all good horses deserve a second chance and with the ability of the ExII to go slipstream finally they can shake off the failure status, I feel the engineers also got inspiration from the Soverainge designe and give us a very impressive ship.

The Excelsior II class is a worthy successor to the OG Excelsior Class.

Excelsior 2 with the the transwarp drive: I will finish what you started

Well done upgrade. I’ve always loved the Excelsior design. 🖖 ; and of course the Nebula Class👏

My God that's a big ship

beautiful ship, never liked the original but this one has style

one of my favorite ships from picard the excelsior 2 class would have been a better option for enterprise g really hope fanhome is making a model of it wich we saw more of it

Looks like what the original should have looked like in the first place. But, being an early 25th century design, it's a new beginning for a different generation.

One cannot help but be a little biased in favor of the original Excelsior class but they did a great job with the Excelsior ll design keeping a lot of the elements from the original. It is a true successor.

I have to say that I like how the Starfleet is resurrecting its vintage designs and spiffing them up for the new century. Like Quark once said "The more things change, the more they remain the same." 🖖😎👍

I always look forward to your stories and awesome ships thanks ❤

The Exelsior II class is an intresting step with new technologie. It also have to be can use a complet new design, but for the respect to the victurios orginal so it will be used a desgin mix with elements from the sovering and the orginal exelsior class. It is one of the shpis from PIC that makes senze.

I really really like the exelsior 2 design! Even better than the neo connie which was great already!

Really dig the video! Makes me want to go read the books from the B's years in service.

This model looks like it actually has the same number of photon Torpedoes as the original Excelsior having four forward torpedo launchers and having two aft

TY for the video an LLAP! Loved it!

Love this design. If TNG had launched in the era of CGI over practical models, I could see this design taking the spot of the TOS era Excelsior class.

Excelsior II just got a sense of elegant and MORE elegant.

Well done , absolutely well 👏🏿 done😉🖖🏼!

She's a really nice-looking ship and almost represents a midway point in design between the original Excelsior and the Sovereign class in terms of shape. Although not perhaps in function.

My 2nd favorite ship after the Enterprise-A

Love the excelsior class 2 very nice Video ❤❤

Pretty good design, however I wish they'd retained the thickness of the saucer rim. It being that thin feels a bit off. Other wise, she's a work of art.

Great video:)

Shes a beast in bridge commander.

Fantastic video I like the excelsior class 2

So cool.

Try an do a video on the universe class uss enterprise j please

She definitely is a better looking ship than the original.

Very nice more please

I like this way more than the obena class. the neck of the obena REALLY bothers me.

I’m more than happy to write off the disastrous story choices in Picard as non-canon. “Synth attack? Inquiry class? Never heard of them.” 😂

What is a Sovereign, other then a Excelsior. Thanks for the great stories.

I never cared that much for the original, but this is a nice design.

first, thanks for the video

How many goats can fit on this starship?

I feel that the original Excelsior is a myth, the II should have been given a much more luxurious spotlight than a background ship.

I would have thought that with this being the successor to the original Excelsior, the registry would have been NCC-2000-A. Seems fitting.

You said this video was updated. what did you update? it looks the same. great video by the way

The Excelsior's low registration number implies the ship is a refit of a previous ship (much like the Titan A is supposed to be a refit of the Titan). It would be interesting to consider how that ship came to be. Was she an Excelsior or something else? What was she doing that prevented her destruction? Who was her captain? Was she even named Excelsior? (Just like Starfleet has had multiple ships with the same name but different registration, there's nothing saying they can't change a ships name without changing her registry.) Getting a series letter is an honor granted to ships with exceptional history. Which also raises the question, what did Will Riker do to get that A? Kirk and crew had to be exceptional and then save the Federation from a world ending space probe... twice.

I still despite your numbers for crew size of the Excelsior I, from everything I read it was at about 550. Then by the post Dominion War era, the man power shortages of the war taught Starfleet that need more automation (made more robust too) to keep crews smaller and increase the number ships in the fleet. Inspired by the Defiant concept from post-Wolf 359 ship designs. Meaning the Excelsior II probably had smaller crew compliment than original numbering in low 400's to high 300 hundreds. But I will say I am would be surprised if the class wasn't a major success. As it fits that perfect size for so many of Starfleet's greatest ships, not big and not to small making it an excellent jack of a trades (and master of none) Starfleet preferred.

I only have one complaint. I think the Excelsior II U.S.S. Excelsior should have had the registry number NCC-2000-A. I know that's probably considered nit picking, but like I said I only had one complaint and that was it. LOL

tell me, do they call it excelsior II class in Picard? otherwise would it be considered an Excelsior Class Refit III?

If this is Excelsior II then what is the 1701-B?

Scotty sabotaged the prtotype in STIII. Now with that beign said, I find it odd that Starfleet never made any backups of the transwarp drive plans. Kinda odd that you would have an exparimental, untested device, yet no backups to replicate it should there ever been an error of some kind. Not a very scientific or smart way or doing progress if you ask me.

Not so big as our captain I bet

Talk about redundant! One shot of Excelsior in a Sovereign shaped glass. This is a very pointless design, In fact, most "new" designs lately are just ugly knock offs of old designs and serve no purpose whatsoever other than to make more product to consume.
