They are using the Picard exterior and interior design, just with more green.
Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x11 - "Asylum"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
afaik it’s set in 2385, so the same year.
The show is currently in 2384
2385 is the attack on Mars.
The supernova is in 2387.
Either way my math was wrong.

Indeed, I thought that it happened the same year of the attack on Mars, but I was wrong. That takes place in 2385.
Is there actually any evidence for that beyond the stardate?
Why?
Chakotay and the Maqui on VOY were stranded in the DQ for 7 years. During that time, they worked together with the commissioned VOY crew side by side, explored and survived.
Chakotay also served as Janeway's loyal first officer who was also highly protective of her.
He already had a rank of Commander prior to being stranded in the DQ, and because the Dominion war caused a lot of casualties, when he came back, I guess SF and UFP deemed him and the other Maqui on VOY as having 'time served' in the DQ (which was almost like an exile for the entire crew of VOY) and they now also had valuable experience dealing with various unknowns that in fairness would have gone to waste.
Plus, with the Maqui rebellion long gone by the time VOY returned, Chakotay and the Maqui had no real reason to go agains the Cardassians anymore... and the fact the Dominion bombarded Cardassia and exerted massive casualties on them, I suppose most of the ex Maqui saw it as 'punishment enough' for what happened in the DMZ.
SF and UFP are big on second (and sometimes third?) chances.
So, its not unusal that they will give a person a benefit of the doubt if they think they managed to 'reform' in a way that would be valuable to them.
Plus, the entire crew of VOY had exeprtise with advanced technologies (a lot of which were incorporated into the Protostar).
Well if you don’t want to use the stardates, than it’s 2383 still. That’s when the writers said the show takes place.
I love using the stardates, i just think we have to apply a slightly different formula than before. The creators have stated that the system they use for the current shows (presumably LD, Prodigy, Discovery and Picard) is close to 1000 stardate units = 1 year and that stardate 57436.2 corresponds to January 1st, 2380. I did some fun maths (linear regression with the Jan 1 datapoint and the stardate from DSC 3x03, which has to occur in 3189) I ended up with two edge cases: If the stardate from DSC 3x03 is from January 1, 3189, then 1 year = 998.41 stardate units. If the stardate from DSC 3x03 is from December 31st, 3189, then 1 year = 997.17 stardate units. Either way, the key change I think we have to make in terms of 2380s stardates is assume that the year starts at xx436-ish, not at xx000.
I was 11 when I became a fan of Star Trek and I was able toSeriously. How the hell is PRO supposed to deal with theing BORG? A merciless collective intelligence that kills or assimilates anything and everything in its path. You think kids can deal with that shit? That'd be like showing a Rob Zombie movie to a toddler.
handle the Borg just fine.
Besides that, isn't the main target audience for this show supposed to be 10? Meaning late-elementary school. Younger kids can watch, but it feels like it's really meant for older kids.
Hell, I know it was the '80s and "it was a different time" but, when I was six years old, I got to watch the planet Thundera blow up in the first episode of Thundercats.

I was nine and sat through The Day After when it first aired. I can handle the Borg in an animated Star Trek show. 
Ohh good observation

The virus/weapon whatever it was, the Diviner was drawing it at the end of the mid season

I'm loving this show, and the second half of season one is off to a strong start. Starfleet knows what Dal is but it's classified. Hmmmm.
Okay so, how come Protostar infecting the relay station didn't infect all of Starfleet? Like, it's a relay station. Much wifi. Strong signal. C'mon.

In VOY, they suggest that communication way out towards the Delta Quadrant is a little limited, only allowing for data transfers every so often. If it was effectively air gapped, the weapon might have shifted to a secondary function of destruction.
There’s also the matter of Frex accidentally triggering the weapon, versus what it is capable of with a trained Vau N’akat operator. There’s a reason The Diviner wanted to be onboard himself.
It should also be noted that it is the weapon - the "living construct" - which infected the station. The communication signal triggered the weapon, but it did not cause the breakdown by itself. Other starfleet ships and installations are many lightyears away from the weapon, at this time.
As Animationadmiral says, proper use of the weapon may require a Vau N'Akat operator who know's what he is doing. Or it may need a very fast ship (as in Protostar, Dauntless or Borg cube fast) that can rapidly jump between important installations and fleet concentrations, in order to come anywhere near the effect the Diviner is hoping to have.
Clearly there've been no advances in Wi-Fi's reliability in the 24th century, and it was down for the day.
Considering this likely saved the entire Federation don't expecting improving Wi-Fi to be a priority any time soon.
So I take it the Vau N'Akat script embedded in the Protostar's bridge deck (which Gwyn uses to open the deck and find the weapon) was originally intended for the Diviner? He never considered that Gwyn might find it?
Likely for both. The Diviner wanted Gwyn with him on the ship, and she was created specifically to take his role once he died. It is not a problem for him as he has a "backdoor" to the "heirloom" and he can easily turn it against her, should it be necessary. And it's not like she can do anything even if she gains access without his permission.
Initially, a direct link (such as an upload/download and comms) between the Protostar and another ship/station is what is necessary to trigger the construct's activation.
The weapon doesn't automatically get distributed to the rest of the UFP from the relay station probably because the station wasn't in the middle of a status update which would open comms channel and data upload to the main UFP network to initiate syncronisation and data exchange (if it was, it would have probably been sent out to the nearest ship/station that was syncing it up with the rest of the UFP subspace network and spread from there).
As we've seen, communications and data exchanges are initiated on-demand. Yes, the relay station CAN establish contact with the rest of SF/UFP easily enough and at a moment's notice, but it probably only does so automatically after a certain amount of time has passed to sync up with the rest of the network and send/receive updates - it could also be a security upgrade on behalf of SF to prevent unwanted software (such as this one) to spread through the UFP subspace network.
For example...an anti-malware/virus software uses the internet to retrieve software updates and send info back to the company (if the user agreed) and share certain info about potential attacks so the company can investigate and build in better protection... but the software doesn't use internet access all the time... it can do so if it was pre-programmed to search for updates on a periodic basis (say every 24 hours or less) or a user can be given control over this procedure so the software is updated when the user wants it to.
Besides, the relay station has a whole UFP database integrated into it... its like a mini self contained internet with latest information from the UFP in the past few hours (for example)... and I doubt that most SF officers swallow latest information being released instantly like people do today.
Sure, scientists for example pour through various latest scientific articles, but even they go through it one at a time (usually)... unless the computer is asked to do algorithmic R&D and compare various latest released studies and find a solution (but even here, the software would draw mainly what's in the pre-existing UFP database onboard which is VAST and updates itself periodically).
Yep. And as I mentioned earlier, there’s probably a reason the Diviner wanted to be on the ship himself. A weapon accidentally going off is dangerous, but a weapon in the hands of a trained Vau N’Akat operative is far more so.
