    If this is set after DS9/ Voyager / Nemesis time line, I could see this as defiant spaceframe combining in the new Delta quadrant tech that Voyager brought back.
    Those other blue glows at the back could be dedicated quantum slipstream drives.
    Those other red above and below collectors could be dedicated for the quantum slipstream drive.
    I can definitely see that given the success of the original defiant spaceframe why not make other starships based off that architecture?

    I would like to see you do the USS Star Empire from the 1986 Star Trek novel Dreadnought by Diane Carey. The whole plot from Star Trek Into Darkness was pretty much ripped off from Dreadnought, plot point for plot point. a corrupt Starfleet admiral, worried that the Federation is too weak to take on the likes of the Klingons (specifically) or the Rommulans, teams up with a scientist nemesis from Enterprise's past, builds a super ship to take over the Federation and turn it into an empire with himself as it's head

    This is one of the few fan or cannon ships that is sub-light thrust balanced, so for that I give it a big thumbs up. The Intrepid, Miranda, NX 01, Discovery and many other ships all not thrust balanced at all, just designed to look cool, not fly well. Yes you can say that these ships use the reaction control thrusters to compensate, but who wants to run them all the time, it makes them part of the sub-light drive systems not just reaction controles. The Constitution class, Sovereign class, Defiant class even the Galaxy class are all well thrust balanced ships.
    This is a very nice Defiant variant.

    • @Zorro9129

      It's inefficient and in-universe causes "subspace pollution." It's only superior if you're valuing armor which is why you see them in dedicated warships.

  • @Janoha17
    @Janoha17 4 роки тому

    What I read about this ship puts in in STO's continuity. The Defender was commissioned during the Hur'q crisis, as a response to how larger ships were being frequently torn apart by the Hur'q's swarm tactics and small craft, and the Defiant's forward cannons couldn't reliably hit.

    The Defiant made such an impression on me when it appeared out of no where for the first time in front of DS9 that I personally don't think it can really be improved to make it better. I don't know if Star Fleet would continue evolving this class of ship past the Dominion war since it was such a slap and tickled together ship in the first place for "One Purpose Only" sorry but this is just too Falcony for me. But good video guys! Always fun to explore this stuff!

    It kinda reminds me of the ebon hawk from starwars knights of the old republic and maybe the blue section at the back near the impulse drive are some kind of after burners of soughts that say allow the ship to make a flash in sector jump to warp for emergency purposes or combat a great looking design either way.

  • @PsychoStreak
    @PsychoStreak 6 років тому

    Those new Corellian shipyards are putting out some interesting designs. Glad they finally joined the Federation.

  • @NineWorldsFromDrew
    @NineWorldsFromDrew 6 років тому

    I can imagine the Defender having a smaller crew than the Defiant, and also more of a space-saving "open plan" design to its rooms - so you'd have very few corridors. Just antechambers between main rooms. I would expect Engineering to be as near the front of the main impulse engine as it possibly can be put, but it would also have a crescent design, following the curve of the aft of the ship. Quarters I guess would probably be near the back of the bridge? I imagine to save space, they might also combine the Captain's Quarters with a Ready Room. I also imagine it having two cargo bays / transporter rooms - perhaps also combined as "rescue chambers" for people who have just been rescued from battles - near the front of the warp nacelles.

    Agree with Samuel about the Runabouts. They're *fine", but not exciting enough considering they were the only Starfleet ship presence on the show for the first two seasons. They were like an extended cab shuttle. Wish they could have had a Starfleet equivalent of the Millenium Falcon. Something like the Archer class scout would have been fantastic. Obviously they didn't have the budget to build a full interior, but considering we never saw anything but the cockpit of the Runabout, that apparently wouldn't have been an issue.

  • @Jack_Stafford
    @Jack_Stafford 6 років тому

    I agree with Samuel, that the square red elements on the bottom look like supplementary collectors which is a very nice backup system for a ship that is designed mainly for battle in case they need more capacity or if the main ones get damaged.

    • @Jack_Stafford

  • @raabaddler5802
    @raabaddler5802 6 років тому

    2 ideas here about the warp nacelles
    1) what we are seeing is two Huge warp Coils peeking out as little as necessary from under a boat load of armor
    2) Nested warp fields. Big nacelles creates the primary space contraction, the other two sets contract the space inside the warped field. if this is true you'd probably only be any good at sprint speeds like 9.9995 for 12 parsecs

  • @watchthe1369
    @watchthe1369 4 роки тому

    The nacelles, the wing tips need bent. The blue front arc with the 4 blue and red vents up top and bottom could easily be an integrated slipstream setup. Maybe there would be a group-flotilla of 5-15 of these based at major federation members or at every shipyard as a "Tactical Scramble" team, justifying the slipstream drive. Like some PT boats that are scrambled to discourage an invasion fleet or Borg cube...
    Take the "Nacelle housing segments" and bend them down to get line of sight, then connect the front and back of the main saucer shape over top of them with emitter arcs to indicate they have the utility beam weapons. Alternately build torpedo tubes into the ship instead.

  • @johnsantiago1872

    In Starfleet Battles, Photon Torpedoes require warp drive energy to charge-up. Perhaps those small warp engines are just to supplement the drives just to charge the torpedoes, or as emergency drive.

  • @TorKelRa

  • @paulwalsh2344
    @paulwalsh2344 6 років тому +1

    Looks like a tough little ship. I like it. A couple of notes to improve it though. I think the Engine Intercooler (the forward Warp engine blue bit) should not be split up the way it currently is, but expanded to cover the entire curve of the side, similar to the Galaxy Class' Warp Nacelles and the Warp Grills (the current wrap-around blue bit of the Warp Engine should have been more enclosed like the line of the Galaxy Class' Warp Nacelle. I think the entire Warp Engine could be brought another 10 degrees forward, beginning immediately aft of the Quantum Torp/Targetting Sensor Array (rounded triangular section), just to tighten up the design. And the Deflector Nose section should be more delineated to indicate that it is detachable.
    I like the rounded aft of the USS Defender though. Totally agree that it is reminiscent of the Millennium Falcon. Really love the Impulse Engine design, I would shorten the aft portion of the Matrix Restoration Coil to just 2 blue panes, not the 3 with the interior third pane covered by that portion of the aft hull.
    All in all I can really see this as new adjunct to the armed escort class of the Starfleet fleet. 3D print up a few in the scale of the 2001 Hallmark Keepsake Star Trek Starfleet Legends Defiant and I'll order a few, OK.

  • @shadowvessel
    @shadowvessel 3 роки тому

    Go check out the DS9 Technical manual. The Defiant's impulse engine IS a center engine. The VFX people on the show are the ones who turned escape pod compartments into impulse engines. Probably because they thought it looked cooler since the Defiant had a stealth covered impulse drive. No heat or other residual side effects to be detected
    Just like the torpedoes. They turned targeting sensors into launchers. Originally the nose double barrel launcher was the only forward mount
    It's all about looking a certain way I guess. I'd still love to see the Defiant firing it's pulse phaser cannons with a simultaneous stream of quantum torpedoes down the middle, though 😕

    According to the Defiant schematics in the DS9 Tech manual. The Impulse engines on the Defiant are not the small red lights on the back of the ship. They are across the center of the rear of the ship. Like this one but they are under a baffle. The small red lights are the rear torpedo launchers.

  • @STNuevo
    @STNuevo 6 років тому

    Some ships in the trek universe also have blue, glowing element at the end of the nacelles. I guess these are "highly" integrated warp nacelles. But that does not explain the additional bussard looking (front) and blue glowing pieces (back) below the ship. It would make sence if the middle part of the saucer could be separated but it does'nt look like.

  • @jasondiend4248
    @jasondiend4248 6 років тому

    It looks more like a saucer section. Maybe it could be apart of the notion of multiply ships merged together. Instead of a full saucer sep this portion comes out of the back. Giving any ship the ability to have a battle ship apart of it. More guns more targets. Like the Prometheus class of ships.

    Those four small structures with the blue grill on the back, and red bussards forward must be mini nacelles. They aren't directly lined up below and above, so they are related but not the same structure. I think they are emergency nacelles. Wouldn't it have been simpler to to give this ship the same level of nacelle protection Defiant has? I bet they extend from the main hull before engaging. A pocket BC version of the original pocket BB Defiant?

    • @ScottSchapiro
      @ScottSchapiro 6 років тому

      My guess is that since this design violates the line of sight "rule," perhaps those four structures on the top and bottom help complete the warp field? edit: OK, I posted this before I watched the whole video as this was mentioned around the 16:00 mark.

    Is it flying backwards? I see about 6 places where impulse engines could be, replacing the 'bussards'. Then the impluse grille on the back would be the main deflector. The nacelles need to 'droop' to get that line of sight satisfied. It is missing the usual weapon greebles, so what that load out really is remains a mystery.

    Also looks similar to the new Jupiter 2 design for the Netflix LOS reboot.

    The nose from above reminds me of a Lambda class imperial shuttle.

    I'm not overly in love with the design. But it could be evolutionary.

    If you fly it backwards, it kinda of looks like the primary hull blade of the Galor, if you cut off the tail and the forward blade over the primary disruptor... at least from the top. I do like the design though, it feels more Federation than the Defiant.

    I see no docking ports anywhere. What I do notice is what appears to be shuttle Launcher like NX-01

    With the fist view it looks like it could detach into two smaller ships.

    That center circle on the underbelly that's surrounded by that red circle line, I wonder if that's some kind of port for shuttles..?

    i wonder if those extra bussard collectors could be part of a secondary warp drive to either increase speed or act as a redundant system should the primary go offline. it could also help sustain warp flight should the core be shut down during warp for whatever reason.

    Extra power for shields and weapons. Perhaps type XII Phaser arrays & more powerful phaser cannons. Quantum torpedoes, primary, secondary & tertiary shields plus enhanced ablative armour.

    Just an FYI. Other than gene Roddenberry we also should remember Lucille Ball saved Star Trek when it first came out. Networks didn’t want to produce the show due to cost. Lucille Ball step in and over ruled her board of directors of Desi Lu production. To produced Starr trek. Thanks to her support Star Trek is what it is today

      looks like a ship that, from the front or rear offers a very small target for the opposition, as well as a small area to have to protect with shields, allowing forward and rear shield grids to be very compact and thus more efficient.
