The DOT-7 drones appear in the early seasons of DISCO in the mid 23rd century. I know, modern show serving as a prequel to TOS puts things out of whack. However, they are canon.

    And, of course, the viewscreen went from a little window to the entire front wall of the bridge. New technology can make things look much cooler.

      Exactly! I heard so many people complain about that viewscreen when it first debuted in Discovery and like… why? Having a tiny TV monitor in the middle of the wall is just bizarre. As for “but windows lower structural integrity” I mean yeah but we’re not exactly dealing with regular glass here. That and most things melt through the hull itself and outright ignore the windows.

      Also as we saw in Picard Season 3, those windows also double for the coolest airlock ever so…

        Honestly, if SNW looked exactly like TOS, people would complain that it looked cheap, ridiculous and backward. So they made it look like a modern show. I totally understand. TOS was what I grew up with and will always be my Star Trek, but it was also a product of its time and SNW will probably look just as ridiculous in 50 years.
