I believe we saw them in TOS. Although I may be wrong. The fact remains it looks completely out of place for a TOS style ship, and these ships are supposed to be the predecessors for TOS ships.
And it is Starfleet.
So? 22nd century Starfleet =/= 24th century Starfleet.
They shouldn't have any similarities besides the name and rank structure.
And the NX was the first warp-five vessel, not the first exploratory ship, IIRC.
You're right. That should read "the first deep space exploration vessel".
The point remains they should still be mostly ignorant of what shape is best.
It's not pathetic.
Like I said, it has every design flaw Starfleet ever thought up and adds a few new ones. I'd call that pathetic.
It's simple, clean and a fundamental distillation of Starfleet design to the basics.
Except it shouldn't look like a Starfleet ship at all. Why the hell does it look like an
Akira, a ship that wont be invented for another two hundred years. What happened to Starfleets sleek designs during TOS? They shouldn't be sleek at all back then. They should be modular and primitive looking.
And congrats Mikey!
