First look at Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 is out.
The Doctor/EHM returns, as does the Voyager-A. Inject it into my veins. 🙂

I don’t think your assessment of the Luna-class and the Constitution III is accurate. They are entirely different, and the PIC production crew deciding that “refit” is basically just a word that the Starfleet Corps of Engineers will drop at a hat doesn’t change that.
The instagram log that explains the history of the Titan A claims that it was constructed “using much of the internal components” of the Luna-class ship, and that’s why it’s a refit, but that plans to build the new ship on the spaceframe of the old were set aside mid-way through.
Obviously the Neo-Connie space frame is a new build due to its size but I don’t see how that stops them from reusing the warp core, warp coils, computer core, etc.
Yeah, absolutely. But that’s not really what the term refit means.
And if that is a refit in Starfleet parlance – as the instagram log claims it is – than what prevents the Lamaar-class Voyager from also being a refit. Keep in mind that in “The Star Gazer”, Picard claimed that the new Stargazer was also a refit, and, according to Matalas, it was a refit of the Constellation-class Stargazer:
"Like the TMP Enterprise, it’s a massively updated refit. I like to think of it as the story of the broom: If one day you replace the handle, and another day the brush, is it still the same broom? We thought of it as a vessel endlessly repaired and upgraded, brought in-line with current-future tech, so that somewhere underneath all the lights and polish are the bones of Picard’s original ship. Does it make sense? I don’t know. But I sure like the spirit of it."
Now, personally, I would prefer to not take anything Terry Matalas says seriously, but a lot of people seem tot think he should be Trek’s new torchbearer, so there’s a good chance we’ll see a lot more of this nonsense in the future.
