Well... Half a Yeager is better than nothing I guess. :P

"There's coffee in that nebula" Capt Janeway

Also the source of the best phrase in Startrek ever, "TAKE THAT CHEESE TO SICKBAY"

Something I didn't appreciate at the time I first started watching Voyager was that Janeway was unusually well suited to her ship. Every command meeting is a demonstration that she's a Science Officer's captain, and knowing that she was nearly a pefect fit for her particular vessel makes the show hang together more. Relates more to SGA that way.

One thing I rarely see mentioned is just how good the Bio-Neural gel packs were at allowing the ship to act almost autonomously. In the episode 'Workforce' we see the ECH giving orders to the ships computer to engage in combat sans the entire crew. Remember that this is functionally the ship giving orders to itself, with no organic mind present to oversee.

Yes! I love the Intrepid class so much, and I unashamedly love Voyager as a show for giving us this beautiful ship. Thanks for covering her!

I've always loved the Intrepid class's design. It and the sovereign are probably my favorite ship types for the federation. Sleek but keeping the same style the series is known for

"Half a Yeager" I love you Spacedock

When i was 9 or 10, when i returned from school, voyager episode started. And, i loved it. I didnt see the whole series, but i loved every episode of it. Many dont like it, but for me, it will always have a place in my heart as an introduction to the sci-fi genre.

Nice breakdown of a ship that was put to the ultimate long range test. Any chance of seeing a part two for voyager as it underwent multiple alterations through its seven year trip from Borg alcoves to enlarged holodecks for Hirogen dressed as nazis to hunt in, to astrometrics, alternative propulsion drives, temporal shields and extensive bulkheads during the year of hell that then didn't happen. An historical document displayed it as having been covered in weaponry, Borg installed weapon launchers on it in fluidic space and a time traveling admiral covered it in deployable armour plating and this is just from what I can remember. As you say in your video, the intrepid class was a test bed for new ideas, and voyager proved more than capable of undergoing any alteration necessary to get the job done.

At about 1:33 the Doctor's ego takes a critical hit from which it may never recover.

But you forgot about the ships ample stores of emergency potassium!

Nice overview. 70,000 light years was a convenient 10,000 light years per season. 😉

"Delete the wife." - Captain Kathryn Janeway

The Intrepid Class, specifically Voyager, has always been one of my favorite Star Fleet ships.

I have to say, possibly my favorite ship design from Star Trek. The Defiant being a close second.

I continue to hope that they release a Voyager technical manual to pus along side my TNG and DS9 manuals

It would be interesting to see the future versions based upon that space frame, after all Voyager was a first generation design (yes I know STO has some). The Variable Geometry nacelles was one of two concepts they were testing out (the other being the Sovereign's design) to enable starships to travel at warp in unstable regions where subspace is vunerable to damage - Note warp does *not damage regular subspace,* if it did then after millions of years of warp capable civilisations there would be no subspace. It was to allow travel in the Hekaras corridor and similar regions (with tetryon radiation) without triggering any effects, a strategically useful ability, especially if encountering similar instabilities during exploration where no rescue ship would know to look if you got in trouble. But future designs could use fixed nacelles and a warp core modeled on the Sovereign's design (it was supposed to be the better of the two, they were trialing both). As well, the Sovereign had isolinear back ups for the bio neural gel packs, the ship was designed later than the Intrepid class so it had a few design concept improvements that could be applied to the Intrepid. A Intrepid Mark 2 would be a cool looking ship, and even more effective and robust. As for the ship itself, it fulfilled a vital new role in Starfleet, a versatile practical compact version of the Galaxy class. The Galaxy class could be considered bloated while the Intrepid was _lean and mean._ It allowed long range missions with a much smaller crew, which had several major advantages: First of all posts Dominion war, Starfleet had manpower issues so smaller crew requirement ships were a logistical advantage (and more able to be risked … ). Secondly many more Intrepid ships could be constructed and crewed for the same amount of resources used in a Galaxy class ship (by over a factor of 6 for size, either 5 or 6 for crew), and thus more exploration in different regions could occur. Finally the Intrepid could do double duty as a _very effective_ fast long range combat ship and with it's extensive facilities as a support vessel for pure combat ships such as the Defiant class. Imagine a Wolfpack with a bunch of Defiants and a Intrepid to cover the slack for the facilities the minimalist Defiants lack (full medical, extremely powerful long range sensors, *large replicators* and repair and resupply facilities, Holodeck training simulators ect). It would be a nasty combat group that didn't cost as much resources as a Akira class (3,000,000 metric tons versus only 700,000 for a Intrepid class, a Defiant was 355,000). So you get one Intrepid and Six Defiants for the material cost of one Akira. That's a scary Hunter/Killer raiding group that can stay out for a long time without resupply. The Intrepid thus fits in perfectly with the new philosophy and requirements of post Dominion Starfleet.

Possibly my favorite Trek ship. I never really thought about how sparsely it is crewed however. Fifteen decks with only 150 crew members. That's only ten per deck. You could work all day and not see anyone else.

I like how every exploratory ship in the trek universe double effectively as war ships because aliens periodically attacking is so common

I remember the episodes from Star Trek Voyager where we saw the Intrepid Class land on an alien planet: 'The 37's' 'Basics Part 1' 'Basics Part 2' The Q and the Grey' 'Demon' 'Dragon's Teeth' As far as I can remember these episodes were the only ones where we saw Voyager land on a planet.

Least favourite Star Trek series but favourite ship. The Galaxy class was just ludicrously big. We never saw more than 1% of the ship or the crew in 7 years.

The thing i like most about the Intrepid is the ability to fire more torpedoes than it had, Voyager started out with a full complement of 38, by the end of the show it had fired about 85... we may have missed a few.

And now Admiral Janeway monitors the timeline, making sure nothing harms her crew and silencing uppity critic who would dare question the temporal queen.

"It appears we have lost our sex appeal, Captain."

Ive had the idea that after Starfleet got word on Voyager survivin in the delta quadrant they put production of intrepid class ships into overdrive.

So does Janeway's mission in the Delta Quadrant beat Kirk's five year mission in space. I think it definitely beats him even though the whole thing was by accident.

You missed out on the fact the Intrepid Class has the most powerful armor ever created in starfleet. It was know as poltainum. If threatened, the captain could just engage plot armor and easily defeat borg cubes.

Man. Imagine a TNG era show after Voyager got back with all that sweet anti borg tech

In addition to the standard shields, Intrepid class vessels are equipped with inpenetrible plot armor.

Whenever I see a blended saucer and secondary hull Starfleet ship head on (Nova, Sovereign, ect) I want to attach the nacelles to the primary hull as well. Yes I know the Intrepid's move, but the Intrepid Mark 2 might use the Sovereign's nacelle and warp core design instead (it was judged better of the two systems). Just anchor them there and suddenly the ship looks more robust and sleek as well. I keep imagining how serious an issue cracks in a pylon would be. Although I would also like to extend the height of the saucer far further back, rather than have the sudden drop off at the middle, it looks a little off, side on, like a sloped back of a head. And it would give a lot more usable space in engineering and shuttle bays. It's how I would upgrade the Nova class specifically, but the Intrepid could use it as well. And imagine a Intrepid built with the aesthetics of the Sovereigns grey rounded sleek metallic design.

Thanks for the enjoyable review of the Intrepid class vessel and the most famous USS Voyager, Great ship with interesting crew.

Are you thinking of doing a video on Voyager as it is at the end of the show, with all it's upgrades etc.

Could you do a video on all the upgrades the Voayger got through its journey? Including Warp 10, the Slipstream Drive, and maybe even the unending search for coffee?

Out of all the hero ships we see this is my second favourite ship (the first been the defiant) I’m actually not a fan of the standard federation design of the saucer section up front bit that all starfleet ships tend to do, ied be quite happy to be assigned as captain to an intrepid class yes it’s not the Cruise liner of the galaxy class but it’s a nice mid point between Comfort and power.

I think the Intrepid Class Cruiser is my favorite Star Trek ship design, and I'd probably use it if I was forced to pick a ship from Star Trek as my personal star ship.

Great timing. I just so happened to have started watching Voyager again. Just watched the first episode yesterday.

Awesome you included the Aeroshuttle, thanks!

Been watching your posts for a while. Very informative with fine detail. Keep it up. Have been a sify junkie since seeing The Day the Earth Stood Still as a child in the 60's. Even have Klatoos last scene monologue stored on the handset.

If you pay attention to the way they talk about the ship in early seasons, its clear its supposed to be a fast response combat ship. Like a destroyer. But it was later retconned into a science vessel. A long rang science vessel to boot.

One problem I always had with the Intrepid class was that the nacelles looked too short.

One of my favorite starships!

Reason why she made admiral was that the higher ups read her logs and realized she's insane

Hello there somebody; I hope you’re having a good day!😊

I always loved the Intrepid's design. It was my favorite Starfleet design before the Sovereign came out. I'm a sucker for sleek lines and curves

It's a shame that we only ever seen the standard shuttles in the series. Could have done with more types of craft

The bladed armor version in the finale is my favorite.

You forgot to mention that the ship also has highly advanced replicator technologies that can construct new shuttles and torpedoes or fix damaged areas of the ship between episodes.

Wish they'd used the aeroshuttle during the run on the show.

0:29 fun fact: This Galaxy class ship ist the USS Enterprise D. After the finale of TNG, the ship was ordered back to Earth to be overhauled in spacedock. It was here last upgrade.. Shortly thereafter she left for her last mission (Star Trek Generations) as a result of which the ship was lost.

I consider the Intrepid class to be a light cruiser. Very nice design.

I can't take that image of the 'landed' Voyager seriously. That much ship, on just four of those teeny little legs (with most of the weight over the front pair)--nope.

now this is my favourite ship of startrek

A dedicated combat variant of the Intrepid class would be a force to be reckoned with largely due to its hull geometry and nacelle placement. The Intrepid is configured in such a way as to facilitate totally unobstructed firing arcs.

It's too bad that they never utilized the Aeroshuttle design for voyager. All they had to do was build it, launch it underneath the saucer section like it was planned, and call it the Delta Flyer with all the same mechanics/abilities that the Delta Flyer had. Also I wonder if they intend to bring the starship Voyager in the new Picard series since Janeway is an Admiral at that point? It would be pretty cool to have the enterprise and voyager in the same scene.

"A great number" meaning infinite shuttle storage.

You forgot one of its most fascinating aspects, it can regroup with itself! As Janeway ordered in one fight, “Pull back! We need to regroup!” Voyager was ALONE in that battle.

0:42 Role: Long-Range Science Vessel, Exploration Cruiser, Experimental Testbed, Half a Yeager Oh, Spacedock you rascal. #yeagerforsto

Cant believe that i havent seen the video until just now. More please and thank you

I love it's shuttle replication technology...

I never quite agreed with Janeway becoming an Admiral while Picard was still a Captain. She was probably a Lieutenant when we Captained the Stargazer.

Ahh the Sample Spoon looking Ship 😆

The Intrepid class Starship is my favourite Starfleet Vessel it's a great looking sleek design & quite a beautiful looking Starship

Mu favorite ride from the Federation’s garage.

my favourite ship of all time because of Voyager of course ..great video mate

I would’ve plotted course to the Gamma Quadrant worm hole instead of 0,0,0 But that’s just me.

Is the crew complement really supposed to be 150? I always had the impression that Voyager's complement was sort of a skeleton crew thrown together for the mission and that the ship would have usually had a much larger crew.

Very nicely done!!!👏👏👏

Voyager was the first Trek series I watched and I still love that ship.

Great analysis! I see the Intrepid as a response to the perceived failures of the Galaxy-class design. while not as adaptable or capable or able to do longer duration missions as the Galaxy class, it likely took half the resources to build and equip and a sixth of the crew. Starfleet could have two Intrepids zipping about with their higher speeds and picking up what specialized personnel and equipment to do the multitude of missions a single Galaxy class would have done in the TNG era, without putting all the eggs in one basket (the loss of the Odyssey and Enterprise-D just prior to the launch of the Intrepids likely contributed to that). while maybe not as good in a fight as a Galaxy class, an Intrepid likely could get out of a fight and run for safety more effectively than a Galaxy class (again, the loss of the Odyssey and Enterprise-D to what on paper should have been tactically inferior forces). all that said, i was never a big fan of the overall shape, which i felt was unbalanced. The nacelles were too small in proportion.

I like how short and sweet your videos are!

Breadown? Vienna or wholemeal? Didn't know the ship was DOUGH powered!

The intrepid class is a very good ship type. Fast and maneuverable. If it was given ablative hull armor and quantum torpedoes it would be even more formidable.

Would like to see a video on the 32C Intrepid/Janeway class

My favourite ship and show in trek

A special ship request; Warship Voyager. Although not an actual real ship, rather just a simulation. I'd still love to hear about it on Spacedock. I've admired this beast of a ship the second I laid eyes on it. So much in fact, I even have its model figure from Eaglemoss. Sorry, I'm rambling here. But anyway, do let me know if such a request is possible. Good day to you.

One of my favourite SpaceShip

Hated the show but loved the ship. Thanks for the usual excellent video!

Has to be my favorite Star Trek ship design ever

I like that the background music is from the video game Star Trek: Encounters.

Denkste so weit draußen im Deltaquadranten sieht man Starfleet nicht mehr, Kommt Plötzlich ne Intrepid daher.

2nd favorite ship only to the galaxy class. Very cool ship

You forgot to tell us about the onboard shuttle replicator. 😉😉😉

Have you done the SAAB Hammerhead yet? Space Above and Beyond was awesome.

At 1:12 is that a torpedo? That isn’t one of the 4 launchers that you talked about. Also an intrepid class isn’t outfitted as standard with tri-cobalt devices.

My favourite part of the Intrepid-class has always been and always will be in Star Trek Online when Harry Kim is flushed out into space in the Delta Recruit expansion.

Your Star Trek videos are the best.

I was introduced to this ship at the borg 4d thing in Vegas as a kid she was beautiful voyager would end up becoming my favorite trek and I think the ship had a lot to do with it. Just seemed like the ship to be on it was fast high tech and looked cooler than the galaxy

I like the idea of biological gel packs, but I don't buy the speed increase. The nerves in our body are far slower than electronic circuitry. I forget what the speed of nerves is, but I understand that if we didn't have an amazing ability to almost predict what's going to happen a brief moment into the future (like "muscle memory") we would exist in a state of perpetual clumsiness.

The Intrepid-class also utilised shuttle vending machines to carry ridiculous amounts of disposable shuttles.

By far my favourite star trek ship.

It's funny how the Intrepid Class Starship is just 39 meters longer than the Constitution Class Refit Class that was 305 meters in length.

Has to be my favorite Star Trek design,

Have to say, you really don't understand the intrepids versatility until it's all explained at once. Plus, I love the utopia planetia scene. Wish they would have more like that!

Possibly my favorite Star Trek ship design.

Ya'know, as I recall, before STO, this ship was actually described as a tactical ship, not a science one. Something that makes a lot more sense based on the fact it carries a Galaxy class's level of firepower in an ship less than half the size.

As a show voyager might have been lacking, but damn did it give us a pretty ship.

the little legs are so silly xD

Half a Yeager.... nice.

🖖😎👍Very cool and very well done and informative indeed...
