I love Star Trek and tbh I didn't know each ship had it's own insignia. I guess I really never noticed.
RPCharImages
Huh, I forgotten the ships all had their own insignia, even the red stripe was an Enterprise first

Imagine spending so much time assembling the image, and then not double-checking the spelling of Constitution ("Constutition")

I'm watching the Exeter episode right now.
Telharmonius
These weren't part of the original series (except the first insignia). The others were concieved much later.
Telharmonius
Correction: The first three insignia were in the old series, but only the first was Star Fleet emblem. The other two were rank insignia.

Those are the new space force badges

This is a point of contention. It started out as an error, but was never corrected and snowballed from there.

I wonder who designs those in-universe. Like, does the captain get to pick, a Starfleet committee? Was it public submissions?
YeOldeImgurian
Constellation's designer was clearly having a weird time, and Excalibur's fucked up by not making it sword-shaped.
YeOldeImgurian
Also I forgot I was in random mode so this comment is weirdly timed.
CaffeineManic
Woah, how did I not know that every ship had a different emblem on their Comm badge?
BVSmirk
They only did it in TOS
LordHosk
Because they kept screwing it up so much, space station personnel, and random other ship crews also had the enterprise delta.
Elnauriel
Don't feel bad. The fact that the Enterprise delta became the universal starfleet emblem in all the other series sets a precedent.
BunnsyAdventure
It’s not the comm badge - there’s a sep phone thingy for comms. Just fabric
DukeDarkwood
Yeah, they still had "flip phone" communicators. (By which I mean communicators that literally inspired flip-phone design IRL.)

New doctor visit, Had to re do paperwork. Asked what my Preferred language was, I wrote: (Vulcan). Doctor arrived for exam speaking Vulcan.
SmackRacer
When Vulcan is spoken in Star Trek, the actors are speaking English, then redubbed to match the lip movements. Vulcan isn't a real language.
Chaapai
Really?
Drewscifer
Wait was there not a USS Constellation in the Constellation Class (most notable being the Stargazer Picard's first command)
pulsar483
Lots of ship names get reused in ST. The defiant and intrepid became their own classes as well as the constellation.
Meltemi
There was. It's seen in a single background display in one film, and it's generally assumed it was named for the Constitution-class ship.
DukeDarkwood
Different ship, same name. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Constellation_(NCC-1017) is the Constitution-class vessel seen in TOS.
DukeDarkwood
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Constellation_(NX-1974) is the type vessel for the Constellation class between the TOS/TNG eras.
Drewscifer
are all prototypes NX? e.g. NX whatever Galaxy for the Galaxy design?
DukeDarkwood
Apparently not: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Galaxy is registered as NCC-70637. And, while never explicitly named in the canon,
DukeDarkwood
an occasionally-referenced Constitution-class ship, NCC-1700, is stated in official companion books to be the USS Constitution.

Why is USS Constellation the only one without the black cutout?
notthistime
Chinese counterfeit patch.
Meltemi
The rendering on Memory Alpha has it, but it's been so long since TOS that I don't recall which is accurate.
Meltemi
Update: I found a better shot of Decker. I have no idea why his assignment patch is missing the division.
IamNotaFreakyFishGuy
I think it's still there in the same place, but it's done in gold. Maybe the costume department ran out of black thread.
DukeDarkwood
Could it be because he's a Commodore? Would it still be "Command" division if you're a flag officer?

Hasn't changed much since its original design in 1982

Just don’t tell them about the space badge

Funny how the internet didn't get all bent out of shape back then about the design. Avocado toast.

Laughing at bottomless stupidity. "Bent out of shape" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Space Force should already be an extension of the Air Force.

gaidinbdj
A lot of it was. But Army and Navy had commands which were covering the same territory. It was a logical move.

There already is a Space Force and has been for years. It's a bunch of sweaty dudes in a lab adjusting satellite trajectories.
DreadPierateRoberts
Very important work
Youreprobablylyingoronlythinkingofyourself
Why?
HarleyUltraRider70
Why start a new branch when Nasa already works with the Air Force?
Frederf
NASA isn't armed forces
HarleyUltraRider70
It isn't but mission crew is from the Air Force. Nasa launches military equipment into space. They have a close working relationship.
Youreprobablylyingoronlythinkingofyourself
Well, NASA follows the "Outer Space Treaty of 1967" which would be in conflict with military operations.

Here's the link to that treaty-https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/outerspace

I am happy with how good Picard was. The only bad part was the conversation in the Daystrom Inst. Clone Data? Twins? De Fuq?

SPOILERS ahead

that convo was too establish that they were able to make human synthetics based on a single bit of Datas brain. ie Cylons. but they're 2

made in pairs, like a ying and yang. I'm wondering if the Borg ship at the end was all synthetics or if it was just the girl, though.

Oh please, it was awesome. Gotta learn to let go of the 90s and enjoy things.
ExcuseMe2
I too, am a zoomer who thinks Star Trek is about Kung Fu and action setpieces with a 90 year old...
MDtheGM
Star Trek has had action in every single damn series and most episodes. Stop bitching.
ExcuseMe2
Nothing about it makes any sense. They don't even know who Noonian fucking is, Data is dead, Romulans are "le bad guys" now. It's all stupid
ExcuseMe2
Yes, because TNG is known for Kung Fu action shlock. Fuck off zoomer.
