James P: On the Borg cube, about to be assimilated? Wheres the closest bathroom, cause I'm gonna poop my pants...😉

If you wait to be assimilated , you can know all the secrets!!!

The English get assimilated. Then a tea urn gets put in every alcove.

Resistance is futuail

Beta-canon coming up, subject to rewrite by the series and movies: The Sovereign was the hero ship in the second half of the Bridge Commander video game (still the best Trek game IMO) after the Galaxy-class Dauntless (NCC-17879) got destroyed. The Sovereign's registry number in that game was NCC-73811 (and NX-90201 before the class went into production). Beta canon also claims that the Enterprise-E was originally supposed to be the USS Honorius.

I agree. Enterprise E would be the second Sovereign-class starship

From what I know from Beta Canon, the first of any new ship class is a "test bed" for the class. Thus the Constitution was an NX class during test phases. When the new class gets an okay, it's somewhat of a tradition to "retire" the prototype, give it an active NCC number & use new names for all future ships of the line. The exceptions in "real" canon are Excelsior (test bed for a new type of warp signature & pseudo battle cruiser. Refitted w/a "corrected" faster & more efficient warp engine system, then given an NCC classification under its prototype name), Defiant (Defiant was a test bed for an anti-Borg "Fast Attack" ship, but defaults kept it from being qualified for use. They were later fixed & sent to DS9 as a perimeter defense ship).

Only Exception is the NX Class Enterprise was the first of that one

What ship was also in that class?

I have double feelings about it. I think it depends whether I'm technically correct or incorrect 🤣

Beurocrat Conrad, I completely agree!

Go back to Stargate!

@@charndeepbhangoo7556 bow before your god!

StarTrek 5 , Enterprise A had 78 decks.

instablaster...

That was his best bit. He makes a great point about the E being a part of the Voyagers return escort fleet.

not to mention Picard is first and foremost a diplomat, a skill that would be needed after the war to help broker the peace agreement.

Pretty sure it was just the camera man/ship....😏

Narratively, it was the most convenient to have worf come in the Defiant because they needed him in the movie and it was established that the defiant was built to fight borg, so it would be silly to not have it at the big borg fight.

Yeah that would be cool

The Romulan Warbird is my favourite!

Bird of Prey too, even though they're pretty tiny.

I second this.

You could start with the Romulan Bird of Prey and the classic Klingon D-7 battlecruiser.

A romulan warbird would be good

@@robertblanke2878cxv f

Ferengi marauder would be great

1:55 yeah.. I had to pause the video to confirm that's what I was seeing lolz

That game is epic especially with the mods. I remember trying to download the 1.1 patch on a dial up connection, would always disconnect at about 68% lol!

Thus Enterptise is the SECOND of the class

@@paulrasmussen8953 Yes, and in some novels and forum posts and the like, the ship was supposedly previously named USS Honorious.

I used to love manually phasing the saucer sections of other ships in skirmishes when I had disabled them. I loved burning lines across them haha

when is that game going to get a hd remaster or sequel awesome game one of the best

Yep, NX-73811, launched maybe 2370.

Depending on the Stage Bridge commander is modded,you even get to play the Sovereign in two states(as NX and NCC) NX Sovereign for example has the same deflector dish design,except blue,blue impuls engines,and more orange Bussard collectors (it would not make much sense timeline whise that the sovereign is still an NX at that point,unless it was used for technology testing) NCC Sovereign,again,depending on mods,is either a slightly less dark painted Nemesis version,or the Insurrection one..Either way,its far better armed than the NX Sovereign

From the perspective of Data's evil brother?

I think he covered that one already.

@@roboticcynic580 OK, cool. Just must not be in the playlist, then. Thanks.

@@roboticcynic580 Nope, not yet

Yea I've seen that as well,

Yes. They recycled the E-D model thinking it would remain a Galaxy class.

True, but Adm. Picard could have expended a lot of political capital and made Worf Captain before he resigned from Starfleet. Plus, maybe Riker and Ezri Dax vouched for Worf, too. Sisko was still in the Wormhole, so he couldn’t argue his point in person.

In one of the books, Capt Picard says he respects Capt Sisko’s judgement but he believes Worf deserves to be promoted and makes him his first officer.

@@captdru1893 It wasn't Captain Sisko's judgement, it was starfleet's.

Yeah and that is what happened to the Enterprise-E during her 1st year of service. Captain Bateson/Frasier lol. Took her out on a shake down and then decided to use it to attack the Klingon Empire. Just to loss the Enterprise to them and they took it to attack Cardassia Prime. It was all in the book Ship of The Line as gap filler for generations to first contact.

@The 1Summoner it's technically "soft-canon" as the stories there are official and approved by CBS, but would be overwritten by any events occurring in shows/movies. So until something conflicts, the events of STO stand.

The F is for failure. It's a Star Trek on line fan contest winning entry and I does look the part.

The Enterprise "turkey" design would have fit in with the November release.

I thought the original TOS Enterprise had 22 decks.i know it's primary hull had 11 decks.

I have the " First Contact " model of Enterprise E. There is no captain' s yacht. I bought the model when " First contact" was new.

BBBBBBBBB

@@johnbockelie3899 It had 21 to 23 decks (the latter said in DS9) in original form. Depending who you ask, Excelsior, and Enterprise-B, have 24 or 32 decks (if the ship was say, Sovereign sized, or the decks were five foot high, ahem)

And the underrated 2150's era Intrepid class we briefly see occasionally.

As usual with the military, they found a cheaper manufacturer.

@@peterkapunkt6783 Works for me.

Any idea how much for?

im sorry no i love the ENTERPRISE-E but if it means a s2 of picard then no...if it officle that there will be a s2 the hell yes

It was according to the RPG basically they started to design the Sovereign class shortly after the Dominion destroyed a Galaxy Class. They realised that war was almost inevitable, and that the Galaxy Class while a decent vessel for it's role was flawed, so they started work on it's replacement.

Not to mention I think its mentioned in the background somewhere that the Enterprise E was originally called the USS Sentinel, but was renamed after the Enterprise D was destroyed. Its not like Starfleet doesn't do this on the regular anyway - they did it with the Enterprise A (originally the Yorktown or the Ti-Ho, depending on sources) and Defiant (Sao Paulo, though oddly the Defiant A isn't ever referenced as that, and weirdly should be the Defiant B in any case since there was a USS Defiant Constitution...).Ent

@@andyme3541 Still a pretty tight frame of period to design and build it. Revise a planned design, maybe? And I heard same, for re-name, except it was the USS Honorious previously.

@@chrissonofpear1384 Actually I may have made a small mistake, I'll dig out the rule book to check. I did they actually started work on the design of the ship the year before they discovered the Bajorian Wormhole, it was started as a Deep Space Exploration Vessel better able to handle deep space threats such as the Borg, so it's more a kin to the Defiant and the Akira Class. Which actually when you think about it makes sense, three classes of Ship in different Weight Classes, the Defiant a heavy Gun ship, likely stationed at a Space Station in peacetime like we see it on the show, heavy fire power but not built for long deployments. The Akira a heavier Patrol ship able to handle Months out in space. Then the Sovereign A Deep Space Exploration Ship, able to go years away from Port, if need be, and packing enough firepower to handle threats like the Borg at least long enough to get away. Through in my defence it is likely they gave it a greater priority after the Dominion Encounter. As we did see that Star Fleet had started to back away from the new ships it had designed when the Borg didn't come back after Wolf.

@@andyme3541 Hmm, which RPG company is it? Decipher? Last Unicorn? Modiphius?

The other reason given, which is a call-back to a TNG episode, is that the Intrepid-class of starship was designed with variable geometry nacelle pylons due to the damage higher warp velocities were doing to subspace in many regions. This geometry change was said to affect the warp field/bubble shape, ergo affecting the stresses place upon the region of subspace being interacted with during FTL travel.

STO is the closest we get to canon. I have a lifer sub.

And a seatbelt for the captain. Don't forget that.

Glad that's not canon... starfleet ships don't suit purple...
