@@MrGoesBoom my guess is that it' s more like a small freighter, kinda bigger than a runabout or a yellowston, but not as big as a normal FCA o Bolian model
Freedom-class? USS Franklin? I thought the Franklin was unique? And the Freedom-class is a ONE engined ship from the TNG era, seen in "Best of Both Worlds..."
@Sean Wilkinson Very practical!If it was Star Wars, it would just be a generic ship but with a paint job like a red stripe. No effort or depth to design a unique medical ship. In the movies the Rebellion's medical ship was a repurposed Nebulon B frigate.
Sean Wilkinson Sure, the spherical design looks peaceful, but if you’re responding to a medical emergency in the middle of a Romulan battle, I don’t think it’ll make you less likely to be hit...
The sphere might accommodate omnidirectional transporter beams or even maximized surface for medical shuttle bays with minimized paths to inner medical wards. A big hospital isn't much use without an ambulance fleet.
Star Fleet: We're peaceful explorers and are totally non-violent Borg: Sup Nerds? Star Fleet: We need guns, we need lots and lots of guns Ben Sisko: I'll have it for you by monday
I had always hated the design of the Olympic class in Star Trek... until I flew one in Star Trek Online, and now I love the look of it! Seeing it in 3D worked for some reason.
I didn't know there is actually an Olympic class ship that big ball can be a hospital section i thought that makes sense instead of square or rectangle shapes like most haspital
Raven class ship was not the same size as a runabout vessel. The Raven class was a 5 deck deep space, extended period exploration ship with a shuttle bay of it's own. The runabout, generally shown as the Danube class vessel, was a single deck warp capable ship that was bigger than a shuttle, wiith small crew compartments, but significantly smaller than a starship.
There were actually some experiments in the 50s and 60s using round shaped aircraft. They did find that a round body COULD generate lift. It's plausible but a lot of that would depend on things we know nothing about; e.g. the aero dynamic qualities of that particular shape on that particular planet
The Nova-class ship was more heavily armed and armored than the Oberth-class. Considering that the Oberth we saw in Search for Spock got taken out by a single hit from a Klingon Bird of Prey, that doesn't seem like a very high watermark.
1:33 I agree that falling off a cliff won't solve your starship's issues with attaining enough speed to even use impulse drive. Tne momentum of the ship falling to a horrible crash doesn't seem capable of jump-starting any spacecraft drive of which I'm aware.
The Olympic class is the original design drawing of the Constitution class from the TOS. Then someone decided to flatten out the bowling ball to what we have now.
Which Prometheus though? There is the Prometheus from DS9 which uses the Enterprise D saucer section and underbelly nacelles, used as an advanced science and research vessel. Or the Prometheus from Voyager which is a multi vector attack craft with 6 total warp nacelles and with only a single pilot can split into 3 separate, equally destructive fighters. Would have loved to see more screen time for that one.
Prometheus-class (with real lights and sounds, multi-vector assault mode, and killer kung-fu grip!) was an instantly recognizable favourite with (young) Star Trek audiences since it first aired. So not a "little known" ship.
Anyone interested Ina great Star Trek real time strategy game should look into ST Armada and ST Armada 2. They are old games with good campaigns for Romulans, Klingons, and Borg. Multi-player has Cardasians, and Species 8472. All have complete fleets and tech trees.
Doubt Gene Roddenberry really had much to do with the show since it aired years after his death. Andromeda and it's predecessor Earth: Final Conflict, had Roddenberry's name slapped on to make it more viable to sell to Roddenberry's Star Trek fanbase. Both shows felt like somebodies hand rummaging around in your pocket for your wallet while someone called you, Bro and claiming they were you best friend.
both the Wells class & USS Voyager can be adapted as a realistic spacecraft in real life using present technological advancements . . . one that can transport humans to Mars . . .

That "shot from Golden Eye" has actually be used since silent film days. I can think of at least a couple of episodes of the original "Ducktales" from the mid 1980s that uses it as well.
It's an easy way to film one thing being dropped a moment before another identical-looking thing is launched upwards - can't keep crashing planes or helicopeters (or ducks) while filming. But it's just lazy and uncreative when you film with disposable CGI starships. Lack of original or authentic effort shows in the shows.
And I can tell you this, as a pilot, that scene in Golden Eye was just as ridiculously fake as the fictional concept of a 100 plus year old derelict starship being able to achieve that maneuver. And I am not just talking about someone climbing aboard a falling out of control airplane. The "lift" angle of attack, speed, etc. of that plane was all over the spectrum. The best bush planes in the world cannot recover from that scenario. But to the untrained pilot, it might seem plausible. lol. I could also go on and on about trivia facts about the jump from the dam that was in fact not from a dam, but I won't. lol.
@@WW-wf8tu Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what that was meant to be about. The PC-6 is a pretty good STOL design, and I'm pretty sure it's Vr is like 50-60KIAS, certainly no need to throw it off a cliff for an extended time for it to fly! And surely once it got airflow over the wings it would pitch up naturally anyway even without pilot input - at least, until the airspeed dropped off and it pitches down again, and so on, and so on. I'm pretty sure that to replicate the film shot, you'd have to be holding full elevator down to stop it pitching up - and even then I reckon it'd overcome that at some point and start pitching anyway.

Random observations. In universe the Nova class was supposed to be the pathfinder vessel for the Defiant back when the plan was to have a really high warp torpedo boat that would do hit and run salvos, but they changed the entire concept and went for a close range slugger. But since the frame was viable they repurposed it into the Nova class and greatly downgraded the warp core. And the anti Borg ships that debuted in First Contact took some design cues from the Defiant in that they didn't have nacelles out on long pylons unsupported and vulnerable. Most had them connected to the primary hull in some way or at least partially obscured by the primary hull. The idea was that since there was going to be a new Enterprise, they didn't want to confuse the audience by having another new ship with the traditional saucer, secondary hull and nacelles on pylons look. The in universe explanation was that Starfleet was going to a new design paradigm of much tougher and more "muscular" ships. And the plan was that after Nemesis, when they had planned on continuing with the current timeline they were going to show Starfleet going to internal bridges and not having the long willowy exposed ships. But the ship designers had no say in the studio hiring a director who didn't even know or like Star Trek to direct Nemesis and killl the franchise for a while. But Star Trek online (which came much later) went back to mostly standard designs with just new detailing and styling. As for *Seven of Nine,* and her costume: a little trivia, her costume almost killed her! The original full Borg suit she wore (before she was deBorged) cut off the blood flow to her carotid artery when she turned her head. She immediately passed out and a alert film crewman turned her head straight and restored blood flow to her brain. As well her catsuit required 20 minutes to take off or put on - with help, so to avoid toilet breaks she just didn't drink much. I wonder if she made a clause about no catsuit for "Picard"? And finally when first screening Voyager, the local TV affiliate was a year behind, so my mates and I would hire the tapes [from a video shop, a lot of you may have read about them in 'remember 90's kids memes'] as soon as they came out. Well we were the second or third ones to hire Scorpion part 2, and the scene where Seven is revealed from behind in her slinky new outfit was hard to watch … I don't mean that as euphemism, the tape at that precise scene had lines and was crinkly because it had been held on pause for so long it had caused physical damage - on a video tape that had been released a few days earlier. This was a primitive time, before internet porn.
I love the Yeager class. I love to think of the nightmare that its engeneering shop had keeping it running. It must have been a true challenge getting all the incompatible components working together with out breaking down or blowing up. What a hero ship that would have made.
Seven of Nine didn't just improve the ratings, she led to the *Presidency of Barack Obama…* seriously. Jeri Ryan spent a long time away from her husband because of the role, which was interstate. And her marriage suffered due to that, and ended in 1999, so what? Jeri Ryan's by then ex-husband, Jack Ryan (not that one) was running for Senator for the GOP in Illinois in 2004, when confidential details of their divorce settlement were released by a judge after several newspapers sued for them. The details released included that Jeri Ryan alleged that Jack Ryan had wanted her to _perform sexual acts with him in public in sex clubs in New York City, New Orleans, and Paris,_ although no sex occurred. Jeri Ryan described one as "a bizarre club with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling. This didn't help with Jack's Republican campaign (remember this is pre Trump) and he withdrew, allowing his opponent Barrack Obama to score a upset win. Which then led to …. And then … So if course now we have … And all because Voyager was suffering in ratings and apparently B'Elanna Torres in a singlet top occasionally (and that swimsuit and the sonic shower once) and possessed Kes being lesbian in a leather jumpsuit weren't enough to sex up the ratings (a mirror universe DS9 trick). So if they had better writing early on they wouldn't have needed to bring in Seven of Fine, and the 2008 election would have gone differently. When you play cause and effect we end up in a very different timeline. Temporal Agents take note.

A little known fact is that the Bonsai tree was so overpowered that in order to keep the episode (and whole Star Trek franchise) from being finished in a few minutes they had to kill it off in what was arguably the most deus ex machina moment in the show.
Anyone who studied the old Starfleet Starship Recognition Chart respected the Olympic class for being a callback to the Daedalus. And respected the Vengeance as a Dreadnought, on immediate sight. My boyfriend thought I was crazy when I screamed in the theater when nobody else did.
The sphere section on the Olympic class makes sense if you consider that a sphere is the optimal shape for enclosing a volume with a minimum of surface area. Perhaps since it’s a medical ship, the idea is extra radiation shielding for vulnerable patients?
Minimum amounts of armor material and shield energy to fully encase the main hull. But maximum internal volume? The usual horizontally-layered arrangement with tiny floorspace in topmost/bottommost decks? An onion-layered or segmented arrangement with tons of crazy omnidirectional turbolift shafts/intersections?
Defiant, considering it nearly blew itself to bits during live fire trials. Best I can give ya, don't know much about the Saber class TBH lol. (Used to be able to quote off every spec of both Enterprise D & E though..XD)
Starfleet Design Tech: "Back in the 20th Century, the 'United States' commissioned a close-air-support craft called an ... 'A-10 Warthog'. Basically they designed the entire airframe around a multibarrel rotating cannon. I .. think we can do that here."
The Norway-Class is my bane. I’ve been trying to build a model of it for years, but in order to scale it, it just has to be oh so long with those blasted nacelle things on the aft.
I know them all!
Now I feel kinda like a nerd...😔

As well her catsuit required 20 minutes to take off or put on - with help, so to avoid toilet breaks she just didn't drink much.
I wonder if she made a clause about no catsuit for "Picard"?
And finally when first screening Voyager, the local TV affiliate was a year behind, so my mates and I would hire the tapes [from a video shop, a lot of you may have read about them in 'remember 90's kids memes'] as soon as they came out.
Well we were the second or third ones to hire Scorpion part 2, and the scene where Seven is revealed from behind in her slinky new outfit was hard to watch …
I don't mean that as euphemism, the tape at that precise scene had lines and was crinkly because it had been held on pause for so long it had caused physical damage - on a video tape that had been released a few days earlier.
This was a primitive time, before internet porn.
Also, out of universe, the Nova began as an early Defiant concept, before they wanted something more distinctive...
I love the Yeager class. I love to think of the nightmare that its engeneering shop had keeping it running. It must have been a true challenge getting all the incompatible components working together with out breaking down or blowing up. What a hero ship that would have made.
Seven of Nine didn't just improve the ratings, she led to the *Presidency of Barack Obama…* seriously. Jeri Ryan spent a long time away from her husband because of the role, which was interstate. And her marriage suffered due to that, and ended in 1999, so what?
Jeri Ryan's by then ex-husband, Jack Ryan (not that one) was running for Senator for the GOP in Illinois in 2004, when confidential details of their divorce settlement were released by a judge after several newspapers sued for them.
The details released included that Jeri Ryan alleged that Jack Ryan had wanted her to _perform sexual acts with him in public in sex clubs in New York City, New Orleans, and Paris,_ although no sex occurred. Jeri Ryan described one as "a bizarre club with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling.
This didn't help with Jack's Republican campaign (remember this is pre Trump) and he withdrew, allowing his opponent Barrack Obama to score a upset win. Which then led to ….
And then …
So if course now we have …
And all because Voyager was suffering in ratings and apparently B'Elanna Torres in a singlet top occasionally (and that swimsuit and the sonic shower once) and possessed Kes being lesbian in a leather jumpsuit weren't enough to sex up the ratings (a mirror universe DS9 trick).
So if they had better writing early on they wouldn't have needed to bring in Seven of Fine, and the 2008 election would have gone differently.
When you play cause and effect we end up in a very different timeline.
Temporal Agents take note.
That is so deep
Wait..... Jack Ryan was Tom Cruise????? Or, did you mean Tom Clancy?
@@crazyeyez1502 what do you mean? I'm looking at my [edited] comment and can see no mention of Cruise 😜.
Yep I got Ryan and Reacher mixed up … take your 👍
👍🏻
Akira class is my favorite ever sense I got Star Trek Armada so long ago lol
It was also on star trek bridge commander love that ship so much fun
@@chriswatson645 The name of the ship was a nice call to War of the Worlds.
Before 7 of 9: "Voyager" rating is 5 out of ten
After: "Voyager" Rating is 10 out of ten.
theyodanesss 🤣🤣
Left it to late for the trailer analysis, didn't you ?
Or is Alan still locked away furiously going through it frame by frame looking for clues while running sound wave comparisons to see if that is Palpatine.
Please let Alan stay locked away. This guy has such a slurred pronounciation he should undergo propper speaking lessons so his pronounciation is no longer like mumble jumble.
A little known fact is that the Bonsai tree was so overpowered that in order to keep the episode (and whole Star Trek franchise) from being finished in a few minutes they had to kill it off in what was arguably the most deus ex machina moment in the show.
I'm sure ben yells BONSAI!!! Everytime he see a Olympic class blow up
A whole section on a space Winnebago and nary a mention of Lone Star and Barf from Spaceballs?
Careful, heretic...
Not a real space Winnebago, just a stunt double.
The ball section could be a way of showing other races "this isn't a battle ship don't attack"
I love Nova class ever since I first seen it in Voyager it has become my favorite
Awww, how can you not make a connection between the old Daedalus class and the Olympic class?
Anyone who studied the old Starfleet Starship Recognition Chart respected the Olympic class for being a callback to the Daedalus.
And respected the Vengeance as a Dreadnought, on immediate sight. My boyfriend thought I was crazy when I screamed in the theater when nobody else did.
The sphere section on the Olympic class makes sense if you consider that a sphere is the optimal shape for enclosing a volume with a minimum of surface area. Perhaps since it’s a medical ship, the idea is extra radiation shielding for vulnerable patients?
Or simply the maximum volume possible for bed space, operating rooms, and other medical equipment.
Minimum amounts of armor material and shield energy to fully encase the main hull.
But maximum internal volume? The usual horizontally-layered arrangement with tiny floorspace in topmost/bottommost decks? An onion-layered or segmented arrangement with tons of crazy omnidirectional turbolift shafts/intersections?
The humor and editing in this one is top-notch.
Saber class. Give me a little ship with a great big gun.
Defiant, considering it nearly blew itself to bits during live fire trials.
Best I can give ya, don't know much about the Saber class TBH lol. (Used to be able to quote off every spec of both Enterprise D & E though..XD)
Starfleet Design Tech: "Back in the 20th Century, the 'United States' commissioned a close-air-support craft called an ... 'A-10 Warthog'. Basically they designed the entire airframe around a multibarrel rotating cannon. I .. think we can do that here."
So a paris class frigate
This makes me want to pick up Star Trek Online again
The Borg star starts to assembly them and they tell her to run, you're on a small Starship where you going to run, to there's no way to run
And way to make sure they notice her!
The Norway-Class is my bane. I’ve been trying to build a model of it for years, but in order to scale it, it just has to be oh so long with those blasted nacelle things on the aft.
Did you get the Eaglemoss model, too?
It looks so fragile, like it could be accidentally dismembered with a deflector dish or turning too quickly, that might complicate a model too?
"BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS BAD ASS? this Bonsai tree on the Olympic class" ROFLMAO! I fell out. XD
It speaks to Beverly's patience. I mean, it REALLY does. Especially with JL. lol
You say it's silly, but one of my goals in STO has always been to get one of the Olympic class refits.
The Franklin was Freedom-class and could do Warp 4!!?? Pffft... the other Freedom could do Warp 9 with only one nacelle!!
The Franklin class ship that was featured in the star trek film also has serious canon conflicts iirc
