![]() Primary Hull(s): We know that it's really just the surface of both saucer rings that rotate and not the whole thing. Without all the moving pieces, the neck would not need to be so humped and may have been significantly smaller. Hull Interconnect: This is where things start to get tricky, as this part of the ship would likely have needed a substantial rebuild or even replacement to accommodate the spinning saucer bits. All the twisting and rolling the spore jump is known for (visually anyway) could help justify this. ![]() Given that most of her contemporaries don't have any similar features, I'd like to think they could be straightforward hull reinforcements. Secondary Hull: There are these large, conspicuous diagonal "stripes" which aren't just paint. There are convenient hull seams on the ship model where an "original" length nacelles would simply stop, so it's possible IMO that the ship's originally-designed nacelles are still there, but were just extended lengthwise to accommodate sporific stuff. Rather, I think they would simply be shorter than we see, by at least 25 percent or even half. In a non-spore drive, I don't think their originals would be round nacelles we see that there are a couple counterpart ship classes with those distinctive triple bussard collectors (or whatever they are) up front. Warp nacelles: Arguably the most incongruent part of the ship, as they are incredibly long compared to any of its contemporaries. I'm no artist, but I'm looking at the model and thinking how different a non-spore Crossfield would look, so I'll point you to the following resources:Īnd with those in hand, we could consider the various parts of the ship exterior and how they could look different: This suggests therefore that there's some "unmodified" version of the Crossfield class out there, hypothetical or even in service at some point, that doesn't have a spore drive and is merely a beefy science vessel with a lot of space. I think it's reasonable that the Crossfield was designed and even built some time prior to our first Discovery sighting, and that at least the Discovery and Glenn were extensively modified into what we see in the show, to reflect the implementation of the spore drive. My headcanon has me justifying the ship as being "brand new" in 2258 while still having a lower NCC number, which I still want to believe is loosely chronological as of Discovery's premiere. I've come to appreciate the design overall, and while it's not about to crack my top five list you simply have to admire the skill and effort put into making this ship look good for the 2017-onwards audience. The following Discovery Legends requisition projects require P.I recently appropriated the Eaglemoss Discovery model for a dynamite price, and have spent the last while just admiring it. Complete a Reputation Upgrade Project to convert 100 Discovery Marks into 1 P.stellaviatori Spore Canister (once every 20 hours).Chance of dropping from a Discovery Requisition Pack.PvE TFOs on Advanced reward one, while Elite difficulty rewards two. P.stellaviatori Spore Canisters can be earned by various means. Accumulating as many samples from as many different locations as possible can help us understand how they do what they do, reaching beyond the limits of our current understanding. Discovery's experimental drive system to great effect, but their contributions to science may be just beginning. P.stellaviatori Spores were used by the U.S.S. Used as input for obtaining set gear from Discovery Legends reputation projects. P.stellaviatori Spore Canisters are earned by completing missions that help support the Discovery Legends Initiative.
