Here we have a rather unusual looking ship.
At first this looks like a normal kit bash. However the more you look at it, the better it looks!
This is clearly an Intrepid Class that has been heavily modified. It contains some TMP era sections and appears to have 2 deflectors.
How will it fare against the USS Defiant?
Thanks for watching!

The Defiant was originally planned to be built in numbers and attack in swarms in the same vein as a Klingon bird of prey but more durable. Lots of firepower, high speed, high maneuverability, and low crew requirements with moderate survivability if engaged in an unfavorable way.

@jyralnadreth4442 Ай бұрын

Elkins has been know about for decades...On DITL its called the Griffon Class, and Ex Astris has the ship in Other Uncertain Starfeet vessels. If I was to change anything about this ship it would be the nacelles - I would change them to Intrepid versions and in terms of story the class was rushed into service and so were completed with existing stocks of TMP nacelles but later refit with Intrepids :)

@RetroBadgerGaming Ай бұрын

Cool! Yes, the Nacelles don't make much sense. I can see how it would have been rushed into service during the Dominion War. I almost wonder if the Intrepid's nacelles would be too small. Maybe if it had some extra large ones, haha!

@jyralnadreth4442 Ай бұрын

@RetroBadgerGaming The Intrepids nacelles should be fine as Elkins is similar in size to the actual Intrepid. I must check but this ship has 3 navigational deflector dishes. Yes it does lol - I suspect that power is not a problem for the class as it would likely use a Dual Warp Core configuration and the cores are likely to be individually less powerful than most cores but combined overpower them. 2 low maintenance cores like from the Nova Class would fit this

@TrentonBennett Ай бұрын

The Elkins reminds me a lot of the Yeager class. Just one of those weird kit bashed designs. I think if it had extra power reserves then that would indicate they have two warp cores. Voyager apparently had two warp cores via MSD display but we only ever saw the one. I wonder if Worf was in command of the Defiant this particular match. Only he would say, "Perhaps today is a good day to die! Prepare for ramming speed!". I mean especially if you took out the bridge and they were in auxiliary control. Was it Miguel who said, "I believe we're in the clear." I was all, "Ya think!?!" So with no cloaking device for the Defiant is it the Sao Paulo renamed Defiant? As we know the second Defiant didn't have a cloaking device. As the Romulans had loaned Starfleet the cloak for the first Defiant. I swear there's phaser strips on the sides of the nacelles for the Defiant in front of the registry number. That's hilarious the game crashed after you rammed the Elkins lol.

2:02 I recently commented on this but I feel like the Defiant-class had some complementary roles in a fleet but that is not how it was portrayed and they blew their one shot, no pun intended, at using the detachable "nose". That "last resort" weapon might be impressive but we never see it in action. Do any of the Defiant-class ship models come with this weapon? 5:33 Well, it *would* be in line with your engineering ship comment. Furthermore, I don't know if you recall this but the Nova-class actually has got a really potent shield recovery in canon. (45 seconds to fully recharge the shields, though they had to be dropped in order to facilitate this.)

..... it's hard to understand why you would say that it's impossible for the defiant to win that, as a defiant is supposed to be the far more maneuverable ship. Once again, it seems like your flying is not up to the usual standards, because two critical times you turn right into the forward firing Arc of the Elkins and basically critically damaged yourself because you're just not paying attention. One time, all you had to do was just resume your thrust vector to the right and you would have gotten under the ship and been able to fire at the point you were trying to fire at, and probably hurt the ship enough to where you could have continued flying and probably destroy it. So I don't get why you gave up on this one so easily and so fast relative to other times. Yes, however the Elkins was designed, the phasers are very accurate and they're more powerful. However, there was still plenty chance for the defiant to take and win that battle. I'd like to see you redo it honestly.
