@johnmeneses7039 I don't get why they use it. I used a free website the other day that scanned a revision guide page and turned it into a 20 minute podcast with 2 people. When that's available why do people use this robotic garbage
There is no declared reason WHY the technology should take that direction. Given how war torn and "wild west" the galaxy became in the wake of the Federation's Fall, Ships with floating sections, something too extravagant, too delicate, too needlessly complex (for what are really military ships), just would not happen. For civilizations that have persisted for MANY millennia with uninterrupted periods of peace and innovation, this may be possible. But not one clinging to existence in and even less friendly neighborhood than in the 24th Century.
As far as I know when Gene Roddenberry designed the first Enterprise he thought of something that would look great but would also be practical: an even number of Nacelles (a rule which the alternate timeline Enterprise-D broke) creating the warp bubble, the saucer section with crew quarters and the bridge and the engineering section with the deflector dish in the front to push away dangerous objects With that in mind, what is the reason for detached parts of the ship? What ar the benefits of it? You need a force field or tractor beam or something similar to hold it close to the main hull, and in the case of a power outage have fun collecting your ship parts and reassemble them when you get the power back on A design doesn't have to be close realism like those RDA ships from the avatar movies but at least some thought behind it. Just because something is possible doesn't always mean it's a good idea
Some factions of mine have their parts linked through quantum entanglement. But the detatched hull is only generally used *for* cheap ships, though. Mass produced high-volume ship to minimize material usage. But they end up having a lot less of the wierd curviness. They're *basically* just whatever module you want-cargo, transport, etcetra-with engine nacelles (Or one) (Torodial lorenz engines) added on-which contain all the equipment except for a small generator in the main hull.
@@AenVegraparts linked through quantum entanglement would not be linked in that way. Motion is not a state of matter which is how that theory works. I swear to God people need to stop just taking scientific words that SOUND cool and slap them on things that don't work. Now, it could be used to transfer POWER from one location to another as being charged is a state of matter, heat dissipation or data transfer as those are states of matter, but motion is not a state of matter. And then let's also just take into account if that was how that worked. Those 2 objects are different shapes, so turning would be those objects PIVOTING on the parts that are quantum entangled. So turning left would cause your nacelle to crash into your saucer. Turning up would cause your ship to be going through space with the nacelles and saucer both turned at the same angle. The theory itself disproves that the tech could EVER work like you idiots think even if we accept your premise. Not to mention a TINY fraction of a millisecond variation in any part of your ship dropping out of warp and your literally ending up weeks of sublight impulse power away from the other parts of your ship stranding you in deep space with no means of interstellar propulsion. Please come up with theories that would at least work if we accept the premise they are based on.
@@dillionedmonds5736 No need to be such a stuck up little asshole to the guy, he writes sci fi he got a theory wrong big deal, scifi does = fiction. Plus would it hurt to have said, you have misunderstood the theory of quantum entanglement and said this is how it works in the real world. But nope, you just had to go on out there and be the asshole. Was it needed to call them a idiot? I am sure that attitude does you great on reddit.
The _original_ 1975 Star Trek Technical Manual by Franz Joseph "violated" the "rule" (which didn't exist back then!) with the Federation-class dreadnaughts ("au" not "ou"!), Saladin-class destroyers, and Hermes-class scouts. As the arbiter of All Things Trek, the Great Bird approved it back then. He would have had to. Even when he didn't demand it, or be owed it, he was respected enough to always be consulted at least. The Sith Rule of Nacelles (always two, there must be) didn't come into existence (along with "warp cores", that's a whole separate rant) until the 1990's. It was a strategic move by The Great Bird to protect his Intellectual Property against the tangential versions that had sprung up while Trek was "abandonware", such as Star Fleet Battles, which fairly routinely used single and three nacelles. Even the four-nacelle ships of that setting splits them three ways (one Left Warp, one Right Warp, two Center Warp). Love the man, but he could be a ruthless bastard at times, when it came down to business, and he knew his business.
well this does make a little sense their energy generation was off the scale but they were material short so having detached nacelles that retracted onto the outer hull of the ship for warp makes sense for a materal saving stand point, and being able to move the nacelles for aditional cargo holds would allow a wider mission profile for all ships durring their hard pressed days
Interesting, as none of the designs from the older shows are efficient, either; they rightly focus on the visual language of television and movie to communicate to the audience
So the only design that fully meets your standards are the borg cubes, then? Because every other ship is full of hollow space, for one reason or another. Every Trek ship ever.
@antaresmaelstrom5365 boo hoo. Maybe there's a reason for it. There's certainly a reason the Discovery's saucer is the way it is (spore drive). It could be enhanced maneuvering, structural integrity, or a more flexible design since programmable matter is a thing. And all in all it makes them visually distinct, a new ship formula that doesn't stray incredibly far from the designs of centuries past. The fact that people are taking issue NOW is wild. These designs are the furthest in the future that any Trek show has ever taken place in, and it would be completely in their right to make the designs unrecognizable in comparison to their ancient counterparts. They didn't. Which is an awesome homage. They did as much as they could without ruining the appeal. I'm not strawmanning. This is Sci-Fi. They would come up with any reason under the sun and make it make sense. Automatically assuming there is zero reason for it because you don't like the design change is silly. Maybe they'll explain it maybe they won't. This has always been the case with the franchise.
@@iROMine Agree to disagree then. I see no reason to get into a continued back and forth on what are taste differences based on differing interpretations of in-universe rules/applications.
USS Voyager = bottle opener. USS Le Session = frog. USS Drelhos = giant magnet. USS Cury = flying dorito. USS Credence = 'just throw everything on it'. USS Anan = toilet seat. USS Zuar = flying toilet. USS Fant = pizza cutter. USS Nog = giant phaser pistol. USS Armstrong = 'let leave essential components (warp coils) exposed to space'. USS Maathai = rebuilt space jellyfish based on Farpoint Station. USS Federation = 'just let the elves build it'.
@@theonlyjacknicole perfect answer I would have figured the transporters would have made it unrealistic but some people can never be happy At one point everything was novel and new; change isn’t always easy or seamless. I work in a field that is an Innovator and i guess I have a unique persepctive on change and newness
They "stole" many things from other movies or series like jupiter ascending or dr. who. The ship design with flying parts like the warp nacelles, rooms inside bigger than outside etc
The reason is the federation is a stitched together organization with what ever ships it could get, post burn. They aren't flushed with resources and members like they used to be.
Because in the 30th+ century we’re still using 23rd-24th century design language with a fleet that spreads across hundreds of species? It would Make zero sense that it wouldn’t evolve over time.
I agree that the design doesn’t make a lot of sense, sure it might look futuristic, but it’s not very practical, plus it looks more alien than star fleet, I’m assuming that it is using some kind of tractor beam technology, but what happens if the ship looses power in that area, how is it then going to be functional, there is a reason why the engines are attached to the main ship, and not just floating separately from it.
They probably did it to make them look cool. A possible Canon explanation I prefer, is that those sections are actually there but displaced in subspace either for shielding purposes or for scanning technology reasons. It's also why the Nacelles are not connected, they are just through subspace.
@@79visual I'd prefer to think that the hollowed out space is for a modular section to be placed inside. Then the ship can take on new profiles and different assignments. Otherwise it's just trying to be cool without considering function as part of it's form. Transporting everywhere just because they can is a daft idea as seen in STD when a perfectly good set of legs to move around are adequate one minute... And then they transport the next because the writing staff can't write a scene transition. The Discovery itself probably has the least amount of screen time of all ships because they don't do flyby transitions from one character scene to another.
The only way these detached strcutres make the sligthest sense would be if they are all slices of a higher dimensional structure. If these ships are actually build in multiple dimensions and so the various parts are actually part of a seamless whole you just normally can't see.
Or they exist is some sort of phased space or in subspace itself. Can't see why they have them detached when they have programmable matter that can alter it's structure easy.
@@thanqualthehighseer As much as I remember they merge back together when they need to go in warp speed. Detachment is just a way for safety and security.
I feel like the floating necells are really pushing it for believability, also not very pleasing to the eye. The upgraded voyager with the future shielding seemed like an exciting evolution of star fleet, I recommend going with that direction
These designs do not excite me. The detached warp nacelles didn't make sense during an attack they can be independently targeted. Then there's one ship with no neck not attached to the body at all. Not feeling the designs at all. 😕
They could be independently targeted even if they were attached. Targeting subsections of a ship has been a thing since TNG. I think the lack of VERY THIN neck and pylons means there's less vulnerable things for the enemy to shoot.
Star Trek used to have the best looking ships with practical and grounded type design. Even that it was Sci-Fi it still felt like it could exist in the real world. The "new" Star Trek has ruined the sleek and elegant designs of some of the best looking ships within the Sci-Fi scene. From the Iconic Enterprise Refit design, the Excelsior and the Sovereign Class ties together a design that still stands the test of time. The new ships just look like something I drew up when I was in middle school without any soul or thought put into it.
Come on dude, 700 years between tng and discovery thsts a long time and for the time between these two eras the fact they kept it as close as they did I think is a tribute to original designs
@@Peaceforall20111 Kurtzman didnt even GET or evemn understood the emaning of Star Trek and designv of Star Trek, he didnt even get anyonme who had ANY knowledge in Star trek to make Discovery. He hired a whole buncha people who knew jack SHIT about Star Trek when Discovery was first aired.
StarTrek was a great science fiction story. These ships come from a perversion of Startrek that deliberately ignores all the rules, tropes, intent and spirit of its creators (as almost all modern re-imaginings do).
What happens to the detached parts when the power goes out. And the power goes out often in the trek universe. The power that runs the fields holding the detached parts in place goes out, what then?
A clever writer/world-builder/science advisor would do this: When the power goes out and all the back-ups fail too, not everything immediately ceases to work. Why not? Well, because the systems are still all "charged up". They are able to adequately function for several more hours, if not even days in some instances, even after the main power source has been completely cut off. Just imagine it working like your phone, in a way. You re-charge it and then unplug it (meaning that you're "cutting off" its power source), but the device nonetheless keeps on working for an entire day.... or somewhat less.... or somewhat longer . . . . At least this is how it should work. The thing is that many writers would likely hate this, like they've, for example, despised the shows' Replicators and Transporters for decades, because it is prone to kill a LOT of means for potential dramatic situations.
Also the power going out was usually due to people messing about with experimental tech or unknown space. on whatever was called enterprise at the time. Maybe they found a captain who forced engineering to stick to the manual and didn't take a lone ship into strange places
"Captain, that last hit took out the power on decks six through 9!" "The nacelles?" "They're about 6000km away by now..." "Okay guess we're done, signal our surrender."
Sorry but I don't understand the "iconic" part. These were just a random designs that showed up in discovery (a very bad treck compared to the old ones) and have to bacground of history in start trek lore, they don't look good either.
There was also a reason why the Warp Nacelles were so exposed in the past, as they emitted Radiation that could not be easily compensated, which is why they were placed on pylons far away from the hull, which, however, brought with it a major Problem, they represented a tempting Target for any Attacker, as simply destroying or even JUST damaging the Warp Nacelles could render a ship incapable of Warp! A Problem that seemed to be solved with the release of the Defiant-Class, so instead of shoving this important piece of Equipment in the Enemy's Face, Warp Nacelles should actually have disappeared completely into the Hull!
As a sci-fi writer, there's a race that uses detatched 'drive sections'. The drive sections are more like slightly more permanent tugboats, turning a modular habitation module into a spaceship-having entirely engineering sections/systems/FTL/sheilds/etc, except for one Primary Control Chamber. The main control comes from the hab module it's using. They also have monohull designs-which are used for High-Performance use. This is less material efficient and less versatile... however, it is higher efficiency for things such as, i dunno, *military use* and things of that nature.
A few thoughts... 1)I just can't keep wondering where the Angelou Class ship has its warp nacelles. 2) I can imagine the 32nd Century Enterprise belonging to the Constitution/ Kirk Class. 3) The U.S.S Credence has six nacelles? Does that mean it has 3 warp cores? 4) The U.S.S Nog and U.S.S Jubayr are the most alien-looking Federation ships. 5) Most of them are gigantic in size dwarfing the Galaxy Class quite easily. 6) Never thought the Starfleet Headquarters was actually a starship able to convert to a space station. Cool! Plus, you forgot the U.S.S. Andares.
1. Probably underneath it like the Mayflower or Miranda so we cant see them from that camera angle 2. Yes 3. The Constellation had four nacelles and one warp core, so why would that be needed 4. YES! I love that federation ships are actually being designed by people who aren't humans 5. Yup 6. That reveal was one of the coolest scenes of the show.
Ultra future Federation starship design might not even need a warp nacelles. Nobody ever thought of that? It's like giving modern Battlecruisers triple cannon turrets.
@joeldelica8706 Warp nacelles has been considered as mini types due to advancing Warp core and secondary transmitter, moreover, battlecruisers consoles requires connon, phaser, laser beam, and torpedo, as main weaponary devices to heavy vessel carrier networks.
@@linz8291 Ah, i see. Still, at some point in the future. The warp nacelles will be abandoned for a more advance system. And the saucer hull, engineering hull and warp nacelles will either change or completely disappear. Michael Okuda talked briefly about that in the old USS Enterprise D Technical Manual.
I always imagined future Star Trek Ships like the USS Relativity which didn't have visible nacelles anymore and the design was almost organic. I admit I'm sad we didn't see something in that direction or the 31st Century Ships from Star Trek Online
Its interesting to see detached nacelles. I wonder how the technology was developed considering these ships are all capable of faster-than-light speeds
These designs are catching up with modern concepts in science fiction whereas Star Trek has been adherent to 60s and 70s design for decades. I’m a fan. The tribute to classic Trek design is there. The 32nd century technology is imagined here as allowing designers to bring concept art into the physical world. The modules held in place by fields and the primary shapes are reminiscent of Iain M Banks Culture universe.
Actually, in the ST universe, dilithium was inert to antimatter when its lattice structure was saturated with the EM field in the M/AM reaction chamber. A tech that would make it reactive in spite of the field would destroy the reactor.
The idea that the interconnecting "neck" and nacelle pylons being done away with is nothing new. I did a similar thing with 1701-A 20 some odd years ago in a series of drawings, then for proof of concept I took a model kit and painted the neck and wings a matte black just to see how she'd photograph. She was awesome!
The only sensible reason for the floating parts is for better modularity. Meaning, you could swap out parts of a vessel with ease, or you could separate a vessel depending upon the mission parameters. Personally, I would have these vessels still be one, connected ship just for aesthetics reason. Regardless of my criticism, there are a few gems. My personal favorite is the USS Credence, USS Annan, USS Thant and USS Armstrong. Interesting designs, but, again, I wish that the parts of some of these ships were connected to their respective hulls.
Why does the uss credence have 6 nacelles? Surely after u add to many it becomes redundant bcus even the voyager has 2 nacelles and goes like 9.99 warp no?
I don't get all the hate against these designs. I actually like the super futuristic and out of this world designs on these. Its like people nowadays don't like change and want to only have the things they liked when they were young or something.
The Alcubierre-class starship has no warp nacelles what-so-ever. Instead it uses a temporal control device that funnels and controls the flow of chronons. As speed is distance over time, by altering the flow of chronons (time particles), the time necessary to travel a particular distance can be modified. Thus, traveling a certain distance would take exactly as much time as you desire. 10 lightyears would take only as long as you want it to take versus some small fraction of a year. This is up to and including 0 time at all. The Alcubierre-class can also be configured in any number of ways as it no longer requires accounting for inertia. The Alcubierre, the ship for which the class is named, is shaped like cigar. It is cylindrical along its central axis and rounded at both ends. It does not have obvious torpedo tubes or phaser banks. The Alcubierre has transphasic transporters which operate slightly out of phase with reality. This allows them to bypass shields of nearly any configuration. In order to maximize efficiency, the Alcubierre has a decentralized command deck with command areas near each major system and function. This design was borrowed from the Borg and has proven important to the Alcubierre's record of never being damaged in battle beyond reason. Primary weapons on the Alcubierre consist of traditional phasers banks routed through the transphasic transporters. This puts the weapons fire directly on the target area. Secondary weapons are transphasic photon torpedos and transphasic quantum torpedos. Utilizing the transphasic transporters, the phasers beams and torpedos are directly placed on and in, respectively, the target of attack. This allows weapons fire to completely circumvent nearly any shielding technology. Even adaptability such as the Borg have is rendered nearly useless. Boarding parties can also be placed directly on board a target ship or station. Transphasic shielding also negates the need for a deflector array which opens up more space inside the ship for other functions. AS the USS Alcubierre can manipulate time particles, it has a sort of timeless quality to it. Many observers have stated that upon seeing the Alcubierre, they find themselves calmed and comforted by its form. No one has yet to figure out what specifically it is about the Alcubierre that makes it so satisfying.
im with you on that, you can tell these are federation ships, but evolved. it makes sense that they look a bit alien to us because its over a thousand years into the future. For example, to the vikings a thousand years ago, our ships now might look really alien to them, why can't it be the same for us, but in the future.
Matt Jeffries' core concept for the Enterprise was something that you couldn't build out of modern materials. The nacelles are intentionally spindly for that reason. He probably would have done exactly this had he been able to.
I personally don't consider Star Dreck: STD canon...It was DemoNUT Dreck created by persons who didn't know jack about ST! Same type of persons that Ruined SW, Dr.Who, LOTRs, etc...Most of these cut and paste ships had very little to do with the iconic ST TOS, TMP, TWOK, UDC, or the TNG era....

Why do most of them look like just incomplete CGI illustrations like Voyager-J, or just an object in the real world like USS Maathai which looks like a jello salad dish, USS Federation looks like a toilet brush cleaner, at least the USS Nog looks like a type 2 phaser pistol. They even took designs from other franchises USS Anan looks like an Ori Warships, USS Zuar looks like the Valor-Class from Star Wars the Old Republic, USS Fant looks like the energy sword from Halo, USS Drelhos looks like an energy weapon from another franchise trying to remember.
From what I recall from the one time I watched it - they crystals that’s used for Slipstream drive are extremely rare , 🤷🏼♂️ ( discovery writers ) even though in the 24th/25th century ~2380-2415 ( including Star Trek online all ships have a slipstream burst drive for 30 minutes (150 LY) with a cooldown of 12 hours ) up to maximum 2 hours (600 lightyears ) cooldown of 2-3 days .
@@lasarith2 Star Trek Online (STO) is a mere 'Beta Canon', which basically means "not a canon". A definition of Star Trek IP's Beta Canon is, "all officially licensed NON-canonical works". So at the end of the day, STO does not matter at all. Otherwise, the thing about the "crystals" being "rare" does not come from "discovery writers", as you've stated above. In-universe, Slipstream Drive is being regulated mostly (but not exclusively) by Benamite crystals which are the best known means for this kind of a job, are naturally occurring, but unfortunately very rare. Even rarer than Dilithium. On top of that, Benamite is extremely difficult to synthesize (Dilithium cannot be synthesized nor replicated at all); in the late 24th century, the UFP's available technology needed north of one year to synthesize one crystal thereof. All of this was established on ST: VOY in the late 1990s where the given Drive was first introduced. This only shows that DIS writers do know and do follow ST's Alpha Canon and continuity. Well, at least sometimes.
@@subraxas quote from Trekyards when asked , - Booker states that the ( crystals) are extremely rare and he can’t get any - as to why he isn’t using them for slipstream drive , or any other starship for that matter Series 3 discovery, also they are using a form of slipstream in Prodigy with the Protowarp drive and the Voyager A is equipped with a basic form of it , - so we’re both right and wrong .
These comments prove that nobody hates Star Trek more than Star Trek fans. You guys really want every trek ship to look like a toy from the 60's and have the franchise never evolve past space twilight zone. There is nothing wrong with all of the original Treks, they are incredible, but not everything new is bad.
I can’t say enough how much I hate the “detached” design. When the inevitable power loss comes you have to call “Quarks Nacelle Retrieval Service” to collect the parts of your ship that are strewn across a few dozen parsecs. I heard he has a special Federation frequent customer discount.
what i hate more then the federation couldnt move on. is giveing the dilithium cristalls magical powers and a crying child being responsibal for the burn. Like the wrighters trying to insult my Intellegent.
Why the detached nacelles? They wouldn't function at all. The entire quantum entanglement bs that people try to use to claim pushing 1 atom entangled with another atom would push both is so incredibly false that its incredible ANYONE would believe it. That theory states that quantum entanglement makes both atoms share a state, a state is not motion. So moving one wouldn't have ANY effect on another. It would mean that if you heat 1 of them up the other would be heated as that is a change in state, or if you damage 1, the other would recieve the same damage, or you could transfer power that way as electrifying one would electrify the other, but drawing power from either would cause the power to drop in both. The only way detached warp nacelles would POSSIBLY work would be tractor beam tech, but that would also create a massive structural problem with sheering forces and navigation as the nacelles would rotate at a different speed than the rest of the ship. Just please stop with this junk fraudulent science crap...
Since when do starship classes have subclasses? The original Voyager was Intrepid Class ship, Voyager J is Janeway Class ship, which isn't a subclass of the Intrepid. It never had a subclass to begin with. No ship had such a thing.
I disagree with everyone in the comments. While I detest Discovery, I love the starships designs from the future. People don’t seem to appreciate how long 1,200 years is. The idea of detached Nacelles is COMPLETELY BELIEVABLE. If anything I’m upset that Starfleet is still using warp or even dilithium. According to lore eventually the Romulan Republic would have joined the Federation and brought the quantum singularity tech with them. That should have eliminated the need for dilithium altogether, and a millennium should have been enough time to figure out how to shut down such singularities without any problems. It’s also more than enough time to replace warp drive itself with trans warp or stable integrated slipstream. I would have also love to have seen ships with no nacelles or slipstream tech integrated into the hull “skin” of the ship itself with hyper efficient drives. Or you could eliminate the two nacelles rule with high technology and had three nacelles if you must have them. Transporters should be reliable enough by now to replace ultra long turbo lift tech with door arch transporters.
Actually, when onland countries has united as one united federation of planet in late 31st century, sol local troops and membership extroplanets' starfleets has reformed their ship series towards universal standard civilization. But to excellent starfleet members and galactic council membership extroplanets, to enhance sol council and local troops safety and diplomatic relationships are common sense to space force.
I really tried to be open minded about the new Discovery starships but they are just to alien for me to even have a model of one next to my Intrepid and Galaxy class. Even Discovery itself doesn't fit in the generation class of starships. This is all alternate universe stuff from the evil mind of Alex Mandark Kurtzman.
People keep on forgetting about this all the time. Bryan Fuller was the original creative mastermind behind the Discoverse's disparate aesthetics. He used to share the showrunning responsibilities with Kurtzman, but Kurtzman was there primarily for the logistics and business sides. Fuller was the one predominantly responsible for the Spore Drive stuff, Burnham's being Spock's stepsister, the 'Kelvinverse-like' cinematography, the new visage of Klingons and virtually of everything else, and so on, and so forth. If you've watched the first season of the show, then you will probably remember that once the USS Discovery returned from the Mirror Universe, the whole Klingon-UFP War wrapped up somewhat abruptly and unsatisfactorily. Well, this was caused by Fuller's getting fired by the studio's execs partway through the given season's production due to his, once again, inappropriate behaviour. This was a huge complication for the creative team, because the rest of the season's storylines was only roughly outlined and final scripts weren't ready yet. Hence they had to hastily cobble something together in order to finish it all off on schedule. And yes, Fuller, of course, had absolutely nothing to do with (not only) the third season of DIS and the ships discussed above, but the overall 'design language' of the so-called "Discoverse" had been firmly established by him nevertheless.
I like some and don't like others. I appreciate what ST: DSC was trying to do. There are characters I really liked such as: Suru, Lorka, Reno, Detmer, Dr. Culber, Georgiou, their version of Spock & Pike etc., etc. And for all of you who didn't like the show remember the "it doesn't feel like Star Trek" was also said about ST: TNG first three seasons before some people came around. I liked ST: DSC because it pushed ST further and no matter what some fans say, it gave us ST: SNW. And for those of you who were around, by the end of ST: ENT people were tired of Star Trek. I know the show had it's fans (I also liked it), it's ratings were way down and the studio could not save it. I'm happy to see any ST because like Leonard Nimoy once said "Open your mind! Be a Star Trek fan and open your mind and say. Where does ST want to take me now". Love it! Take care.
Finally someone in the comment section who doesnt complain about how "this is what happens when you let DEI hires design your starships", thank you very much good sir
So I never watched Discovery cause I kept hearing bad things about it. What the hell are these ship designs? I get that there are supposed to be 32nd century so potentially way more advanced, but how do floating pieces of ships even make sense? Why would you ever do that? What if you needed to get to those parts of the ships for repairs? I realize most of those were just nacelles, but a few of them had the saucer/ stardrive sections just not touching? Like why would you do that?
Take a shot every time they mention the discovery being displaced in time.

@@AenVegraparts linked through quantum entanglement would not be linked in that way. Motion is not a state of matter which is how that theory works. I swear to God people need to stop just taking scientific words that SOUND cool and slap them on things that don't work.
Now, it could be used to transfer POWER from one location to another as being charged is a state of matter, heat dissipation or data transfer as those are states of matter, but motion is not a state of matter.
And then let's also just take into account if that was how that worked. Those 2 objects are different shapes, so turning would be those objects PIVOTING on the parts that are quantum entangled. So turning left would cause your nacelle to crash into your saucer. Turning up would cause your ship to be going through space with the nacelles and saucer both turned at the same angle. The theory itself disproves that the tech could EVER work like you idiots think even if we accept your premise. Not to mention a TINY fraction of a millisecond variation in any part of your ship dropping out of warp and your literally ending up weeks of sublight impulse power away from the other parts of your ship stranding you in deep space with no means of interstellar propulsion.
Please come up with theories that would at least work if we accept the premise they are based on.
@@dillionedmonds5736 No need to be such a stuck up little asshole to the guy, he writes sci fi he got a theory wrong big deal, scifi does = fiction. Plus would it hurt to have said, you have misunderstood the theory of quantum entanglement and said this is how it works in the real world. But nope, you just had to go on out there and be the asshole. Was it needed to call them a idiot? I am sure that attitude does you great on reddit.
The _original_ 1975 Star Trek Technical Manual by Franz Joseph "violated" the "rule" (which didn't exist back then!) with the Federation-class dreadnaughts ("au" not "ou"!), Saladin-class destroyers, and Hermes-class scouts. As the arbiter of All Things Trek, the Great Bird approved it back then. He would have had to. Even when he didn't demand it, or be owed it, he was respected enough to always be consulted at least. The Sith Rule of Nacelles (always two, there must be) didn't come into existence (along with "warp cores", that's a whole separate rant) until the 1990's. It was a strategic move by The Great Bird to protect his Intellectual Property against the tangential versions that had sprung up while Trek was "abandonware", such as Star Fleet Battles, which fairly routinely used single and three nacelles. Even the four-nacelle ships of that setting splits them three ways (one Left Warp, one Right Warp, two Center Warp). Love the man, but he could be a ruthless bastard at times, when it came down to business, and he knew his business.
well this does make a little sense their energy generation was off the scale but they were material short so having detached nacelles that retracted onto the outer hull of the ship for warp makes sense for a materal saving stand point, and being able to move the nacelles for aditional cargo holds would allow a wider mission profile for all ships durring their hard pressed days
I just can't get over how 'inefficiently using available space' is deemed futuristic.
Interesting, as none of the designs from the older shows are efficient, either; they rightly focus on the visual language of television and movie to communicate to the audience
So the only design that fully meets your standards are the borg cubes, then? Because every other ship is full of hollow space, for one reason or another. Every Trek ship ever.
@@iROMine I am more talking about ships that topologically have no holes, but if you want to strawman it this way.
@antaresmaelstrom5365 boo hoo. Maybe there's a reason for it. There's certainly a reason the Discovery's saucer is the way it is (spore drive). It could be enhanced maneuvering, structural integrity, or a more flexible design since programmable matter is a thing. And all in all it makes them visually distinct, a new ship formula that doesn't stray incredibly far from the designs of centuries past. The fact that people are taking issue NOW is wild. These designs are the furthest in the future that any Trek show has ever taken place in, and it would be completely in their right to make the designs unrecognizable in comparison to their ancient counterparts. They didn't. Which is an awesome homage. They did as much as they could without ruining the appeal. I'm not strawmanning. This is Sci-Fi. They would come up with any reason under the sun and make it make sense. Automatically assuming there is zero reason for it because you don't like the design change is silly. Maybe they'll explain it maybe they won't. This has always been the case with the franchise.
@@iROMine Agree to disagree then. I see no reason to get into a continued back and forth on what are taste differences based on differing interpretations of in-universe rules/applications.

The detached ships would only make sense if they were modular and break off into smaller ships which had their own power sources/weapons.
All these ships would look better if they didn't employ the floating nacelle/ hull design. Just add bits that connect the shjp together.

I agree that the design doesn’t make a lot of sense, sure it might look futuristic, but it’s not very practical, plus it looks more alien than star fleet, I’m assuming that it is using some kind of tractor beam technology, but what happens if the ship looses power in that area, how is it then going to be functional, there is a reason why the engines are attached to the main ship, and not just floating separately from it.
The amount of hollowed out space in these ships makes no sense. How do you get from one part of the ship to another quickly and efficiently?
They probably did it to make them look cool. A possible Canon explanation I prefer, is that those sections are actually there but displaced in subspace either for shielding purposes or for scanning technology reasons. It's also why the Nacelles are not connected, they are just through subspace.
@@79visual Sight to sight transporters became everyday
@JeremyBolanos site to site*
Good try though
Aren't they use personal transporter?
@@79visual I'd prefer to think that the hollowed out space is for a modular section to be placed inside. Then the ship can take on new profiles and different assignments. Otherwise it's just trying to be cool without considering function as part of it's form.
Transporting everywhere just because they can is a daft idea as seen in STD when a perfectly good set of legs to move around are adequate one minute... And then they transport the next because the writing staff can't write a scene transition. The Discovery itself probably has the least amount of screen time of all ships because they don't do flyby transitions from one character scene to another.
The only way these detached strcutres make the sligthest sense would be if they are all slices of a higher dimensional structure. If these ships are actually build in multiple dimensions and so the various parts are actually part of a seamless whole you just normally can't see.

They could be independently targeted even if they were attached. Targeting subsections of a ship has been a thing since TNG. I think the lack of VERY THIN neck and pylons means there's less vulnerable things for the enemy to shoot.
When you are right you are right Stacy! 😢
Star Trek used to have the best looking ships with practical and grounded type design. Even that it was Sci-Fi it still felt like it could exist in the real world. The "new" Star Trek has ruined the sleek and elegant designs of some of the best looking ships within the Sci-Fi scene. From the Iconic Enterprise Refit design, the Excelsior and the Sovereign Class ties together a design that still stands the test of time. The new ships just look like something I drew up when I was in middle school without any soul or thought put into it.
I agree. I also can't stand when they change well established designs like they did with the original Enterprise in Strange New Worlds.

As fas as I'm concerned none of these ships are canon.
StarTrek was a great science fiction story. These ships come from a perversion of Startrek that deliberately ignores all the rules, tropes, intent and spirit of its creators (as almost all modern re-imaginings do).
I feel like a nerd knowing that, but the given warp speed on the first ship is from the original uss voyager.
What happens to the detached parts when the power goes out.
And the power goes out often in the trek universe.
The power that runs the fields holding the detached parts in place goes out, what then?
A clever writer/world-builder/science advisor would do this:
When the power goes out and all the back-ups fail too, not everything immediately ceases to work.
Why not?
Well, because the systems are still all "charged up". They are able to adequately function for several more hours, if not even days in some instances, even after the main power source has been completely cut off.
Just imagine it working like your phone, in a way. You re-charge it and then unplug it (meaning that you're "cutting off" its power source), but the device nonetheless keeps on working for an entire day.... or somewhat less.... or somewhat longer . . . .
At least this is how it should work. The thing is that many writers would likely hate this, like they've, for example, despised the shows' Replicators and Transporters for decades, because it is prone to kill a LOT of means for potential dramatic situations.
Ya gotta get out and push.😅
Also the power going out was usually due to people messing about with experimental tech or unknown space. on whatever was called enterprise at the time. Maybe they found a captain who forced engineering to stick to the manual and didn't take a lone ship into strange places
"Captain, that last hit took out the power on decks six through 9!"
"The nacelles?"
"They're about 6000km away by now..."
"Okay guess we're done, signal our surrender."
Probably, they have a safe fail system that re-attaches the nacelles when the power reaches critical levels.
SNW Enterprise is absolutely gorgeous and what it would look like if tech now was in 60's.
Sorry but I don't understand the "iconic" part. These were just a random designs that showed up in discovery (a very bad treck compared to the old ones) and have to bacground of history in start trek lore, they don't look good either.

@@subraxas you are clearly on crack
@@subraxasnow that is high trolling there.
Nothing from godawful KurtzmanTrek is even remotely close to being “iconic.”
There was also a reason why the Warp Nacelles were so exposed in the past, as they emitted Radiation that could not be easily compensated, which is why they were placed on pylons far away from the hull, which, however, brought with it a major Problem, they represented a tempting Target for any Attacker, as simply destroying or even JUST damaging the Warp Nacelles could render a ship incapable of Warp!
A Problem that seemed to be solved with the release of the Defiant-Class, so instead of shoving this important piece of Equipment in the Enemy's Face, Warp Nacelles should actually have disappeared completely into the Hull!

Mr. Sulu... I see a bad moon...it's there on the ...!
As a sci-fi writer, there's a race that uses detatched 'drive sections'. The drive sections are more like slightly more permanent tugboats, turning a modular habitation module into a spaceship-having entirely engineering sections/systems/FTL/sheilds/etc, except for one Primary Control Chamber. The main control comes from the hab module it's using.
They also have monohull designs-which are used for High-Performance use. This is less material efficient and less versatile... however, it is higher efficiency for things such as, i dunno, *military use* and things of that nature.
A few thoughts...
1)I just can't keep wondering where the Angelou Class ship has its warp nacelles.
2) I can imagine the 32nd Century Enterprise belonging to the Constitution/ Kirk Class.
3) The U.S.S Credence has six nacelles? Does that mean it has 3 warp cores?
4) The U.S.S Nog and U.S.S Jubayr are the most alien-looking Federation ships.
5) Most of them are gigantic in size dwarfing the Galaxy Class quite easily.
6) Never thought the Starfleet Headquarters was actually a starship able to convert to a space station. Cool!
Plus, you forgot the U.S.S. Andares.
1. Probably underneath it like the Mayflower or Miranda so we cant see them from that camera angle
2. Yes
3. The Constellation had four nacelles and one warp core, so why would that be needed
4. YES! I love that federation ships are actually being designed by people who aren't humans
5. Yup
6. That reveal was one of the coolest scenes of the show.
Ultra future Federation starship design might not even need a warp nacelles. Nobody ever thought of that? It's like giving modern Battlecruisers triple cannon turrets.
@joeldelica8706 Warp nacelles has been considered as mini types due to advancing Warp core and secondary transmitter, moreover, battlecruisers consoles requires connon, phaser, laser beam, and torpedo, as main weaponary devices to heavy vessel carrier networks.
@@linz8291 What you mean "as mini types?"
I mean they're smaller than average.
@@linz8291 Ah, i see. Still, at some point in the future. The warp nacelles will be abandoned for a more advance system. And the saucer hull, engineering hull and warp nacelles will either change or completely disappear. Michael Okuda talked briefly about that in the old USS Enterprise D Technical Manual.
I always imagined future Star Trek Ships like the USS Relativity which didn't have visible nacelles anymore and the design was almost organic. I admit I'm sad we didn't see something in that direction or the 31st Century Ships from Star Trek Online
If that's the future of Star Trek I don't want to see it.
Its interesting to see detached nacelles. I wonder how the technology was developed considering these ships are all capable of faster-than-light speeds
These designs are catching up with modern concepts in science fiction whereas Star Trek has been adherent to 60s and 70s design for decades. I’m a fan. The tribute to classic Trek design is there. The 32nd century technology is imagined here as allowing designers to bring concept art into the physical world. The modules held in place by fields and the primary shapes are reminiscent of Iain M Banks Culture universe.
Actually, in the ST universe, dilithium was inert to antimatter when its lattice structure was saturated with the EM field in the M/AM reaction chamber. A tech that would make it reactive in spite of the field would destroy the reactor.
The idea that the interconnecting "neck" and nacelle pylons being done away with is nothing new. I did a similar thing with 1701-A 20 some odd years ago in a series of drawings, then for proof of concept I took a model kit and painted the neck and wings a matte black just to see how she'd photograph. She was awesome!
What about the USS Mitchell. It was mentioned several times in Star Trek Discovery.

@@liamscienceguy8153 - That's awesome.
I HATE with a passion the floating nacelles. I hope someday all of this will be declared non canon or part of some alternate universe
The only sensible reason for the floating parts is for better modularity. Meaning, you could swap out parts of a vessel with ease, or you could separate a vessel depending upon the mission parameters. Personally, I would have these vessels still be one, connected ship just for aesthetics reason.
Regardless of my criticism, there are a few gems. My personal favorite is the USS Credence, USS Annan, USS Thant and USS Armstrong. Interesting designs, but, again, I wish that the parts of some of these ships were connected to their respective hulls.
idk about you, but voyager doesn't look like a 300+ meters ship with those row of windows (unless they're not windows)
Why does the uss credence have 6 nacelles? Surely after u add to many it becomes redundant bcus even the voyager has 2 nacelles and goes like 9.99 warp no?
I don't get all the hate against these designs. I actually like the super futuristic and out of this world designs on these. Its like people nowadays don't like change and want to only have the things they liked when they were young or something.
Uhhh...and how exactly do most of these ships warp without nacelles? What am I missing...
Ok...these are the dumbest looking ships ever. No form, no soul, no art. Please tell me that you can do better than this
The Alcubierre-class starship has no warp nacelles what-so-ever. Instead it uses a temporal control device that funnels and controls the flow of chronons. As speed is distance over time, by altering the flow of chronons (time particles), the time necessary to travel a particular distance can be modified. Thus, traveling a certain distance would take exactly as much time as you desire. 10 lightyears would take only as long as you want it to take versus some small fraction of a year. This is up to and including 0 time at all. The Alcubierre-class can also be configured in any number of ways as it no longer requires accounting for inertia.
The Alcubierre, the ship for which the class is named, is shaped like cigar. It is cylindrical along its central axis and rounded at both ends. It does not have obvious torpedo tubes or phaser banks. The Alcubierre has transphasic transporters which operate slightly out of phase with reality. This allows them to bypass shields of nearly any configuration. In order to maximize efficiency, the Alcubierre has a decentralized command deck with command areas near each major system and function. This design was borrowed from the Borg and has proven important to the Alcubierre's record of never being damaged in battle beyond reason.
Primary weapons on the Alcubierre consist of traditional phasers banks routed through the transphasic transporters. This puts the weapons fire directly on the target area. Secondary weapons are transphasic photon torpedos and transphasic quantum torpedos. Utilizing the transphasic transporters, the phasers beams and torpedos are directly placed on and in, respectively, the target of attack. This allows weapons fire to completely circumvent nearly any shielding technology. Even adaptability such as the Borg have is rendered nearly useless. Boarding parties can also be placed directly on board a target ship or station. Transphasic shielding also negates the need for a deflector array which opens up more space inside the ship for other functions.
AS the USS Alcubierre can manipulate time particles, it has a sort of timeless quality to it. Many observers have stated that upon seeing the Alcubierre, they find themselves calmed and comforted by its form. No one has yet to figure out what specifically it is about the Alcubierre that makes it so satisfying.

im with you on that, you can tell these are federation ships, but evolved. it makes sense that they look a bit alien to us because its over a thousand years into the future. For example, to the vikings a thousand years ago, our ships now might look really alien to them, why can't it be the same for us, but in the future.
How on earth can a 32nd century ship have a maximum speed of only warp 9.975 when 24th century ones are faster?!

Voyager "J". Yeah, I saw what they did there. :P
Somewhere Matt Jeffries is spinning in his grave.
Matt Jeffries' core concept for the Enterprise was something that you couldn't build out of modern materials. The nacelles are intentionally spindly for that reason. He probably would have done exactly this had he been able to.
I personally don't consider Star Dreck: STD canon...It was DemoNUT Dreck created by persons who didn't know jack about ST! Same type of persons that Ruined SW, Dr.Who, LOTRs, etc...Most of these cut and paste ships had very little to do with the iconic ST TOS, TMP, TWOK, UDC, or the TNG era....

From what I recall from the one time I watched it - they crystals that’s used for Slipstream drive are extremely rare , 🤷🏼♂️ ( discovery writers )
even though in the 24th/25th century ~2380-2415 ( including Star Trek online all ships have a slipstream burst drive for 30 minutes (150 LY) with a cooldown of 12 hours ) up to maximum 2 hours (600 lightyears ) cooldown of 2-3 days .
Load of bullshit and not to be considered as Star Trek canon along with that STD Discovery.
@@lasarith2 Star Trek Online (STO) is a mere 'Beta Canon', which basically means "not a canon". A definition of Star Trek IP's Beta Canon is, "all officially licensed NON-canonical works". So at the end of the day, STO does not matter at all.
Otherwise, the thing about the "crystals" being "rare" does not come from "discovery writers", as you've stated above.
In-universe, Slipstream Drive is being regulated mostly (but not exclusively) by Benamite crystals which are the best known means for this kind of a job, are naturally occurring, but unfortunately very rare. Even rarer than Dilithium. On top of that, Benamite is extremely difficult to synthesize (Dilithium cannot be synthesized nor replicated at all); in the late 24th century, the UFP's available technology needed north of one year to synthesize one crystal thereof.
All of this was established on ST: VOY in the late 1990s where the given Drive was first introduced. This only shows that DIS writers do know and do follow ST's Alpha Canon and continuity. Well, at least sometimes.

Why the detached nacelles? They wouldn't function at all. The entire quantum entanglement bs that people try to use to claim pushing 1 atom entangled with another atom would push both is so incredibly false that its incredible ANYONE would believe it. That theory states that quantum entanglement makes both atoms share a state, a state is not motion. So moving one wouldn't have ANY effect on another. It would mean that if you heat 1 of them up the other would be heated as that is a change in state, or if you damage 1, the other would recieve the same damage, or you could transfer power that way as electrifying one would electrify the other, but drawing power from either would cause the power to drop in both. The only way detached warp nacelles would POSSIBLY work would be tractor beam tech, but that would also create a massive structural problem with sheering forces and navigation as the nacelles would rotate at a different speed than the rest of the ship. Just please stop with this junk fraudulent science crap...
It's like all the good ship designers died in the Idiotic Burn.
i stopped watching STD after season 1, i am glad i did, seems like they beat that going in time bullshit to death
Where is 32nd century Enterprise?
Is the Kirk Class, the one that looks like an Enterprise, the 1701-X in the 32nd century???
What the hell is the point of having an entire starship be a jungle surrounded by glass?
is it glass tho?
Make models please
No thought into the kurtzman trek ships and it shows boy did it show they look like clowns designed them oh wait they did😂😂😂😂😂😂
Since when do starship classes have subclasses? The original Voyager was Intrepid Class ship, Voyager J is Janeway Class ship, which isn't a subclass of the Intrepid. It never had a subclass to begin with. No ship had such a thing.
I did not know that the Curie was that big, such a cool design. I'd have to say the mars class scouts are my favourite future design though.
I disagree with everyone in the comments. While I detest Discovery, I love the starships designs from the future. People don’t seem to appreciate how long 1,200 years is. The idea of detached Nacelles is COMPLETELY BELIEVABLE. If anything I’m upset that Starfleet is still using warp or even dilithium. According to lore eventually the Romulan Republic would have joined the Federation and brought the quantum singularity tech with them. That should have eliminated the need for dilithium altogether, and a millennium should have been enough time to figure out how to shut down such singularities without any problems. It’s also more than enough time to replace warp drive itself with trans warp or stable integrated slipstream. I would have also love to have seen ships with no nacelles or slipstream tech integrated into the hull “skin” of the ship itself with hyper efficient drives. Or you could eliminate the two nacelles rule with high technology and had three nacelles if you must have them. Transporters should be reliable enough by now to replace ultra long turbo lift tech with door arch transporters.
Actually, when onland countries has united as one united federation of planet in late 31st century, sol local troops and membership extroplanets' starfleets has reformed their ship series towards universal standard civilization. But to excellent starfleet members and galactic council membership extroplanets, to enhance sol council and local troops safety and diplomatic relationships are common sense to space force.
I really tried to be open minded about the new Discovery starships but they are
just to alien for me to even have a model of one next to my Intrepid and Galaxy class.
Even Discovery itself doesn't fit in the generation class of starships.
This is all alternate universe stuff from the evil mind of Alex Mandark Kurtzman.
People keep on forgetting about this all the time.
Bryan Fuller was the original creative mastermind behind the Discoverse's disparate aesthetics. He used to share the showrunning responsibilities with Kurtzman, but Kurtzman was there primarily for the logistics and business sides.
Fuller was the one predominantly responsible for the Spore Drive stuff, Burnham's being Spock's stepsister, the 'Kelvinverse-like' cinematography, the new visage of Klingons and virtually of everything else, and so on, and so forth.
If you've watched the first season of the show, then you will probably remember that once the USS Discovery returned from the Mirror Universe, the whole Klingon-UFP War wrapped up somewhat abruptly and unsatisfactorily. Well, this was caused by Fuller's getting fired by the studio's execs partway through the given season's production due to his, once again, inappropriate behaviour. This was a huge complication for the creative team, because the rest of the season's storylines was only roughly outlined and final scripts weren't ready yet. Hence they had to hastily cobble something together in order to finish it all off on schedule.
And yes, Fuller, of course, had absolutely nothing to do with (not only) the third season of DIS and the ships discussed above, but the overall 'design language' of the so-called "Discoverse" had been firmly established by him nevertheless.
The detached nacelles look hilariously bad.
I like some and don't like others. I appreciate what ST: DSC was trying to do. There are characters I really liked such as: Suru, Lorka, Reno, Detmer, Dr. Culber, Georgiou, their version of Spock & Pike etc., etc. And for all of you who didn't like the show remember the "it doesn't feel like Star Trek" was also said about ST: TNG first three seasons before some people came around. I liked ST: DSC because it pushed ST further and no matter what some fans say, it gave us ST: SNW. And for those of you who were around, by the end of ST: ENT people were tired of Star Trek. I know the show had it's fans (I also liked it), it's ratings were way down and the studio could not save it. I'm happy to see any ST because like Leonard Nimoy once said "Open your mind! Be a Star Trek fan and open your mind and say. Where does ST want to take me now". Love it! Take care.
Finally someone in the comment section who doesnt complain about how "this is what happens when you let DEI hires design your starships", thank you very much good sir
USS Armstrong only decent looking ship. The Maathai looks like a wintergreen Lifesaver.
So I never watched Discovery cause I kept hearing bad things about it. What the hell are these ship designs? I get that there are supposed to be 32nd century so potentially way more advanced, but how do floating pieces of ships even make sense?
Why would you ever do that? What if you needed to get to those parts of the ships for repairs? I realize most of those were just nacelles, but a few of them had the saucer/ stardrive sections just not touching? Like why would you do that?
How is this future to be avoided?
The Armstrong was the only decent looking ship there.
These star ships won't look like any star trek previous ships, there design totally different completely different from others
