Pathfinder Class, The New Voyager

Күн бұрын

When the Intrepid class Voyager returned home from the delta quadrant, the technology it brought was enough to revolutionise Starfleet ships, such as slipstream drive, ablative armour and all sorts of innovations. The Pathfinder was the eventual culmination of those designs and one of this class was the Voyager NCC-7656-B

The class even has a galley mess hall like Voyager. It has dedicated kitchen staff on board. This ship is expected to be away on mission for extended periods of times. This class is designed to do what Voyager had to adapt to being stranded. It can operate without Starfleet support for extended periods of time. Starfleet realised that proper cooked food was great for ship morale as learned from Voyager.

i assume because he only understood the need for a "carburator" but didnt fully understand the technology or how its tech functioned. If Toress or Kim had time to play around with the tech, i think we'd of seen that. (or at the very least designed a new warp scale, after the disaster that was "threshold" where paris achieved warp 10. it'd be nice to see an alpha numeric scaling system that starts at 0 and goes too 15, instead of the normal alpha numeric of 1-16, so we can break off from this 9.6 of the Ent D, but warp 9.975 of voyager being almost twice as fast, and the USS promethius prototype going warp 9.995 which is almost over 2x faster that voyager. the exponential scaling gets kinda stupid muddy at this point. warp 9.9 = 3029 times the speed of light but 9.975 is 5126 times the speed of light and warp 9.995 is 11515 times the speed of light.

I hope the finale will be a couple hours long. I also hope we see the Enterprise-F in more than just one episode.

The weirdest thing inserted into canon is that the Intrepid Class was a long range science vessel. Wherever did anyone get that idea? In Caretaker we rather clearly see that the Intrepid’s were designed to be Medium Range Multi Role vessels with an emphasis on fast response, tactical operation and defense. The closest equivalent would be a modern day Destroyer or Frigate. They were built in response to Wolf 359, and the growing tensions along several borders. Voyager wasn’t in the Badlands for Science. In fact pre 7of9 we don’t ever really see a Science officer on Voyager. The Command Crew is all Red and Gold.

As a result, Star Trek Online's lore leading to 2409 means we see different ships and delays in commissioning new ones whereas the Prime universe saw these ships get commissioned much sooner

Considering everything Voyager went through and all of the data they brought back, even if later Admirals and Engineers were opposed to the idea of continuing the Intrepid Class, not capitalizing on that data is a massive mistake, so a Voyager 2.0 ship class was inevitable and I'm glad it looks really good, even featuring the enclosed deflector array like the Dauntless, really shows how much of Voyager's encounters went into the design of the ship

I have an issue with the nacelles. With them being curved downwards while at impulse it doesn’t make sense to move upward to go to warp which causes them to stick out more and provides an awkward look. It would make more sense to make them move downward kind of making a circular appearance which would have given a more streamlined warp appearance.

I wonder, is the lower deflector actually a deflector at all, or is it entirely dedicated to slipstream field generation?

@dustinherk8124 Жыл бұрын

i do think it can function as a deflector at lower warp speed, on its own, much like the saucer section has a rudimentary deflector, on the Galaxy and Nebula class saucers. but i think the upper, sunk in deflector is used primarily for higher speeds, and the lower section is primarily used to generate a sliptunnel. one with greater function for impulse and subspace warp travel, and the other that changes how mass travels in sliptunnels, without violating physics laws, but still very different from traditional subspace
