Warp 5 was already possible - it was in the NX class. Vulcans had Warp 7 at that time also. However, indeed the romulan war would not have been won without andorians.
@@RedneckSpaceman Sorry but you are incorrect... Though the term "Pink-Skins" began as a term to define the suspicion the Andorians held for humanity, it quickly became a term of endearment as seen in Star Trek: Enterprise!
Well, I guess I'm part Andorian. I like cold weather, and I believe that Star Fleet should have a dedicated military branch for the defense of the Federation.
Ditto for me. I love the cold weather especially when it snows. I like the idea of it being retconned in regards to the Aries class. With the design being kept in service and upgraded. It then possibly leading up to the Akira being a design successor.
My favorite episodes in Enterprise is any one that has Shran show up, especially, the three episodes that truly start the Federation in earnest. Your video really brings all those feelings to the surface, for me as I think about what a fantastic team Archer and Shran was.
The Shran/ Archer team ups are also part of my most favorite parts of Enterprise, thats why I geared this story towards that :) I've even began to consider options for an Ashton Archer video ;)
Another of my favourites - of which there's a lot. This evolution of canon and side canon is always interesting. I'd never considered the design of Federation starships to be entirely human influenced. Indeed I considered them to be a mix of those old Earth cylinder designs and some alien saucer.
I really hadnt given much thought to the idea myself tbh, but Canon has suggested it over the 55+ years and Beta Canon has as well quite a few times...
To boldly go where no one has gone before, these words alone speak the mission of serving on ships that were not designed for humans but presented a challenge for those brave enough.
Our records puts the Loknar in the FASA Trek universe but for fun I do wonder if it was based solely on the NX or if the "Freedom" Class vessels had some part in that too as well if the early kelvin timeline shared an identical history and aesthetic with the primary timeline? There are many, many, vessels across even this multiverse we found and it's pleasing to see some lesser known still being worked into others. Curious to see what comes out of your drydock next, keep it up!
"Curious to see what comes out of your drydock next," I dont know why, but for some unknown reason to me, that sounds so dirty LOL Thank you so much for the support :)
Andorians are my favorite Federation member species! They're martial, without being bloodthirsty. Signal species crews have always been interesting to me, since I watched the TOS episode where the Intrepid shows up. Hell just the idea of having a Vulcan captain in a mixed crew is interesting! (Like Sisko's late captain.)
Would really love to see a Truth or Myth: Beta video on the SF Museum someday! First off, where is it located; in orbit, on a moon, in the Asteroid belt??? There is so much we still don't know about the museum, other than it is chock full of amazing and important ships. Hope that you can track down some info and put together an episode. Good luck and thank you!!
🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done and very well executed and informatively explained in every way shape and form and detail provided to you on this subject matter concerning the Loknar class starship's and it's history indeed!, And I myself have a very nice model resin kit of this ship in the refit design like the Enterprise with the upgraded nacelles and duel deflector dishes and so forth!,👌.
I do quite like this class. The NX has always been in my top 5. This may get close to that. To see that in a constitution refit skin would be pretty cool. Thanks for another great video.
Out of all the sites that cover ship design of the Fasa ships(This is the best in my opinion) None have ever covered the Pearl Class VII Mobile Repair Facility. I think if anyone can do this and do it right it is you.
This is awesome. It's very nice to see some FASA vessels in Star Trek. I love the species-specific background of this vessel and the USS Intrepid for the Vulcan crew. Integration of the crews was inevitable and by the TNG era...was paying off for the Federation.
Loved the FASA ships! The Loknar was one of the best and what a great backstory you gave it. I'd love to see one of the Chandley, or Menahga, and some of the others of that era!!
I like the mention of the all-Vulcan USS Intrepid. Was that lore taken from Diane Duane's TOS/TMP era novels? In them, they described how the Intrepid's nacelles were somehow different than the other Constitution class vessels.
I honestly believe that the federation decommissions ships far too quickly. There's 1 episode where the Enterprise D ( the flagship of the federation) poses as a derelict ship in a scrap yard to wait for pirates. I mean seriously! That's like putting Airforce 1 or a Tesla pickup in a junkyard. JUST AN EXAMPLE! It sticks out like a sore thumb. But they considered it normal for their most advanced starship to be in a scrap yard. Are they just scrapping galaxy classes for fun. Or the pirates must not be very smart. Plus why scrap ships at all? Even outdated ships can be used for something. Training maybe, Supply ships, evacuation ships, EXAMPLE, the world still uses propeller driven aircraft in the jet age. 🤔
I liked the historical narrative about single species crews and the challenges in integration across the Federation members. I do wonder where the deflector is in the Loknar class given how prominent the deflector dish is on the Saladin class.
Hopefully there will some be some creation empire games centering on player block building at a next gen level! Making it a cinematic experience as well with micro mngt optional! I could lose myself there!

I always wondered about other races ships. DS9 had the Vulcan only ship episode. But they never really address why you don't see more member species serving on Federation ships. Its always crewed with pink skins and tolken aliens. " im sure for costume budget reasons" but makes the humans look like overlords running things or dummies taking all the risks.
I was big into the STRPG and this class of vessel was my ship of choice. My characters name was Michael Anthony Daley. My ship was the USS TITAN NCC 2752 right out of the UFP ship guide.
Pretty sure there was a model of the USS Titan NCC-2752 a Loknar-Class ship in Riker's USS Titan Observation Lounge in Lower Decks. Love the old FASA designs.. well.. some of them..and Andorians have always been my Favs! :)
Normally not a fan of FASA designs but this one is decent. I don’t like the notches in the saucer and I would like to see the nacelles sit a little lower. At a glance it looks like a cross between the NX and the TOS Romulan warbird. Cool story with bringing in Archer’s descendant.
Could you do a video on the Star Fleet Battles diminutive Burke class fleet frigates (NCC-300 to NCC-349), launched in the 22nd century, that served in Star Fleet for nearly a century. Also the beta canon USS Asia (NCC-945) exploration light cruiser and her 4 sister starships.
A great looking class, but what did they do about the deflector dish (lack of?) also, does it look like the struts before the Nacelles could hold mission-specific labs or extra shuttles?
@@TriAngulumAudioStudios Where Kirk and Picard were pretty much doomed to become Admirals for their distinguished service, I always feel that Jonathan Archer was going to end up being trapped into becoming one of the first Presidents of the UFP. Would imagine Ashton would end up the same.
Having played FASA's STSCS back when it first came out I had a ton of fun with this class, and the Baker class as well :). I liked how you made the Loknar the design descendent of the NX class :). When the last JJ verse Star Trek came out I confused alot of people around me when I blurted out that the USS Franklin was a Loknar class ship lol. This was later confirmed in a article done by the people who made the ship model.
Informative video. Thanks for the share. I like the look of this ship. The NX-01 influence is there. It’s interesting to reflect on the notion of “human-centric” values being perhaps dominant in the early Federation. It’s also compelling to think about a starship crew that has a minority of humans. I understand from a production standpoint why humans are featured most often. That being said, it would be entertaining to have a television series depicting a Starfleet ship that is mostly crewed with aliens and a minority of humans. Potentially humorous & insightful observations.
It's honestly something I'd like to see more of in Star Trek, Federation ships designed by other species. It is not surprising that the other powers in the galaxy see the Federation as anthrocentric, the majority of the Starfleet is made by humans and for humans.
Thank You! I've always loved this design, and your history is really a cool way to give it some depth:) BTW, may I ask a favor? Could you use your talents to look into Perimeter Action Vessels? I think they're sort of "proto-cannon", and I'd really like to see what you could do with them:)
Another fun video. Quick question and related to star trek 2009, do you think that the admiral archer that Scotty was referring to was this one in the video?

So, if Andorians thrive best in Northern Canadian/Alaskan tempetature ranges how can they possibly tolerate being in a 68-72 degree human comfortable environment? Although, I as a human prefer high 50s/low 60s range.
Excellent story. If only CBS could have done stuff like this instead of Discovery. Might I suggest the Okinawa Class from the Starfleet Command game as a good segue into the TMP era FASA ships?
The idea of the Federation was noble truly, but from a human perspective they were the species with most to gain with the technological advantages of the other species - faster vessels, better defences like shields and phaser technology, better sensors, humanity had the benefit of being able to resolve isses and put aside differences as their advantage and their determination to keep improving themselves and surprising all species of the founing members of the Federation in one way or another gaining their respect, but thats just my thoughts, humanity when it came to technology were the weakest, I am sure if they werent held back by a number of factors it may have been better but sadly from what we see in Enterprise they were vastly outmatched with everything, even with improvements later on, just my thoughts that is. I can see that the Andorians may also have had their pride bruised a little being offered the opportunity that the Vulcans had for their own Constitution class, given their species are a bit more mirilatistic than the Vulcans and the sort of mission paramaters for the constitution class, it makes sense for them to be concerned in a way of defence and security of Federation territory, given how the races were brought together in the first place, especially the Andorians and Vulcans during the Xindi war - we didnt see many vulcan assists in that era only Shran really, I could be wrong though but I definitely remember seeing more of Shran and his ship than we did of any Vulcan cruisers. Besides utilising the technology from the different races would be challenging and the constitution would be an ideal test bed for that, while other classes were made for more specific jobs in the Federation fleet as a co existence fleet to incorporate the species while each species has their own defence forces anyway, except humanity whose fleet was Starfleet from the get go wasnt it? As for the fleet museum, I would love to see what ships are in that
What a load of absolute crap!! Just kidding, great episode. In my FASA Fleet, I had 1 Loknar and 3 Larsons. The two classes complemented so well that I didn't need any other additional ships.

Besides utilising the technology from the different races would be challenging and the constitution would be an ideal test bed for that, while other classes were made for more specific jobs in the Federation fleet as a co existence fleet to incorporate the species while each species has their own defence forces anyway, except humanity whose fleet was Starfleet from the get go wasnt it?
As for the fleet museum, I would love to see what ships are in that
Ah ha! Here it is ;) And so in conclusion you loved the video and the story I've come up with to tie together all Beta Canon?
When will you do Prodigy?
Mad Rabbit is correct, ALSO, I have to wait to have an actual model to use to make a video for it :P
Excellent episode pinkskin.
What a load of absolute crap!! Just kidding, great episode. In my FASA Fleet, I had 1 Loknar and 3 Larsons. The two classes complemented so well that I didn't need any other additional ships.
