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.

The intrepid class has always been my favourite ship in all of Trek, with the obvious Sovereign class coming in at a close second …… however this new class is Amazing, even though we don’t know a lot about it, this is slowly becoming no.1 favourite. Such a perfect homage to the OG USS Voyager 😊
i'm sure the Hestia will be to, i'm going to be fucking SQUEALING like a girl if it'S the case, cuz if that happens...the U.S.S Legend will be canon :D
I think the producers of Picard took the criticism of the copy-paste fleet in season 1 to heart and the easiest way to bolster their inventory of ship designs was just to port them over from STO.
I like the idea that the voyager A existed at the same time as the origenal Voyager and was commissioned to memorialise the lost crew and for a while both were opperating at the same time.
@@Kidozy no, -A is the second one or a refit major enough to count as a new ship(for example the NCC-1701 being refit into constitution II class and being redesignated NCC-1701A because the refit was so extensive almost nothing of the original ship was carried over)
@@dodecahedron1 Er, no? Enterprise A was just a new Conie Class they had remaned from something else. The OG 1701 was refit to Connie II and didn't get an A designation until it's successor was introduced. Now, A better example of what you're saying is Discoery. When she recieved her refit, she was assigned the A. Although that was due more to Starfleet not wanting to admit that they lied about Discovery's destruction.
@@jasonwestwood7092 Ah yes, the motto of any good Explorer expected to be away from home for quite some time; "Carry a big microscpe and an even bigger gun." ~some science guy who grew up on CoD, probably
really like the attention to detail of the location of the impulse drives in multiple directions, I always found the lack of those in ships weird considering how they move in the series
Wow, I think the Pathfinder class might even be my new favourite. I love that hull shape and the (for lack of a better term) colouring, and I always love the small-moderate sized science ships that fit a huge amount of awesome tech into a dignified frame without much pomp and circumstance. It's capabilities stand for itself rather than grandeur or size.
The Pathfinder is easily in the top five most beautiful ships that Star Trek Online ever produced. It most certainly deserves to be canonized, so I'm thrilled with this.
If memory serves this was the first ship Thomas Marrone made for STO as well! He's been on quite a journey, from early UI designer, to STO ship designer, to now being behind canon designs including the Enterprise.
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.
Besides the Pathfinder, I really do love all the ship designs in STO that serve as updates to designs we know and love. Classes like the Adamant, Andromeda, Yamato, Equinox, Hestia, Sutherland, Reliant, Alita, Grissom, and Nobel just to name a few.
I really like the nacelles being lower instead of the older style of higher. I've always liked the way almost every Star Trek ship looks when you flip it over. The Pathfinder and Trailblazer are a step in that direction.
The Voyager-B is a cool design. It also has some elements of Rick Sternbach's concept version of Voyager. The position of the nacelles is why I say that. I wonder if we'll actually see it. I hope we really do see the original Voyager, the Enterprise-A, the Defiant (DS9), the supposed Enterprise-D (probably just saucer) at the Fleet Museum. We might not see that until the finale. I hope the finale will be a couple hours long. I also hope we see the Enterprise-F in more than just one episode.
I'm imagining a potential Seven of Nine spin off show, where she promotes to captain and takes charge of the Voyager B. That would be an amazing sight to behold! This is a beautiful ship.
The pathfinder class is my favorite ship design from STO -if not all of Star Trek-. It has a special place in my heart and I can't wait to possibly see more of it c:
I love how the Voy-B's nacelles bring to mind the design of the Titan-A's. I also have an idea of how the writers could easily deal with the front-loading of too many legacy ships too fast: they could simply have Starfleet realize it's going too far with them and simply do away with legacy registrations for a substantial period of time (a number of centuries).
Thank you so very much for highlighting this ship, this is seriously one of my favorite and the best in canon. I also love the Trailblazer variant as well.
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.
That would be the type of ship that I would love to command in the future. Exploration, to be the first to see what we have not seen and to show the others that follow the beauty of what is yet to come.
Yeah....I wonder about that too, because by Picard's time, that would have been invented on it's own by now, so they can't use "future technology" as a reason to suppress it.
As updates to older classes go, I really appreciate how this one really pushes the design boundaries, rather than just looking like a 25th-century skin on a classic skeleton (Ross and Reliant classes especially come to mind).
I really like the Pathfinder class. It is a true real feeling progression from the Intrepid class. It feels natural. It keeps many elements of the look of the Intrepid and upgraded with much of the technology Voyager brought home.
It wont take much to replace Voyager with this Voyager-B in STO, i'm sure there's only a few lines of dialogue where they mention Voyagers age which would have to be removed and they could still have admiral Tuvok as a stand in captain as im sure there's a line saying "what the admiral wants the admiral gets" in regards to Tuvok
Why do they have to keep retconning, though? The may have to switch out the whole Klingon-war, and maybe the Undine too, at this rate. Why not just have alternate campaigns, too?
Overall design inspiration from the Intrepid class but with additional influences from Nova class and the rear of the secondary hull looks like a class 2 shuttle.
It's not a bad looking ship though I feel the upper shuttle bay could be longer to help the lines flow better towards the end. Also the 1 forward, 3 aft torpedo arrangement is just odd. Either balance it out or have most of your tubes facing forward.
I really enjoy the idea that Star Trek Online is set in its own very similar but alternate timeline to what we see in Picard and the Prime timeline - a separation occurred somewhere in the period between Voyager's return and the events canonically added in Picard. 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
I have this ship. The shuttle under the saucer detaches and helps with phasers and quantum torpedoes. Its bugged though. Doesn't seem to follow you to the next batch of enemies
Damn i love the deflector strip design so much, i know it's been taken straight from the dauntless, but it looks incredibly sleek. Also the secondary deflector is nice.
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
Voyager was a literal gold mine of technology collection. They succeeded in adapting a lot of stuff to the ship. If they can do that no where near a shipyard. Id hope Starfleet engineers could improve it all quickly in dry dock builds.
I think the Intrepid Class Starship might be the most perfect 1st Contact star ship the federation ever had. It can defend itself but its not huge like a galaxy class or similar.
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 grew up and remain in pretty bad poverty for the United States at least, but if I had money, Rick, i would spend it on your career to help you do this full time all the time. Youre so good at this
Just out of curiosity, is there a design principle for Federation ships? Or is it just a vague guide? I am wondering what constitutes a Federation or Star Fleet design limitation for aesthetics. Some of the things I wonder at is the amount of change that has happened with Star Fleet ships over the shows and movies. All look great, even the Grissom, and some I am very fond of like the TMP Enterprise, and Voyagers ship, but they look very different.
Someone online once characterized Starfleet as designing "breakfast ships" - a pancake (the saucer) and three sausages (the nacelles and engineering hull). Some stretch the pancake, some have five sausages instead of three, but they all look like breakfast.
New favorite starship. I would like to see my favorite shuttle(deltaflyer) to get a rework like this, my dad's right the scoop in the front on top is a bad design, it should continue in its profile but just have a slight dip for attitude.
The Trailblazer is very rememiniscent of the "warship Voyager" from that one time the Docter gets reactivated as a relic/museum piece in an alternate future.
I thought the movable warp nacelles of the Intrepid class were a last-minute compromise to address the damaging effects of TNG-era warp fields? Why on earth would a post-VOY era ship need warp pylons that need to move before warp drive can be engaged, except as an homage to the Intrepid?
Looks great from the top, but other angles aren't so hot. That said, I get a strong feeling it's a design I'd grow to love as time goes on. That's certainly the route Voyager took -- I used to make fun of it all the time back in the day ("the spoon hurrr hurrr"), but nowadays it's in my top 5. :)
we barely saw the Odyssey class in Picard, the Ent-F is based on. hold your horses, but id assume it would be the next gen slipstream ship, to replace the pathfinder class, considering the Ent F will get a refit, for slipstream based on beta canon, once the NX variants pass the proving ground stages for the Pathfinder class.
@@dustinherk8124 Its likely the ENT-G will be a modification of the Oddessy perhaps a Lexington Class or a Oddessy similar to the Terran Empire's from STO
A bit odd that the variable geometry nacelles do the exact opposite of what I think they are supposed to. Aren't they supposed to have line of sight at warp?
Would like to see Voyager series continuation with this ship and later season with the upgrades done (maybe similar with Enterprise when far out they built their upgrade, the beamwepon, from blueprints).
Gotta love the fact that not only the Odyssey has made it into picard, NO! They added this here Pathfinder, The Armitage among other ships (AND a Reman shielded one (No Starfleet vessel is somewhere GREEN and has that kind of "window's" or lights!) from STO.
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
Odyssey - Sovereign 2 Pathfinder - Intrepid 2 Neo-Constitution is obvious Luna Class kindddaaa NXish in shape? California Class - Miranda 2 Wonder if we’ll get ships that are basically Galaxy 2 and Defiant 2
I'm just hoping the Voyager B being a Pathfinder class starship means the Voyager A will be Bellerophon class. Whilst Pathfinder isn't my favourite 2410 design (that would be the Sutherland), Bellerophon is my favourite 2409 design and the flow from Intrepid to Bellerophon to Pathfinder is a really sleek transition.
I'm curious to see what the Voyager-A could be, if we see it in Prodigy season 2. Trailblazer makes more sense to me, Starfleet needs more teeth. Especially after Picard season 3 episode 2, still outgunned by random bad guys.
If there's a Voyager B then surely there should be a Voyager A especially as Star Trek Discovery tells us that by the early 31st century there's a Voyager J.
One thing about the Pathfinder class in particular that has me very curious: the warp nacelles look like very stylized Constitution Refit nacelles...I wonder why that is?
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.

All thanks to Neelix' book "Leola Root and you - 100 ways to prepare."
Pathfinder goes and finds the way for the Odyssey to follow.
I wonder if they left all of Neelix's own famous Talaxian such and such recipe for whatever emotional issue the crewmember might be having

Gotta love the fact that not only the Odyssey has made it into picard, NO! They added this here Pathfinder, The Armitage among other ships (AND a Reman shielded one (No Starfleet vessel is somewhere GREEN and has that kind of "window's" or lights!) from STO.
I wonder, is the lower deflector actually a deflector at all, or is it entirely dedicated to slipstream field generation?
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
I like the downward swept engines.
I would like to know what happened to the Bio-neural gel packs.
Odyssey - Sovereign 2
Pathfinder - Intrepid 2
Neo-Constitution is obvious
Luna Class kindddaaa NXish in shape?
California Class - Miranda 2
Wonder if we’ll get ships that are basically Galaxy 2 and Defiant 2
Sao Paulo is kinda Defiant 2...
Sojourner class (T6 Odyssey variant) is kindaaaa like Galaxy 2...
@@aiosquadron cool!
It kinda reminds me of captain Kim's ship from voyager finale
I'm just hoping the Voyager B being a Pathfinder class starship means the Voyager A will be Bellerophon class.
Whilst Pathfinder isn't my favourite 2410 design (that would be the Sutherland), Bellerophon is my favourite 2409 design and the flow from Intrepid to Bellerophon to Pathfinder is a really sleek transition.
I'm curious to see what the Voyager-A could be, if we see it in Prodigy season 2. Trailblazer makes more sense to me, Starfleet needs more teeth. Especially after Picard season 3 episode 2, still outgunned by random bad guys.
I recently made a new character to play science ships, and now I know what ship I'm aiming for at the end game.
From discription "was the Voyager NCC-7656-B" Isn't it NCC-74656-B?
Any chance you can review what there is on the future ship pack?
do you have one on the saber class
If there's a Voyager B then surely there should be a Voyager A especially as Star Trek Discovery tells us that by the early 31st century there's a Voyager J.
There is, but we have yet to see it on screen, it existed between 2383 and 2401. I'm hyped to see what they design!
Doesn’t the pathfinder class look kinda like Klingon vor’cha class attack cruiser?
One thing about the Pathfinder class in particular that has me very curious: the warp nacelles look like very stylized Constitution Refit nacelles...I wonder why that is?
“It makes it look all sciencey to me!” As all random blue glows should 😌
Does it land, though?
I hope in Picard they have the captain be one of the Lower Deckers’. Captain Tendi perhaps as she’s the science one
I love the ship design, just one point I absolutely despise; the articulated nacelle struts.
My main Sci toon has a Pathfinder. But as far as looks go, I prefer the Bellerophon skin for aesthetics.
