I want a runabout!

It's like an RV, but with warp and replicators. What's not to like?

The Excelsior-class is one of my favorites. A bit wonky from a top-down view, but gorgeous from every other angle.

The Sovereign-class continues the general aesthetic of the Excelsior, but for the TNG-era design style and fixing the problem with high angle views.

The Valdore-type warbird from Nemesis is probably the best thing about that movie.

The Klingon D4 from Into Darkness is similarly one of the better things from that movie.

The NX-class Refit is also just shockingly pretty. Makes the original look incomplete.

Not canon, but I love the original “Long-boi” Discovery design. It gives off some very cool art-deco retro-futurism vibes. Not very classically “trek” but I love it nonetheless!

That is the canon design for the Discovery before the far future refit it got.

I've heard that Data was originally going to be a science officer and the blue uniform didn't work with his makeup, but I don't know whether or not it was true.

I think the police state was their solution to infighting in much the same way that Surak's faction took up a quasi-religious adherence to logic.

I didn't even get to listen to all of it because the app always wants to autoplay Hegemony.

Alternatively, do what they did with Bashir and suddenly reveal that he replaced Bradward at some indeterminate point during season 4.

I'm pretty sure he was also the only command division officer on the bridge after they gave him command. At least in theory, due to differences in training, a lieutenant jg from the command track may be better suited for acting captaincy than a full lieutenant from science, especially with a decidedly non-sciency mission like flinging a warship at a wall. You need that dash of crazy that Starfleet's command officers tend to have.

Voyager had phasers on the pylons. The Enterprise-D actually got phasers added to the nacelles, of all thing, in a later season. I don't think either ship was actually seen firing them, though.

The quote from Sputnik he read was especially memorable.

And if you need parts bigger than the replicator can produce, you just replicate the parts for a bigger replicator.

Or Farscape's. We got The Peacekeeper Wars to wrap it up eventually, though.

I'm not keen on the nuclear hellfire bit, but visiting Risa does sound nice...
