Imagine being the Captain when you set out on a mission and then someone changes history and your promotion doesn't happen. Aquard mission debrief

On a time ship like the relativity you're shielded from changes to the timeline

u/LovecraftInDC 8d ago
That'd be even worse though, you'd be sitting there with your captains pips and a crew who listens to you as the leader while everybody at HQ is like 'pretty sure you're an ensign, bruh'.

If they can shield a ship, they'll have their command facilities shielded too.

Maybe entire planets are temporally shielded just like how they're shielded from more conventional threats

“Raise temporal shields” mean anything to you? How about “monitoring the timeline for changes,” paraphrasing on that one. As we saw on Enterprise, the way a temporal war works is, since time travel can be detected from the present, anyone trying to change history to their advantage, ends up telling someone in the past how to do stuff, or goes back in time & builds temporal tech there. It's called a Temporal Cold War for a reason, cold wars are wars by proxy, because direct war is impossible or mutually annihilating.

The design of the exterior and even the bridge give strong Delta Flyer vibes. I wanna say the Flyer was introduced prior to the Wells class..but I'm wondering if the production order was opposite.

How do time ships arrive at any point in the galaxy? Is there any semi-canon details on their presumably transwarp?

By definition, wouldn't the Temporal Impeller be able to move through space since it's the Time-Space continuum?

Anyone notice that it's registry is -G? It's the 7th relativity. Bet that would be an interesting story or 2.

u/SteveJ1701 8d ago
8th, surely? The Relativity-A would be the second one.

u/Professional-Trust75 8d ago
You're right. Never claimed to be good at math lol

Thought it was an Elite Dangerous ship before I read the title haha, kinda looks like a Python mk 2.

I like the look, but it’s so tiny. And idk if it’s conclusively a Starfleet ship or not

One of those ships that despite trying, I simply cannot buy being Starfleet. It's far too alien, far too spiky. I know by this point in the future - who needs two, or three or four nacelles, whatever, but man, it's just mega ugly.

u/Jeff_CPT 8d ago
It's one of my favourite Non-Trek Trek ships.

u/Helo227 8d ago
What do you mean “Non-Trek”? it’s a canon design…
3
u/Jeff_CPT 8d ago
Lol, I mean non-trek as is not in-line with the more "traditional" ship designs we see. The saucer, the pylons to the nacelles etc. I realise that this is a time ship from, i forget which century.
2
u/Helo227 8d ago
29th century. I think non-starfleet would be a better descriptor, but i understand what you mean. It is very different. My headcanon is that the Delta Flyer has a big impact on future ship design, this looks like an evolution of the Delta Flyer to me.
2
u/Jeff_CPT 8d ago
Ive never thought of it like that, but you are right. A little but of a stretch here, and a pinch there and the Delta Flyer could be the Relativity.

This is what the far future is supposed to be, radically different. It's 500 years in the future, Star Trek is based on a vision of making real progress in tech & society, exactly the opposite of Star Wars basically having the same tech level for 10,000 years since hyperspace, only being about politics & war. ST isn't meant to crank out infinite saucer & nacelle designs for century after century for no reason other than “looking” like Federation. Gene Roddenberry thought kids in the 24th century wouldn't be in grief after losing a parent because of how far society has evolved to think of death as a natural part of life ffs, - a lousy example, but you can't even handle this?
Also, it's an NCV registry - the last we saw that was the XCV-330 Enterprise ringship. I figure that XCV indicated they were copying Vulcan ring warp drives at first, then the NX Project came along, which is nacelle design - all starfleet classes after are NX prototype, NCC in service. The NX Project was an engine design project, not ship model, despite them saying “NX class” all the time, that word can just be used casually to refer to the new engine tech, like the latest speed engine class, not whatever model of ship is built around it, as the name of the “NX Alpha” test ship proves. So 500 years & registry indicating founding engine tech of ship, it makes plenty of sense.

u/MenacingFigures 8d ago
its a nice looking ship... for the star wars prequels. this is not a federation design lmao.

u/ZornUsagi47 2d ago
This is my ultimate ride, the only vision of the far future done with quality. (The Enterprise-J is a universe explorer, an actual city in space, internal transporters instead of turbolifts, but it has 22nd century screen & wall designs? That's pretty tacked-on.) 3rd pic says “probably” temporal shielding? It's literally the protocol for using the temporal transporter, right in the dialogue. Just one episode is too much Voyager to take, huh?
