I like how on deck 3 there are quarters at the front of the ship that require whoever uses them to walk down a featureless hallway half the length of the deck. The person in there is the furthest person from anywhere else on the ship, except the escape pods. If you get assigned those quarters, the captain is trying to tell you something.
The external model seems to be not a Nova class but the alternate future version of whatever Harry Kim's ship was (the Rhode Island) in Voyager's Endgame. The nova didn't have that dome above the bridge, and the secondary deflector on the front of the saucer section wasn't filled in, but rather was set back into the forward section with quite a big chunk taken out of the nose of the saucer. The deflector on the front of the saucer is the secondary, not primary. The primary is the bigger one where they usually are on fed ships. Those strips on the ventral of the saucer are phasers, not sensors, and the escape pod hatches on the exterior model are huge and don't line up with the interior locations you've highlighted. Other than that, good job!
I have literally built a dozen version of this ship in minecraft. Full 1 to 1 scale with complete interiors. The ship is a fantastic ship for building in Minecraft. the size is perfect. Compare it to the Enterprise D and E that I also built in full 1 to 1 scale (Can be toured on both Minetrek and TrekCraft servers) the Nova was a breeze. I also enjoyed the Voyager. Building that in comparison to the Nova took twice as long. But Love the Nova. She was one of the first ships I built and I still think about building another. Great little ship.
that sounds awesome! i made a VERY similar ship in a game called Empyrion Galactic Survival (i highly recommend it) its a voxel style, open 'universe' game where you can build Capital ships, small ships, hover vehicles, and bases / star bases (and or combine them to make technically difficult things easier, like turbolifts being small ships inside shafts of a Capital ship), the free-build mode lets you build with impunity, and the symmetry tools let you build federation ships (at least the hull) in half the time. It even has slice away features (by axis) so you can recreate HALFSCREEN deck by deck analysis, or cut the ship in half and enjoy a side video like on the LCARS screen. if you have steam, i highly recommend checking the game out, and checking out the workshop - where some truly amazing star trek content can be found.
Can you do a rough floor plan of the blackbird class that would be brilliant, the nova class and defiant class deck plans may help for easier ideas of a starfleet vessel
I love your mc designs of this beautiful ship. I already built it like 4 times on different mc survival servers, including one where Markiplier and Wade used to play when they had less than 10k subscribers :-D. I also finished outer hull in a game called ECO, which is quite hard do because of detailed and hard crafting/resource management there. If you want, send me your email and I can send you screenshots. Sadly server is wiped now, but it was promised to me to get the map. :)
The Nova class’s angular edges give it an aggressive look. This design seems better suited as an anti-cloak patrol/ scout ship from a fan perspective. I love the look and hate that it was used as a Oberth replacement. It should be a Defiant complement sacrificing arms and armor for highly effective sensors, deployment time and speed.
Thank you for using one of the shots of my ship, USS Twilight, in your video (even if you got the length wrong! She's 221.74 or 222 meters overall, NOT just 165! Rick Sternbach her designer said as much in the Eaglemoss Magazine No. 15.)
The "Rhode Island" version of the Nova Class is probably my favorite ship design (or maybe tied with the Sovereign Class). Simple little ship, but looks more solid than ships with skinny little connections between main and secondary hulls, as well as hulls to nassels.
Once again, another great video As a kid in the mid 90's i absolutely loved the technical manuals, i had the TOS, TNG, and DS9 books, and often used them for inspiration and their design styles to draw up my own deck designs, these videos, though notably higher quality in deck by deck explanations, sure do bring back a nostalgia factor.
Having done 3D modeling and animation for more than a decade, I have to come to appreciate these technical manuals more and more due to the creativity and thought made to each ship. These designers have put a lot time and thought to these schematic.
I ABSOLUTELY love the Nova Class design!!! With upgraded weapons, an active cloaking device, ablative hull armor, and a MUCH more powerful warp engine, I believe that the Nova could have been a Game Changer!!! It's such a beautiful design. It could have been a ship for spying and "Special Forces" infiltration, exfiltration, seek and destroy, and intelligence gathering. I would also put in holographic emitters on every deck, making it easy to fill the crew with holographic personal.
@4:10 you you talk about the main navigational deflector on the secondary hull (engineering section), but your graphic highlights the smaller, secondary deflector array at the front of the primary hull (saucer section)
I'm loving these videos. I always enjoy seeing what's inside the ships, as I've often bought Star Trek technical manuals. I think I may need some more!
A Nova Class Starship also has 11 Type-Xb phaser arrays, and 2 standard forward torpedo tubes, left over from her original design as a warship. We usually fire science probes from the launch tubes (a photon torpedo is just a probe with a warhead attached) but, we were forced to enter combat zones during the Dominion War. Deck 2 of our ship has been turned over to the Medical Department, which gives us the "Advanced Sickbay Advantage" in-game, and is the reason why we were assigned to pick up any survivors in escape pods during the war. Our usual mission profile is First Response for medical disasters, as well as scientific surveys. Our engines have just been upgraded to a "10" which means we can now make Warp 9.6 for 12 hours.
that's a good point, I've noticed on several videos the ships don't exactly match up in size to their models (the defiant being an example, or as you pointed out the Sovereign being only marginally larger then the Nova in this vidoe) however, i think a lot of that has something to do with poor canonical writing and design, and multiple 'official' schematics that contradict each other. that being said, a lot of work goes into making these videos, and i'll gladly take the occasional mistakes over no content at all.
2:29 into the video the size comparison with the Sovereign is off scale. The Nova is depicted way too large here. It appears more like 350 to 400 m in this depiction. 3:53 into the video: these are not the Torpedo launchers. THe front torpedo launchers are actually on the top side of the saucer, right next to the auxillary deflector in the saucer. Just as you show when coming to the interior of Deck 4. Other than that, a really great video. BTW: did I ever tell you, how much I love this kind of videos?
I have to admit, I'm currently working oversea and not really using some of my standard computer equipment, hence why i didn't have enough time to reanalysis my measurement or did enough research during my time traveling, but appreciated further insight.
I don't think it's fair to say that this content is "beneath" them, stuff like this isn't easy to make. I'm perfectly happy to have both channels coexisting in my subscriptions.
@@xkm-thebasetecchannel3823 There’s not much difference between the two concepts. All Aeroshuttles have warp capabilities. Waveriders could be modified with capabilities including warp. Both designs were intended to provide support capabilities to a he parent vessel with enhanced atmospheric endurance.
This is beautiful work! You should be proud of this! To me, the Nova-and_Intrepid Classes made a lot more sense as science/exploration vessels then a Galaxy-and-Nebula classes. More sense in regards for cost of material and construction. I can actually see a few of them working in-tandem, quickly exploring unexplored sectors as small teams. And the ability of a science vessel being able to land on new planets, turning it into land-bound lab, had to be a considerable bonus. (The Intrepid-class was also cool.)
10:47 ahhh, finally, an answer to a question they never actually addressed in voyager That being a ramp… Anytime we see voyager land, we never actually see the process of getting on or off the ship…doesn’t seem right that they would rely on mass transport to get off the ship after landing for example…
So if its max speed is warp 8, compared to Voyager's warp 9.975, then Voyager is 13 times faster. If Voyager then takes 75 years to get home, then the Equinox would take a millennium to do the same, thus making alternate methods and speed-ups literally a requirement for their survival.
Looking at the bridge of the Nova Class looks similar to that of the main bridge of the Defiant Class and I also find it really funny that Starfleet's science vessels are always smaller than other ships take the Nova Class for example I saw this video on the size comparison of Starfleet ships and the Nova Class is so small it looks like a toy compared to the larger Galaxy Class.
@@Halfscreen Actually the NX Class would be bigger than the Nova Class as it was said the NX Class was over 260 meters long while it said that the Nova Class was close to 180 meters in length.
This ship seems more of a replacement for the Oberth Class canoe....err ship. And a far better replacement it is. And although it seems suited for scientific missions, it's fairly straightforward layout seems to hint at a rather capable, and powerful gunboat. Also, it seems to have the potential to replace the Miranda Class as well. A very long and distinguished career as the Federation's "Jeep" or SUV of starships. A workhorse more for work, less for show. Although to its credit, the Nova Class has a pleasing aesthetic. But with considerable advances in Federation Weaponry, it would stand to show that the Nova could very well act as a heavy bruiser alongside the legendary Defiant Class. And with work, the Nova could become its own "Attack" starship complimenting the Defiant's "Fighter Assault" capability. Even a new, cloaked, faster, and more heavily armed Nova. How about the "Sparta" Attack Class Nova? And the first strike team ships would be: USS Rocky Balboa Defiant lead: USS Ivan Drago USS Apollo Creed 2nd Strike Team: USS Muhammed Ali Defiant 2nd Wing: USS Mike Tyson USS Evander Holyfield
Scratched my head when the Nova was placed side-by-side against the Sovereign. Stopped watching when some observation windows were labelled as the Impulse engines. Do your research next time!
The 1701A has 21 decks there is no way the Nova would be that big compared with its 8 decks. The exterior of the Nova is just way off with the size of the windows and the gigantic life pod covers.
Next ship to do: Oberth. So people will have the reference for fanfiction stories happening on that ship. For as fragile as it is, it deserves it's own moment under spotlight, or even as "Hero Ship" of it's own.
The waverider yacht makes literally no sense here, it would have to be on deck 6 to be able to launch but even then there's no obvious shuttlebay doors etc, also speaking of the shuttle parking bay on deck 4 I think it was makes absolutely zero sense as well, these specs seem very, very wrong
For a second I thought at 2:30 the ships were to scale. At 3:56 the ventral sensor array; are you sure it's not pointing at a phaser strip? The video cuts off rather abruptly at the end. It kind of feels like you're trying to rush these videos?
Everything seemed logically laid out right up till the Tractor beam emitter was placed right next to a pair of antimatter containment pods... it seems to be a bad idea to put a high stress system right next to something that stores something as explosive as antimatter.
MY friend, you ointed at the phaser arrays instead of lateral sensors and to the long range sensors instead of the navigational deflector (its in the belly)
Nice work, as always. I'd love to see some detailed looks at ships in Farscape. I'd imagine that detailed info about those ships would be in short supply, but they are amazing, particularly in the 2 part movie.
Ventral sensor array, you're pointing to the ventral phaser strips. "Deflector mounted at the front of the secondary hull" and you're pointing to the bow of the primary hull/"saucer section". Why should we believe you know what you're talking about?
This just a basic layout schematic based on what was given online. Most channel won't got to extend of modeling each deck and I have always feel i did the best I can with what I know. There always a few people that know more than me and its always up to the viewers to decide if the videos is worth watching. I can't know it all since my channel dealt with both SW, ST genres so I have do an educated guess on many occasions even if the information is rather "basic" to some.
I want to like these videos. The graphic presentation is top notch. But. There so many mistakes on systems placement it makes my brain itch... Ventral phasers, primary vs secondary deflector, location of the impulse engines, lateral sensors... Either you are using different references for the graphics and systems or you just aren't doing your research. Either way. You need to have someone proof these before you publish.
It's really purely based on the schematic on the site below. I don't, unfortunately, have anybody else to voluntarily check my work. Limited resources. www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/sd-uss-nova-nx-72228.php
As the nova class is smaller than the intrepid class so there is a blackbird class as small to the nova as it is with an intrepid. But the blackbird is more original enterprise shape and compact as nova class, can you do a review please of a blackbird class vessel or even a captains yacht type vessel. Thanks
Not every one sleeps at the same time. There is a gross waste of space shown on many star trek designs. Space is a precious resource, with many of these are loosely based on submarines.
While the interior look was interesting, the outter hull had alot of inaccurate information. For a start the torpedo launchers were not located under the saucer section rather on each side of the secondary deflector dish. If you disagree go look at the actual model of the nova class and its refit
Unless I'm crazy, I only counted 30-someting beds across all decks. Even if several were bunk beds, I think this ship would struggle to hold it's grew compliment of roughly 85 officers and enlisted. Am I missing something here?
Wait, it's smaller than a constitution class (original or refit) star ship? I didn't think there were star ships, besides the defiant and its sister ships, canonically that small. Maybe the Orberth, but even those *may* have been larger than these.
Wow.. Me sitting here, geeking out of these details, I wonder about the bigger ships, like the Ambassador, Galaxy and Sovereign Classes being broken down to their decks...
These are two different ships. The externals are of the refit version and the internals are of the original. For example, the refit doesn't have a rear hatch for cargo on deck 3. Just FYI.
@@Halfscreen i couldnt imagine how long it would take you to make and complete DS9, granted a LOT of it doesn't show up on the technical details (or the show) but isnt that thing over 1.5KM wide and has 260 decks?
I like how on deck 3 there are quarters at the front of the ship that require whoever uses them to walk down a featureless hallway half the length of the deck.

Also, where the impulse engine should be is a set of windows and instead are on the saucer like on a Sovereign. Odd take.
Deck 5 is also shown as part of the saucer section, when the saucer only contains decks 1-4 (this is shown on the side view earlier in the video).
Yeah seems to be some post dominion war version
Nova refit.
I think the "ventral sensor array" is actually the ventral phaser bank, but other than that great video about one of Starfleet's prettiest ships!
Oh good, someone else caught that as well lol. Yes, other than that, excellent video
3:58 I was just going to mention that. ST sensors don’t work on strips; that’s clearly a phaser strip.

MY friend, you ointed at the phaser arrays instead of lateral sensors and to the long range sensors instead of the navigational deflector (its in the belly)
That’s the Nova class (refit) not the base design. Easily identified by the raised bridge module.
Always loved the Nova class like the federation version of the Klingon BOP
How would you design a dolphin crew focused Star Fleet starship?
These videos are great for scale purposes but... wasn't this a science ship? where are the labs?
80 crew but only 36 beds? Were they hot swapping beds or something?
Why is the Name of the ship „James Burke“ wasn‘t it an Mafia Gangster?🤔
Great video but I feel your side by side comparison made the scale of ship bigger then it is.
Nice work, as always. I'd love to see some detailed looks at ships in Farscape. I'd imagine that detailed info about those ships would be in short supply, but they are amazing, particularly in the 2 part movie.
Noted!
Those escape pod hatches are way too big. They're like 4x the size they should be...
I am just pointing out that there should be 2 holodecks somewhere on deck 3.
Another great video. Thanks. 👍🏻
Will there ever be a video on the California Class?
If so, it would be only a profile views since I don't see a deck to deck comparison.
@@Halfscreen No rush my friend. There doesn't seem to be much info on them. But would be awesome. Have a nice day.
Those pods are exceptionally large. Nova us 221 meters.
the size comparisons arent the best here as the nova is 1/3 the size of the enterprise e, not half.
Love flying this ship in star trek online! Ty for the video dude
I love your videos, particularly your Star Trek ones. Thank you so much!
My pleasure!
The Nova Class: Hey were still larger and nicer than a Defiant.
🥰👊🤝💪✌👋👍🤗
Ventral sensor array, you're pointing to the ventral phaser strips. "Deflector mounted at the front of the secondary hull" and you're pointing to the bow of the primary hull/"saucer section". Why should we believe you know what you're talking about?
This just a basic layout schematic based on what was given online. Most channel won't got to extend of modeling each deck and I have always feel i did the best I can with what I know. There always a few people that know more than me and its always up to the viewers to decide if the videos is worth watching. I can't know it all since my channel dealt with both SW, ST genres so I have do an educated guess on many occasions even if the information is rather "basic" to some.
I want to like these videos. The graphic presentation is top notch. But. There so many mistakes on systems placement it makes my brain itch... Ventral phasers, primary vs secondary deflector, location of the impulse engines, lateral sensors... Either you are using different references for the graphics and systems or you just aren't doing your research. Either way. You need to have someone proof these before you publish.
It's really purely based on the schematic on the site below. I don't, unfortunately, have anybody else to voluntarily check my work. Limited resources.

sci fi space mariwana shows or movies are the most unique genra of shows or movies
Nice graphics. 👍😊
Thanks for the visit
Intrepid class would be the sedan and Nova class would be the coup
great vid are you planing on doing the Prometheus Class?
As the nova class is smaller than the intrepid class so there is a blackbird class as small to the nova as it is with an intrepid. But the blackbird is more original enterprise shape and compact as nova class, can you do a review please of a blackbird class vessel or even a captains yacht type vessel. Thanks
I will look into it.
Nice, but I counted 35 beds on your ship. Memory Alpha states that a Nova class has a crew complement of 78
Not every one sleeps at the same time. There is a gross waste of space shown on many star trek designs. Space is a precious resource, with many of these are loosely based on submarines.
Great work thank yoU
Our pleasure!
While the interior look was interesting, the outter hull had alot of inaccurate information. For a start the torpedo launchers were not located under the saucer section rather on each side of the secondary deflector dish. If you disagree go look at the actual model of the nova class and its refit
3D animations are purely based on the schematic on the description box.
Even Starfleet science ships have powerful weapons systems. They will science you to death if you get hostile. 😂
Can anyone point out where the bathrooms are?
Unless I'm crazy, I only counted 30-someting beds across all decks. Even if several were bunk beds, I think this ship would struggle to hold it's grew compliment of roughly 85 officers and enlisted. Am I missing something here?
Got confused as to where the labs are on the science ship
Can you find any deck plans for the Kobayashi Maru-class Freighter?
Nope.
Level 1, the port rear corner has zero access as drawn
At 3:56 you called the lower phaser array a sensor array.
thank you so much for dping the nova!
Not many science labs for a science ship?
Do you know is there any type of program that would display all the blue prints
I'm not sure.
Wait, it's smaller than a constitution class (original or refit) star ship? I didn't think there were star ships, besides the defiant and its sister ships, canonically that small. Maybe the Orberth, but even those *may* have been larger than these.
Wow.. Me sitting here, geeking out of these details, I wonder about the bigger ships, like the Ambassador, Galaxy and Sovereign Classes being broken down to their decks...
These are two different ships. The externals are of the refit version and the internals are of the original. For example, the refit doesn't have a rear hatch for cargo on deck 3.
Just FYI.
the ventral sensor array was a phaser bank no?
please do a video of deep space 9 and the shield hellicarrier
I will do DS 9 in the month of Nov.
@@Halfscreen i couldnt imagine how long it would take you to make and complete DS9, granted a LOT of it doesn't show up on the technical details (or the show) but isnt that thing over 1.5KM wide and has 260 decks?
I love mathematics key to the universe
