Kirk Jacobson LOL agreed! He will appreciate the sleekness of the design and all the cool Tech Incorporated into possibly the most capable shuttlecraft ever! :)

Kavinsky Smith yep it's actually a regulation worldwide in all Aviation and many other kinds of ships and planes that green is starboard and red is port for the reasons you just described that if you're heading towards something either in the air or on the water you can tell immediately whether the vessel is coming or going and always to tend to starboard to avoid collisions. I think it was great that Trek incorporated this from the very beginning into their Starships; it lends just one more detail of realism to signify Port vs. starboard two other ships nearby while navigating in close quarters. You'll also often see this repeated near docking stations and shuttle bay doors and other places where navigation needs to be very clear and universally understood.

It does but the door is a ramp combo.

L. Cleveland Major very well stated in a great explanation about navigational lights! they can be very crucial especially in close-quarter navigation such as in space dock or landing shuttles. As you said this has been a logical carryover in Star Trek from Earth convention so I'm not sure why suddenly it would not be part of this design. As you said that would be a design flaw in an otherwise interesting and functional evolution of shuttlecraft.

The orientation of the red & green lights also tell you if a ship is coming or going, red on the left means it is moving away, green on the left means it's coming towards you. Of course, since there is no horizon line in space, and ships can be "upside down", this function is completely lost for space ships...

Vulkans and Andorians adopted it because it made some sense.

@@barrybend7189 I would say Vulcans were the first to adopt the protocol; but being a prideful people, they may have only done so after seeing the Andorians do so, not wishing to be contrary, so to speak. Yes it does make a lot of sense. In this case, it allows everybody to orient their ships according to a common direction (which way is up?).

oh? why not ^.^

power543 in your last video it said your next video would be in a week, but. Ow I know you meant part 2 😊

nope :) videos every Saturday/Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday and most fridays! :)

Yeah, I do see that. X3

Yeah, I found that interesting. Starfleet seems to be fairly vain at times.

The Mark II can tuck you in at night with a built in holographic companion to keep you company on long trips. Makes a great cup of coffee too.

You forgot the infinite coffee cup.

Not really - ever wondered why the Enterprise J has no Phaser Strips ? Voyager pretty much tells you the direction of Federation Technology for the next few decades and then Enterprise provided some more clues on top too. Incidentally this isn't the same kinda of amour as The Defiant has though both burn the substance away - The Future armour replaces what is lost in real time (to some degree) but you can see it was having some trouble with the Borg after they started to adapt to it. Since it's essentially a solid projection the projection could be tuned just like shields can be to be more effective to counter-adapt to weapons fire or even layer energy inside the matter in layers. Or even throw chunks off if off and replace them if it needs to. It's more like a Replicator that makes armour and beams it to the outside of the ship maintaining the integrity as long as the power/ matter conversion systems last. It's a form of Particle synthesis and a a slightly different version of the same tech is what replaces a lot of other ships systems in later generations of Starships. Holographic armour is a thing but it uses different emitters (they are a gird pattern) and are more camouflage than direct armour - but they are related technologies, One question would be would or should the armour stay in place if the power fails or would it vanish - I personally think it should remain - but I suspect they'd make it disappear simply as it looks cooler to do that and is convenient for the story to show the armour fail and disappear. I don't think it would be a huge problem adapting the technology as it's clearly not going to allow a ship to function full speed and some kinds of electromagnetic and particle shields would work better against some things anyway - this armour is mainly useful for weapons fire or plasma storm protection and not so much against being hit with rocks say. I can see this providing good protection in the bad lands for example. I don't think it's a killer ap - any more than metaphasic shields are/were

90 Lancaster everything Voyager brought back would be adapted. No retcons needed. I also feel like the federation would study the crap out of everything Voyager brought back before using any of it. Then there would be the political side of things. Using the future tech technically violates the temporal prime directive also the federation suddenly becoming so advanced from all the other tech, especially militarily, would throw off the balance of power in the alpha, beta, and gamma quadrant. As we all know the federation would rather have peace over armaments.

we do for some things yes :)

The Borg weren't familiar with the technology. Hence why Janeway gave them the armor.

While yes the armor was failing against Borg direct energy weapons it was still intact and still more than good enough t withstand a simple exterior explosion, even if that same explosion was in the interior of the Borg ship.

nope that has nothing to do with it :) its 100% the strips around the ship :)

I'd imagine the armor generators were prototypical at this point, or at least Starfleet only wanted to deploy it under certain circumstances, just given how OP it was (and how easily it could fall into enemy hands)

it was a standard federation starship, the Armour was specialized admiral level anti borg tech that Janeway stole. I doubt it would be on only 1/2 ships tat that time and they would be like the promethious type and such.

+power543 I was under the impression that the Ablative Generator was invented by Janeway and/or the crew of Voyager in the alternate timeline to fight the Borg. Struggle makes one strong, after all.

With new updated Visual Effects? I'm down for that.

I'd be fine with a new script then

It's a shame DS9 & Voyager were never granted movies.

Well DS9 is a Spacestation, and the Defiant is probably to small to be "cool" and The Voyager had the same Problem as the Enterprise-D, it looked to friendly.

Indeed Janeway was robbed of the chance to strand her crew in a different part of the galaxy

From the people who created them. They're friends with the designers.

We got everything directly from the CGI people behind the shows, none of these ships are available publically and we pride ourselves on having a large archive to ensure that we can make the show the best that is possible, We will never publically release any models as they are not ours to do so with, and we have been trusted with them and that is a solemn responsibility! so enjoy the nre renders here on Trekyards!

Thanks for the info.

That's one of the great advantages of being a fan of this show is we get to see actual models used in the shows that no one else has access to, which allows the kind of detailed discussion and analysis of the actual ships that really can't be rivaled anywhere else. I feel very fortunate to have found Trekyards and to be able to see ships not only from Star Trek but from many shows presented in the kind of detail that was never possible before. That comes with being a "ship fan" I think, the love of delving into the details! And many of those details are only available here exclusively so I am very thankful that fellow fans at Trekyards share this exclusive material with the rest of us that are into the details and analysis of ship design. Plus offering different renders and angles of the ships with lighting that best compliments them allowing the kind of detailed look we've become accustomed to here, which requires a lot of computer time and creativity from the crew. Having the model is one thing but being able to present it is a whole 'nother skill set that requires a lot of time and artistic ability. Combine that with the research done with as much canon information available and you really have the closest thing to a definitive Starship and Technology database that can be considered "official" that is available anywhere. I mean when you have a line of communication with the actual designers in many cases it doesn't get much more official than that! LOL Thanks so much to Captain Foley and Commander Cockings for consistently offering this truly unique and high quality product, especially at such a frequent pace. Proud to be a supporter and would encourage anyone else that appreciates this kind of quality and truly unique material to consider becoming an official supporter as well. It only takes a couple minutes on Patreon to give a few dollars a month for the hours of information and entertainment that Trekyards provides; that is an extraordinary bargain in my estimation. :) Cheers!

nope :) the pod on the top was the time travel device, is is all of the small emmiters that gererate the armoud.

Cant do HD Conversions on Voyager...has to be re-done. We on Trekyards will be making some HD versions of some original Voyager scenes for you all to enjoy! :) and yes we will cover the voth city ship.

Its basically replicated plates using replicator tech and transporters to position (so incredibly energy intensive) but it was a cool concept.

Watcher Zero that's what I thought, has to be based on transporter/replicator tech. holographic armor, armor made from force fields and light, so shields with fancy graphics. that just sounds silly even by star trek standards.

Holographic technology or 'Holo fields' is used by the Eldar in the 40k universe, it doesn't so much protect a ship as confuse an enemies sensors (across all spectrum including visible light) to think its in a different position which makes hitting it a lot harder, when you combine that with their ships high speed and manoeuvrability you have to saturate an area with fire in the hope of landing a hit. Arguably not as good as the Imperial void shield technology which opens a small blackhole to swallow the fire and convert it in to energy that's temporarily stored in capacitors and then dissipated in to the Warp (another dimension), though the Imperial void shields are very good with energy weapons they struggle with large volume/quantity of physical rounds as the energy required to be dissipated from the conversion of mass to energy is huge causing them to overload and possibly explode. The other races to use shields the Ork (called Energy Fields) it functions a lot like the Holtzman shield in Dune it slows or potentially stops fast moving objects while allowing slow ones to pass through. The Tau shields are gravity shields essentially projecting a dense wedge shaped opposing gravity well that slows and/or deflects the incoming beam/projectile.

Hi

All good things was a good finale, it had the same spirit of the TNG show. Endgame wasn't great, but it wasn't bad, just OK.

Kavinsky Smith I have to disagree with you on this one my friend. I found the finale very well written with plot twists that actually surprised me and a level of detail and storytelling that wasn't always consistent in the rest of the series. Yes there are some issues like why didn't she go back to when the ship went into the Badlands in the first place but overlooking things like that I was very happy with the production value and performances from the actors and I really do feel like it ended the series very well and personally I prefer it to the end of the Next Generation and certainly more than Enterprise or Deep Space Nine. I'm not saying the series itself was better I just prefer its finale. But I do certainly understand why others would strongly disagree!
