    I love the fact that the newer classes (Sov, Akira, Steamrunner and Prometheus) returned to that blue circular deflector dish look (yellow in the sovvy's case).
    I really prefer the 360degree look over the galaxy and intrepid' oval/eye-shape look...

    My favorite ship as well.Add a Phase Cloaking Device (ST-TNG-The Peguses)and this would be a perfect ship for the secretive Section 31,Starfleet's version of the MI-5,KGB or CIA.To be honest I hope the rumors are true about CBS's new Star Trek series having different crews during different time periods each season,,I would love for one of those to be about a Section 31 crew. And IMO the perfect actor to play the role of a section 31 Captain would be Ashraf Barhom.(Jamal Al-Fayeed from Tyrant)

    Another excellent run through with Capt. Foley, and Cmdr. Cockings (or is it Coggins? I can't quite tell which because they sound quite similar). I love these videos, you guys do such a great job profiling these ships, and providing us with their back-stories. Its also really awesome that you've been able to have some of the designers on. Love your channel, you guys make great content! Thanks for putting all this together!

  • @SkyCharger001
    @SkyCharger001 6 років тому

    registry difference: I always figured that the MVAM caused some navigational hiccups* during development, which they solved by giving two of the three components unique registry-numbers for post-separation use. (if true, Prometheus would be unique in having a non-sequential range of associated registry numbers, as the production vessels would receive all three at the same time)
    *EG: NCC 1701 E is called for back-up but cannot tell the (already separated) components apart and averages their telemetry into a single vessel to potentially dangerous results

  • @InventorZahran
    @InventorZahran 7 років тому +1

    When a newly-commissioned starship inherits an existing name, it also inherits the registry number associated with the ship that previously carried that name. (For example, when the Enterprise-A, NCC-1701, is de-commissioned, its replacement, the Enterprise-B, uses the same registry number as its predecessor.) However, there are some exceptions to this protocol, usually when the newly commissioned starship is of an experimental design, or because of a non-canonical reason (designer's preference or something similar).

    • @donaldhill3823
      @donaldhill3823 7 років тому +1

      Only certain ship names carrier over the registry number. A ship has to stand out to have its registry number be continued. Standard practice when reusing a ship name is to give it a new registry number.

    9:20 You don’t want to initiate First Contact with a species with a warship.* I also believe that as time progresses Starfleet crews will be more required for the ship’s maintenance than anything else.
    13:10 OR it was used to act as a cover for the new threat of the Dominion due to its HIGHLY classified nature. That is my favourite theory, at least.
    *Let's draw a comparison with UA-cam's automated copyright system and a video being a new species and having it consider whether or not it falls under fair use (whether its intent is hostile or not).

  • @Acrosurge
    @Acrosurge 7 років тому

    Regarding top speed, after its pre-Nemesis retrofit, wasn't the Enterprise E capable of Warp 9.995? This was the latest data posted in the Starship Spotter, which pushes it above the Prometheus in speed, unless that class received similar upgrades.

  • @greydeathangel
    @greydeathangel 7 років тому

    Wow just found your channel, and I like hearing about ships. About the Prometheus class I love the design, but personally I don't like the multi vector mode. What would a Prometheus class that had the ascetics of the class but no separation functions. How would you guys think a none separation version be equipped, support craft, etc....keep up the great videos.

  • @Kiyosuki
    @Kiyosuki 8 років тому

    I was really neutral with this design when it first came out because it's so pointed that it's almost not a ST Fed ship, although the multi vector attack feature was a really cool feature (and sensible, separating ships just seems like too potentially great an advantage to not take advantage of if they have to make a more combat orientated vessel.), but over time it's kind of grown on me a lot. The engines and wings attached to a flat, pointy centrifuge look that it roughly is when complete is such a traditional space-ship design overall, like it came out of a classic space shooter video game like Galaga or something, is kind of part of its charm to me.

    In STO you can have the Prometheus class without multi-vector system. Maybe, just in theory it is more easy and less costly to build version that implement all those high tech in to single solid hull?

    • @808INFantry11X
      @808INFantry11X 4 роки тому

      Well I dont think this ship was designed to be the most common form of ship to begin with just like the Sovereign class I would assume. These classes are like the cream of the crop classes of their time and type so they would be special purpose deployments.

    Just because the ship is a prototype/experimental does not mean any fighters it have would be too. That's like saying because it's a new design everything about it is new and not one aspect of it uses technology or equipment current in use by Starfleet or other vessels.

  • @HotaruZoku
    @HotaruZoku 7 років тому +1

    18 independently operating phaser strips? So it can hit 18 different targets at once, presuming it were surrounded?
    Being only a young, proto-Trek Nerd, I have to ask, what's the difference between "18 Phaser STRIPS" and the "10 Phaser BANKS" on a Galaxy class ship? The number of targets that can be engaged vs...the power or duration of the phaser blasts themselves?

    • @Jack_Stafford
      @Jack_Stafford 7 років тому

      HotaruZoku I can say that phaser banks and phaser strips are interchangeable in the Next Generation era. As far as firing all phasers at precisely the same time would require an awful lot of power generation and probably would not be practical.
      But you surely could rotate your firing sequence and alternate between the strips to keep locked onto a moving target and shoot several phaser shots simultaneously if attacking more than one adversary or to concentrate a large amount of firepower on a weak point of an enemy.
      But not all 18 at once. :)

    Trying to figure out the logic behind the Star Fleet registry is right up there with figuring out how the Republicans choose their presidential candidates.. The Defiant NX-74205 and then later NCC-75633 should have been NCC-1764 - A, B, C of bloody D... Oh well just add it up to all the other inconsistencies we all know and love.

    • @red2001ss
      @red2001ss 8 років тому +2

      The Enterprise was "special" to Starfleet, that's why she carried on with the Alpha numeric after the registry. The US Navy today does not do that. The carriers Enterprise, of which so far have been 2 are CV-6 and then CVN-65. The next Enterprise will be CVN-80. Just think, they were going to decom the Enterprise in STIII before Kirk stole it, possibly would have been scrapped or became a museum item. In any case, the next Enterprise probably wouldn't have been 1701. The Enterprise that became Enterprise 1701-B was probably going to be the next Enterprise anyway and maybe would have had a different number. I think NCC-2701, would have been cool. Enterprise 1701-A was a different ship that was renamed for Kirk himself and only was a commissioned ship for 7 years as Enterprise ((2286-2293). Since they honorarily assigned this Enterprise with NCC-1701-A, it just stuck as an Honor to the Enterprise, and that the name represents the Flagship of the Federation.

  • @biostemm
    @biostemm 8 років тому

    Why not just make 3 "normal" ships and have them fly as a wing? All the additional mass required to have the ships couple and decouple, not to mention having to compromise an ideal design so they can fit together, would make the ship less effective than 3 separate vessels.

    • @kidsachamp
      @kidsachamp 8 років тому

      i mostly agree with you but one advantage of combining is that you significantly decrease the surface are that the shields need to protect allowing for a denser shield. the second advantage i can think of is that for some reason small ships in star trek tend to be slower at warp speeds than large ones

    • @biostemm
      @biostemm 8 років тому

      kidsachamp
      Well, we know that ships can extend their shield bubble around nearby ships, and given the computing power demonstrated, there's no reason the ships couldn't simply dock with one another or fly in tight formation, to present a smaller target. As for warp, remember that Voyager was faster than the Enterprise-D, so size isn't the only determining factor.

    • @kidsachamp
      @kidsachamp 8 років тому

      extremely close formation flying would be extremely dangerous and for speed the intrepid and the Prometheus are both similar in size. the sabre class with a crew of 60 would be a better model to be one of the 3 small ships it has a speed of warp 9.7 or about 2/3 the speed of the Prometheus

    • @christopherschmidt3451
      @christopherschmidt3451 7 років тому

      biostemm because it is more expensive to build three ships than building a ship that only need one crew and can still give the fightpower of three ships

    • @biostemm
      @biostemm 7 років тому

      So it's more expensive to, say, build 3 ships of the same model, than to build 1 ship that breaks up into 3 sub-ships that can combine, yet still operate independently? I'm sorry, I don't buy it.

It’s like he’s on helium & way too much caffeine. Dude, your voice is hurried, muddled, & we can’t quite understand what you say. It’s s challenge to even try to recognize your speech patterns. Take a deep breath, pause, relax, & talk in a more easygoing & relaxed manner. If you can’t do that, be quiet, find someone else to host your part of the show here. Your hyperactive way of talking gets on my nerves, & it gets real old, real fast.

    What i dont get is, romulans in fed space takes over ship and kills crew, thats a act of war right?, for a tactical war ship, its design is poor its not funny, i think rick made a good looking ship, i think starfleet would have made something different, bit more like the defiant.

      Thats totally different from this lol, this is not real life, feds were attacked.

      it's a classified ship. starting a war would expose the existence of it to the whole federation. people would question why there is such a secret thing. don't like stuff like that in star trek anyway. reminds me of todays world.

      Makes no sense, then the feds are the worst at keeping a secret, it got nicked by the roms lol, gg starfleet.

      That's the Fed's weakness. The Romulans are always doing things like this but the Feds will never declare war against them. They're too goodie goodie. :)

      The Federation was busy with dealing with the Dominion and they were still losing WITH the Klingons’ help. (They even mention it in the episode.) They could ill-afford to fight a war on two fronts.
      EMH: I'm afraid you don't have that luxury. There are two ships at stake here, yours and mine. Now, I need to know more about what's happening. Is the Federation at war with the Romulans?
      EMH2: No. The Romulans haven't gotten involved in our fight with the Dominion.

      Well I disagree with you on it being ugly, I think it looks very appealing.

    The most ridiculous class ever designed. This thing looks more like a transformers toy than a star trek ship.
