- In this video we look at the 10 ugliest ships in Star Trek. These include some classics like the USS Grissom, the Malon Export Vessel, the Pakled ship and many federation starships. Many of these ships appeared in the background in The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. Some of them were what we call "kit bashes", which means using parts of different model kits together to make a new design.

Think, if the Borg had encountered the Firebrand class starship rather than the Galaxy class, they'd probably have deemed the Federation as not worthy of assimilation. 😂
.... Touché.
Depends on the systems on board. If it had the latest shields, warp core, and other tech, the Borg would definitely assimilate. They care about advanced technology, not size... They assimilated the tiny raven with the Hansen's onboard simply because it had an unknown stealth technology that masked the ship from their sensors. Assimilation is the only real way the Borg advance themselves. So any ship with technology more advanced than theirs is assimilated... ;)
Or something like "We will still try to assimilate you out of politeness, but please resist."
Appearance is irrelevant. The Federation and its technology has proved worthy of assimilation and will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Hey leave the freedom class alone. I think it’s a cool design.
Spacedock: Sees the Yeager class on this list,
*angry Spacedock noises*
😂😂😂 Thats what i was thinking
As mashed up and unrefined as the Yeager class looks, the actual design idea of an "federation bird of prey" is actually kinda...cool.
It actually looks like an dedicated warship, someone should try to re-design the marquis part, keep the form, just exchange it with federation steamline visuals and damn one sexy "hunter" it'll be.
Space dock is questionable to be honest.
I also agree with GT that is one ugly and dumb looking ship.
Didn't spacedock do a Yeager appreciation video on April Fool's Day?
@@Destructor111 It wasn't April fools and it was sincere appreciation. But he thinks aliens with vastly different cultural and technological growth would realistically gravitate towards the same boxy junkyard human designs as Halo or newBSG or B5. So what the hell does he know.
Oberth, the redshirt of ships.
Not on Deep Space 9, that title belongs to the Miranda class.
@@bl8danjil that ship is just as bad to me
@@spadesofpaintstudios1719
The Miranda in her day was as strong as the Connie itself just in a more compact form with the need for less crew.
The only reason the defiant wasn't a red shirt was because it had plot armor so thick and so strong that it surpassed all other hero ships save for Voyager and Discovery.
The only reason they got rid of the first defiant was because they written themselves into a corner they couldn't get out off and seen how much Sisko was becoming a Mary Sue (like Burnham who would come later) they had to knock him down a few pegs(what with him getting away with murder and breaking rules that would have gotten Kirk court marshalled).
For me the worse ships in trek are Defiant, discovery, and Voy.
In the end DS9 should have had a Miranda class for the hero ship as it could easily be refitted or more quickly made with the same advance technology as seen on the Defiant but quickly reproduced.
On a side note The Lacota(sp) was vastly superior to the Defiant after some heavy refitting and could have(and should have) Destroyed the defiant but was saved by plot armor.
I swear the Defiant was saved by plot armor more times than Voy. Lol
@@bl8danjil TNG, too.

"Alright guys, we need to design some background ships for Star Trek."
"Eh, just slap some starship parts together."
Yes. Kitbashing it's called.
I think in some cases they used the actual model kits you could buy in stores, since they weren't meant to be seen in up close detail.
@@scockery the original Battlestar Galactica is 100% guilty of this. I can see ww2 submarine hulls and upside down jet fighter fuselage/intakes everywhere.
Right?! One or two nacelles?
How many we got in the box?
3.
Perfect. One on the plate...
And two on the ball?
Now your cooking with Dilithium crystals.
Hey Gene! We need more grey spray paint.
Remember back when before the first Star Trek movie, all ships Starfleet had been pretty much a mix of the exact same parts with those in the same class looking exactly alike? You know, as if they were built by the same organization. Pepperidge Farms remembers.
The USS Essex is not ugly. It's a simple practicle ship but not ugly.
The Essex/Daedelus Class was early Federation/Starfleet. It's been theorized that the U.S.S. Pasteur is the TNG era equivalent. I agree it's not ugly per se, there are uglier, it just a simple design.
It's one of Jefferie's first Enterprise attempts. Look to the, "Making of Star Trek" book from the 1960's.
USS Essex is ugly for me, but functional for me
Daedalus class is more realistic than constitution class and sovereign class
The USS Essex design was actually chosen to "pay homage" to TOS in that it was based on the original drawing concept for the USS Enterprise. Later designs changed to saucer shape for the series itself.
I still think that the Yeager-Class should have been called the Liberty-Class. It is literally the Star Trek equivalent of a Liberty Ship.
In case folks don't know, Liberty ships were very quickly made American vessels sent with supplies to Britain in the WW2 era. Just fyi 😉
forgive me but I think the enterprise D looks super goofy with its oversized wide saucer
No need for forgiveness, I think you're spot on. I think forced perspective was used in it's design, to increase the wow factor when seen from the front at the expense of ascetics from all other angles.
@@MegaBadgeman well said. I will say this- the galaxy class does look very present and imposing, it definitely fits the 'galaxy' aspect of its class name. Honestly, if they turned the saucer sideways to resemble the sovereign class a bit more and made the 2nd hull a little bit bigger, I'd love it.
4:33 the Essex is like having a cigarette on the toilet
Was that Jabba of Essex?
hailing from essex, i can confirm this is true
I agree 100% about the Nissan Cube. My girlfriend loves it, but I hate it.
I don't know what kind of drugs the person was on that designed the Nissan cube, but I don't want any.
They're sexy as. Closest car shape to a borg cube. Resistance is..
Id rather have a Kia Soul.
I missed britisch Ben. Good luck he's back.
Hope hes well
The Firebrand just offended me for some reason.
Probably because it was missing a part.
Never heard of it until now, but it offends me too!
The Fire brand was a pointless design . truely Dysfunctional . The laws of physics would have that ship looping over and over the faster it tried to move
The firebrand haves no visible impulse engines.
It violating warp bubble rule about nacelle must 2 or 4 or 6 or whatever 2 idk whats the english to create a warp field
i kinda love it, but then i love ships with unusual numbers of warp nacelles
Hey! When I played the FASA Star Trek pen-n-paper role-playing game, I was a captain of a Firebrand ship. Via alien contacts, elevating my security clearance level, and some great engineers, my "ugly" single-nacelle ship became a great vessel that I refused to give up. It became far better than most Constitution-class starships. I just had to make the nacelle into a double nacelle and really amp-up shield power because the superstructure was relatively fragile. Oh, and the larger sensor array/probe launcher can be seen from the outside. My "crappy little ship" became one of the best long-range omni-purpose ships... only a bit of a glass cannon when my shields were down. Oh, and its only shuttle (because of space) was an outside attachment. So, if you get past the shield and want to just blow up my shuttle, that was easy as pie. Wait... come to think of it, my USS Sling of David was ugly compared to other Firebrand ships. Okay, shutting up now.
Its weird how the Oberth class is so aweful yet the Miranda class was stunning
The Oberth is not awful, she is a simple design meant for things like planetary study like gas giants, research and testings, ect.
The massive secondary hull was for research labs and or sensors that could be dipped into the atmosphere of a gas giant with special shields that can withstand such pressure.
It's single phaser was meant for drilling into space rocks to collect samples, ect.
But I agree with you on the miranda,
How is it Kazon ships didn’t make this list?
Kazon ships are wayy uglier than both Discovery & Oberth.
And they're brown! 😂😂😂
Was thinking that too.
another UGLIEST Ship seen and Playable in Star Trek Online Khitomer Alliance Battlecruiser, thats one of the Ugliest ship also Universe Class USS Enterprise J is also the UGLIEST Ship.
TBH I'd happily command a _Yeager_ class. I'm with Spacedock on this one, it looks cooler than the _Intrepid_ whilst probably having a lot of mechanical issues to give it character. Having owned a 20 year old van, I imagine it would have that feel even when it was new.
Daniel from Spacedock would like to have a word with you about the Yager class.
Spacedock has terrible taste.
Most of the people who make fun of the Oberth I have asked said that it looks better than the Yager.
@@valor1omega 🧢
@@valor1omega
I personally like the Yeager-class myself, although I will agree that it doesn't really fit in with Starfleet aesthetics - I feel like it was designed and built as a cheap filler ship that can be quickly produced using surplus parts from other vessels in order to bolster fleets. As for the Oberth, it's... serviceable - it's the pylons and lower section of that ship that ruins it, if it was just the saucer and rear hull section it would honestly look pretty nice.
@@VestedUTuber
I agree on every part including what you said about the Oberth.
USS Pegasus was also an Oberth ship, look what happened to it. Meanwhile...
USS California: _"Dodged a bullet"_
The one ball per ship design philosophy was the sign of weakness the Klingons needed to start the 4 years war.
The Freedom-class USS Firebrand is like a 24th-century remake of the 23rd-century Saladin-class destroyer
Yeah but weirdly uglier.
the first ship looks to me like some federation kningon hybrid ship ;D
It an upside down K'tinga.
ok boomer
Regarding the Oberth class. Everyone gets it wrong. The large canoe underneath it is not the Engineering Hull. The Oberth Class is really just the upper half of what we see. It’s a general Utility ship. The Canoe thing is the mission pod that the Grissom was carrying. A Planetary Survey Sensor platform. Think of it as the Big Saucer on top of an AWACS plane. While it did have decks and spaces, and could be accessed via the pylons. It wasn’t routinely crewed except for service and maintenance. The Warp Core and Engineering spaces were in the back half of the square section behind the saucer. Much like they were in the Reliant.
It always reminded me of more crammed bulky and small Miranda inspired craft with the warp neccels up top.
@@valor1omega my going theory is the Oberth is actually a very old design, even by the time its first seen in in the films.
The (rough) guidelines for ship registry numbers is something like the development number of the class + the construction sequence of the individual ship.
Ie the TOS enterprise was of the 17th design and the second of her class. 1701, the 01 being the second ship as the first ship would have been 1700. Likely the USS Constitution NX/NCC-1700
Then theres the Reliant, NCC-1864 Suggests the design was next in line after the Constitution and the Reliant was the 65th ship of its type.
The Grissom was NCC-638, I would accept that ships of different general types wouldn't fall into the same exact numbering scheme, like smaller ships get their own sequence of registrations while the larger cruisers get another, but a 3 digit registry still suggests an older design, especially when you might expect smaller tender type ships to out number the frontier fleet.
Either way I would expect the Oberth class to date to sometime relatively soon after the founding of the Federation and be a roughly century old design by the time we see the first one on screen.
@@valor1omega The Warp Nacelles on top and the very flush bottom lend very much to the theory that the core Oberth is basically an interplanetary equivalent of an ocean going tug, or barge hauler. With a somewhat broader mission profile. Probably a very old design but one produced for a very long time. With incremental upgrades and refits. The sort of ship that would be used for thousands of internal Federation missions. Rigged for science when needed. Hauling large items when needed etc. and never ever intended for combat.
@@andrewtaylor940
I agree, she was never built for combat but for things like scientific missions.
Now that you mention it she can easily be a cargo hauler as well.
Yeah I also agree she looks like a very old design.
@@DrewLSsix
I learned something new.
neat :)
The firebrand isn’t ugly, it’s practical, one saucer, one nacelle, a phase cannon and torpedo launcher the ship should be easy to build and repair like pontoon torpedo boats during ww2
its pretty much a Cursed Starship design
Neck is too long.
*ONE* warp nacelle. wtf?? How is that practical? If it gets messed up you’re f///ed, and it looks cursed because all the other ships have 2 or more nacelles.
Firebrand was just an "aesthetic update" to the TOS scout class vessels... a design back when the number of nacelles correlated with how big and powerful the ship was. by comparison a cruiser like the enterprise had 2 and a dreadnought had 3... At least based on the TOS technical manual.
This one barely earns its 'Like' as the Freedom, Daedalus, Oberth & Crossfield-class ships are ones that i like.
In retaliation, your dreams shall be haunted by a Battle Fleet, comprised of 600 Curry-type Missile Cruisers, 600 Curry-type LSTs/Tank Carriers (Space Tanks are basically Runabouts with heavy armor & Bigger Fucking Guns), 500 Yeager-type Assault Frigates, a few hundred of each of the other ships on this list, and a couple hundred ugly ships not on this list...
and not to be confused with Kitt bashing "Smells like Hasselhoff"

@@McSkumm yup I like his humor way too much I feel like have to quote him when someone mentions kit bashing
Surprise twist. Michael is actually grown up Cory from Boy Meets World and they programed his car to sound like Mr. Feeny to annoy him.
Ben, while you go around launching torpedo's into Nissan Cubes, please remember to save a few rounds for the likes of the Fiat Multipla. Possibly the most ugly vehicles I have had the misfortune to see.
Have you seen the old Pontiac Aztec? A black hole wold reject it.
If you think the Fiat Multipla was ugly, don’t lookup the monstrosity known as the Nissan Murano Crosscabriolet. It would make you want to unload all of the quantum torpedoes at it.
@@MCEvans66 the Aztek is somewhat attractive compared to the other vehicles listed in this thread. Ahead of its time if you will. Sadly, vehicle design has been dead since the mid '90s.
The Oberth has a bit of charm at least, and for the Firebrand, If the neck was shorter it wouldn't look all that bad.
I actually like Firebrand, I think it's an cool design
That’s a stew not a curry
The ship or the dish? Erm, both, right?
From FASA's RPG Federation Ship Recognition Files (released back in the 80' I believe), you have the Nelson Class Scout (TOS era), and the Durret Class cruiser (post STAR TREK The Movie era), both with single nacelles slung underneath. These would have been the precoursers of the 'Firebrand'.
For what its worth: It seems the FIREBRAND design is/was based on art from the original Star Trek Technical Manual, where a page was dedicated to all Starfleet ships of the time (TOS). The Saucer/pylon/single warp engine was labeled as a Destroyer
I actually liked the Oberth design. Yes, the lack of a forward next threw me at first, but it grew on me. It had a very sleek oval shape to it.
The Discovery looks like a paper airplane with two straws and a paper plate attached to it. Thats what its design is.
Looks like they tried to make the star trek pizza cutter into an actual ship.
The U.S.S. Discovery., AKA U,S.S. pizza Cutter.
Paper plates and straws are too advanced for the people in charge of “Star trek” now
The original design that the hacks at CBS copied was a concept for a late 1970s star trek project designed by Ralph Macquarie, the guy who did the early design work for Star Wars. Thats why it looks like they slapped a saucer section on an imperial Star Destroyer.
@@kdrapertrucker and the concept was rejected for a reason
Any Starfleet ship with a single warp nacell would give Rodenberry a fit (as in to be tied) Warp Nacelle should be in pairs (2, 4, 6, etc) for a symmetrical warp field!
The discovery ship looks like a pizza cutter.
Yeah for real

@@its6696 yeah I did, I pull it off the shelf every day at least once.
I think the Oberth class ships are beautiful in a quirky way. I also love the Daedalus class.
When designing your own interstellar navy, I recommend designing an entire navy. That will save you the need to kit-bash later on. Every kit-bashed ship, without exception, belongs on the "Just... Why?" list.
Look at Kilrathi ships in the Wing Commander games. And Enterprise D was ugly af. That overinflated saucer, yuk !
The D was ugly IMO.
The C and E were way better looking.
The D&E are indeed very ugly.
The saucer section should have been reduced in size by what 25% - 50%?
Would have looked better.
I kinda like the original discovery design, though I do think the nacelles are a bit far forward and it could do with a nicer paintjob.
Well a prefer it to the current design. She just doesn't fit
@@paulrasmussen8953 I like the current one better

8:59 Excelsior's ribbed neck make it look like it can extend longer, if pull, like those ribbed washing machine's hose
Kind of like what E.T. did.
The Firebrand/Freedom-class is a successor to the Saladon-class and those were meant specifically to be quickly produced and deployed in the event of war. It is not so much ugly as incredibly basic.
I thought it would be interesting if the discovery was a warship designed to deploy the saucer as a medical facility while the rest pretended to have a klingon battle cruiser silhouette.
"Yaegar"? Wow, you really butchered the spelling of "Yeager"!
The Daedalus is actually my favourite. Mostly because its working lifespan was well over 150 years.
You know what I call the Starship Discovery? The Pizza Cutter, because the way it's saucer section spins around reminds me of a Star Trek pizza cutter.
sigh
The Firebrand appears to be the Next Gen universe version of the Federation Destroyer class of ships. The Destroyer/Scout series with a single warp nacelle were developed in the Star Trek Technical Manual published by Franz Joseph Designs with approval from Gene Roddenberry.
i get most of the entries, but the Discovery oO realy...? * *sad noises* *
It’s the TOS Nostalgia, makes people irrational
totally correct
discovery is on the list
Me: It's the best looking ship seriously?? wtf?
it is the best
And yet the Universe-class Enterprise-J is not on the list... travesty
Firebrand was based on the "scout class" ships, which were an original series concept. Franz Joseph came up with the idea for his Starfleet Tech Manual book. That book, while authorized by Paramount, wasn't cannon. But, the drawings were cool.
The Larson class USS Yamato was one of those single nacelle "beauties" you could add if you ever make a top 20 list. The borg can assimilate ships as well as people, and it probably explains the asymmetrical ship in the list. If you do a star wars list definitely put the B wing at the top. WHY have an atmospheric stabilizer wing jutting 40 feet out the bottom of an offset hull in space? Makes no sense. Good list, I totally agree with it!
"How dare you?!?", brilliant.
Irrelevant: YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED
When corporations destroy the world and nations fail to prevent that destruction, dooming the next generation to inevitable suffering, "how dare you" is appropriate.
Brilliant? Unbelievable. 👎

@@valor1omega can you give me a well reasoned argument as to why it sucks?
@@KBhattacharya13
Hmm, I'll try but I will be honest I have never done well with putting my thoughts to text at times.
The ship itself is too advanced
It makes no sense to go from something so advanced to what we seen on the Enterprise which underwent a refit before Kirk got her.
They used the movie refit of the Enterprise instead of her TOS look.
It breaks too many canon events
For example the Klingons don't get cloaking tech until much later when they worked with the romulans(ENT broke these as well).
The Klingons look like something you would see in wh40k (aka orks).
The Discovy has too many weak points in the "saucer Section" that if the enemy targeted those supports then you can kiss those rings goodbye.
The million shuttles that the discovery shat out.
The vast roller coaster in the ship.
Burnham the mary sue.
They ripped off SW and Ironman.
The ship itself is ugly over all.
I am sure someone else can do a better job than myself.
Come to think of it Anti-trekker (don't let the name fool you he is a Trekkie), Birdoprey5, and Trekyards does a better job.
I don't know why but I dig the Firebrand design. I kind of wish they used the ship a little more than all the Miranda class ships they kept throwing into the series.
you forgot about the Centaur Class that was seen in DS9. It was Charlie Reynolds Ship. It was a Excelsior saucer with Nacelles like a NX-01
The Centaur is not that bad, especially when you spend some time flying around in one in STO
The USS Firebrand looks like the TOS USS Saladin

U.S.S. Pizza Cutter.

The Yeager class is like the coolest fugly ship in Star Trek. I would proudly rock one. It’s got the cobbled together mad max spaceship vibe you don’t see in Star Trek very often.
USS Cerritos from ST: Lower Decks: "WOOHOO! We didn't make the cut!"
Meanwhile... where is the Universe-class Enterprise-J?
The Pakleds in Lower Decks become a serious foe, at least to California-class ships. The Titan makes short work of them, though, or maybe it was just Riker’s beard
I agree with the rest of the list, but I do like the Discovery design.
Ikr, I think the discovery is one of my favourite ships

@@lordsylph414 much like discovery, stale in 2017.
You forgot the Enterprise D. That thing just looks stupid with its over sized saucer, bent warp pylons and the weird eye shaped (deflector?) at the front of the hull. As for the Discovery, I think it looks fine. As a fan of '70s sci-fi design, I like the angular style. I hear the show is wretched, but the ship to is one of better and more distinctive variations on the classic Star Trek design.
“Captain, you are ordered to take command of the Firebrand”
“FU, I quit!”
I thought the Curry was spelled Curie and named for Marie Curie.
I recall it was named after Dan Curry who worked on the show.

Is it just me, or do I just enjoy this type of content regardless of the accuracy because it’s just things that are interesting?
Starship Discovery
Klingon "it shouldn't be hauling garbage, it should be hauled as garbage!"
I find that design [the one that shows up in STO ] to be structually sound and functional use of space .
When they said that about the Enterprise, said Klingon got a Scotty fist to the face.
If they said it about this ship, Scotty would have nodded, said "aye" and swigged his whisky.
@@therakshasan8547 thank you!!! not an insult at least
Designing USS Discovery: "Just glue a circle to a triangle and be done with it"
To be fair literally all starfleet designs are the gluing together of a circle, cylinders and other shapes except the Defiant
@@HeffryCuddles Yes but they usually look decent at the end of the day. Not that one tho
This may have already been mentioned: the Essex is canon as a version of it was in the original Star Trek Concordance (of which I have a copy): It had a TOS nacelle and a deflector dish that hung from the center section of the saucer.
I liked the Daedelus class because there are very few pre-TOS ships that really look pre-TOS era. It should be ugly/boxy/clunky to make the newer ships look sleeker. The NX--01 looks like a repainted TNG ship. The Ares class was also pre-TOS but looks too similar to the Constitution-class and the Constitution was supposed to be a huge step forward and revolutionary.
I absolutely despise the Yeager class.
To be fair, the Yeager class despises you as well

@@tedwojtasik8781 I like tge Yeager design. Like another person said give it some of those Starfleet rounded off parts and redesign tge Maquis part a bit and it would be super fire.
Personally I really like the sharp, industrial design of the Discovery, it's maybe even one of my favourites. If I think of weird and rather bad looking ships from the Star Trek universe, I would probably pick the Voyager from the main ships of the starfleet.
If you do a "best ships in ST" don't forget the USS Federation dreadnought. The 3rd nacelle rocks. I mean, who doesn't want a 3rd nacelle?
Well, Gene Roddenberry for one, nacelles are supposed to work in pairs, so you should have an even number of nacelles, no matter how cool 3 nacelles look.
@@kdrapertrucker do you have proof that Roddenberry nullified the odd number concept? FWIW, 3 nacelles can be aligned to create symmetrical warp fields.
What is that thing under the Firebrands warp nacelle?
Looks like a small deflector dish or emitter I think.
I disagree with one thing its that the USS. Discovery isn't ugly it's actually one of the most beautiful ships if seen is star trek I dont think we should judge her just because she came from failed modelsnofnher kind . Remember she is the successful design of her predecessors and from what I seen in her series has one of the slickest designs n smooth operations

@@sardonicspartan9343 Both of you made such horrible points. Op mischaracterized the argument. The respondent appeals to some kind of authority and doesn't even support his point.

Notice how these STD, NPCs use the exact same descriptor. Its almost like the are programmed.
100%
I love the discovery as well, I feel like I'm the weird one seeing others comment
#6 freedom class isn't only ugly but also broke Gene Roddenberry's rule that warp nacelles are to be always in pairs- 2, or 4, never 1 or three.
Galaxy class, in my opinion is ugly when looking at it from front or side due to its thin bottom of the engineering hull. It look almost flat.
According to rumours, after reluctantly putting the U.S.S. Firebrand into commission, Starfleet Command acquired some agony chambers from the mirror universe for their engineers.
In the mirror universe the U.S.S. Firebrand never got built, because the responsable engineers didn't survive childhood...
I would have included the JJ Abrams's Enterprise. It looks like a 10 year old tried to draw the real Enterprise, but got the dimensions all screwed up. Also would have included the crappy 'Romulan' spikey ship commanded by Nero.
I absolutely loathe the Narada for the behind the scenes reason for why it looks that way. It might've been an ok new alien ship though, but not a Romulan ship.
@@darwinxavier3516 could have passed as a tyranid ship tbh
1:28 this thing looks like a sort of mutant baby of a star wars star destroyer and a star trek ship. for me this ship is the ugliest

You gotta love that they canonized kitbashing though.

Look at the Excelsior’s profile
Then look at Endgame!Thor
Tell me you don’t see the similarity
@@lordsylph414 blasphemy
Dont like Uss Cerritos design All Oberth class permutations as well
I think the _California_ class is more awkward looking than ugly. And at the very least it had thought put into why it was designed so weirdly.
@@ReddwarfIV lts Post Nemesis Epoch Starfleet would design better Starship designs
@@Xiuhcoatl1971 For war, sure. Then again, I think the _Saber_ class is uglier than the _California._
@@ReddwarfIV of course hate such design as well he he he follow the Guy from Spacedock know such awful design
Oberth may be a worthless war canoe, but it's a beautiful, slick and proud worthless war canoe.
Discovery has grown on me. Wait I thought Alan said you died 😂😂
Alan says a lot of things...
@@GenerationFilms 😂😂😂, you guys act like Brothers. Love it keep up the great work
So it grew on you like a wort or something?
Don't let this man see Farscape, he'll lose his mind if he sees what color Moya is 😂
Sorry I think the Excelsior's are a hideous design and the Curry kitbash was a improvement.
The Excelsior...”one of the most beaut... *cough, cough* ?
Sorry, couldn’t even finish the quote. That ship was a big disappointment for me when I first saw it...and seeing it stumble on its first voyage was icing on the big cake of disappointment.
I love all the small, undergunned Starfleet ships like the Oberth. In reality, I'd try to be on an unimportant ship.
Personally, I think the Yaeger still looks shabla awesome. And by canon, wouldn't the Firebrand NOT be able to fly with one nacelle? I was under the impression (memory archives may be damaged) that all ships needed TWO nacelles to generate a warp field.
All Good Things blew the even number "rule" out of the water, although we had seen images of the Saladin class before that on screens.
Calls Excelsior one of the most beautiful....
That beer-bellied freak of nature? For real?
Excelsior, definitely one of the ugliest. But the single engine 'destroyer type' goes back to TOS, you can find them in the original Tech Manual.
@xheralt The secondary hull definitely has that 'pregnant guppy vibe! LOL! But the nacelle struts with a 90 degree bend in them are not only aesthetically bad, engineering wise they screw with my brain.
curious, where are those klingon scenes taken from?
5:42 I want to be hired to build starship models for some star trek Film or show, and see it destroyed. It would be so satisfying.
I love the shirt.
Yes. I agree. The Excelsior is the most beautifull ship in Star Trek. Although the Odyssey class do look kinda cool too for a close 2nd.
what is the first book from the right in the background?
Where's is it's deflector dish can't go to warp without a Deflector dish.
