Congratzulations both of you! @Arthadonis, looking forward to seeing you more on the Discord since you are a lot of fun! @Vel Careno welcome to the Columbia! I look forward to meeting you. 😁

Welcome to the club all! And Blaidd, I believe it's spelled 🍹tails, not [...]tails. 😛

Has this actually been confirmed? And how? If so, I'm really happy. 🎉

This really was a great season-opener! It was action-packed (which is good for a season opener, but I hope it calms down over the episodes), and story-driven. I love the new Pike (he's kinda like Lorca, but hopefully a "good guy), and I loved Tig too. 😆 I was glad they killed the science officer, he was too snug. The engineer of the trio seems interesting though. I really hoped Pike would keep his yellow and new uniform, but that's a nitpick. At least, I'm glad that they explained the difference in uniforms (at least on-screen) now. One last thing, I really hoped they would turn down the holograms this season, because it just doesn't fit in the TOS-era, I was dissappointed. However, I am really positive about what will happen in season two! 🖖

Gefeliciteerd, makker! Veel plezier op de Montreal, en let je een beetje op die Denobulan? Die wil nog wel eens gekke dingen doen... 😁
(Congratulations, bud! Have fun on the Montreal, and would you mind paying attention to that Denobulan? He tends to do crazy things sometimes... 😁)

It's missing the most challenging (for me ofc): Science! I have researched particles and phenomena for hours for a mission sim to make it all scientifically accurate, only to see other people have simmed it before I finished my own sim. 😅 I have a different kind of respect for all posts of course, but my experience lies in the science department.

Is there an international mirror of this? Isn't working for me in the Netherlands. 😕

And if I may, thank you for always bringing fun to the Discord, representing us Denobulan bois, and initiating SIMSCON, which is already a lot of fun. ❤️

Although I do love Romulan designs, I personally adore the early Vulcan ships. I love their warps rings, and the red color also helps. 🖖

@Roshanara Rahman Thanks, I'll look into it!
@FltAdml. Wolf That could be an explanation, indeed. But as seen in the image in my original post, the ship is out of the proportion that we see on TV if we keep the length of 415 meters and height of 113 meters. So we could fill the height with hulls indeed, but that would leave us with a ship that looks like this.

I recently started doing research into my favorite ship/class: the Prometheus. It is my long-term goal to captain one, and I've recently picked up doing vector graphics and I'm trying to make deck plans for this beauty. However, I ran into some problems.
The ship is supposed to have 15 (according to SB118 and Star Trek Magazine) or 16 (according to STexpanded; ignoring this) decks. According to our wiki and Memory Beta, the ship is 113 meters high. This immediately causes problems. The ship has the same amount of decks as the Intrepid class, which is only 64 meters high, so in theory the Prometheus should be about as high. The average height of a deck on the Prometheus would be 7.53 meters, which could be two decks on any other ship. So calculating with a standard height of four meters per deck the ship should have about 28 decks.
So I realized the ship either has way more decks or is way less high. I reached that conclusion very quickly using Paint, because all sources state a length of 415 meters. Please compare these two (link to original picture, which is slightly out of the Voyager height proportion)
The top one is with a height of 64 meters and 15 decks. The bottom one is with a height of 113 meters and 28 decks. Both with a length of 415 meters. If you don't recognize it immediately, the left one depicts the original prometheus waaaay better. So I think the 64 meters should be taken as the height, or a value close to that. Another way of calculating height solely using this picture would be to count pixels. The (original; not scaled by me) picture is 600 pixels wide and 80 high, so using the 415 as a length we can calculate a height of 55 meters. Not sure what to do with this, and I'd like to hear y'all's opinion on this matter.
Rant over.

Welcome to the Columbia, Jona!
You have good taste in ships. 😉

Pholin would love to tell the species what the Federation has accomplished, probably getting pride telling someone who has never heard about it. He would probably love to have talked to the woman in First Contact who came aboard the E. Telling her what has changed in three hundred years.
Whether or not he could do it? I don't know.

Thanks, everyone! Really looking forward to simming for SB118.

As more and more people on the USS Columbia grow facial hair, ensign @Jona ch'Ranni ponders over the trend. Jona, this was a humorous read and I loved how you managed to express Jona's thoughts so well! ❤️
