When the engineers at starfleet give in to the intrusive thoughts
there were a lot of hell yeahs that day
@@adcraziness1501 I'm sure some drinking real alcohol was involved, along with the holodeck.
It doesn't have enough phasers. It also needs a bunch of phaser cannons like on the USS Defiant.
I agree. Something that large should not have just have standard weapons. Planetary phaser arrays for a start, like the one shown fired by DS9 when it destroyed a bird of prey in one shot. It HAS to be more powerful than anything the Sovereign class is carrying. Plus something akin to Riker's deflector beam weapon he used on the Borg ship in Best of Both Worlds P2, but designed specifically for the ship, and finally a Phaser Lance or two. Plus, a whole lot of quantum and photon torpedo launchers.
@@Elurin absolutely correct 💯.
@@Elurin That was by Cul Dukat actually and it was when he was demoted to Captain of a freighter ship and Major Keira helped him retrofit it with a planetary cannon in his cargo bay so they coukd destroy a Klingon BOP
@@Elurinand a shit load of fighters for defence
2:26 in my setting I use ships like this as forward operating bases, think about it it takes a fair bit of time to build a station and their normally defenceless while been built so how do you get around that? You have a mobile station that’s main job is to set up in a location that dosnt have a station or maybe it’s a location you don’t plan to build a station but you need one for a short time.
It’s also a fantastic way to evacuate a location, say you need to evac a planet? Using normal ships it could take days or weeks or you send in one of these things and get it done in one maybe two trips.
for a starbase inspired ship there is a severe lack of weaponry and shielding
I know right it needs a refit
yea it's liek a scale up of the enterprise D without the thought o this thing probably can have a full warp core or to to power weapons and shields separately also it's a starbase you can literately have support craft be full starships multiple enterprise D's could be in the thing
An good example of just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
This is a cool concept. You can station these in regions as you explore outwards. Although this might be a perfect design for a Generation ship to travel across Galaxies. It can carry the whole colony and starships for exploration of new galaxy.
Come to think of it, mobile platforms like these may have been used in the future timeline in the novel Crossroads...
Seems underpowered honestly!
in Star Trek Starfleet Academy during the simulate your own scenarios if you took an excelsior class ship you could take the starbase in tow and bring it to the next system with you, It was quite amusing to watch at the time (1995)
Haha! That's hilarious, definitley going to give that a try 🖖
RBG: "Look at the size of that thing!"
Yeah, that's what she and Wedge Antilles said. 😛
The saucer section of this ship reminds me of a mushroom cap.
That DS9 battle was like Fast and Furious - Bajor Drift
Not very tanky though
😲😳😲oooh my.. at 0:04 that is the USS Basestar.... crikey.... oh wow.. yes thank you MSR-1701.. at the rear of the saucer the pulsing lights for ships to fly in.. wow.. I for one love the concept and the star base that can move.. this is amazing.. the size is wow, just needs more shields.. I wonder how many warp or other to run that thing.. jeepers.. Captain.. loved it!!!😊🖖
a multiple mobile star base probably after the issue in Picard season 3 the federation new aliance with the borg allowed delta or fox quadrant exploration, the distance between star bases made it impossible to travel for a number of craft that relyed on standard warp drive, and back for essential repairs or extensive refits following a hostile encounter with a new form of specis 8472 to many it was a one way trip like the voyager incident , so in collaboration with the alide borg a new class was developed allowing multi ship slip stream movement, this allowed star ship class ships stranded to return but also continue there mission in the new quadrant, yet also remain mobile and capable of self defence in the event of a hostile race encounter
Do think this ship is a bit underpowered though, since we saw in Picard that one of these can tank starfleet's main fleet for hours (or was it a day?)
Like in picard tv series ? What class
@@sumukhvmrsat6347 The Earth Spacedock from Picard sustained the firepower of the entire fleet for several hours before getting its shields down
@@theborgqueen6891 yeah , I understood that one , but where , when , what series or show or movie , or just the Name of the Battle ? Like third battle of earth or what
@@sumukhvmrsat6347 2401, in earth orbit, TV episode "Vox" and "The Last Generation" (PIC Season 3 Episode 9&10), where Earth Spacedock suffered the combined firepower of the Starfleet for a long time which was under the control of the Borg Collective, while maintaining the planetary shield around earth.
@@theborgqueen6891 oh , thank you 😘
A state of the art flying star base, taken out with the same nonsense as snokes ship. hilarious.
😂🎉 ,nah , Snokes Supremacy was taken out by a hyper jump enemy ship , this Ship seems to ram itself onto other ships
A mobile Starbase(equipped with a slipstream drive), would in my ipinion be very useful in say... the delta quadrant..
The ship in the video looks like an alien eclipse class 😂.
It be cool if it were dispatched to a hostile area where it could launch Akira and Defiant class Starships from inside to do battle.
It's effectively a Universe-class starship. Vulcan-like ring warp drive works on the Earth starbase as shown in one of NX Enterprise's episode.
I would see it as a precursor to a Universe Class. As startfleet starts exploring other galaxies, they need mobile command centres. So the first iteration was just whacking some nacelles on a starbase and shooting it into another galaxy to establish a beach head.
Once the idea has proven successful, then they develop other classes intended to be mobile bases from conception rather than just kit bashing. Eventually evolving to the Universe Class Enterprise J.
The " Big " Battle of " crazy- funny" Starbase 's is good! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Shields definitely need improvements if its going even remotely act as a mobile starbase.
It is really lacking in stopping thrusters/engines.
The USS Basestar should have a LOT more weapons... DS9 is absurdly over-gunned though.
This build was based on the original mod.
SciFiKing has been working to resolve the AI issued and quirks with the mod, as well as updating the weaponry
(What is hard to see is the "disruptor" projectile in this build is essentially a base Photon Torpedo with slightly higher damage but worse accuracy)
Wow what a amazing looking SHIP!
Crazy Starbase and funny Ship!😂😂😂😂😂.
I imagine a mobile starbase would be very useful in a rear line in a war front where damage ships can make minor repairs before heading back to the front line or emergency repairs before heading back to the shipyards for extensive repairs. It will also serve as a supply depot for a fleet and r&r for crews. My main complaint of the USS Basestar is the shielding is way too weak and not enough weapons.
Make a bargain with the Romulans to have them let us use a cloaking device to hid this. It's just too tempting of a target.
It's like the UNSC Infinity in that the Infinity literally launched capital ships from itself, like how normal ships can launch fighters.
It will be the ultimate challenge once the kinks get ironed out on it. Also it really makes more sense for that size ship for long term research and exploration for new far off quadrants.
Based on the results from ST Picard, these things can survey a fleet.
I had an interesting idea many years ago, a massive colony class ship as big as a Star base, constructed to explore other galaxies, taking the best of the federations engineering /science core and other personal for a new colony. The Colony class would be equipt with 8 support intrepid class ships and runabouts, so new galaxies comes new aliens and worlds to explore.
And if we tape two together, the become a ..... ... ... Death Star...😳
An interesting concept,and a nice, well proportioned design. Definitely needs work on the shield strength,though.
Could you make it some sort of flag carrier? Give it some sort of ability to jam enemy sensors and launch a swarm of fighters??
When I first saw the name “Basestar” before clicking on the video, I thought this was a Cylon ship.
Very interesting ship. I wonder if it’s a mobile carrier for starships. You can fit a small fleet inside, take it to the edge of a war front, all the ships inside go off to the front lines and the Basestar stays behind in case any need to come back for repairs. You could also coordinate the war effort from the Basestar, and its armaments ensure that any opposition that comes too close can be repelled by the Basestar itself and protect the ships inside that need repairs.
I am curious though, the Basestar’s doors are open, could you take a shuttle or a small ship and fly inside it?
Sadly no, not for this build.
HOWEVER!
The filenames for this is FedCarrier, and there is a second called FedCarrierBase, which I believe you could...😅
This would definitely be a command carrier kind of ship, or a system defense kind of ship. i imagine its pretty slow warp wise so it wouldnt be in major fleet engagements much.
Underpowered.
Seriously underpowered
Ram !
Seems like this version has weaker shields than others that ive seen. Either way, a mobile starbase concept is stellar.
Nice showcase. Keep it up! LLAP
I feel like the mobile starbase would be useful for a good frontline base during the dominion war or in times of peace a base at a distant member world.
Appears power, shields and weapons are significantly underpowered compared to a conventional starbase. Seems like a smaller class, like a base station.
They wont ever be able to recreate the tanking power AND stopping power shown in picard season 3... we would need an entire new game around that. This here ship is stupid to begin with. There is a reason the enterprise J is still so small compared to a starbase ya know?
You should do the Tomcat vs Sovereign.
Nice Showcase😅
This is a test import I did, and I believe SciFi King has a build that is a LOT more refined (his USS BattleStar), and he ironed out some miscellaneous issues I've seen during testing (AI hiccups, balancing, etc)😎
Yes, I noted the glitches. NP. The concept is fantastic.
@@kellyjeaularson5786 I agree!
This has a lot o promise 😉
For what it is, it's shields seem weaker than the Sovereign that was firing at it, far too weak.
Given that this version of DS9 can spam quantums all day, the end battle wasn't surprising.
many brave klingon warriors now rest in sto'vo'kor because of that giant big station and its quantum torpedoes.
@@poil8351 Q: What's the station's compliment of quantum torpedoes?
A: Yes.
as our modern aircraft carrier a fleet must accompanied it but it can repair ships protect them inside for a front line incursion , evacuate ships with no warps , be an avanced command center
It definitely is a lot bigger than the Enterprise-J. I agree it is an interesting concept. It reminds me of the headquarters for Starfleet in Star Trek Discovery in the 32nd Century.
Could be a colony ship. If there’s a war, it would be great to have some of these across the far reaches of the federation or at key sectors. Many good possibilities
Yes. Very cool. Think how useful this would be in establishing a new sector for the Federation.
I like the concept, but it's underpowered for a starbase. DS9 doesn't even have this massive warp drive but they clearly have superior shields and weapons. A stationary starbase is going to be built deep in friendly territory and will likely always have access to dozens or even hundreds of vessels, but this is a type of forward operating starbase (FOS) which would require even greater defenses and weapons. Even if you didn't heavily arm it, in the very least it should be a turtle with a super-hard "shell" of a shield grid.
While we are on the topic, those warp engines when off should allow for a massive supply of power to the other areas of the ship. Therefore, it shouldn't be so power constrained.
I want to see a Star Trek episode or movie where they have one of these, and the ships inside get "docking locked" to prevent them from shifting during an emergency warp maneuver. Can you imagine how much power the inertia dampeners would require to warp out with not just the full mass of the Basestar, but also all of the docked ships as well?
Lol..that was a fail on 'attack pattern' death blossom🤣
Could be good for power projection in further off parts of Federation space or beyond. I just find it hard to believe that it didn't stand a chance against DS9.
OMG! It's the Deathblossem from The Last Starfighter!!
The Warp Field reduces the relative mass of a ship to 0... That helps moving at impulse power and warp speeds.
Cool concept and cool design. I'd build the quantum torpedo launchers on a rotary mount, like a mini gun. Get the launchers to fire out a ton of quantum torpedoes in a short time frame. Lol. I wonder if a Starbase sized ship would have multiple warp cores...
Normally I despise God ships, because as a friend of mine once said" what does God need with a starship?". I don't know this one works on me though. That giant hangar door in the back needs to be put to use tho.

6. Ram damage
The reason Starfleet created a small defiant ship to go against a huge borg cube is because of its manoverbility to avoid enemy fire. A huge ship like this is sitting duck for small ships to attack. Tarsha Yar also said that the ambassador class could better defend itself against the slower romulan ships because of its manoverbility. A huge ship is not good for combat. It cannot implement evasive manourvers. Kamakaze enemy ships can take it out within seconds, you know in star wars where the purple 🟣 hair woman rammed into the big ship?
Only in the world of fiction and dogshit fire control systems is that true. The reality is that good fire control systems and accuracy pretty thoroughly negate maneuverability advantages, especially in settings dominated by highly accurate guided missiles or lightspeed directed energy weapons. No ship no matter how fast or maneuverable it is is ever going to outmaneuver a missile, So pair a large ship up with a very powerful long range fire control system and lots of missiles, small ships basically become cannon fodder.
@@ryuukeisscifiproductions1818such is also sitting duck for subspace tear weapon that can eat up the whole ship, and cutting beam. It is better to lose a few small ships than one giant ship.
@@themeaningoflifeexpert that's a bad argument, a very bad one. because only the clinically insane or braindead stupid are deranged enough to use subspace weapons. Not even the klingons, Romulans or Dominion are braindead stupid enough to resort to subspace weapons. And it because the damn things are highly unpredictable, with just as much of a chance of killing the user as they would the enemy. not to mention what do you think is going to happen to that highly volatile unpredictable subspace weapon should the ammunition magazine containing it take a hit.
In fact the TNG episode unification part 1 shows exactly what happens when you try to stick far too many weapons onto a small hull. Sure the small ship had enough firepower to significantly drain enterprise D's shield, but enterprise D only had to hit back with a light phaser blast and the whole ship's magazines detonated. So in other words small ships with overpowered weapons turn into flying bombs that die to light hits.
The only reason this didn't happen to the defiant class is because starfleet used lots of very compact and highly expensive technology and engineering on the defiant to make that happen. Thus defiant is not a cheap ship, its a very expensive one built in a very compact hull with very high maintenance requirements and very poor endurance.
1:45 Reminds me of that old SNL skit where Kirk has retired the Enterprise to serve as a restaurant.
"Mr. Sulu, engage maximum spin!"
Mobile command center. Planet crisis, war planetary defense. Most likely would be Used during a crisis like the Borg invasion of earth. I don't see this as a regular ship exploring the galaxy. Definitely a boarder patrol ship.
This was highly entertaining :D
Do you think this giant ship could survive point singularity projectile? (you know... from Gene's Andromeda)
Most likely but a nova bomb I'm not sure
@@thomas.parnell7365 I disagree. Nova bomb could destroy the entire system, including sun. It revers effects of blackhole. I don’t really think this ship could survive a nova bomb.
@@CaptainMarkReedit causes stars to go supernova using some esoteric effect like the trilithium torpedo rather than pure energy though, so it may not be that effective against ships.
@TVMrMarkii sounds like a simulation is required here
Love the ship. Now I am going to have to build one.
As a physical model? That'll be awesome! 😅😎
@@MSR-1701 Yes. Not sure what scale yet.
I bet "Red Matter" would mess it up. And that came out of the prime universe.
LOL, Red Matter would annihilate most everything, though not sure on the Borg...
(See the novel Vendetta, where a Borg Cube broke its way out of the Warp Bubble effect from the TNG episode Doc Crusher was trapped in...😳)
@@MSR-1701 If that's the one with the production model of the Doomsday Machine, I read it a long time ago but no longer have my copy of the book. I forgot the details of it.
I haven't read most of the Star Trek novels, there's too much for me to follow it all.
@@russward2612 you would be correct!
Also the book where the Borg assimilate the knowledge to Deal...😳
I like it. It can be used to search for Voyager before they found away home, but continued to explore the Delta quadrant . It can also be used during war as a forward operations base it pick up damage ships wounded troops can be beamed to medical rooms monitor star fleet borders that are high risk of conflict or not. It can be used to move colonies from dying or troubled planets, and lastly, it can be used against the Borg, Jem'Hadar, and the Voth after meeting them again.
"WE ARE THE FEDERATION! YOU WILL SUBMIT TO OUR AUTHORITY AND PREPARE FOR NEGOTIATIONS! RESISTANCE WILL BE ANNIHILATED!"
Sometimes things are just to big for combat like that. I could see this ship being used as a mobile starbase but it would be impracticable to enter into dog fights, as it would be too slow, and as you found out, to hard to maneuver!
Evasive Maneuver Pattern Epilepsy! Lol glad I medicated a moment before. Hilarious glitch, painful. Great ship
I don't know the shields seem extremely week for some reason to me. i guess its the this thing moves and hasto use most of its power to do so and not sit there and be a fortress.
WOW that was totally AMAZING the USS Basestar looks totally Amazing
1:45 I hope the Internal Dampeners are at maximum
Discus Manuver
Put a fleet of these against DS9
Given the pounding the Starbase took in Picard. I would put it as a ship that eclipses dreadnoughts. If the saucer section detaches you could either have a Starbase delivery ship or a ship carrier vessel for ships that are fight ready but can't warp in at the same time.
Its an gigantic aircraft carrier / mobile dry dock. It qualifies as a rue Flag ship and would be able to center of nearly any large scale operation the Federation under took. Evacuate a planet? Defend a large area of space? It'd spearhead exploration into new unexplored areas.
Cool idea. IMO a ship like this should have six nacelles, multiple warp cores and have its own small fleet of small ships in the Defiant to Intrepid range. It could be the super-long range explorer that the Galaxy Class was supposed to be when they were first developing TNG.
You know that "basestar" was the name of the cylon motherships in Battlestar Galactica :) Nice concept, but bigger isn't always better. The starbase orbiting earth is really massive, hard to imagine that even part of it would act as a ship. Maybe, if you build the real thing for us and take us for a ride, we can test it out and see for ourselves :)
Or planet relocation. Very Star Wars mindset in Star Trek.
i like it, but only for what i would use it for, i would modify it to have separation of the saucer, and allow the core to warp without it, and move the bridge tothe core, and use the ship to deliver the saucer to new colonies on the frontier to be used as the core of the actual star base they build/extend off the saucer... allow for rpid deployment and armed core special for hostile regions of space
makes sense as a forward supply/research/repair base. a fleet support base you can take with you
so starfleet created a mobile command base? well tactically it keep fleet command on the field in war time and in peacetime seeing this behemoth show up might make your average pirate think twice!
conceptually this is similar to a mobile repair yard i called a "Sentinel" it was huge easily the biggest ship i ever built for GC3 at the time but such things would only see combat if the frontline was pushed back to it as its a stategic asset for some serious deep space logistics. id imagine this being parked up somewhere safe near the front lines with freighters go to and from it while repairs are done to damaged starfleet vessels and recently repaired ones are leaving back to hold the line or fight who ever they had issues with.
also the crew requirements for such a beast would be huge and so starfleet probably could only field 1 of these bad boys.
The two... pilons, things coming from under the dome back to the nacelles, they hardly have any windows, while they're huge, there would surely also be people living in there, or labs, just, stuff, and windows, and most likely more nacelles, for redundancy, and because they probably have to use so much power so you can switch between sets and keep going.
Depending on how big it is, having a few Defiants and Akiras and Steamrunners etc in there might be a good thing, together with a bunch of fighters.
The inside would also of course be a repair bay.
And for the mass problem you have, it should basically have sublight engines on EVERY side.
And it would obviously have quite an accompanying fleet all the same.
Yes this video had hilarious result
WOW😮
So, an aircraft carrier for full-sized starships. Like with aircraft carriers, they aren't heavily armed themselves, but rely on their planes and the various escort ships for the majority of their defence. So, part of its "attack" strategy should be to launch various starships, shuttles/runabouts/fighters/etc.,
Indeed! In fact I'm looking at remaking this ship and giving it the ability to launch full size starships. Imagine a wing of Galaxy Classes or Defiants! 🖖
That thing could be a true juggernaut if it was designed for offense. it could launch a hurricane of torpedoes with basically unlimited magazine capacity. or it could be a carrier for like 200 Defiants that could swarm out.
This is basically a Starfleet Death Star. The Federation isn't in the business of cracking planets but it would be a shame to waste an opportunity.
It's a bit crazy to create weapons platforms and put as many civilians on it as possible. A mobile space dock could be more useful.
In my opinion the Constitution class remains the best sized ship or most missions we see in Star Trek. Exploration for months on its own, border patrol, defense and what not.
Galaxy class would be great for multi year missions, maybe even decades without returning to Federation space. It's rather wasted the way it's sent back and forth.
This thing would be great if you want to explore the other side of the galaxy and leave a network colonies on the way.
I think it needs less speed and better msnurability though the concept is a good one from a tactical stand point, you could deploy them as forward commsnd posts and have them launch loads of fighters to screen your incoming fleet
Only makes sense if it was designed around defensive systems and the best armour. Protect damage ships, supplies and repair facilities for starships.
I would have expected a lot more robust power from the shields and weapons. Overall looks like a neat concept. With a little more refining that would be a really cool way to recycle star bases. It also puts the trek universe closer to the star wars universe in terms of ship size.
THAT is a BEAUTIFUL ship....
The last starfighter manouver there.
I thought being a mobile star base was the job of the Odyssey class starship, but if you can't accommodate at least four Constitution-class Starships in your primary hall, then you can't officially call yourself a mobile base.
You spin me right round !!
Its like a mobile caravan..
I'm guessing that this ship would serve as a heavy repair facility for other Starships on outer less explored areas of the galaxy where a permanent Starbase isn't located or due to some threat or dangerous location, it wouldn't be suitable for a permanent Starbase to be built.
This might crash the game but Can you Put The USS Enterprise J vs The USS Basestar 😅
Do the borg vs the borg kingdom see who's more powerful
Oh that ship needs to open up and release a literal SWARM of galaxy class ships, which open up and release literal swarms of delta flyers and whatever elses
DS9 rules!
Spinning was a bad trick this time ahah
I've always wondered what would happen if they rigged up warp nacelles to Starbase One. This is probably as about as close as we'll get.
That's the top section of earth spacedock with warp nacelles lol
With a deflector shield that big... it could just push standard starships into a planets atmosphere
"The power of a statbase"
Which isn't possible as the power supply comes from the generator in the base of the long shaft under the mushroom cap of the station.
What we see on the ship it doesn't have enough room for the power supply needed for the ship to properly function.
This ship though interesting just isn't feasible.
Give it a secondary hull like say the shaft of the lower section of the star base but on its side under the mushroom cap connected by a short thick neck then add the pylons and nacelles.
Maybe not as "cool" looking but would make sense.
saucer is that of a mini-starbase. not big enough to fit in captial ships such as the galaxy/ody class's. But could fit many Defiant sized ships inside. and honestly the bridge would be much much bigger, for the size of the ship
This would awesome if it’s support craft could be 6 Miranda’s, 4 light cruisers, 2 support cruisers and while traveling 3 escort cruisers.
