"Obena"?

Yes. Why?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Yes. Why?

Uh...because I don't know what it MEANS?

 

[BillJ]

Uh...because I don't know what it MEANS?

Named for someone that works on the show, like a lot of stuff is. Like Jefferies Tubes.

 

[BillJ]

This is becoming a sad time of year for me, the end of a Lower Decks season is upon us.

Uh...because I don't know what it MEANS?

I guess not knowing would make me sad too. Potentially means "Oat," but I would have to do more research.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I guess not knowing would make me sad too.

Who said anything about being sad?

 

[F. King Daniel]

The near-mythical USS Salcombe from Star Trek Beyond was similarly named for the guy who headed up the Enterprise-A construction montage VFX sequence.

Who said anything about being sad?

Must have misinterpreted the emoji.

Upon further reading I see that yes, yes I did. Apparently that is confused. And this is sad...

 

[WarpFactorZ]

Righty-O, I was referring to the deflector dish.

Incidentally, some intrepid Star Trek Bridge Commander modders seem to have predicted this design.

Great minds and all that...

So they stuck Sovereign class nacelles on the Excelsior. Yeah, regular Nostradamuses, these guys.

I call it "The Sad day after Christmas feeling."

Failed predictions if the future?
