We like Rick. Rick explain things. He help us get warp drive. Warp drive make us go.
Make us go fast!
@@josipbroztito6763 Dat eazy! Red 'uns go faster!
@@Hurmeri i thought clear made me "go faster" 🤣🤣🤣
But not Rick Berman
Be like Rick
The Gorn - their rock throwing and rock defense technology is second to none. ;)
Yeah, they rock!
And they do it with *stone* cold temper.
When you started taking about "Romulan VPNs", I honestly thought you were going to segway into a promotion!
Honestly, it would have been perfect for a Romulan themed spoof sponsorship. Something like idk..."Winged Defender - Anti Virus Suite(tm). Made by Tal Shiar cyber security experts. Your computer's cloaking device against galactic malware."
We all know the obsidian order could hack it
*segue
Haha nice
“Romulan’s would marvel at the capability of Nord VPN…”
I've always seen the UFP founders as Humans = Diplomats /Jack of all trades. Andorians = warfare/defence specialists. Vulcans = scientific prowess. Tellarites = Engineering/building prowess.
I second what you’ve posited here.
I was wondering about Andorians and Tellarites.
My head canon is that the Andorians took the human phase cannon design and combined the tech with their own (probably Nadion based) particle weapon design. Making a surprise improvement in power and versatility which quickly becomes the main weaponry of Andorian ships, before Starfleet adopts the Phaser design for their own ships.
@@originaluddite if you watch ENT youll see the militaristic culture of andorians
@@cosmosyn2514 and a certain commercial tendency for Tellarites.
The Gorn are famous for their craft skills, such as knitting, crochet and making papier machet rocks.
A part two of this would be interesting.
Some ideas would be: Tholians with their tractor beams; Dominion with their cloning tech; Borg with their cybernetic abilities; Voth with their transwarp; Ferengi with their commence; Orions with their persuasion; Andorians with their tactical abilities; Breen with their cryo-tech; Remens with their night-vision; etc.
Catians because everyone loves cats... and they are made of fluff
@@chickadeestevenson5440 Catians make some fine ships. I mean seen their carriers? >.> Even though it looks like a big purple dildo....now I think about it *Facepalm*
The Voth Transwarp is neat but i really would put their ability to beam a whole freaking starship over their transwarp.
The Dominion has all sorts of bioengineering advancements. Look at what they have done with Tetracell White. Talk about long term food supply replacement.
Ey Greater Terran Union
When you got to the Klingon section, I’m surprised you missed the obvious speciality of the species. From all that was mentioned about how they acquire their technology, the Klingons seem to be specialists in reverse engineering. Even when encountering tech far more advance then their own, the Klingons seem to easily be able to reverse engineer, understand, and recreate the technology whether it be their warp drives to Romulan cloaking technology and etc.
Perhaps I’m looking too deeply into it but goes to show how the Klingons are unique in terms of innovation.
One of my favorite part about DS9 is that for once we see why the klingons are a fiersome speices to have in a conflict. while the moral of everyone is downing with the constant updating of the casualty list, you can see the klingon's moral going up as time goes. you see them coming back from battle chanting and cheering everyone happy that it was a blood bath with tons of great warriors entering sto-vo-kor.
DS 9 did a great job at fleshing out the various different species and cultures of Trek, especially the Ferengi.
The USS Optimus. “Well that’s just Prime.”
Facts
That will be the Ship's Motto. And you clearly will know anyone who served on that ship rather quickly.
Crew, transform and roll out!🚑🚒🚓🚕🚛🏎🚜
Definitely have a prime directive now
It plays 'You Got the Touch' when jumping to Warp. and the 'Beast Wars Instrumental' when it's dropping out.
A startrek tour of the culinary arts from the many different cultures would be an interesting video
@@Nick-Name-qf4nw Gagh makes the mouth water especially when its live and squirming
1: Get bug.
2: Dump into bowl.
3: Serve.
There's a cookbook that goes over recreating the various food props in the shows.
@@BlueSatoshi 😯 I have to find this!
@@BlueSatoshi I recently bought that book, it’s great!
And The Grand Nagus can just buy all of this stuff.
But, other species do! I remember Nog saying that the Ferengi ended up buying their first warp drive, instead of inventing their own.
@@GraceSerenityK and having warp technology was all it took to be able to join, giving them a seat at the table.
Not so fast. Brunt, F.C.A....
“Get me my snail juice.”
The Ferengi have cornered the tech support market.
Also the scam market.
I'd say the Klingons are highly adaptable to hardships; if that hardship happens to occur through battle, all the better. They can repurpose and adapt recovered tech. While humans are equally adaptable but more in line with problem solving and developing or modifying existing tech to get them out of a bind.
I think that is one of Klingons greatest strengths: tenacity and wisdom. They can literally be enslaved by a technologically more advanced species and in rebelling not only fling them off their planet and chase them to the stars but also make it as they are never heard from again in that sector of space. Kingpins are hardy and they take a beating and an old Klingon is often a wise Klingon because they can take the lumps and keep going. And theirs is a history of such individuals thousands of years old. They are unafraid to try and seize opportunities and that gives them an edge over more cautious (Vulcan) or fragile (humans) species .
Their greatest strength is obviously their opera.
Suggestions for Part II: Andorians, Ferengi, Denobulans, Gorns and Talaxians
Can I suggest Tholians too? Perhaps the most enigmatic of all ST races; they seem to be rather good at energy manipulation and reverse engineering.
I think that what you've basically done here is make a Trek version of the SSV Normandy from Mass Effect. Now that I mention it, a Mass Effect version of this vid would be a good idea too.
The Sheliak - good for treaty writing - making sure that there can be hardly any loopholes in a treaty.
The Krenim - good for temporal timelines and tackling anything that may affect the timeline of even a single particle.
Where I thought you were going with that…
The Sheliak: good for writing treaties and making sure there are no loopholes in a treaty. The Krenem: good for going back and making sure there never was a treaty, or a species to make one with in the first place.
11:30 ; Okay, so now I expect you to actually design that ship and bridge crew in STO on an alt character. Most of your preferred design choices are actually possible options in that game. I would indeed be most fascinated to see how viable that idea actually is.
I would put a Human captain, not out of superiority complex but human captains have proven to be the more well-rounded command officers
@@luisdonoso6154 what about an Eluarian?
@@luisdonoso6154 ; Yeah, I would agree with that. Though in this scenario Rick, (who is human) is the Captain.
@@chickadeestevenson5440 ; El-Aurians are more so listeners than leaders. They are superb counselors, bartenders, and advice givers, but generally are do not prefer to be in the center light that is the captain chair.
Me to. Auggie shouldn't take all of the glory!
This might only serve as a footnote (especially because of how intentionally mysterious they were designed to be in DS9) but *The Breen* were said to excel at cryogenic storage tech, seen best in their inscrutable 'interacting with other aliens' hazardous environmental suits.
Now I'm imagining a Civ-type game where you play as all the various races/cultures in star trek and utilize their unique strengths/specializations
I'd say something for Federation computer systems, they seem pretty consistently unequalled by anything else, especially in the field of AI.
They do have this tiny flaw of becoming sentient once in awhile :)
@@kingssman2 what is a flaw, but a diamond seeking some polish ;)
Federation culture created Data. Not many others did like.
@@brodriguez11000 Data should be the natural next step allowing ai to evolve naturally could lead to errors or lack of morality instead creating learning androids like data allows the healthiest path to peace bewteen AI and organics by putting them on the same mental grounds in regards to morality making them nothing more then a more intelligent form of what ever nations people that made them and "raised" them.
of course this would mean thered be war obbssed klingon ai cold and cruel romulan ai or peacefull yet apathetic ai like vulcans but at least then theyd still be better then AI vs organic mindset
@@wilmagregg3131
Probably a dumb question in these comments, but did you see “Picard” yet? Won’t spoil anything if you haven’t.
Be the Andorians and the Tellarites, be founding members of the federation, be not mentioned when talking about Starfleet and wait till part two, cry. Good video, can't wait for part two.
Oh, I really like this!
Some species I'd like to see in a part two (most of them because there isn't much in canon to go on but I don't know the apocrypha):
-Ferengi
-Saurians
-Caitians
-Edosians
-Andorians
-Tellarites
He recently did an Andorian video. Just search for it on RUclips. channelname video.
@@nagash303 He's done videos on most of all of the species he talked about in this one, too. There's a difference between the cultural files and this series.
A part two would be great! Thank you so much, I always enjoy your videos!
I like the ship idea, with the crew you pointed towards...
Very cool. Liked the summary at the end about the ship and crew you'd throw together.
Excellent series so far! I love how you're going beyond stereotypes to see what the powers in Star Trek *really* bring to the table. I never would have thought that Starfleet sensors are some of their biggest strengths! Would love to see this become a series!
Your videos are always informative and interesting
Part 2? Yes please
If I had to find a specific strength for Klingons, it would be that they're masters at not only reverse-engineering captured technologies, but improving upon them. They make better cloaks than Romulans; their ships, while ultimately based on stolen Hur'q technology, are tougher than anyone else's; their weapons are second to none. Their technology is designed to be usable with minimal training (well, except their melee weapons - bat'leths and mek'leths are almost as dangerous to the wielder as the opponent), and capable of standing up to extremely rough handling.
The AK47 of technological philosophies. Does it do the job and will it keep doing that job? If so, it's what we want, for the minimal resources required.
Sounds almost like Russian engineering stereotypes.
@@Blasted2Oblivion I think in TOS the Klingons were kinda standins for the Soviet Union given the show was made at one of the heights of the cold war.
Thank you Rick, Interesting topic, I would like to know more about the Delta Quadrant species. Have a great day.
I would love to see more on this subject. There is so much to explore here, I believe.
Absolutely a part 2 would be fantastic. The pre-federation Andorians had exceptional sensor systems, The Krenim are experts in temporal mechanics, Borg nanotechnology is powerful and incredibly versatile, The Ferengi in general are excellent at market analytics and logistics, Breen have high performance weapons and cryonics. The list can go on
I never patterned or thought of the lore in such a way. Very interesting. Cheers!
Hell yea, do more like this!
It was very good
Yes please continue you could mention The Tholians Atmosphere suits and The Andorians Tactical expertise.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
I would like to see a second part. It can also be longer and more species would be great.
I really enjoyed this thank you
Great video, the Cardassians are one of my favorite species and I always viewed them as equivalent to humans but decided to be conquers rather than friendly collaboraters and that more than anything limited their tech development leaving it a generation or so behind Starfleet in most respects. Probably about where humans would be in the Star Trek universe if they stuck to themselves and pursued development alone.
I think the Cardies are supposed to be a lot smarter than humans on average. From what we seen in canon, they would have eidetic memory. This is what made them formidable opponents.
I need more of this
Great vid keep it up
This was really interesting! I'd love to see you tackle the Borg and the Dominion.
I think for the benefit of the community it would be awesome to have a video that focuses on what the Federation Founding Races brought to the organization. You managed to focus on many of the UFP races we see in the Generation Era, but not so much the TOS/ENT era. I almost think species like the Trill and Betazoids may have been better featured in Part 2 with the "Terrans", Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites the focus of the first part.
Meh, perhaps it would be an interesting idea to have a small video series that explains the hallmarks of what each Federation race brought to the table.
Making my own D6 Star Trek game and would love more of these videos
Imagine getting this level of content for free without interruptions from sponsors!
I like this series and look forward to more.
I'd like to see a part two. Maybe add a Horta planetary science officer, Tellarite engineer and a Hirogen MACO comando
thank you for this video . part two could be borg (horrsions) voyger dominion . keep up the good work i aways look out for your videos.
Yes, do more videos along this line. I thought the fact you brought out about the Klingon tacticians was most insightful! So yes, do as many as you can think of, like the Ferengi most likely could optimize many aspects of any business, i.e. they would make for great accountants, and possibly great Project Managers.
This should definitely be a series. Please consider a comparison between Tellarite and Bajoran agriculture, between the Vulcan and Trill approaches to science, amd the tactics of the Klingpns vs the Andorians.
excellent video
This is intresting id like to see another
I'd love to hear more about this.
I'd love a part 2
I would definitely like to see more. Species like Vidians (they were good with medicine if I remember correctly), Voth,Gorn,Breen, maybe some Gamma quadrant species as well
Love the ship number for the Optomist, I gronk it. 😄
Interesting video :).
Yes please make a part 2 sir!
_we look for things, things to make us go_
Well humans where famed for there technical skill and ingenuity, and where highly adaptable to new situations quickly overcoming problems presented to them
Would I like to see more of this? HELL YEAH!! And preferably even in more detail that is!!
Worf cut off the Borg's hand with one slice of his blade is one of the classic display of Klingon Valor
i always wondered if the Ferengee after Rom got to be Nagus and the new way of life became the norm might have aided their considerable negotiation skills to the federation
Please do a part 2. The Ferengi, Andorians, Dominion, Hirogen, & Breen.
Part 3, The Borg.
more of this, yes. I'd like that
Rick, there's only one thing missing from your hypothetical ship idea: an easily-used-and-maintained-by-anyone thalaron-based ultra-God-mode plasma cannon that vaporizes entire planets with one shot. Sort of a more efficient but more powerful version of the weapon from ST Nemesis. EDIT-- Forgot to mention that it's made by the Klingons. : )
Add to the super ship, Borg transwarp coils, Hirogen sensors and Romulan / Reman cloaking device and multi-phasic shields.
That is a hell of a crew captain.
I admire your guesswork on Trek lore and salute you sir lol.
Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you friends. :)
I guess the Bajoran’s really know how to dish it out
so this video did the alpha and beta quadrants. Part two should be about the Delta and Gamma quadrants. For example one very good species to do would be the Vidiians and they're extremely superior medical technology, which can be used both as a weapon and as a sophisticated tool for medical treatment. Another one would be the Voth, with their distaste for endotherm's and they're highly sophisticated personal cell technology which allowed them to observe Voyager at least for a while without being detected. The Vodwar might be another good delta species to cover.
- good observations
The various species of the Delta Quadrant alone would fill up a video or two. Like the Hirogen's hunting tactics, the Kobali's ability to effectively raise the dead, the Vidiian's advanced (if sus) medical and genetic technologies, even Krenim's grasp of temporal mechanics and the Voth's transwarp capabilities are worth mentioning.
I'd love to see more non federation races, races that were less familiar with! As for the klingons, I would say their strength is their ability to reverse engineer tech!
Good content idea Rick, how about Changeling's and Andorian's.
Yes part 2
plz
i realy like your vids
really should've touched on that species in the delta quadrant that had the best transporter in the galaxy, they can practically transport people and objects into an entirely different quadrant.
I think it would be interesting to have another video like this speculating the Tholians, and the Breen. You can probably learn a lot about these races through there tech, for example the Tholians have advanced tractor beams and the best environmental tech in probably all four quadrants. The Breen use asymmetrical ships could this be that the Breen use a different method of warp theory or they make them that way to confuse their enemies. I think it would be interesting to see a video like this but with the races we have little info on.
I want more of this.
Might I suggest ferrangi are honestly good at diplomacy (when they aren't being pirates) and exploration? They have to find suitable markets and make sales with the people of those markets.
Also supposedly holodeck technology came from them in some roundabout way? Ditto synthahol?
But beyond greedy money grubbers ferrangi are honestly great for diplomacy and inter species trade. Plus their bilogy is diffrent enough from galactic norms that empsths and telepaths typically find it hard to rad them.
I would like to see more of this. Lot of other people have given their lists of races and their things you should cover next; but I'd like to add to the Klingons. I think you missed a thing that they are strangely good at, that has been shown a few times in the shows and in the apocrypha and that's that they are weirdly quite adept at genetic technology; creating a clone of Kahless, and hiding the Suliban intel in that dude's DNA, to cite a couple.
the krenin and their expertise at of not only making time travel possible but also their impresive simulation methods.
Not to mention the astrometrics lab in Voyager, as far as advanced Federation scanning technology. yes seven helped by integrating borg technology but she had ostensibly been assimilated / reintegrated into the Federation at this point.
I think a part 2 would be good
I enjoyed it
The Gorn would be interesting.
Thanks
for the super ship you should throw in a former borg chief engineer, who brought along their subspace displacement fields and adaptive shielding.
I liked it but I feel cheated out of the Ferengi.
I was glad that you covered all of the others that I would have hoped for though.
Those alien people plus the Ferengi are all on the main list of groups that I expect to frequent a star trek story.
Well, them and the Borg and members of the continuum aside from the random ones.
tracker beams, transporter and defensive shields, etc.
Yes please do a part 2... Andorians! Breen? 8472? Tellarites?
Nice ship models.I want them.
Part II please with Orions, Breen, Gorn and Ferengi
id also go into klingon in the hand to hand battle tactics security and defense officers big time and a big Gorn backup as well a Caitian communications officer unit also, a ferengi for a financial advisor for the ship i got too of course have the best of everything on board.
Yes! More culture and/or economy videos!
I'm all for a second video, focusing on some of the secondary species.
Ferengi might have some interesting warp abilities. They have an extremely low species designation, meaning they encountered them very very early. Now even if they discovered a wormhole, it still means they were out there exploring.
This topic could make a great serise of videos.👍
UFP are the Borg, just nice about it.
I quite like the idea of a fantasy ship's crew (like fantasy football teams) video. Perhaps a ship design, as well?
Voth and Turei in particular, but federation alliance wise, hirogen and hierarchy could be interesting
Cardassians are my favs!
Honestly the klingons would likely produce very good mercenaries, it'd be one of the few ways klingons could have 'honorable' combat in times of peace.
I.e. if there aren't any wars at the time klingon officers could be rented out by the KDF to keep their talents sharp.
I would assign communication to the UFP as well. They have a huge area and need powerful and reliable communication technology to keep it organized.
The Romulans are Security and Espionage. Only the Founders, Garak and maybe Section 31 managed to fool them occasionally.
Well the Ferengi are actually quite impressive technologically once they put their minds into it. It was a Ferengi that invented Multi-Phasic shields. Self replicating mines was an afterthought of Rom. There is also the disabling wave tech the Marauders were equipped with.
During wartime where resources were scarce Nog was a logistics genius. I imagine Admiralty would want to adopt him for it.
