If I've said it before, I've said it a million times: I could look at ST starships all day long.
And I could listen to Seán's (or Ellie's or Marcus') voice all day long.
Amen.
I spend about 20 minutes every day looking at them....as I make them explode.
same, but this can also be said of starwars ships also Babylon 5, also Orville, so basically i like space ships
I’ve never paid much attention to the variety of ships in Star Trek. Therefore, I’m extremely impressed about those who do and Sean’s ability to make videos like this entertaining.
Centaur and Ambassador Classes are two of my 'non-hero' favorite designs.
After Star Trek Resurgencee i'm not sure if the centaur counts as a non hero ship....
Yes more episodes on the lesser known ships & related
Pretty sure the USS Endeavour was the solo survivor of the battle of Wolf 359. USS Ahwahnee was heavy damage but was salagved but i wouldnt count it as "surviving". Captain Amasov of the Endeavour is also gets a called out in Voyager.
I agree with you on that. I wish they would reveal their reason or source for believing that nonsense. 😂
Ironically, the low budget kit bashing method of creating tv starships is probably close to how an actual futuristic federation would create their actual starships… pre-designed saucers, nacelles, main hulls, etc that are modular and attached in a way to best serve the individual ships mission purpose, with style and looks being secondary.
The tech manuals repeatedly talk about the benefits of modular ship design.
@@3Rayfire, I’ve never read any… just what I took from the observation I guess I’m more of a minor Trekkie, but I’ve seen almost all of them.
Yes more videos on lesser known ships please! Love any videos on Star Trek ships
I loved the Yeager, sometimes ships arent polished streamlined hulls like a Visby Class or a Zumwalt Class, they are functional workhorses and you end up with something like the Slava class with its sea of radar domes, gubbins and giant dustbin 3D radar.
That kind of fits too, as Visby and Zumwalt were both... let's be charitable and say "disappointing."
I agree with some ships having to be the workhorses of the fleet and not the shiny flagship - all smooth and curvy and so.
But the Yaeger class fails to present a harmonic overall design in my eyes - it looks exactly like the thing it is: two random things smoshed together - a car crash in space. And you can totally see the seam where both halves where put together.
Most of the others do it way better - exept the Curry where I always feel like the saucer/nacel-half is mounted backwards on the engineering hull...
Anyhow I would have loved to see some more re-uses of known designs that actually make sense as a ship (Ambassador, Constellation, Nebula, ...) instead of having to see the Galaxy-saucer outfitted with different brands of markers just to make it less obvious you're using the same old saucer again. Why can't those older ships live out their days as the workhorses instead?
@@AndrewD8Red To be fair, the Moskva also proved a bit... "disappointing." lol
I love the Yeager. Yeah it's ugly but I love it. I have my own headcanon when it comes to the lore: It makes so much sense that the Dominion war would produce ships cobbled together with whatever pieces they had saved in the replicator. The Intrepid-Class was highly advanced, but likely very resource intensive in the Engineering section due to that variable geometry warp drive (the flappy bits), so they slapped on a known solid Engineering section and called it good, all the brains of an Intrepid and the warp power of whatever the Maquis Raider was called in Federation hands.
The problem with that is the Maquis Raider is a lot smaller than the Intrepid class.
@@craigmarriott6759 No reason a replicator can't scale things up.
Something about the New Orleans class has always appealed to me. I wish it had been seen some on DS9 along side the Ambassador, Nebula and Galaxy class ships.
I loved it and it was good to take that closer look at the ships you don't get a great glimpse of.
Some of the kitbash ships are really cool! The Nebula and the Centaur are 2 favourites!
i love this channel as all of the staff make it worth watching, when TrekCulture came across my my feed i spent 3 days watching the backlog of videos, thank you for all the hard work and thank you Editor team for working behind the scenes editing all of this content
I grew up in Ahwahnee, California and I had no idea there was a ship that shared the name. Awesome! Glad it made the list... 🍻
I love these additional ships. It was my favorite part of playing STO and I wish there was a full on ship builder game so I can kit bash my own!
Thanks for highlighting those, um, improvisations on the models, guys!
This video and list were great Id love more ship videos like this!
One of the first Star Trek reference books I ever got was the Encyclopedia circa 1994 (IIRC Generations, DS9 S3 and Voyager were just about mentioned in it) and ever since I lay eyes on that tiny black and white photo of the New Orleans-class I fell in love with it and also the idea that there were these other ship classes I had no idea even existed. But as a 13-year old, the New Orleans-class really blew me away. I love that design. It was, in a way, my introduction to expanded fiction within Star Trek.
I LOVE the Yaegar, my group playing Star Trek Adventures wanted one as their ship, lots of fun
The Yeager was a ship that my girlfriend really liked. She had a great set of arguments as to why.
Anyway, we're not together anymore.
Sounds like she had a lucky escape.
@@darrengriffin8609
Too right, mate!
Some things I could forgive, but not your irrational hatred of my baby Yeagy 😂
I have always LOVED the Cheyenne-Class, New Orleans-Class (aside from that bottom highlighter), the Centaur-Class. and finalized Nebula-Class (and I also don't mind the Springfield-Class). Wish those ships had also been given the full heroship finalization the way the Nebula-Class (and partly the Centaur-Class as it got some real screen time as opposed to wreckage - prior to "Resurgance") did.
Yes, I like lists like this, but maybe make them 5 ships per list allowing for more in-depth discussions on the ships, their production history, etc.
Brilliant, have always wondered what the ships looked like in the BOBW before the Borg wiped them out!
The Centaur model is an option for new Federation players in Star Trek Online along with the Miranda
The part 1 labeling was a mistake. Chekov's name was always written as "Chekov," and the model kit in the Part 2 segment corrected the error.
The author's name, thus, being spelled Chek*h*ov.
I do like that Yeager class ship! It’s like someone in the production office said “Let’s see what would happen if Star Fleet tried building a Klingon ship!”
As a Californian, I can confirm that the Surfshark ad is 100% genuine Surfer Dude!
🤙
Always been a fan of the Intrepid-class. Especially after Voyager which is still my favorite series.
"highlighter pens", well that has blown my mind
You know, guys, I almost always skip past in-video ads with the scroll bar, since most of them are pretty mediocre in how they set them up and read them. They're more ad reads than actual commercials. But you do a wonderful job of creatively inserting the ads you write into a fun and entertaining Trek situation of one type or another. I always let Sean's creative ads play through, if only because they're clever, and it's fun to watch Sean doing voices and playing caricatures. Keep up the great work, your sponsors ought to pay you double!
I love these kit-bashed ships!! Please make more of these shows!!
Hiya! Time traveller here, just to let you know there is no confusion with 2 USS Melbournes. The Excelsior class is named after the city of Earth whereas the Nebula Class USS Melbourne is named after the mythical Andorian tunnelling snathroot that grew wings and was the mount for Kisaob when he challenged the Sun to a race.
FYI in Andorian you stress the “el” and “ne” instead of the “M” and “B” for the Earth city
"You know it's red, and it comes from your friend Chad".....Up. 😂
yes I would love to see more videos of the lesser Star Trek ships PLEASE
I love the Centaur Class. It's a perfect design for a Miranda-style Excelsior variant.
Should I built a USS Yeager for my giant bluebrixx Deep Space Nine?
Centaur and Ambassador Classes are two of my favorite ships I use frequently in STO.
I Love the kit bashes, especially the Elkins-class and the unused USS Trieste, and you mentioned the artist, but you need the Hutzel-class
Personally really liked the Inteprid from Enterprise. Also like the Nimitz class the Europa from Discovery
awesome stuff! Sean is the reason why I watch so much Trek Culture
Nice and well researched video. You're absolutely right, the Yeager is horrible. You got almost everything right. Just two mistakes: 1) Photo of the ship the engineering hull of the dreadful Yeager was taken from shows Federation fighter, not Maquis raider. 2) Our ensign is spelled Chekov just as printed on the hull. There may have been some sort of transition behind the scenes with Chekhov (the writer) being an intermediate step until they ended up with Tolstoy (another writer) because Chekhov sounds just like Chekov.
I realize why they used older designs in Next Gen was to save money, but in universe it gave the impression of obsolescence... and this is a brilliant coincidence come the Borg and gave us a fantastic story. It also paid off by giving us the Defiant.
Have you ever done a video about the design of alien ships and how/why their design language was chosen?
Love all the ship love you can muster! Also, how about dissecting different ships, telling us tidbits about specific aspects of them. I so wish there was a model of the Captain's yacht Calypso
I love the “Yeager-type”, NCC-65674. It is a favorite of mine! My head-canon is the freighter/fighter version upscaled to graft a spade-shaped Intrepid-class primary hull to a durable, functional stardrive section that can mimic the maneuvering of a fully built Intrepid as an alternative using spare/decommissioned ships/parts to rush them into war service, perhaps 75% of the abilities of a bonafide Intrepid. Example: We have three Intrepid-class primary hulls, with no drive sections for the unique variable geometry nacelles, but we have some old Condor-type fighter/freighters from the 2320s/2330s we can upscale a bit and they’d work in a pinch!
11:00 Pavel Chekov (from TOS)'s surname IS spelled "Chekov". Not "Checkov" (as shown on screen) or "Checkof" (as you misspoke). So the ship being called the USS Chekov would still be named after the TOS character.
That's what I thought too
That has to be one of the best sponsor ad's I have ever seen. Wish others would take note....
I'm so glad to see two of my favorites in the #1 and #2 spots.
I like Dday landing ship! I imagine that big nose opens up completely to scoop up cargo if teleporter was unsafe for cargo. And it could serve as fleet support /repair ship! 😅
One change I would make to the New Orleans class, have the captain's yacht area not attached to the engineering section.
Basically like the Nebula class, but the New Orleans pylons and highlighters.
I don't know what it is about the New Orleans class, but I just love it.
More of this I must feed into the minatures, must have inspiration for kitbash.
I am sad we didn't see more of the Cheyenne Class, I would love a nice large model of one!
Love a starship. Backstory is never a bad thing, also.
I’m biased, I admit, but I’ve always thought Star Trek has the coolest looking ships in all of Sci Fi. It has all the way back to TOS, and kitbashes can be some of the best.
Captain Jean Luc Picard asked if anyone else built ships in bottle as a kid and seemed appalled that no body knew WTF he was talking about 🥲
I love the blooper where Wolf says, "I never played with boys..."
Cue the entire cast and crew breaking down in laughter.
Except for Obrien, of course, who said it was "great fun".
@@BruderEngel agreed - typical Worf remark
The mention of the USS Chekhov made me realise we've never seen a USS James T Kirk .
Surely The Fed would have named a ship after him?
David Mack put one in one of his novels though.
What about the "Crossfield" Class in the episode "The Broken Circle"?
It is literally an in universe kit bash ship!😆
I wish the Niagara class got more attention... practically the only time it was ever mentioned outside of being included in the Wolf 359 graveyard was it being added to the list of future ships to be added to Star Trek Online along with the Freedom class (the _actual_ Freedom class, as seen in Wolf 359).
That was over a _decade_ ago, they're still listed and still ignored.
The Nebula class - just call that a sensor platform, as it comes in various shapes.
I swear the one with the round saucer sensor platform must have been kit-bashed from an US Air Force AWACS plane. Looks like the exact same radar dome that that aircraft has.
The half-saucer Intrepid type is such a good looking ship, and fits so well with the Enterprise era aesthetic.
Actually just saw that episode with Picard's line about building ships in a bottle last night!
I always had a soft spot for the Yeager Class Starship. ☺
Highlighters are elementary... let's not forget the tug ship tractoring the Excelsior-class at 2:16-2:19. That ship was made from Intrepid-class warp pylons, Romulan warp nacelles, motherboard parts, and what appears to be a can-opener! 😆
I would _love_ more videos on the lesser known Starfleet ship classes, especially with what few, often hard to make out pictures I've seen of them on Memory Alpha.
The Cheyenne class is my absolute favorite. I've always liked the nacelles. Which them being highlighters is hilarious.
Sean,
You and Ellie should do a video where you ask people to send in pictures of their best Kit Bashes. I've got some great combos of Star Trek and Babylon ships. Including a Runabout I think you guys will really like :)
The Curry is, as I see it, an Oberth-class made out of Excelsior and Miranda-class parts
A big part of playing STO is all the ship designs, so many cool designs (both from the show, and originals)
A shoutout to people like Doug Drexler who revealed some of these Ship designs after years of Fan guessing and questioning how they are gonne look like without damaging. He found production fotos before they attached the damage to them for Wolf 359. These fotos and the informations how they built them where probably crucial for eaglemoss to bild the models later, and answered questions for generations of fans how the Cheyenne and other mini galaxy kitbashes looked like without enough information from their screentime. And Shawn, you are not the only one who hates the Yeager Class 😂
Worf: I've Never Played with Boy....😂
when in doubt, add a few highlighter pens!!!
I find it difficult to believe there is a Starfleet vessel Sean hates. I think it’s the FAVORITE, stuck down on the list for potential verisimilitude.
Ok, you made a commercial I actually enjoyed watching 🏆
The Yaeger class looks like someone crossed a Voyager with an X-Wing 😂
The Cheyenne Class at least gets to come into it's own in Star Trek Online. Most Wolf 359 wrecks never see the light of day (some justifiably so, but still)
I luv the Intrepid class (Voyager) she´s just a beautiful ship. I also luv the design of the Maquis-Raider, feels like a fast, shark stlye attacking fighter / ship. Both have a unique, strong and great shape. But together... it´s like mixing a beef burger with a fish burger, or wearing a brown belt to a black suit.. it´s just wrong. 6:23
Forget the Yeager class, I want the Elkins now!
I could watch lists of Trek ships all day long
Can we have a top 10 waistcoats episode please? During the TNG era, the wardrobe department definitely loved a colourful waistcoat.
8:30 NO NO NO NO *NO!!!* It was the Endeavor that survived! A Nebula class. Not the Ahwahnee! Why do people get this wrong? The Endeavor would also be a part of Picard's blockage fleet and see action during the Battle of Sector 001.
I agree with you on that. I wish they would reveal their reason or source for believing that nonsense. 😂
10:41 Is this one of those deliberate mistakes slipped in just to see if someone (i.e. me) would comment on it? 🤣
Chekhov: Russian playwright
Chekov: navigator on the Enterprise and Enterprise-A
Checkov: no idea 😛
The centaur class did grow on me thansk to Star Trek Resurgance. Perfect ship for a man like Charlie Reynolds. Likes to swing for the fences does Charlie.
A Horgon on the sponsorship intro - that's cheating. I wasn't ready.
I liked the teaser of the highlighter pens, at the beginning - cos I know what that means.
Oh cool, you showed the model of the 3 nacelled - future Enterprise.being worked on. I've never seen that ship anywhere except for in the episode.
I might be seeing what I want to see, but did I see a model Refit NX Enterprise in actual space in the segment about the USS Centaur?
I hope so.
Extremely good video and yes we would love more like it
I always wondered what that intrepid saucer like ship was in the background of DS9. Now I know its the Yeager class.
5:58 Yeah, I have to agree. Number 6, The Yeager Class looks like something that should be in Star Wars, not Star Trek ...
They need to do a video on all the unusual things that made their way into ship models over the years!
This was a great video. I'm part of a Star Trek costuming group which the ship I am a part of is a Yeager class starship so it was really cool to hear you talk about that starship class
I sometimes wonder if the Akula class from Star Trek: Shattered Universe is cannon. It's similar to the Challenger class, but refit constitution and minus the secondary hull.
I consider it so as the immediate successor to the Saladin class
My first model was the Enterprise-A. Second was the Reliant and third was the Enterprise-E.
I tried to give my little cousin an Enterprise-A model and she did put it together but she made an "alteration" to it. Using wires she made the nacelle arms bend so they could flap like a bird because in her reasoning, how else was it supposed to fly? LOL
Ah, the good, the bad, and the ugly. For some reason, I seem to find some "good" in all of these, just cause I'm a Trek Ship Geek. What do we all think of the USS Vengeance? That's one of my personal faves. Thanks Sean!!
The color made it look awful. Just looked like a big dark grey enterprise. A better color pallet I think could have managed to make it look menacing while still looking like it belonged to the same fleet, and also just shown off the design better. You don't get to see it much where it in't dark grey on black or.. on fire.
Good video and ship content is always a thumbs-up from me, but one thing though...
I thought it was the U.S.S. Endeavour, a nebula class starship lead by Captain Amasov that was the sole surviving ship at Wolf 359? They supposedly were involved in the Battle of Sector of 001 aswell.
(Captain Amasov is referenced as a great starfleet captain who faced the borg by Captain Janeway)
I had a spare eaglemoss Springfield Class ship that befell one on my involuntary hand spasms and crashed on the floor, knocking off the secondary hull and the shuttlebay pod... it made me think how much it resembled the NX Class but if it were reimagined as a TNG era version of the class. I didn't repair the sections that snapped off but carefully removed the bits left and kept it in its more spartan form.
I too despise the Yeager & Elkins class ships... though surprised the USS Crazy Horse wasn't mentioned as with its similarity to the Curry Class.
My mother once had a machine from the Singer company and one day she came to me with it and did a Picard impression. She said "Make it sew."
the Yeager class was actually refreshing, i like the design.
also, how did you butcher Guillermo so bad?!
Has no one ever noticed that box cutters look like some warp nacelles too on Romulan Warbirds.
One ship is missing from that list... the USS Pasteur ;) a complete sphere instead of a saucor. would be interesting to know how that concept came about. Looks like a Borg sphere with nacelles.
The Pasteuer wasnt a kit bash, it was a complete new model
Great article.
The Yeager could be fixed by sharpening the “saucer” a bit more to hide the current look
The original enterprise, had razor handles for warp nacelles.
And a washing up liquid bottle for the body, and paper plates for the saucer.
