Comment on Star Trek Prodigy season 2 spoilers

a refitted Intrepid-class and outfitted with technology Voyager gathered from her 7-year journey through the Delta Quadrant. It has 29 decks, 800+ crew and 2 schools, compared to Voyager’s 15 decks and 160 crew.

How do you fit 14 extra decks into a refit? with that many decks this ship would be the size of a sovereign class.

It’s a refitted Lamarr class, not an Intrepid class

  Yes, that is what I was saying…

As we’ve seen in PIC with the Titan-A, Starfleet engineers have a very loose definition of what constitutes a refit. Basically as long as you use some of the old structure in the new one, no matter how many doodads you add or on expand it, they call it a refit.

  I don’t think that flies here. The Luna class and Neo-Connie have arguably similar internal volume so taking the bits out of a Luna could be enough to drive a Neo-Connie. Going from Intrepid sized to Sovereign sized though is a much bigger jump. Also I don’t see where you’re getting the word “refit” from in the first place? are you just assuming cause the ship is roughly intrepid shaped?

    I may have misinterpreted what the Doctor was saying - “Lamarr Special-class… refitted from stem to stern”. He could be referring to a refitted Lamarr.

    I don’t think your assessment of the Luna-class and the Constitution III is accurate. They are entirely different, and the PIC production crew deciding that “refit” is basically just a word that the Starfleet Corps of Engineers will drop at a hat doesn’t change that.

    The instagram log that explains the history of the Titan A claims that it was constructed “using much of the internal components” of the Luna-class ship, and that’s why it’s a refit, but that plans to build the new ship on the spaceframe of the old were set aside mid-way through.

    Obviously the Neo-Connie space frame is a new build due to its size but I don’t see how that stops them from reusing the warp core, warp coils, computer core, etc.
