to the Ent-D flying like she's a fighter...I'd bet under normal circumstances those sorts of moves would rather shorten the lifespan of a ship's hull, which is why you wouldn't typically see those maneuvers. But given the situation, and the fact she's just going to be going back to a museum if they survived, there'd be no real harm in pushing the old girl to her limits just that once.

Fans complain about everything, as for the D flying like a space ship . Watch the next generation episode relics see how the enterprise D flies like a fighter out of the Dyson spear

I firmly believe that renaming the Titan to the Enterprise was a mistake on the writer's part. It's very disrespectful to the original ship name, which was an honored legacy name btw hence the A. Its also disrespectful to Shaw renaming his ship after his passing. The Enterprise has also always been the name of the flagship, and pinnacle design of Starfleet. The Conny 3 class looks like a refit from the 23rd century, and is a massive downgrade from the Enterprise F. For many reasons this renaming was just wrong, and I would hope the writers and show runners can find a way to listen to fans and retcon this. That ship should stay as the Titan under Capt Seven.

This rebuilt Enterprise-D is even stronger than the original D thanks to the stardrive from the USS Syracuse, which I'm willing to gamble was a Dominion War variant of the Galaxy class. You know, those brick walls that form the heart of the Starfleet battlegroups.

One of the things I really appreciate about Star Trek as a franchise is the refits. I get while in reality this was a way for the show to save money, but it is something that most fictional settings don’t bother with

I was wondering why the entire season was short on light bulbs, until they arrived on the Enterprise D bridge. It was all so the good lighting there could be a contrast and look like a relief and a sign that the heroes were finally on the right tack.

The ships this season were amazing, sadly my favorite was the Enterprise F. The Titan-A just isnt a looker like the beautiful Odyssey class F, which with its Galaxy inspired bridge was sort of a muscular evolved Enterprise E with interior elements and size taken from the Enterprise D.

I think the D getting down like it was in Ace Combat was thanks to Data. He multi-tasked the thrusters like a god.

I really liked the Intrepid. I thought the underslung pod and general layout gave it a real sense of menace, almost from the Tom Paris school of design "Want trouble to look the other way? Look like you will phaser a fool for just thinking of scanning you!" Also I had to let the whole Titan refit issue go because it was driving me batty. Seems like it was more a plot element to drive conflict than to make any sense at all.

On the one hand, they call the Titan a 'refit', but on the other hand, it's called the Titan A, rather than just the Titan, suggesting it's a new ship.

The way D's nacelles glinted as they exited the museum was gorgeous. The new camera angles were also amazing, all the ones that that the physical model could never achieve.

Such a huge rush of nostalgiia when I saw our TNG crew back on the bridge of the Enterprise D, made my geek heart very happy. And Riker commenting "I missed that voice" when we hear the D's computer was a lovely little touch, and a nice way to include the late Majel Barret Rodenberry

My favorite of this season is seeing Spacedock "tank" an armada of such size and firepower for so long! You could see a few ships succumbing to the station's firepower as well.

I think that the Galaxy is ABLE to move like that, but doesn't because it puts the crew at greater risk due to the increased load on the inertial dampeners. Similar to how impulse drives CAN move faster than 1/3 c but don't due to the relativistic effects.

The Enterprise D's ability to maneuver in space is limited by 3 factors.

The deflector you talk about on the Pathfinder is the secondary deflector for space magic - its main deflector is in its traditional position on the engineering hull
