I’m a MASSIVE fan of the New Frontier series, (and yes I did wince when Ric pronounced Calhoun wrong) and in his defence, like Mackenzie, may have originated from the Scottish clan Colquhoun which is Celtic and is probably pronounced that way
Not well enough received as I found the book series a year after it was published by the time I got to the twelfth book I think and Peter David killed off the series and crew.
I have to say, my favourite Excalibur is the prototype "victory class" from Babylon 5. It just looks mean. Also, staying on the same topic. You may well have seen it already, but if you are into this kind or lore as you mentioned, you will definitely enjoy season 3, episode 3 "A late delivery from Avalon" sorry to derail a trek conversation, but I thought it might be relevant in this case. Also, there's room for both shows because they're both awesome (B5 a bit more so... 😁)
The one ship I know won't get a legacy ship line in Trek is the HMS Warspite, even though the Queen Elisabeth class battleship of that name managed too survive two world wars, and saw heavy action in both of them but was way to stubborn to die. She holds the highest number of battle honours for a single ship in the royal navy, fought in practically every major theatre of those two world wars and commenced the bombardment of Normandy for the D-day landings, but her name and reputation for aggressive actions and sheer stubbornness (even while under tow to the breakers yard she refused to go quietly, instead breaking the tow and running aground - efforts to re-float her resulted in damage to various salvage vessels and tugs, before she went to the bottom) kinda puts her out of contention which is a huge shame given her and her crews record of service.
Yeah, a Constitution, but built with late 24th Century technology... You know, that raises a question: _why did Starfleet never actually consider that!?_
There was also an Excalibur class in the game "Star Trek - Bridge Commander", specifically in the modpack "Kobayashi Maru". The best description I can give you is that its a massive dreadnought, about 2-3 Sovereigns in length and width, still having a saucer/engineering hull shape, mirroring the usual form from the top, but from the side being much flatter, with the secondary hulls dorsal edge staying level with the bridge, and the underbelly only extending very little below the saucer. The Nacelles are also mounted on perfectly horizontal pylons with no height offset to the secondary hull. Apparently Trekyards has a video on it.
I wouldn't call it a non-hero ship. Captain Calhoun kept the peace in Sector 221-G. Given the history of the sector and of Captain Calhoun, and his unorthodox approach to command style, it was a great accomplishment.
Nice to know Shelby stayed relevant. Those of us who remember her on TNG remember she was a very impressive officer and great potential main character. I'm waiting for her to pop up as a captain in STO as a head of some kind of awesome task force. I think her borderline vanishing (outside of offscreen media) did her dirty. I know you asked for a ship cover recommendation but can you go through Shelby's career for those of us who didn't read much of the offscreen canon about her?
I wonder, how many Starfleet ships have a NX - Constitution OG/Refit - Excelsior - Ambassador - Galaxy - Sovereign lineage? (And possibility Odyssey and Universe classes as well)
All classes of ship should have an NX prefix on their prototype vessel during its testing and shakedown phase. Likely meant as a nod to the NX class ships of the warp 5 program.
@@DrewLSsix ; I was referring to the NX-class, which is the type of ship Archer's Enterprise was, not the NX prefix which all Starfleet prototype vessels have. Those are two different things.
I choose to believe that the Excelsior class was in service for so long because, due to its size, it was relatively easy to refit and update. Why redesign a massive workhorse when you have a fleet of them that just need bigger power supplies and stronger warp coils?
Great vid! Might need a sequel once Eaglemoss confirms in the ST: Shipyards book that one of the neo-Constitution class ships in "Die Trying" was the USS Excalibur NCC-1664-M.
I've built 1:1400 models of both Ambassador and Galaxy class Excalibur's. Excal-A was an upgraded Dominion war variant Galaxy class with the extra phaser arrays on the warp nacelles. New Frontier is my favorite Trek series, too bad it's only in books. Capt. Calhoun is one of the most interesting captains in all of Trek.
Any chance of doing the Achilles? The Achilles Class is one of my favourite designs and it was a shame it was trapped in gaming no man's land despite existing in beta content

I would like to see a Starship Legacies video done on all of the ships bearing the name "Enterprise" since it is the most iconic ship name in the history of Star Trek. When do you plan on doing a video for that?
My understanding was gene rodeenberry had named the original ships of trek after the carriers and warships of ww2. Enterprise, essex, exeter, lexington, etc. Enterprise being the hero ship since it was the most decorated ship of ww2.
Was there USS. INCURSION NX-74808 DEFIANT CLASS VARIANT. There 2409-2410 CROSSFEILD CLASS STARSHIPs in Fleet in era StarYrek online updated advanced technologies?
How can there he more than one nx class ship? The very purpose of using the x is to clarify that it is an experimental design. This might possibly mean that every ship of that class was a testbed for experimental technology is my only guess for why it was still used.
I really like the Excalibur Class design that STO gave us, but I think the coloration is too dark, especially for a vessel carrying the Constitution legacy and a general Starfleet ship that isn’t like… a Section 31 ship or something
thinking of starting tos character. which t5u or t6 ship from zstore or fleet store would be most appropriate for that time period? thank you in advance for replies
I think all the T-6 TOS era ships are locked behind a lot box including the T-6 Connie. The only TOS T-6 you can get from c-store is the temporal Daedalus class. You could use late 23rd century ships TMP era ships. The T-6 pilot light cruiser using the Miranda skin or the T-6 command medium cruiser using the Excelsior/Excelsior refit skin they are all available from the C-store. Each of these also have fleet versions too.
The Ranger-class Temporal Battlecruiser is the only T6 TOS ship you can buy from the store. The T6 Connie is only available as a rare random drop from R&D packs during designated promotional periods (apparently CBS wanted to keep the top-end version rare).
Once you've gone through all 24 viable letters (which given a projected service life of 20-80 years per vessel might take a while), you can start again with AA, AB... Etc.
Another ship name with an Enterprise like class progression... 8:45 so what you’re saying is, let’s make sure history never forgets the name... Excalibur!? And I still don’t like non-shuttlecraft having “II” in the name or non-Enterprises having “-A” registries. No reason they can’t of course, just seems odd to me.
The Excalibur class looks like it borrows from the Constitution, Ambassador, and Sovereign classes in terms of design elements -- I like it. Although I wanna know why the Excalibur II wasn't the Excalibur A...
@@morganb6717 hmm... Was the Excalibur still around when the Excalibur II came around? If not, why not give the new ship the legacy registry number and call it Excalibur A?
@@DoctorX17 i did misspell that. *Excalibur. annoyed with myself now. meh. right, so, i dunno why we don't see it carrying a legacy identifier. you'd have to ask those who wrote the ships into canon.

I remember he had a heart attack or stroke some years ago, I think he gave up on the New Frontier novels. The last few released were several years apart from one another. Been several years since the last one.
Right as you have shown you don't mind a purely book Canon ship. What about the uss de vinci. Obviously that takes into the saber class in Corp vertion Ncc-81623. But I can see a sub and a worship after a quick Google surch. And maybe if we really feel like a wonder into the bad land what about the uss Chimera out at deep space 3.

United Star Ship. It's a modification of the SS designator used by the United Earth Space Probe Agency during the period between the Romulan War and the founding of the Federation (as in SS Valiant, the ship that crashed on Talos IV as mentioned in the original pilot, "The Cage").
USS was an identifying prefix used before the names of sea-faring ships on Earth and space-faring ships of United Earth and United Federation of Planets. The abbreviation has been used to stand for "United States Ship", "United Space Ship", and "United Star Ship". USS was referred to as standing for either "United Space Ship" (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part I", "Space Seed", "The Gamesters of Triskelion", "Patterns of Force", "Assignment: Earth", "Elaan of Troyius") or "United Star Ship." (TOS: "The Squire of Gothos", "Court Martial") This designation was used as early as 2167 on a Daedalus-class starship, the USS Essex. (TNG: "Power Play") It was only after the series' pilot episode "The Cage" was picked up, and Roddenberry had worked out his initial pitch into the more fully worked out first version of The Star Trek guide internal document - famed in later Star Trek-lore under its "The Writer's Bible" denominator - that he amended the "S.S." to "U.S.S.", this time emphatically specifying the abbreviation to stand for "United Spaceship", and most certainly not for "United States Spaceship", as the old notion of traditional statehood had been abandoned in his vision of the future. (3rd revision, 17 April 1967, p. 1) Author Stephen Whitfield has related in his reference book The Making of Star Trek (p. 112) how Roddenberry had to actually mount a vigorous defense of the meaning of his new amended prefix against chauvinistic NBC network executives who were lamenting why it could not be "a good, safe patriotic United States spaceship."
What about a review of the Odyssey class since it's now alpha canon. It even has a refit version. In STO after the Iconian War after the Enterprise F was badly damaged in the Battle for the Sol System she came out of the San Francisco shipyards now using the Yorktown science star cruiser look. I use a Yorktown variant Odyssey refit in STO. Mine is the USS Yorktown NCC 1717-A. The sister ship to the Enterprise F.
@@Revkor because its in Picards story. The recent comic has the Odyssey class in it. And the comic is alpha cannon filling in the blanks between Nemesis and the new show. Picards ship the USS Verity that he uses to save the Romulans is an Odyssey class.
Something I want to say about the Excalibur sword there is some evidence that the word Excalibur may have been modified multiple times throughout history may originally beat an old British Celtic word that literally means sword so when they talk about the sword Excalibur what they mean is the King's sword nothing special or magical about it
I'd love to see a video on the Pathfinder-I Class! One of my favorite starships from the Memory Gamma database (memory-gamma.fandom.com/wiki/Pathfinder_I_class) Also, I just found your channel today and am loving the trek videos!
In naval tradition "ships" were vessels that were designed with the intention to operate as part of a battle line. From the 17th to the 20th century the dominating battle tactic was for ships to sail behind each other in long a line. The term "ship of the line" is based in that and the British Royal navy referred to vessels useable in such a battle line as "ships" and to those that weren't useable in a battle line as "boats". I'm not sure about the United States Navy, though. The battle line as a tactic is obsolete today, but the tradition to distinguish ships from boats is based on it is still alive.
I’m a MASSIVE fan of the New Frontier series, (and yes I did wince when Ric pronounced Calhoun wrong) and in his defence, like Mackenzie, may have originated from the Scottish clan Colquhoun which is Celtic and is probably pronounced that way
Thank-you for drawing attention to the New Frontier saga… I loved those books so much.
Pendragon would've been a good name for a sister ship to the Excalibur.
I also think the Merlin would be a good starship name.
So would Morgana.
@@LordSpleach I could see a Rogue element steal a ship of the line and renaming it Morgana.
One of my STO ships is called Mons Badon, which could fit the Arthurian name line
Yaa but I like Kirk s ship that's y if you see me on Xbox 1 you only see 1701 a t6
I loved reading the book series,it's when star trek books started to be more connected and got much much better in quality in my opinion
It was refreshing to see an actual book series come out that was not Enterprise-centric, and to see it so well received.
@@samsonguy10k I am big fan of the Titan series
Not well enough received as I found the book series a year after it was published by the time I got to the twelfth book I think and Peter David killed off the series and crew.
Peter David did an AMAZING job describing M'Kenzy Calhoun and his tenuous relationship with Commander Shelby. Yeah... THAT Shelby.
Who was also his wife.
I read the first novel with Calhoun way back in the day.
The new Titan-A looks like an Excalibur-class.
Have to admit, I really like the Excalibur-class design.
It was my first choice when I got into Star Trek Online for a while.
A Connie callback with Sovereign-style nacelles? Why wouldn't you like it?
My favorite is the refit. Those rectangular nacelles look like a 1960s Lincoln Contenental. Or Ford Thunderbird.
I absolutely love the Ambassador class starship

Maybe that could bring in a Dominion War Defiant class baring that name. Would make since for the time.
That Captain's last name is pronounced "Cal-hoon"
Thank you

Yes. Thank you
XD, lmao, brits mispronounce things to confound and sow discord amongst humanity.
Yes that was a damb fine book set. Wish they had pick that some times of some of the ones they did use.
‘Excalibur’ is an EXCELLENT ship name!
Oooohh, that Excalibur-class looks pretty darn sweet.
Yeah, a Constitution, but built with late 24th Century technology...
You know, that raises a question: _why did Starfleet never actually consider that!?_
The longevity of the Excalibur class makes it an excellent choice for fanfilms and CBS/Aramount shows & movies

@@Revkor because its in Picards story. The recent comic has the Odyssey class in it. And the comic is alpha cannon filling in the blanks between Nemesis and the new show. Picards ship the USS Verity that he uses to save the Romulans is an Odyssey class.
@@paulgrattan3885 that's not canon.
👍
Something I want to say about the Excalibur sword there is some evidence that the word Excalibur may have been modified multiple times throughout history may originally beat an old British Celtic word that literally means sword so when they talk about the sword Excalibur what they mean is the King's sword nothing special or magical about it
I'd love to see a video on the Pathfinder-I Class! One of my favorite starships from the Memory Gamma database (memory-gamma.fandom.com/wiki/Pathfinder_I_class)
Also, I just found your channel today and am loving the trek videos!
So what’s the difference in definition between a ‘ship’ and a ‘boat’ ? 🤔
Broadly? A boat can fit on a ship, though submarines are always called boats.
In naval tradition "ships" were vessels that were designed with the intention to operate as part of a battle line. From the 17th to the 20th century the dominating battle tactic was for ships to sail behind each other in long a line. The term "ship of the line" is based in that and the British Royal navy referred to vessels useable in such a battle line as "ships" and to those that weren't useable in a battle line as "boats". I'm not sure about the United States Navy, though. The battle line as a tactic is obsolete today, but the tradition to distinguish ships from boats is based on it is still alive.
The Excalibur class... Well, I just never warmed to it. It somehow looks gangly and misshapen.
A lot of deadly computer virus
Lexington Please
What class of ship is at 2:47
That's the Excalibur class described later in the video, which appears in Star Trek Online.
