USS Franklin dedication plaque, Star Trek Beyond. Note the slight gap in the name - that’s a reference to Frank Lin, director Justin Lin’s father.

The Enterprise having a giant inflatable decoy is something the fandom really doesn’t give enough attention to. (TAS: “The Practical Joker”)

The classic movie Enterprise wasn’t designed with enough escape pods for the whole crew.  Starfleet Officer Requirements gets around this with the idea of inflatable escape pods - which is all well and good until your ship explodes and your life raft is shredded by shrapnel.

3 minutes into playing Star Trek: 25th Anniversary on the Nintendo Entertainment System (Interplay, 1992) and I present to you the greatest screenshot of all-time

Seen for almost one entire second in Into Darkness, I keep wondering if this is the Kelvin universe version of Janice Rand.

While it doesn’t really fit anymore since Enterprise came along, this is my favourite version of how the Mirror Universe diverged from Trek Prime. (DC Comics’ Star Trek #13, April 1985)

I love Ex Astris Scientia because of their frustration with sizing. Especially the sizing of the kitbash ships.

I had battles with them back in 2013 over the size of the reboot movie Enterprise, which to this day they insist is the size of the classic movie ship despite it being pretty clear she's intended to be much, much bigger⬇️

I've long, long since stopped caring about such things, though. Star Trek ships are magical places which change and warp to fit whatever today's episode or movie needs inside and that's all they'll ever be😂 Voyager's shuttlebay never looked the same twice.

Excelsior needs to be twice as big as she's supposed to be in order to fit all the decks shown in her window rows. The Klingon bird of prey is always the same size, whether next to the old small Enterprise or the giant Next Gen version.

BTS design documents for Strange New Worlds' engine room literally say "scale cheat required to fit" under the cutaway diagram!

And that's not counting the full-on insanity of Discovery's third season😂 (I think they write off Disco as an alternate universe anyway)

So... yeah. To be that hardcore, trying to establish sizes based on random jumbled ship parts with broken sizes to begin with, must be soul destroying.
