As an emergency class of starship, the Inquiry Class makes sense. Rapid construction and modularity is very important to keep in mind when the possibility of a war is very high. But even after a war, these modular ships could easily be given Science modules
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComicsin season 2 and 3 Inquiry class ships were stopgap but the STO fleet fit in as successors. Instead the Inquiry took the role the old Miranda had on border patrol.

Brilliant tongue and cheek use of copy & paste! Also excellent beta history writing. My degree is in history and nice parallel of the US navy wartime construction plan.
Well, I had the same opinion as most fandom and hated this when we all saw it. I still cringe when I hear the inquiry class but thanks to your wonderful video, I'm able to finally reconsider it. Would definitely like to see it on screen with some actual thought put into it instead copy and paste.
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics honestly I do like the Inquiry Class it reminds me of the Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers in US Navy Service and honestly it was one of the best ship designs we have come up with in recent decades. I have never served on one but they made uo the bulk of our Battle Group.
I was trying to give you an image of the season 2 design, but the link stopped my comment from being publicly shown for some reason, but after looking closely, I can tell you that the model you used in this video was used as the basis for the season 2 design and I prefer this model because it has more details you normally see on Starfleet ships like the yellow thrusters, flatter grey color scheme like on the Sovereign class, more visible escape pods, red pinstripes, blue nacelle grills and red bussard collectors.
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComicsDo you think fans would've been nicer about this ship if they used this design and used other ships like the first episode of season 2?
So with this class, I like to imagine that we never truly saw as many as we did on screen. Rather, what few of the class they had were equipped with advanced holo-emitters by order of Riker himself. Famous for his poker skills and calling bluffs, he did just the same by having the handful of ships project multiple more that were beyond the Romulan's level of technology to detect that they were indeed holograms. It makes for an interesting and very typical Riker moment.
I have 2 Camrys. Not the flashiest , but they're reliable and the newest is pretty powerful. The comparison could be worse. I guess the Oberth class would be the Pinto or the Pacer.
YEEES! He finally gave us the Inquiry class.......... Love it! Love it! carry on Sir.......💯..... Just gotta say, blame it on Picard S1, final episode for all the haters of this fine starship class
I like this ship alot. Only thing i dislike is the deflector array. I like the redesign fans have made to it. It felt more starfleet. Yet i Love the video and history u made.
Great video! So, one silver living from the synth attack is that most Starfleet personnel survived due to not being on their ships. It’s easier to replace ships that replace the crews.
Yay, i was waiting for this episode! Great vid and I completely agree about the design growing on me over time. Also, it's a great ship to fly in STO. Very powerful!
I like this. It reminds me of the Victory class transport ships of WW2. Basically highly modular ships that could be built quickly to ship gear to the allies. Albeit this is a combat rated sci-fi ship. Love the parallels tho.
@0:24 Hey: if the Klingons can do it with the D-7 and the K'Tinga classes and make it work, then the Federation can do it, too! (About time I thought of something _other_ than nav deflectors, innit?)
Funny how I was watching a truth or myth video about a week ago and hoped for a video on the inquiry class. Well my friend you are awesome for this one 💪💯 much appreciated been looking forward to this!
I really enjoyed this as it does fit with the reasoning I had made in my head for its design. it seemed to be a rapid deployment and mass-produced ship right from word go, and it's nice to see that others have thought that way about it as well. great job as always
Of course the Inquiry class is a "copy and paste version". If your major shipyards have been destroyed but you need a fleet then you systematize with what you have got, to ramp up and fulfil production. As Henry Ford says, "Any colour - so long as it is black". It will also be designed as a ship that can easily, 'en mass', be upgraded so we can expect the ship to be around, and in variants to the core design, for a long time.
I love the Inquiry class. I just didn't care for the cut and paste fleet in Picard. Not trying to start any flame war here in the comments. It's just my opinion here. I do really like this ship class. So much so I have TWO Eaglemoss models of it.
I wonder why star fleet gave the Inquiry class a 70k hull registration number, when it should have been at the least a 78 or 79k? Also are you going to one on the nee stargazer or the new excelsior?
When I saw this ship at the end of Star Trek Picard season 1 I was pissed at the fact that this was so lazy of them to do this. You managed to take a ship and give it a history that not only makes sense, it also makes the ship better
Starfleet needs ships like the Sovereign, Defiant, and Inquiry just as much as glass cannon ships like the Galaxy, and every other science focused ship in the fleet. The Federation doesn't like to talk about it but space is dark and dangerous, full of terrors waiting to be discovered. Starfleet needs to be able confront it with purpose built battleships. A deterrent against the darkness, and better if never used for its purpose.
I'll admit the Inquiry class is one of my most hated star ships and it will paile in comparison to the more superior Odyssey and Yorktown class. #SaveSTO
those center rear phaser banks are positioned really badly, especially the ventral ones. all 4 should be further out on the nacelle pilons. and maybe toasted 90⁰.
By the way, with the fall of the Romulan empire, the clause for not developing clocking technology is basically no longer in effect. I hope this ship and future Trek ships do include clocking technology. If I’m not mistaken the Discovery did receive such an upgrade in the 30th century.
Nice to get some great views of this class though I’m still not a fan. While it has some nice design elements to it the class really lacks the artistry of most Federation ships. The narrative certainly helps explain this but I personally want my trek ships to look good!
So Rickers copy and paste Fleet was copy and paste for an in cannon reason, fascinating, I've not seen any of the new stuff yet incase that's common knowledge....
I like how the ship looks on its own, but I'll always be disappointed in that scene from Picard's Season Finale. It's not even in the Top 5 as far "The Cavalry Arrives" moments in Star Trek. Heck, it isn't even the best if you narrow it down to just "Riker saves the day" moments. It wasn't even the best RIker saves the day moment FROM THAT CALENDAR YEAR. Lower Decks gets that honor. Honestly, at least in terms of my personal favorite, which is of course purely subjective, it's hard to top the arrival of the Klingons in "Sacrifice of Angels" on DS9 as the pinnacle of "The Cavalry Arives" moments in Trek, but that's a whole other topic.
Great video friend and this looks great but a question if I may Star Fleet did if am not mistaken mass produced the Excelsior class witch is the backbone of the fleet also mass produced the Miranda class too i know they made other class of ships but those two they were made by the hundreds love the channel and the content 🖖
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics idk maybe it’s just the model you used makes the grill almost look like teeth, reminding me of an old patch of a defiant with a similar paint scheme
Do the decks of the Inquiry Class not stack flat on top of one another? It looks like windows on the hull undulate with the hull curves rather than form a strait line.
So I still think this class is ugly, but I never had a problem with the circumstances around it's production and--despite it's ugliness--I wanna know/see more of it. Here's hoping CBS doesn't backtrack and pretend there's not a thousand of these things out there.
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics I go by my own head cannon so beta or alpha dont matter too me anyways in my view all books games and TV and movies are all in the same universe and in constant flux and change. Anyways im not trying to be rude or anything so my apologize my good sir.
@@threefistbanddrummer4185 Head canon is all well and good, I mean we all have it, I have too... But I know that my head canon is meaningless.. Whether you like it or not, this ship IS alpha canon!
How bout, the use of the Dyson sphere discovered by Montgomery Scott to build the ships, 3d printing style. The thing has enough energy to power the replicators on a grand scale.
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics . So is nuclear power. But managed to tame such energy. Besides, nobody is going to live inside the sphere. Just plug it into an adaptor. (Or energy regulator). Then into super industrial replicators. Then click print and there it goes. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🏍️. (Replicated motorcycle)
LOL Of course it is not that simple... Since the Dyson Sphere had to be abandoned, and even the Enterprise herself could not survive in it due to the stars instability, Starfleet would need to repair the star first. And as multiple episodes have shown this is beyond their capability...
Although you did a great job with the presentation as usual and it's a nice enough looking ship... I just don't buy it. There are 3 aspects to producing anything and you can only ever have 2 of those things... you can make it inexpensive, you can make it good, you can make it fast. Inexpensive x good = slow. Good x quick = expensive. Quick x inexpensive = poor. Sorry for my poor wording but this is 4AM for me. Again, no insult to your work here. Also, Starfleet doctrine would never allow themselves to put all their eggs in one basket. They may discover in 5 years' time that after extended usage the nacelles are tearing away from the hull at warp with no way to fix it. That feels like an in-universe / cannon possibility.
Completely disagree with all of this! Your idea is not based in reality... There is nothing that keeps anyone from building or making things with ALL 3 qualities... My Toaster is a prime example of this ;)
The design is pretty cool, but man, it really felt underwhelming seeing all those nearly copy pasted ships on both sides in the final episode of Picard Season 1.
I agree, at that point considering the aim of the romulan fleet was to destroy a village the may as well have used like 3 warbirds and 3 federation ships. Would have had much less of a "copy paste effect".
I truly love your meta joke about the copy and paste starship class bit!
LOL Thank you :)
Yeah that was awesome!
Very nicely done. The narrative that explains the unfortunate laziness of the end of Picard season one’s VFX, is spot-on believable.
Well not since TOS where every ship was a Connie. But they had no money
