THEY'RE NOT GOING TO KEEP THE EXCELSIOR IN ACTION FOR 115 YEARS, ARE YOU INSANE

"Oh but-" NO. SHIPS GET OLD. YOU CAN'T JUST BOLT NEW PARTS TO THEM FOREVER, IT STARTS TO FUCK THINGS UP

Eventually "We'll just bolt a new warp core or phaser array on" just doesn't work

Those Miranda-Class vessels definietly had extensions cords plugged into other extension cords

@BadSocialism We really got spoiled in the 90s right after cgi where they were like "we have all these models AND can composite them in real easy! Every ship there's ever been in the biggest battles ya!"

@BadSocialism Also a lot of those very old ships got massively fucked up during multiple conflicts, they can’t keep patching them back up and expecting them to run fine.

@BadSocialism Yeah, ideally the correct balance is somewhere between a fleet of thousands of identical new ships and a fleet of familiar ships many of which should have been retired. Where was the Inquiry class anyway?

@BadSocialism But why do the new ships have to look like shit? 🤔

@BadSocialism Until I saw your follow-ups I had to wonder if you meant "ships" literally or were referring to Seven/Raffi.

@BadSocialism I am once again asking Trekkies to consider talking about anything other than the technology because THAT’S NOT THE POINT OF THESE STORIES 🤦🏽‍♂️

@BadSocialism I hope they do! Otherwise, so boring

@BadSocialism I haven’t seen the ships in Picard yet but I know Thomas and Hector helped out designing them ergo I already love them because Thomas and Hector does an amazing job

@BadSocialism Thanks for making the rest of us look like chumps.

@BadSocialism And before anyone wants to argue as well... where's the original Enterprise? Junked. They built Enterprise D all new and didn't add things for a refit from the one prior. 🙄

@BadSocialism No

@BadSocialism No!

@BadSocialism It actually always bugged me you didn't see more TNG era designed ships like the Cheyenne. You see blurry images in Best of Both Worlds, and the Nebula class ship. That's it.

@BadSocialism Plenty of letters left in the alphabet

@BadSocialism Is it the Trekkies fault though? We didn't make the show. I think more trekkies think the Excelsior should be decommissioned than think it should still be active.
