    Probably should have given an honorable mention to Jupiter Station.
    While not a full shipyard, there were responsible for systems development and installation.
    It's where the NX-01 was supposed to have it's Phase cannons installed.

      But then you get into the scale of the galactic federation and the fact that as of the next gen era at least they can literally construct new objects out of if not raw energy then at least raw energy and some base matter.

      whats it matter when they have industrial replicators to convert energy into mass. Add to that their ability to generate large amounts of energy from their anti mater warp core's... yea i think money would be moot in a society like that. If truely run egalitarianly. Economics would pretty boring, simple. Maybe aside from materials that cannot be materialized which are there? They never really go into that. Money is still a thing outside their system so id think that the replicators cant replicate certain things. But the reality is energy to mass conversion would and could be anything if you had the programing for it. So. Maybe that's it. Certain elements are as of that time in history not known to replicate and is being worked on. They would always be working on the next thing to have put into the replicator. So latinum would be high up on the scale along with neutronium and other fancy alloys.

      That would be great. Some old tugboat or formerly proud vessel missing its glory days, then called back into service for one reason or another, where it is chronically outclassed. Like a Lower, Lower Decks. Or a series about a ship graveyard like in that one TNG episode, with a low-stakes approach, dealing with mothballed ships and criminal intrigue.

      How would it be an interesting SERIES? A few episodes at most as part of a plot but not a series, unless you’re talking about a few UA-cam videos then sure why not.

    Starfleet, being a military organization, needs to have multiple shipyards to construct their ships. You just pointed out the well known ones. Also, keep in mind some shipyards depend on what ships they'd build, depending on the size of that shipyard, resources available, and capacity to build certain ships. You'd have smaller shipyards that would only specialize in building smaller ships, shuttles, runabouts, freighters, and fighters. Then you have larger shipyards that can build medium to some large ships, like San Francisco Fleet Yards. But let's not forget there's also classified shipyards that are off the records.

    Hmmm... nicely done video, I liked it. A couple odds and ends:
    - Would Yard 39 count, or wold it not count due to being part of STO...
    - I think there was a few facilities mentioned in the comics as being in the Sol system... A shuttle building facility in orbit of Venus, docks at Saturn...
    - I think there was a section 31 dock at IO in the kelvin timeline. Isn't that where Scotty came across the dock for the Vengence?

    I always thought it was weird that they show pictures of the shipyards with all the utility craft & shuttles buzzing about, but seemingly never show all the massive freighters that would have to constantly be delivering all the raw materials and components...

      @keyboardt8276 Рік тому

      ​​​​@@drockjrmost of the examples you cited are from the 22nd-23rd centuries when replicators had not yet been developed or were in their infant stages. Even if the Enterprise D delivered some items, in general the freighters we see are a far cry from what would be expected for a population of trillions, if they were mainly dependent on freighters for resource distribution. So my guess is that most Federation facilities/planets are highly self-sufficient, and only tiny freighters smaller than modern cargo ships are needed for the small percentage of items that worlds/facilities cannot produce themselves. Contrast this to star wars where replication tech is almost unheard of, and you see huge multi-km long bulk carriers along with large shipping companies.

    I would imagine some of todays manufacturing methods floated into the trek world. Major components built is specialized facilities then shipped to the dry docks; engines, warp core, computer, etc. The hull and chassis might be 3-D printed. Looking at some of the non engineering art work 14:37 I can almost see the riveters, riveting the plates together.

    • @keyboardt8276
      @keyboardt8276 Рік тому +1

      Doubt they use rivets, it's probably some kind of molecular bonding or exotic welding process. And by TNG they probably use replicators instead of 3D printing (though perhaps you were referring to those when you said 3D printing)

    The less mentioned about ST:P season 1&2 the better. The fact that they (the writers and producers) thought that the federation needed to build ships to evacuate Romulus or that one shipyard being destroyed would cripple the Starfleet. It’s so beyond stupid it makes me want to puke.

    Was wondering, why the federation shipyards do not have one central hub for crew, materiell and machinery, and more than one construction site iluminated and protected by pair of (struts?). You know, in space, each ship can be oriented according prefferences and effectivity. And do belive, it will be more effective, if the yards are working on 4 or more starships of the same or similar type all at once...

    I read a novel where the mirror universe used a giant replicator array to build a copy of the Enterprise from stolen plans but needed to steal the computer or warp core from the Enterprise to make it work.
    Is that how the yards work? Just replicate the pieces and then transport them where they need to be and have people go over it.
