They should have made the Titan this one in Picard.
The "Neo-Constitution" class smacks of lazy fanservice.
You can tell I'm bad about actually reading all the Trek books I own because this video is how I found out there was a fold out diagram of the Titan in a book I've had sitting on the shelf since I was a child. 😅
I have a question,but to ask it I have to diverge into another wifi series to explain my question. In Jason of starcommand the capital ships were asteroids with small collage towns or military bases and drive systems built on them. My question is does starfleet or anyone else have anything like this in star trek?
Kudos to the guy that designed this ship. It stayed true to the time line and what would a future tng ship of the the late 24th century would look like. Personally, I like the titan A but the design just doesn’t fit what a ship from the early 25th century would look like. I get it that they were going for that retro look. Kinda like what mustangs and chargers tried to accomplish.
NCC 80102 Luna class starship USS Titan nice federation Starfleet starship. That's in the 24th century interesting.
Riker’s Titan is an amazing ship design — infinitely superior to the FUGLY “Neo-Constitution”-class Titan-A from ST: Picard S3. I love that the Luna-class appears to be the Miranda/Nebula-style counterpart to the Sovereign-class, and incorporated the most popular features of the First Contact starships, like the Sovereign’s elegant no-neck design and the Akira’s ventral swept nacelles and torpedo roll bar.
It’s a terrible shame that the Titan has only been depicted in the ST: Lower Decks animated series, and ST: Picard’s idiotic writers and ship design team contrived the Titan-A for Season 3.
WHY was the Titan replaced so quickly? There’s no record of Riker’s Titan being destroyed, which means it was apparently retired <17 years after it was commissioned in 2379, because the Titan-A was launched in 2396. It would’ve made a lot more sense for Picard and Riker’s plan to hitch a ride on the Titan if it was actually Riker’s old ship and crew, not an entirely new ship and crew, which happened to have the Titan-A name — and Riker’s jazz music database for some stupid reason.
NCC 2596 nice federation starship. Thank you LT Commander Adam for sharing this unique video
How is the Titan A a refit of the Luna class Titan. Since when does a refit make a ship look completely different. We know what the Titan looked like, they even showed it on Lower Decks. When they did a refit on the constitution class it still looked similar, same with the excelsior class/enterprise refit, and the galaxy class during the Dominion war, the NX and the Colombia even in season 5 they would have just added a secondary hull. I like the neo constitution class but that is a different ship.
The Titan is the hatchback to the Sovereign sedan.
Realy enjoy your presentation, great use of humour. But you're English man, it should be pronounced leftennant commander even though its spelt lieutenant.
I definitely prefer the original Luna Titan , no bloody A, B, C, or D.
This Titan to Titan-A thing makes no sense.
Such a cool looking ship!!
This is just an off the cuff observation, but if the modern Titan is composed of the previous ships, does this hint at something of a rush for Starfleet to get ships out and operational? In a way, it seems to be kit bashing in and of itself, albeit in a much more fluid and organic manner. I wonder if this rush reflects the desperate need for ships, or if perhaps it is indicative of a new method of construction where "nothing goes to waste". Anyway, I'm sure that there are stated reasons out there that I have not seen. but I will say that, having grown up on Classic Trek and the original movies… I LOVE the new design.
The Titan-A is a refit of a Shangri-La class, the actual original Titan.
🥇For you my friend!
I'd have much rather they kept the Luna class for Picard. It's a nice design. The Titan-A is much less pleasing to my eye, like they took TOS ship parts and STO ship parts and awkwardly smooshed them together.
The Titan A was actually said to have launched in 2396 as Shaw said he has been Captain of it through 5 years and 32 missions. I lean to think that Season 3 is in 2401, since it is the 250th Frontier Day, which would put it as exactly 250 years since the launch of NX-01 Enterprise.
Loved this class , and the new titan A is growing on me , I hope the hull of new titan is tougher than I’ve seen so far an I thought Star fleet said all ships would be well armed since the borg an Dominion wars , hmmm I’d like to have seen Titian A give the strike a run for its money any how , but maybe the USS Enertprise F I’ll drop in an give old strike a pounding if not this may get boaring , I mean they have fought an defeated stronger ships , break out the Quantum’s an the pulse phasers of the defiant an let’s see how they like that on Picard
The original Titan looks much tougher than the Titan-A.
I don’t see how any of this ship is now part of the new retro fit neo constitution Titan A???
at 4:30 , what is that from ?
