Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n

[Welcome to Daystrom Institute!](https://startrek.website/post/73)\n
\n
Serious, in-depth discussion about *Star Trek* from both in-universe and real world perspectives.\n
\n
Read more about [how to comment at Daystrom](https://startrek.website/post/175954).\n
\n
##### **Rules**\n
\n
**1. Explain your reasoning**\n
\n
All threads and comments submitted to the Daystrom Institute must contain an explanation of the reasoning put forth.\n
\n
**2. No whinging, jokes, memes, and other shallow content.**\n
\n
This entire community has a “serious tag” on it. Shitposts are encouraged in [Risa](https://startrek.website/c/risa).\n
\n
**3. Be diplomatic.**\n
\n
Participate in a courteous, objective, and open-minded fashion. Be nice to other posters and the people who make *Star Trek.* Disagree respectfully and don’t gatekeep.\n
\n
**4. Assume good faith.**\n
\n
Assume good faith. Give other posters the benefit of the doubt, but report them if you genuinely believe they are trolling. Don’t whine about “politics.”\n
\n
**5. Tag spoilers.**\n
\n
Historically Daystrom has not had a spoiler policy, so you may encounter untagged spoilers here. Ultimately, avoiding online discussion until you are caught up is the only certain way to avoid spoilers.\n
\n
**6. Stay on-topic.**\n
\n
Threads must discuss Star Trek. Comments must discuss the topic raised in the original post.\n
\n
#### **Episode Guides**\n

Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

+title: "Wild theory about the Mysterious Ship"
+url: null
+body: """
Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

+title: "Wild theory about the Mysterious Ship"
+url: null
+body: """
Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

[Welcome to Daystrom Institute!](https://startrek.website/post/73)\n
\n
Serious, in-depth discussion about *Star Trek* from both in-universe and real world perspectives.\n
\n
Read more about [how to comment at Daystrom](https://startrek.website/post/175954).\n
\n
##### **Rules**\n
\n
**1. Explain your reasoning**\n
\n
All threads and comments submitted to the Daystrom Institute must contain an explanation of the reasoning put forth.\n
\n
**2. No whinging, jokes, memes, and other shallow content.**\n
\n
This entire community has a “serious tag” on it. Shitposts are encouraged in [Risa](https://startrek.website/c/risa).\n
\n
**3. Be diplomatic.**\n
\n
Participate in a courteous, objective, and open-minded fashion. Be nice to other posters and the people who make *Star Trek.* Disagree respectfully and don’t gatekeep.\n
\n
**4. Assume good faith.**\n
\n
Assume good faith. Give other posters the benefit of the doubt, but report them if you genuinely believe they are trolling. Don’t whine about “politics.”\n
\n
**5. Tag spoilers.**\n
\n
Historically Daystrom has not had a spoiler policy, so you may encounter untagged spoilers here. Ultimately, avoiding online discussion until you are caught up is the only certain way to avoid spoilers.\n
\n
**6. Stay on-topic.**\n
\n
Threads must discuss Star Trek. Comments must discuss the topic raised in the original post.\n
\n
#### **Episode Guides**\n

+title: "Wild theory about the Mysterious Ship"
+url: null
+body: """
Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

+title: "Wild theory about the Mysterious Ship"
+url: null
+body: """
Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n

[Welcome to Daystrom Institute!](https://startrek.website/post/73)\n
\n
Serious, in-depth discussion about *Star Trek* from both in-universe and real world perspectives.\n
\n
Read more about [how to comment at Daystrom](https://startrek.website/post/175954).\n
\n
##### **Rules**\n
\n
**1. Explain your reasoning**\n
\n
All threads and comments submitted to the Daystrom Institute must contain an explanation of the reasoning put forth.\n
\n
**2. No whinging, jokes, memes, and other shallow content.**\n
\n
This entire community has a “serious tag” on it. Shitposts are encouraged in [Risa](https://startrek.website/c/risa).\n
\n
**3. Be diplomatic.**\n
\n
Participate in a courteous, objective, and open-minded fashion. Be nice to other posters and the people who make *Star Trek.* Disagree respectfully and don’t gatekeep.\n
\n
**4. Assume good faith.**\n
\n
Assume good faith. Give other posters the benefit of the doubt, but report them if you genuinely believe they are trolling. Don’t whine about “politics.”\n
\n
**5. Tag spoilers.**\n
\n
Historically Daystrom has not had a spoiler policy, so you may encounter untagged spoilers here. Ultimately, avoiding online discussion until you are caught up is the only certain way to avoid spoilers.\n
\n
**6. Stay on-topic.**\n
\n
Threads must discuss Star Trek. Comments must discuss the topic raised in the original post.\n
\n
#### **Episode Guides**\n
\n

\n

+title: "Wild theory about the Mysterious Ship"
+url: null
+body: """
Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

+title: "Wild theory about the Mysterious Ship"
+url: null
+body: """
Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

+title: "Wild theory about the Mysterious Ship"
+url: null
+body: """
Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

+title: "Wild theory about the Mysterious Ship"
+url: null
+body: """
Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

+title: "Wild theory about the Mysterious Ship"
+url: null
+body: """
Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

[Welcome to Daystrom Institute!](https://startrek.website/post/73)\n
\n
Serious, in-depth discussion about *Star Trek* from both in-universe and real world perspectives.\n

\n
**3. Be diplomatic.**\n
\n
Participate in a courteous, objective, and open-minded fashion. Be nice to other posters and the people who make *Star Trek.* Disagree respectfully and don’t gatekeep.\n
\n
**4. Assume good faith.**\n
\n
Assume good faith. Give other posters the benefit of the doubt, but report them if you genuinely believe they are trolling. Don’t whine about “politics.”\n
\n
**5. Tag spoilers.**\n

Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

[Welcome to Daystrom Institute!](https://startrek.website/post/73)\n
\n
Serious, in-depth discussion about *Star Trek* from both in-universe and real world perspectives.\n
\n
Read more about [how to comment at Daystrom](https://startrek.website/post/175954).\n
\n
##### **Rules**\n
\n
**1. Explain your reasoning**\n
\n
All threads and comments submitted to the Daystrom Institute must contain an explanation of the reasoning put forth.\n
\n
**2. No whinging, jokes, memes, and other shallow content.**\n
\n
This entire community has a “serious tag” on it. Shitposts are encouraged in [Risa](https://startrek.website/c/risa).\n
\n
**3. Be diplomatic.**\n
\n
Participate in a courteous, objective, and open-minded fashion. Be nice to other posters and the people who make *Star Trek.* Disagree respectfully and don’t gatekeep.\n
\n
**4. Assume good faith.**\n
\n
Assume good faith. Give other posters the benefit of the doubt, but report them if you genuinely believe they are trolling. Don’t whine about “politics.”\n
\n
**5. Tag spoilers.**\n
\n
Historically Daystrom has not had a spoiler policy, so you may encounter untagged spoilers here. Ultimately, avoiding online discussion until you are caught up is the only certain way to avoid spoilers.\n
\n
**6. Stay on-topic.**\n
\n
Threads must discuss Star Trek. Comments must discuss the topic raised in the original post.\n

+body: """
Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n

\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n

Face. Hips. Legs.\n

The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n

[Welcome to Daystrom Institute!](https://startrek.website/post/73)\n
\n
Serious, in-depth discussion about *Star Trek* from both in-universe and real world perspectives.\n
\n
Read more about [how to comment at Daystrom](https://startrek.website/post/175954).\n

Participate in a courteous, objective, and open-minded fashion. Be nice to other posters and the people who make *Star Trek.* Disagree respectfully and don’t gatekeep.\n
\n
**4. Assume good faith.**\n

Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

Okay, so… I want to open with the observation that all the ships that have been attacked by the mysterious ship have been CGI.\n
\n
Lower Decks tends to default to 2D unless the ship either will get a lot of screen time (California Class, Shuttles), offer fan service (Titan, Voyager, DS9, Sovereign Class), or get into combat (Bird of Prey, Clump Ship, Sh’Val, Texas Class, Green vessel).\n
\n
Basically, Titmouse gets their money’s worth from CGI models, and will use 2D where otherwise practical.\n
\n
This season, as far as I can tell, all the attacked vessels have been CGI. Their screen time has all been extremely short. With the exception of the Bird of Prey (from 3 ships) all the attacked ships have been new to the series.\n
\n
That said, their on screen appearances could’ve easily been substituted with 2D illustrations. Most of the ships barely move, which is perfect for 2D, but they opted instead for more expensive CGI.\n
\n
Whatever McMahon has planned for these ships. it isn’t going to be small.\n
\n
---\n
\n
With that stated. When the mysterious ship reorients itself to attack position, I can’t help but feel like it looks kinda like a face. But humans are hard coded to see faces in things, so I didn’t think much of it.\n
\n
Then I saw the Bynar ship.\n
\n
The ‘nacelles’ on the ship connect to a hub in the back… and it looks to me like hinges. Like the nacelles could arbitrarily reorient themselves like a pair of thighs attached to a hip.\n
\n
Face. Hips. Legs.\n
\n
The mysterious ship can’t be stealing all these vessels for salvage. We’ve already seen that done with the Pakleds. The ship also can’t be interested in these ships for their intended purposes, since there’s nothing of substance that connects them all—beyond all having disgruntled lower deckers.\n
\n
I don’t know *why* they would do this, but I can’t shake the feeling the mysterious ship is attempting to build something akin to Voltron or the Megazord. A giant bipedal mech made of a bunch of other ships.\n
\n
Maybe the vertical Warbird is the torso. Maybe the Bird of Prey and the Orion ship are shoulder pads or feet. I don’t know.\n
\n
But I figured I’d bounce this idea off you guys and see if you could refute or add to this.

Hmm… looks vaguely like the chin of a Blue Whale.\n
\n
Not sure what to make of this, since I still strongly feel like the Bynar ship looks like something ripped from an action figure, but a robo whale probably wouldn’t have use for some legs.\n
\n
Well, still a shot in the dark.

[Welcome to Daystrom Institute!](https://startrek.website/post/73)\n
\n
Serious, in-depth discussion about *Star Trek* from both in-universe and real world perspectives.\n
\n
Read more about [how to comment at Daystrom](https://startrek.website/post/175954).\n
\n
##### **Rules**\n
\n
**1. Explain your reasoning**\n
\n
All threads and comments submitted to the Daystrom Institute must contain an explanation of the reasoning put forth.\n
\n
**2. No whinging, jokes, memes, and other shallow content.**\n
\n
This entire community has a “serious tag” on it. Shitposts are encouraged in [Risa](https://startrek.website/c/risa).\n
\n
**3. Be diplomatic.**\n
\n
Participate in a courteous, objective, and open-minded fashion. Be nice to other posters and the people who make *Star Trek.* Disagree respectfully and don’t gatekeep.\n
\n
**4. Assume good faith.**\n
\n
Assume good faith. Give other posters the benefit of the doubt, but report them if you genuinely believe they are trolling. Don’t whine about “politics.”\n
\n
**5. Tag spoilers.**\n
\n
Historically Daystrom has not had a spoiler policy, so you may encounter untagged spoilers here. Ultimately, avoiding online discussion until you are caught up is the only certain way to avoid spoilers.\n
\n
**6. Stay on-topic.**\n
\n
Threads must discuss Star Trek. Comments must discuss the topic raised in the original post.\n
\n
#### **Episode Guides**\n
\n

\n
