Not gonna lie, that was some very cleaver editing putting Scotty and that "season 1" Admiral (I forget his name) in a conversation like that. Very well done! Also, I like that Scotty was included in the Excalibur's design. Sure, he was an "old head", but the man was smart as a whip so I imagine he had little trouble absorbing the new technology concepts into his cranium.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)
well Scotty was the one who rebuild the Theseus, that man is a genius and beyond..
so this is one of these ships who came in for a refit and came out all sovereign class
Lol indeed! Lol
I was in love with the Excalibur Class for the longest time. I remember it being the flagship for STO, shown in all the ads and promotional material. As one of many constitution redesigns, its one of my favs. It wasn't until i upgraded my ship that i realized how small it looked next to me on STO.
Good times :)
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics I remember the early game in those days gave up a Saber as our first ship and I worked hard to get my next command as a Excalibur. Ah a new cadet made captain due to Borg attacking. These days my girl the "Command Battlecruiser" is all that i need now. I got all the parts to design my own custom ship that has elements of the Excalibur and Excelsior, while most like DPS builds, i love tank/support builds.
I haven’t forgotten the Excalibur! It was the ship that convinced me to pre-order STO, the ship skin my T6 Temporal Light Cruiser has worn since the day I unpacked it, and the only ship I repeatedly wrote to Eaglemoss to request. I really hope Fanhome makes one to celebrate STO!
Yes Id love a lil model of it myself!
This and the Noble class, the poster children for STO in it's earliest days!
I can see production of the Exacilbur class continuing with those further afield within Federation Territory, it was probably cheaper to build and its heritage would make it popular amongst new shipbuilding member worlds.
Who needs a Neo-Constitution when you have this beauty!
I've always been a fan of Star Trek's small & quirky ships.
What I absolutely adore about this is that it feeds that part of my fandom of wanting to know the details of things like federation (and other species/nations) infrastructure and day-to-day operational roles that this class fits the need for
Well Im happy to be feeding your hunger! :)
Very solid traditional design. Good stuff.👍
One of the unsung hero classes out there:)
I remember this well due to that great STO artwork.
The Excalibur Class will have its day. keep bringing great videos like this to fans of this channel.
TBH, the Sovereign is a tough act to follow. And lots of great Sov beauty shots here too!
This was a fun episode. I gotta say I do dig the design of this ship. The lore for the ship was interesting too.
Nice and epic ship I think the Terran Rebellion could build this ship to augment its Defiant class Battle Frigates
Lovely ship. I want one.
A lovely ship ❤
Indeed!
very nice Truth OR Myth Beta. like this video
Many many thanks Dom :)
Speaking of STO. What I’ve sometimes done is put the Nacelles of the Excalibur class onto a Constitution II. Lovely ship, the Excalibur.
Wait you were a STO beta tester that’s pretty cool and great story for the Excalibur
Yes I was... the good old days... lol
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics yup simpler days
One of my favourite ships in the early days of STO
Fantastic video really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it
The Excalibur is my flagship in STO, safe to say that the tholians went home empty handed
I prefer this class over the one we got from picard
Does the captain have to remove the ship from a stone?
Lol, how'd you guess? Lol
@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics it was either that or some bint in a puddle would hand it out....
@@yodaslovetoy They thought of that, but they were afraid the Federation Citizens would start yelling about the violence inherent in the system.
There's a USS Pegasus joke in here somewhere.....
I think that some of the SNW enterprise design was taken by this Excalibur design. With the way the impulse engines are placed and the rear of the secondary hull where the main shuttle bay looked very similar
It wasn't, it was merely it's own evolution of the TOS design!
God bless the constitution linage
It's a shame some of the early ships weren't scalable for a long time. Good to see some lore on some of the forgotten ships. Thsnk you.
Btw, did you ever cover the Exeter Class?
I like the Exeter class quite a bit
They should make a new Star Trek series with Picard son in command of one of these Star ships after all he said he was a connie refit kind of guy . They could CG Scotty into the first mission chatting with him on his first mission as a friend of the family
Its not a bad looking ship. for me the neck needs adjusting as the proportions seem off ( as per the Sovereign underside I think it needs some supports reaching up to compliment its swoop) . The secondary hull lines also I feel need a bit more "meat-on-the-bones". The nacelle supports need tweak too imo. However the space frame over all has a good look
Im a big fan on both the refit and the sovereign the Excalibur is a cool addition
I like this ship already
This is the first time I’ve seen this class. I like it. The pylons aren’t my favorite, but they’re OK.
it's the kind of ship I would want to command😊
It's a great design!
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics it's proof that just because a design is old it doesn't mean it can't be of use given the right updates
🖖
🖖
But were they retrofitted with *Fleet Formation Mode* for the 2401 Frontier Day?
Captain Calhoun's ship!
Calhoun's ship was an Ambassador-class heavy cruiser and her replacement was a Galaxy-class.
I wonder if that now means we will see the other connie variants of sto getting videos i want to see how you would fit the vesper and exeter on cannon.
Just out of curiosity, have you ever done a video on the Decatur/Belknap class tactical cruiser? I have Starship Design Volume XXXiV number one, and it's a featured ship there
The only thing that bothers me is that in my opinion the secondary Hull looks a bit small compared to the rest of the ship.
Will there be a Exeter-class?
Eventually!
If you hear a heavy cruiser version of the Sovereign Class that uses the design of this ship as a base, can anyone estimate how long, width and height this ship would be?
Is there a Montgomery Scott class?
Sir I have a idea for Section 31 ship in between inspired by the Crossfield to honor the USS Discovery I dub the Aegis class plus later Aegis Mark II with everything
😊👊💪🖖👍🍻
I sincerely love the Excalibur class. I feel like as a design it had so much potential. Your fanfic of the class's development and history does it so much justice.
Its not fanfic, it's Beta Canon with date changes to conform with canon!
I don't think captain Freeman would approve of this class
LOL
Wasnt an idea behind this design that it was a way too powerful warp core for its design so it cord devert power to weapons or shields etc really fast?
Nvm re watched the vid you mentioned it
All good :)
What about the Vesper of the Ambassador era?
What about it?
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics it's forgotten and should be remembered. Especially when it's an early sto ship.
No design is EVER forgotten on this channel! You should know that...
I like what you've done but I think you could have Incorporated some parts of the Constitution 3 or Neo Constitution near the end of the video with this vessel being an inspiration and stepping off point to reinvent the Constitution class into the Neo Constitution or AKA Constitution Mark 3 due to its design I think that could have easily worked for the Excalibur history
No, because this class had nothing to do with the Connie III, so why would I lie? There's a difference between altering dates to conform with canon, and completely making up the story that already exists...
Make the secondary hall a bit bigger in whip move the nasal's back forward a bit and the ship would have been a lot more sleeker..
Well as its a STO design, you need to talk to them about that, not me! Personally, I think it's great as is!
Not of my favorites, however has an innegable Constitution class look.
it is a nice ship. but. it looks like the impulse engines are pointed at the warp nacelles. fix that and it would be perfect
Uhmmm this is a STO ship, like the intro said... So any changes, direct it at them, not me!
Interesting design... a bit on the small side for the era.
No it isnt, see Saber, Defiant, Nova, Intrepid etc etc
I think you got the specs wrong and how we never seen this ship in any of the series?
Nope, the Specs are 100% accurate and it's never been seen on screen!
Hella lot better looking than the🤢 G 🤢
Meh, not overly impressive.
I would’ve loved to see the Excalibur class in Picard. Sadly that show was just wasted potential.
No it wasn't... Just because you didn't care for it, doesnt make it's potential wasted... You should learn to think in ways that are not so selfish!
What an awful ship. The designer just downloaded pictures of all previous trek hero ships and pressed the remix button!
100% Disagree!
Beyond Fantastic!
I gotta get into STO again
