I like how like half of these are 'we need actual warships.'

I love the Yeager class. I love to think of the nightmare that its engeneering shop had keeping it running. It must have been a true challenge getting all the incompatible components working together with out breaking down or blowing up. What a hero ship that would have made.

7:30 So basically, they said that these ships were slapped together on a shoestring budget and tight schedule... to justify slapping ships together on a shoestring budget and a tight schedule.

That "shot from Golden Eye" has actually be used since silent film days. I can think of at least a couple of episodes of the original "Ducktales" from the mid 1980s that uses it as well.

Random observations. In universe the Nova class was supposed to be the pathfinder vessel for the Defiant back when the plan was to have a really high warp torpedo boat that would do hit and run salvos, but they changed the entire concept and went for a close range slugger. But since the frame was viable they repurposed it into the Nova class and greatly downgraded the warp core. And the anti Borg ships that debuted in First Contact took some design cues from the Defiant in that they didn't have nacelles out on long pylons unsupported and vulnerable. Most had them connected to the primary hull in some way or at least partially obscured by the primary hull. The idea was that since there was going to be a new Enterprise, they didn't want to confuse the audience by having another new ship with the traditional saucer, secondary hull and nacelles on pylons look. The in universe explanation was that Starfleet was going to a new design paradigm of much tougher and more "muscular" ships. And the plan was that after Nemesis, when they had planned on continuing with the current timeline they were going to show Starfleet going to internal bridges and not having the long willowy exposed ships. But the ship designers had no say in the studio hiring a director who didn't even know or like Star Trek to direct Nemesis and killl the franchise for a while. But Star Trek online (which came much later) went back to mostly standard designs with just new detailing and styling. As for *Seven of Nine,* and her costume: a little trivia, her costume almost killed her! The original full Borg suit she wore (before she was deBorged) cut off the blood flow to her carotid artery when she turned her head. She immediately passed out and a alert film crewman turned her head straight and restored blood flow to her brain. As well her catsuit required 20 minutes to take off or put on - with help, so to avoid toilet breaks she just didn't drink much. I wonder if she made a clause about no catsuit for "Picard"? And finally when first screening Voyager, the local TV affiliate was a year behind, so my mates and I would hire the tapes [from a video shop, a lot of you may have read about them in 'remember 90's kids memes'] as soon as they came out. Well we were the second or third ones to hire Scorpion part 2, and the scene where Seven is revealed from behind in her slinky new outfit was hard to watch … I don't mean that as euphemism, the tape at that precise scene had lines and was crinkly because it had been held on pause for so long it had caused physical damage - on a video tape that had been released a few days earlier. This was a primitive time, before internet porn.

Wait a minute, if the ball section of the Daedalus class could actually separate, would that make them Spaceballs?

I know them all! Now I feel kinda like a nerd...😔

There's nothing wrong with dedicated medical ships like the Olympic-class, you just need to keep them out of harm's way.

I love the witty banter and humor that you guys have.

A little known fact is that the Bonsai tree was so overpowered that in order to keep the episode (and whole Star Trek franchise) from being finished in a few minutes they had to kill it off in what was arguably the most deus ex machina moment in the show.

The humor and editing in this one is top-notch.

When I realized I know all of these ships, I realized just how much of a nerd I am lol

Before 7 of 9: "Voyager" rating is 5 out of ten After: "Voyager" Rating is 10 out of ten.

The Raven was much larger than a runabout, the MSD even has a small shuttlebay at the back.

"BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS BAD ASS? this Bonsai tree on the Olympic class" ROFLMAO! I fell out. XD

Akira class is my favorite ever sense I got Star Trek Armada so long ago lol

The ball section could be a way of showing other races "this isn't a battle ship don't attack"

This video has brought a whole new meaning to “Attack those Federation starships”

I'm sure ben yells BONSAI!!! Everytime he see a Olympic class blow up

I love Nova class ever since I first seen it in Voyager it has become my favorite

Their Akira class is one of my favorite ships in the Star Trek series when I first saw in the Battle of wolf 359 I instantly fell in love with it I literally have a model of it on my desk that I've had for years now

Thanks for this wonderful round-up on the lesser-known Star Trek vessels. My favorite is USS Defiant, which turned the tide of the Dominion War, and is, in general a bad-ass little ship - accommodations are closer to a WW2 destroyer, and a very warlike craft.

The sphere section on the Olympic class makes sense if you consider that a sphere is the optimal shape for enclosing a volume with a minimum of surface area. Perhaps since it’s a medical ship, the idea is extra radiation shielding for vulnerable patients?

Left it to late for the trailer analysis, didn't you ? Or is Alan still locked away furiously going through it frame by frame looking for clues while running sound wave comparisons to see if that is Palpatine.

You say it's silly, but one of my goals in STO has always been to get one of the Olympic class refits.

Awww, how can you not make a connection between the old Daedalus class and the Olympic class?

A whole section on a space Winnebago and nary a mention of Lone Star and Barf from Spaceballs?

This makes me want to pick up Star Trek Online again

The Norway class is one of my favorite designs and it deserves way more screentime than it got

The Borg star starts to assembly them and they tell her to run, you're on a small Starship where you going to run, to there's no way to run

Nice to listen to someone so easy to understand.

Dude, the James Bond was a woman line had me on the floor laughing. Good job!

I believe, the Olympic class is an homage to the very first sketches of the TOS Enterprise, which had a sphere in place of the saucer section.

Yes. Seven of Nine definitely kept my attention on Star Trek: Voyager.

The Norway-Class is my bane. I’ve been trying to build a model of it for years, but in order to scale it, it just has to be oh so long with those blasted nacelle things on the aft.

Jeffrey's Tubes actually do go into the warp nacelles. Archer built an auxiliary navigation bridge inside one to shield the crew from a radiation nebula.

You had me at “this bonsai tree...”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh I'm laughing so hard a bowling ball. That animation was epic. Well done

Freedom Class was also a single nacelle design from the TNG Era.

Oh, the Nova class is more armored then an Oberth class! I can finally take more than one shot from a hand phaser without exploding!

Just found your channel and I love it ...

Thank you for the way you do videos

Great video. Funniest one yet for this channel!

Steamrunner & Norway are my favorite TNG era ships. Nice to finally see them get some love!

Saber class. Give me a little ship with a great big gun.

I had always hated the design of the Olympic class in Star Trek... until I flew one in Star Trek Online, and now I love the look of it! Seeing it in 3D worked for some reason.

That was AWSOME!

Great video, got a subscription here.

Fun episode. I dig the Nova & Wells class ships. Neat designs.

8:36 That’s a curry class with excelsior/centaur class nacelles

9:33 Finally, someone calls it out!

3:39...😂😂😂 you old dog, Jean Luc!😎

The crew of the Oberth Class science vessel probably got from the top section to the secondary hull section by using turbo lifts that take people through the nacelle pylons connecting the top and bottom sections of the ship together, Turbo Lifts can move in all directions so it is entirely possible.

Amazing story about your child's birth! Thank you for sharing! Great Video!

You are awesome! :) I love ships!

Bit of trivia, the Steamrunner was originally going to be called the Streamrunner, but the r was dropped and became Steamrunner.

My favorite little known ship is actually the Cheyenne-class. You only see it once, as far as I know. When the Enterprise passes by the debris field after the battle of Wolf 359, one of the destroyed ships is a Cheyenne-class. I like this ship because the original studio model was actually designed from two scaled-down Galaxy -class model kits (saucer, "necks" and pylons) and four painted marker pens as nacelles. No clue why they didn't just use the nacelles from the kits as well - you couldn't really tell from the distance anyway. But hey.

The freedom class is one of my favorite designs.

Gen Tech: Talks Star Trek Also Gen Tech: Shows Star Wars scenes

I love the jabs at the new trek, you sir are my kind of guy u get a subscribe and the like.

Wow! Those ships are amazing! ...Even the Olympic class! ...For scanning or something!

Long ago in a book store far away, in a time before internet, cellphones, google, or youtube I picked up a book called “The Making of Star Trek”. It was the late seventies and from this ancient tome I learned that the Enterprise had many concept drawings made before the Constitution class that we know and love came about. The principle runner up to what we know was a peculiar vessel with warp nacelles but a giant, round ball-section instead of a saucer- section. That is almost what we got.

We need to see more of you mate.

3:19 :D The captains face is hilarious, no fear, just annoyance. "How did I get here?"

I love how you are one of the few trek channles that doesnt suck up to the franchise and are willing to say what everyone is thinking...that Discovery is crap.

Very nice 👌

I always wondered what that intrepid class variant was all about. You can see it orbiting around DS9 in the background in a ton of scenes showing the station.

No Discovery? Instant LIKE.

Akira class! Hoorah!

I like the Olympic class. Just needs a redesign for the nacelles.

I love the Wells class, it's a new and futuristic design which really transmits the flair of the 29th century.

Congratulations, my good man! 😺

The boulingball gag, would be a crumbleling fireball -getting smaller as it tumbled along. LOL

This was like a list of awesome ships in star trek attack wing. Nova class is so handy.

My favourite is definetly Nova Class! In Equinox they said that the Equinox has little weapons, but they are actually as strong as Voyager's. And it looks perfect. And I like the idea that it replaces the Oberth Class. And...

This fookin channel makes even bloody star trek interesting...

I like Olympic class. Some ships are not made for battle or war and if it needs some strong protector it will travel with some war ship.

Wells Class is my favorite. The Tier 6 version of that ship on Star Trek Online is downright gorgeous.

I remember Golden Eye. It came out while I was in the navy (shortly after I returned from a 6.5 month deployment, I fell asleep while "watching it"

"And it didn't end well... " and just as I was ready to dispute that with some witty comment about how they delivered us Seven of Nine, you went and upstaged me :)

I had a character in star trek online flew an Olympic, the only reason was so I could do a history joke and call it the Titanic (the actual Titanic was an Olympic class ocean liner).

Dude! Our starship we had for our Star Trek role-playing game was a Steamrunner class! 🤓 My buddy even commissioned a model maker to paint a resin model of it for us, name and all 😎

Ah, you missed the better joke about the "Olympic" Class. Not a Bowling Ball, but the Rock Ball that chases Indiana Jones in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Now THAT'S a shot worth animating, Indy running from an Olympic Primary Hull rolling down on him.

I love this guy: "We're not going to show you anything from Star Trek: Discovery" WHILE SHOWING A CLIP FROM THE SECOND EPISODE IN THE ENTIRE SERIES. ...Brilliant.

Yay published on my birthday

To me the wells class ship looks a lot like the ship in Genes last attempted show Andromeda.

This video makes me want to replay Star Trek Armada 1 & 2.

I knew literally all of them Now I know why my brother calls me sad ☹️

Yes! I passed the test knowing the ships Now I can finally get promoted to Lt.

Fun Fact - once you watch this video, these ships become a little more known

That was so much awesome fun to💯😀💥🍷🎊🖖

Raven class ship was not the same size as a runabout vessel. The Raven class was a 5 deck deep space, extended period exploration ship with a shuttle bay of it's own. The runabout, generally shown as the Danube class vessel, was a single deck warp capable ship that was bigger than a shuttle, wiith small crew compartments, but significantly smaller than a starship.

Belated congratulations on your newborn!!!

Not bad, but I take issue with the inclusion of the Akira and Saber classes. They were so prominent in the later seasons of DS9 that even casual viewers would recognize them, if not know their backstories. Steamrunner class gets a pass, as it was less prominent, and Norway is fine, as the lost the model after First Contact, making that the only appearance of the design (outside of a silhouette in one VOY episode).

The flat saucer of the freedom class kinda act like aerodynamics wings, so once they would’ve reach terminal velocity it would pull up and activate stabilizers which would provide lift

Everyone takes the mickey out of the Olympic class ball hull BUT the most efficient shape (volume/surface area) is a sphere so as a medical frigate this layout provides MASSIVELY more floor area than a saucer section. This makes sense to use as it allows for so many more beds, operating rooms, convalescence areas, Physiotherapy suites etc: Stop hating on the Daedalus and show it some love.

wait wait... isn't there already another ship named The Freedom Class?

There is one thing I need to correct you on. The Akira class escort did not have a fighter bay. It was supposed to. It was in the original design specs, but officially, by the Canon timeline, it was rushed into production because of the Dominion war and the threat of the Borg, and in being rushed, was produced without the fighter bay, and thus was not the carrier it was originally planned to be. And Star Trek online, the ship that the Akira was supposed to be ends up being the next generation in that ship line, and is called the armitage class.

What about the Prometheus-class?

I like your sense of humour , sub'd
