I gotta say I love the Concept of this Post-Dominion Ship being a ship more focussed on Exploration and Science (like The Nova Class) And still have Speed and Size of a heavy Cruiser (At least thats what I gather from what It's Captain says about her in Episodes 2 and 3). HOWEVER, the notion of it being Visibly armed with Old Style Phaser Emitters together with more modern Phaser Banks is just absolutely bizzare (The Designers probably wanted to evoke the same Design elements from the Constitution Refit, but still...). After The Introduction of the Amabssador class EVERY new ship Design (excluding Kitbashed things like the Centaur or Curie) we saw had propper Phaser Banks, not even the smaller Ships...
Perhaps they are a new and improved emitter, or just more economical. I don't think it was designed for combat first and foremost. Which makes me wonder if the Shrike would handle a more beefy Star Fleet vessel...
@@andromidius yeah, while the Shrike is described as a formidable warship, I think it would be outmatched by a Starfleet Main Line Heavy Cruiser like the Vesta, Odyssey or even an Inquiry or Sovereign.
If you look closely it has three dual phaser banks on the dorsal and ventral of the saucer as well as three phaser strips as well, so six phaser type emplacements on the saucer alone. Why have both strips and banks, no clue considering we only saw ship with phaser banks be ships of late 23rd or early 24th century design thrown into service or extended service during the Dominion War.
@@kaltenstein7718 I think it would take a number of vessels to take on the Shrike. I imagine an Odyssey could be likened to the Enterprise E v the Scimitar in Nemesis
I was wondering why they had retina scanners when every camera on the ship, on every Starfleet ship, which were in every room corner, were able to retina scan without the person being scanned's knowledge. Did Starfleet take some kind of security step-back as some new "privacy" thing that played in the canon's background?
@chrismills2439 The Enterprise A was a renamed ship, though there's some debate over what the original ship was. The second U.S.S. Defiant was also the renamed Sao Paulo, so it does happen.
Look it's not terrible but I for one was hoping to see the Luna Titan. It's a really cool design and I've been looking forward to seeing it in live action. Kinda feels like a bait and switch for nostalgic fan services 🙁
Neo Constitution Class is fan service. I like it's design but yeah, I agree that I would have liked to see the Luna too. Season 3 is trying really hard to bring back the fans. Let's hope they remember why they need the fans for whatever comes next.
@@chrispekel5709 i didn’t care for the Luna, but it was internally consistent and proportioned sensibly, unlike this Frankenfuq of a disaster “NeoConstitution”
Agreed, but I really hope that next week is the last episode spent in the "nebula," and that they advance the story. We'll already be at episode 4, and by what has been uncovered by Worf and Raffi, and what's going on onboard the Titan, and we still haven't seen the other 2/3 of the expected cast, they need chop-chop and get moving.
It is growing on me. Still a bit of an odd design, but it looks good in motion. It strikes me very much as being... kind of a support vessel. The way its talked about is its not especially well armed, just really fast - so its like an improved California class.
It does feel like it's not top-of-the-line, but it seems to have the same role as the original Constitution: long-range exploration with a certain degree of scientific analysis. Not the best at fighting, not the most detailed science vessel, but it IS able to fulfill the basics of either role for a long period of time without much access to starbases. As Mark Southwell said in another comment, it's also designed to have relatively fast sublight speeds; while it isn't necessarily going to overwhelm foes, it can swiftly disengage from threats.
@@TheZacula plus, maybe they've upgraded it's defence and offensive capabilities after its recent conflicts . ( They've had a year to undertake upgrades) It has phaser strips and phaser turrets. They upgraded the Lakota in DS9😊
My understanding is, in universe, the bulk of the Titan-A is the original Shangri-La class that was repurposed (and updated) after being mothballed for a very long time. It’s not designed to look old, it is old. Similar to a resto-mod of an old muscle car. Just put big ass engines on an old ship.
I agree, the official log states that the A is build using the spaceframe of the 'original Titan' which could honestly be both the Shangri'La or Luna, but looking at the very clear design influence and the fact it still has TMP phasers alongside the phaserstrips seems to support the idea of it being the spaceframe of the Shangri'La. Even the saucer windows match up. I'd imagine any size difference could be because of the nacelles and their placement. There is mention of internal components from the Luna class being integrated, but as far as I can see the spaceframe is clearly the Shangri'La OR an almost 1:1 copied retro redesign (which seems a bit silly to me, especially adding the old phasers ... For nostalgia?)
I'd say the Titan's exterior looks are very functional, maybe a little dated but still rather pleasant. Inside, very futuristic, perhaps even ahead of its time. Almost like if Seven of Nine were a ship...
Leftenant Commander Adam, I absolutely love your delivery style. My favorite presenter on TC. Keep up the damned fine work. Oh, and the Titan-A is a kickass ship worthy of the storyline.
Few ships have taken as hard a licking and kept fighting as the Titan did during Picard season 3. Not only did it survive the fall into the nebula by sucking up huge energy pulses, it took on the entire fleet single-handedly!
I want a model of it. 1701-A has always been my favorite and this, especially the saucer, borrows heavily from it. She looks familiar but new a nice mix of new and familiar which is what they were going for.
I traded my old one in on a 2023 model, I'm glad I've seen this video making a lot easier for me to get to know the ship. Thanks you get a thumbs up from me 👍🏻
It's a nice ship. While the inside does look futuristic compared to the enterprise D the outside looks to me like it belonged in an era between the Enterprise B and Enterprise D. Rikers Titan looked more upto date with the rest of the fleet. You can tell alot of inspiration came from the original Enterprise Refit. They even had the view screen sound effects off The Undiscovered Country lol. This ship is a small Frigate type of ship most probably replacing the Miranda class. I think it would of made more sense it being built from and old constitution class. I personally believe that was the plan but they changed it for scripted purposes.
Perhaps because the Neo Constitution (there, I've made my choice on the name) design is fundamentally similar to the original Constitution layout, I can not help but love it. I know several here have already stated their disagreement, that the ship's layout should have been more similar to the Titan when Riker commanded it, but that design never grew on me. I prefer my Federation ships with the saucer section leading, connected to a lower main hull by the dish or a "neck", and two upright pylons supporting twin nacells.
I would say that I am not a fan of her Engineering section as it seems off somehow compared to the rest of the ship, but otherwise a beautiful design that doesn't look all Sovereign-y.
You should see the Exeter class Constitution variant Starship on Star Trek online. Looks like a Constitution class refit but has saucer elements from the TNG era also had a much thicker neck connecting the saucer to the secondary hull.
Before Shaw, it's probably that Commander Tuvok took over after Riker retired. Tuvok was Riker's XO in the novels and probably got promoted to Admiral or went to teach in Starfleet Academy just like a lot of Voyager's officers.
Another great video, Commander Adam. BTW the way how the main deflector dish is sunk in, it reminds me of how the Enterprise-B is. I definitely love how the ship has a mash of the Refit Constitution and Excelsior class designs. Bill Krause did a fantastic job designing this ship. I know it is a variation of the Shangra La class but still. Edit: I also still have the Star Trek TNG Tech Manual (signed by Rick Sternbach) and love reading it every now and then.
You know, at first, I really disliked this ship. Not because of its design, but because I felt it felt out of place in the 25th century. But after seeing it in action in the first three episodes, I've fallen in love with it.
ok ok ok, this freakin dry ass sarcastic humor, blended with the discovery documentory style voice, is just so working for me. LOVE IT! I'm a fan, you got me. Man, you rock!
I personally love it. My favorite ships of all time are those mid-tier exploratory/diplomatic cruisers like the Excelsior and the Ambassador. This fits that philosophy of ships really well. Jack of all trades, master of none.
Love it! Thanks for the vid! I notice alot of comments about the Titan being weak, but the Shrike is armed like a super ship and has more armament than a scimitar. I guess Vadec likes taking bountys on entire galactic powers and for off time competing in Vaudwaar and Hirogen death match tournaments?
I can't get over the size of over 550m for this thing. The windows just look off for that size, I at first thought the Titan-A was more like 400m in length. She also reminds me not only of the Excelsior, but much more the Obena-Class from Lower Decks.
Yeah, that's a head scratcher. You can clearly count the decks and it looks nowhere near that big. The saucer edge looks to be the same number of decks as the Enterprise-A.
The Esthetics are very appealing and looking forward to this ship becoming a model to be purchased to build and admire along with many of the other starships within the Star Trek Universe
NEO Constitution Class... That's what Riker called it. I call the title ship for the series the "HERO" ship. I really love the design of the ship. Harkens back to the more classic look for the Starfleet. Some designers really getting their retro looks in! But can they turn up the frigging lights on the bridge????
@@jamin4556 Maybe. I thought that was like a cinematographer's choice, but I can see that. Still not good for TV though. I know they like to take advantage of the HDR sets but some of us don't like to sit in a dark room to watch shows.
First Great video and I had fun seeing a hearing it. IMHO Adam should be the Computer voice for the NEXT Star Trek Series. You ALL Know I'm right on this!
Personally I think this is one of the best looking ships we have had in Star Trek for a long time. There isn't an angle that looks awkward. Love it. How many decks does it have?
It reminds me a bit of the Excalibur, Exeter and Vesper class ships of STO, although I have a bit more of a sentimental attachment to the Excalibur class. I think I liked the Stargazer more and would have liked to have had more continuity between the seasons of Picard but I am enjoying what we have seen so far.
I feel like not using the Enterprise E, even as an older ship was a missed opportunity. Shes still gorgeous, underutilized, and starships should last a good 30 years and get a refit! Real life ships serve decades longer.
It was a awesome to watch "Vadic" Amanda Plummer to mimic her famous actor father Christoper Plummer's Admiral Chang from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
🖖😎👍Very nicely well done and very well executed and informatively explained in every way and detail provided indeed, It's very nicely looking starship and very nicely designed indeed👌...
I didn’t think I would actually LOVE the original Luna but I really love it. I am a real basic “constitution class “ lover. Big saucer and a main body. The Luna class didn’t have that, but this new one does and it doesn’t work for me. I really hoped that they would have a show that had a hero ship that wasn’t a standard trek ship. Edit: Those nacelles are too chunky!
The Luna design wouldn't work as well from a cinema photography angle, plus it's an odd looking ship and doesn't have enough interesting angles for it to work well on screen. That's one of the reasons why they've gone for the neo constitution design as it works well on screen
The initial stills before the season premier didn't really gel for me. However, seeing the Titan-A in motion and from several angles I have completely changed my opinion of the design and I absolutely love it.
If you’re having a problem with a class name for this ship, the TOS Enterprise was named Starship Class in the dedication plaque and Heavy Class Cruiser on a computer display in Th Search for Spock. I think the term Constitution Class wasn’t officially used until TNG.
Oh well, you are at engineering then, Mr. Adam. What I didn't like is the fact I believed that ship was a heavy cruiser 🤔 not a heavy cruiser but TOUGHER because of its design, but it wasn't. Anyway I love the design. And I hate the lack of lights specifically on the bridge 🤨 with those steps and darkness, the probability of accidents gets way higher
Other than some slight modifications it's basically the same as the Shangri-La class and looks very out of place in the 25th century, especially compared to the luna class, the Voyager B, and the odyssey class Enterprise F. Also why is the original Excelsior still in operation with what looks like a major refit (picard season 2) and the Enterprise F is going into early decommissioning?
What you say is true. Nothing makes much sense with regards to ship aesthetics and evolution in this series. It's all over the place, as if they're trying to please everyone and failing at it.
So much work also went into the USS Enterprise interior for Season 2 of Discovery, so that being said, perhaps they had always planned a spin-off series from Picatd to continue using the interior sets for the Stargazer. In Season 1 of Picard, not much was shown of the interior for the Inquiry-class as all we get is Riker sitting in the Captain's chair, so obviously no interior set was built or needed for the the Inquiry-class on screen. But with wanting to introduce the new USS Stargazer, they built interior sets, which I would think they wouldn't spend all that money and time building if their wasn't plans to use the set more, like in a new series. I truly hope plans are in the works for a series with the USS Titan-A, so they can get some use out of the sets they built. The La Sirena interior sets have been used in practically all 3 seasons of Picard, getting it's money worth in spending to be built. We know that Star Trek sets from bridges to quarters have been reused and redress to represent other starship, because it is probably a lot cheaper to just redress an old set. makes me wonder if the USS Discovery interior sets won't make their way, redressed, for other series.
The extra lumps on the nacelles do no good for the overall visual appeal of the Titan. But its homage to certain prior Enterprise design features is appreciated. Now I'm looking forward to the cameo visits from certain members of the crew of the Cerritos some time this season.
I like it a lot, but I don't watch any of the series. I'm waiting for them to end so that I can buy all the seasons and/or the DVDs. Yeah, I still shop the cutout bins.
I like it it looks like a beefed up constitution class. From some angles it has that predatory look. The oversize impulse engines though not asthetically pleasing are forgivable due superior impulse drive performance. Where the original constitution and the last Enterprise had a more sleek stretched out look. The Titan has a more compressed stocky beefed up look. The neck between saucer section and the main body is good example. Kind looks like a football player or wrestlers neck. All in all I think they did a pretty good job. What's the deal with photon torpedo's? You would assume for that day and age quantum torpedo's would be standard on all Starfleet vessels. Otherwise all and all a good job.
The only other handle bar ever In a turbo lift, was TOS when you had to grab it prior to voicing a command. And you really think adding handlebars would really be a good idea...remember that episode when the turbo lift went haywire and threw Geordi all over?
I love the new coloring of the consoles. To me the grey and maroon hues are much more pleasing than the yellows and blues of the TNG era ships. I would like to see the ship be able to hang in a fight a bit better honestly. I know the Shrike is a battleship all and all, it seems the Titan is less of a Titan and more of a mouse.
I like technobabble!!! Thank you Lieutenant Commander Adam for your eloquent delivery!!! 🖖
I would love to see Jery Rayn captain her own ship that would make a great series and even a Warf series as well .
I've been dying for a "captain Worf" series since the last TNG movie came out.
I gotta say I love the Concept of this Post-Dominion Ship being a ship more focussed on Exploration and Science (like The Nova Class) And still have Speed and Size of a heavy Cruiser (At least thats what I gather from what It's Captain says about her in Episodes 2 and 3).

I know I'm in the minority, but after all of her heroics and valor, the Titan-A did not deserve to lose its name just to be renamed the Enterprise.
You aren’t in the minority.
@dhunter1133 - Whatever group that you're in - minority? majority? who knows? - you have quite a few of us joining you.
Very true. She lived up to her name.
you do not rename ships ever. F and Titan-A were done dirty
@chrismills2439 The Enterprise A was a renamed ship, though there's some debate over what the original ship was.
The second U.S.S. Defiant was also the renamed Sao Paulo, so it does happen.
They never had high-tech for their day. The Constitution class was a super tank. It could take insane amounts of damage and keep going.

I love the curved design of the consoles. A very fluid elegant design.
I've only seen the first two episodes so far, but this season of Picard is already starting off better than either of the first two seasons.
It definitely is starting off better!
And yet they were firmed at the same time
Agreed, but I really hope that next week is the last episode spent in the "nebula," and that they advance the story. We'll already be at episode 4, and by what has been uncovered by Worf and Raffi, and what's going on onboard the Titan, and we still haven't seen the other 2/3 of the expected cast, they need chop-chop and get moving.
i really enjoyed the uss titan design the dev team made it look tough even if it doesn't end up going to war
It is growing on me. Still a bit of an odd design, but it looks good in motion.
It strikes me very much as being... kind of a support vessel. The way its talked about is its not especially well armed, just really fast - so its like an improved California class.
It's just your standard exploration/ science vessel. One of its major strengths is it's propulsion systems and very fast impulse speeds 😊
It does feel like it's not top-of-the-line, but it seems to have the same role as the original Constitution: long-range exploration with a certain degree of scientific analysis. Not the best at fighting, not the most detailed science vessel, but it IS able to fulfill the basics of either role for a long period of time without much access to starbases. As Mark Southwell said in another comment, it's also designed to have relatively fast sublight speeds; while it isn't necessarily going to overwhelm foes, it can swiftly disengage from threats.
@@TheZacula plus, maybe they've upgraded it's defence and offensive capabilities after its recent conflicts . ( They've had a year to undertake upgrades) It has phaser strips and phaser turrets. They upgraded the Lakota in DS9😊
My understanding is, in universe, the bulk of the Titan-A is the original Shangri-La class that was repurposed (and updated) after being mothballed for a very long time. It’s not designed to look old, it is old. Similar to a resto-mod of an old muscle car. Just put big ass engines on an old ship.

I really like the new ship they have on Season 3 of Picard it makes me think of the original Star Trek movies its a very classic design 👌
Personally I love this version of the starship! I hope they put out a model kit of this ship at 1/350 scale!
The holodecks are interesting besides other decks including senior staff or officers. All personnel are important.

Personally I think this is one of the best looking ships we have had in Star Trek for a long time. There isn't an angle that looks awkward. Love it.
How many decks does it have?
1:58 looks like 7 to 9 decks
It reminds me a bit of the Excalibur, Exeter and Vesper class ships of STO, although I have a bit more of a sentimental attachment to the Excalibur class. I think I liked the Stargazer more and would have liked to have had more continuity between the seasons of Picard but I am enjoying what we have seen so far.
There is a pic of the ship's dedication plaque somewhere. "Constitution-III Class"
I feel like not using the Enterprise E, even as an older ship was a missed opportunity. Shes still gorgeous, underutilized, and starships should last a good 30 years and get a refit! Real life ships serve decades longer.
What I’d like to see is a breakdown of the different bridge controls through the many years/many ships . . .
We’ll add that to our video list and see if it’s something we can accomplish this year :)

I really loved the Titan-A! I thought it was a very cool, and charming design.
The bridge looks nice with the lights on.
Love how it looks like the 1701A but with improvements
I love the ship. Looks great
I love it , just wish MORE LIGHTS ON THE BRIDGE OR “LIGHTER DECK PLATES “
Maybe including decks 12a & E1 were the writers way to either fix or poke fun at the mystery of how many decks the Enterprise-E had?
The Luna class Titan is so much of a nicer-looking ship

Edit: Those nacelles are too chunky!
The Luna design wouldn't work as well from a cinema photography angle, plus it's an odd looking ship and doesn't have enough interesting angles for it to work well on screen. That's one of the reasons why they've gone for the neo constitution design as it works well on screen
Adam is the best!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
build a starship/warship that has borg dominion klingon romulan breen and husnock technology all in 1 ship.
The initial stills before the season premier didn't really gel for me. However, seeing the Titan-A in motion and from several angles I have completely changed my opinion of the design and I absolutely love it.
It looks great but the details make it look 130 years out of date.
think in my heart is place for both Titan`s. Buit have to see more of the Stargazer
Palpatine said “Dewit” when you requested to subscribe. So I did it.
If you’re having a problem with a class name for this ship, the TOS Enterprise was named Starship Class in the dedication plaque and Heavy Class Cruiser on a computer display in Th Search for Spock. I think the term Constitution Class wasn’t officially used until TNG.
Oh well, you are at engineering then, Mr. Adam.
What I didn't like is the fact I believed that ship was a heavy cruiser 🤔 not a heavy cruiser but TOUGHER because of its design, but it wasn't.
Anyway I love the design.
And I hate the lack of lights specifically on the bridge 🤨 with those steps and darkness, the probability of accidents gets way higher
Great video - thank you.
Neerrrrrrrrrrd!!! I approve.
Thanks a Lot, Frasier!
Other than some slight modifications it's basically the same as the Shangri-La class and looks very out of place in the 25th century, especially compared to the luna class, the Voyager B, and the odyssey class Enterprise F. Also why is the original Excelsior still in operation with what looks like a major refit (picard season 2) and the Enterprise F is going into early decommissioning?
What you say is true. Nothing makes much sense with regards to ship aesthetics and evolution in this series. It's all over the place, as if they're trying to please everyone and failing at it.
Love the new ship. She has beautiful lines. 😘😘😘
So much work also went into the USS Enterprise interior for Season 2 of Discovery, so that being said, perhaps they had always planned a spin-off series from Picatd to continue using the interior sets for the Stargazer. In Season 1 of Picard, not much was shown of the interior for the Inquiry-class as all we get is Riker sitting in the Captain's chair, so obviously no interior set was built or needed for the the Inquiry-class on screen. But with wanting to introduce the new USS Stargazer, they built interior sets, which I would think they wouldn't spend all that money and time building if their wasn't plans to use the set more, like in a new series. I truly hope plans are in the works for a series with the USS Titan-A, so they can get some use out of the sets they built. The La Sirena interior sets have been used in practically all 3 seasons of Picard, getting it's money worth in spending to be built. We know that Star Trek sets from bridges to quarters have been reused and redress to represent other starship, because it is probably a lot cheaper to just redress an old set. makes me wonder if the USS Discovery interior sets won't make their way, redressed, for other series.
I like how you describe future Starships as in past tense, as opposed to future tense... 😆
The extra lumps on the nacelles do no good for the overall visual appeal of the Titan. But its homage to certain prior Enterprise design features is appreciated. Now I'm looking forward to the cameo visits from certain members of the crew of the Cerritos some time this season.
Those nacelles ! Very eccentric!
I like it a lot, but I don't watch any of the series. I'm waiting for them to end so that I can buy all the seasons and/or the DVDs. Yeah, I still shop the cutout bins.
Good narration. Better than the kid.
I like it it looks like a beefed up constitution class. From some angles it has that predatory look. The oversize impulse engines though not asthetically pleasing are forgivable due superior impulse drive performance. Where the original constitution and the last Enterprise had a more sleek stretched out look. The Titan has a more compressed stocky beefed up look. The neck between saucer section and the main body is good example. Kind looks like a football player or wrestlers neck. All in all I think they did a pretty good job. What's the deal with photon torpedo's? You would assume for that day and age quantum torpedo's would be standard on all Starfleet vessels. Otherwise all and all a good job.
The only other handle bar ever In a turbo lift, was TOS when you had to grab it prior to voicing a command. And you really think adding handlebars would really be a good idea...remember that episode when the turbo lift went haywire and threw Geordi all over?
She looks formidable. If no one wants ii, I'll take it!
Greetings Commander, Fleet Admiral Unity here, can we have a break down class starshipof the Elios ?
Your mentioned a Greek restaurant in Big Sur, CA.
Is it bigger, faster and more powerful than the Excelsior that could fire at warp?
Very nice starship new hero starship USS Titan-A Enterprise F this is the federation & Starfleet. ❤😊🎉
Pretty cool looking ship
I like how it looks. Very beefy and sleek at the same time.
That was amazing!
I love the new coloring of the consoles. To me the grey and maroon hues are much more pleasing than the yellows and blues of the TNG era ships. I would like to see the ship be able to hang in a fight a bit better honestly. I know the Shrike is a battleship all and all, it seems the Titan is less of a Titan and more of a mouse.
Thank you!
I’m halfway thru this video AND JUST GET TO THE WEAPONS AND OTHER COOL STUFF
