You spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round ,round round!~
That is all I hear teh instant Discovery's saucer section starts moving. Also, just call it's what is is STD! It's your mix up of the BSG Jump Drive and the SW Hyperdrive.

You'll laugh, but I think they stole the idea from me and another guy here on DevArt, from five or so years ago, back on my old account. We had a little RPG going on, purely text-based, as comments under one of our pictures. It featured a superstring based instantaneous movement drive (superstring is based on real science, more than space shrooms, mind you). As I've seen fan designs and concepts pop up in official Trek every now and then, I have a feeling the showrunners comb through the available fanbase material and use what they come to like.

XD
But in all honesty, if they wanted a fan designs for a hit show...why didn't they just ask teh guys who made Axanar to make something for them? Their ratting and profits would hit teh ceiling and keep going....and it would be awesome

Animation and ship look fantastic. Again, wish I could say the show it was based on was a fraction as good.
Every time I hear "Spore drive" I wanna bring my head to the nearest desk for much needed thunking.

Yeah, call it Mycellium (I hope I spelled that right) drive. It still makes no sense, but at least sounds more sci-fi. Or simply "organic drive".

Ehh... no matter what it's called, it's ridiculous and implausible. Warp was at least a theory which turned out to be true. Star Trek Discovery, to me, is just another example that Star Trek in its proper sense died with Roddenberry - at least when it comes to greedy giant corporations like CBS producing it. The fan-based stuff is far truer to Gene's ideology nowadays.

Real Trek died with TNG. TNG was a soft reboot as well. Enterprise was also a soft reboot. DSC is just the newest soft reboot.

*nods* Yeah, TNG was excellent - Roddenberry himself pushed for it, and oversaw all the scripts. Though he passed away while it was still filming, he had already helped see the scripts through. Where it started going sour to me was Deep Space Nine - the need to make things darker and more "grey". Just went increasingly downhill from there.

Agreed. Even though they say the end of season 2 will explain why everything is the way it is and get the series more in line with TOS...I am still not too optimistic about the whole thing. The music is forgettable and the overall sound design is generic as shit and not you would expect in a Trek setting. The editing and pacing make Space Above and Beyond or Sea Quest look like a masterpieces compared to this.

Yeeeah, it's just not what it should be. It's clearly made to appeal more to the folks who like the over-done special effects, lens flares and constant action sequences of the Abrams-type Star Trek, with little thought given to plot, adhering to established lore, or character development. Does it surprise me, not really - the only good Star Trek I've seen since Roddenberry's passing has been the fan-made stuff like Star Trek Continues. :/

Maybe they should have called it the: 'twirly-twurly-spinning-winny-pip-pop' drive.

Before Lorca can say that, the Klingons'd blow them up

But the Klingons decend into civil war, after trying to speak their native language to each other through all that rubber, make one Klingon think the other Klingon is speaking Romulan.
