I like Star Trek, Death Stranding, sitcoms, my bike, my motorcycle I never ride, and other stuff.
3) As for the hinge, what about basing on a bio elbow joint, or a few in series. It would capture some of that Galaxy-class organic quality and impossible engineering aspect Starfleet should have.

2) You can also have normaler looking fittings which rotate somehow. If the ring rotated around an axis without displacing, then you just need to elbow fittings to meet at the axis of rotation. If it displaces, you need two elbows connected to two c like bends which meet at the axis.

1) To get fluids to move in a joint like that without bending hoses would take a hinged connection. Think of it like a hollow donut cut in half long wise and pressed back together by a bolt through the donut hole, and a pipe coming off either half. The halves rotate independently, but stay sealed.

A lot of people seem to stall on the first area but the fact is you can rush through it without any penalty and go back later to complete it.

It’s an amazing game. Probably the game I want to recommend most, except it’s so polarizing.

It's not even hard or particularly time consuming to cut and paste one image over another.
Early on I tried LLM stuff, and even with a good concept the results were so bad it completely turned me off from it. Even now with random stuff I see it still manages to be unusually off putting.

It almost had a saucer slapped on, among other hull shapes, and it looked really bad. Well, too normal. Getting turrets to play nice with conventional Starfleet ships is hard.

The Jutland class is named for debatably inconclusive or pointless battles sometimes featuring new technology, as a kind of commentary on the utility of the class. Other ships of the class are the Saint-Martin-de-Ré, Artemision, Daecheong, and others.

I really like how the fixed phasers look like giant Type 2 phasers.

Using tensegrity to imply less sophisticated engineering was brilliant. I think it was a relatively new concept in real life, but definitely less advanced than what we see in TNG with structural integrity fields.

The different levels have been made into their own games by various people. I played a demo of a game like the creature stage and one or two cellular life games. Though there is something special going from single cell creature all the way to space fairing in a single game.

Didn‘t Paris convinced its metro union to go along with automation by promising them different jobs? Maybe that needs to be the goal.

That works. The size bracket is pretty loose given the connecting point is the Defiant and its size is all over the place, unless you want the one string of comparison. Just go with what ever expresses your thinking on the Dominion state of technology and combat design philosophy.

My understanding is it was a mad scramble to get the show going given how little attention Fuller paid the project and how everyone was waiting for him, so they probably had to outsource the designs. He seemed focused only on the ship and how it would play into a few vague concepts.

They could have just said the villain ship is more powerful, which they did anyway. As strong as the new Stargazer looks, 1) it’s not the Enterprise, 2) it’s as strong or week as it is written to be.

They even worked the idea into the background info by saying the naval architects wanted the retro aesthetic when designing the new Titan. I would have preferred it left a mystery.

That should be a movie. Call it Holy Player, have it so he’s really bad but keeps showing up because he believes it’s his god given calling as pope to play sports. Bill & Ted without time travel.

I used to think the Star Trek interpretation was, as fun as it was, too dumb to be true, but it's completely correct.

It's amazing how right old scifi is about robots and AI. From Terminator, all the way back to Star Trek, and how they misinterpret instructions, eventually do random stuff, and are easily manipulated by specific instructions to ignore other instructions.
