USS Voyager could theoretically land squarely in a small park that's near my appartment. I could have a Federation ship in my own neighbourhood!

Dude what’s with NX-01??? No love for Captain Archers ship

[TPRQnet]

Me: "I'm not a Star Trek nerd."


Me: Stops the video to examine every diagram of the ships.

Star Trek: Convincing semi-fictional science
Star Wars: No science at all

[CRXnick]

Federation: we don't build battle ships
Borg: we are the Borg, surrende-
Federation: BUILD BATTLESHIPS NOW!!

"Voyager has the ability to land on the surface of a planet, which sets it apart from other Federation ships"

Only a sith deals in absolutes!!
Wait isn't that an absolute?

The Defiant class wasn't the only warship, just the only warship pre-Dominion War, During and after the Dominion War there were many warships designed and produced. Some examples are: Akira class, Sovereign class, Prometheus Class, and more. The Prometheus class was so powerful that in a Voyager episode (I don't remember which one) the Romulans captured it while it was on a testing cruise. It had a skeleton crew, otherwise they couldn't have captured it, but if the Romulans, who had very powerful warships anyway, wanted it's tech and firepower, then they know it was powerful. In order to capture and escort it back to Romulan space, they sent three D'deridex class warships, which are powerful enough to 1v1 a Galaxy class, and made Picard try and avoid confrontation at all costs with them in Next Generation (mostly). To recapture the Prometheus, Starfleet sent two Defiant class vessels and one Akira. Keep in mind that this is in the middle of the Dominion war, so Starfleet wouldn't send three of their most powerful ships to take it back unless it were important and very dangerous. One thing that made the Prometheus so powerful was that it had state of the art torpedoes, phasers, shielding, and could split itself into 3 pieces that could work together and each had significant firepower on their own. They were each basically a mini deployable warship. Sorry about the rambling, but I'm just trying to prove that Starfleet had more than one kind of warship.

How dare you, the original Enterprise is a beauty. She is a master class in ship design, that thing is beautiful from every angle.

Star Trek is my first love, so I appreciated this vid. Also love Star Wars, so I'm onboard with your channel. Thanks!

[wesleycurrier]

having star trek and star wars aspects together made me laugh xD.

[papa_xan]

How about the Excelsior? Or the Enterprise -C?

Also, a video on the non-federation ships would be great, .

[DiscoveryNewsNow]

how is comparing the Enterprise D to iss supposed to tell us how big it is? Most people haven't been to iss in years

[guillaumekaas]

Aaaah JJTrek ... " Imma make a bigger, sexier, tougher, meaner Star Trek ! " :D

[AndrewJamesWilliams]

What about the Odyssey-class ships featured in Star Trek Online which is kind of an official future tie in to the Next Generation/DS9/Voyager era. Those are 1021 meters long with the newest being the Enterprise-F after the Enterprise-E was destroyed by the Undine a.k.a Species 8472.

[andrewgardiner]

I would love to have seen the Akira and Excelsior class vessels as well.

Hell, in the original series films, Excelsior was like the deuteragonist vessel to the Enterprise's protagonist.

[Ambaryerno]

You forgot the Excelsior and Miranda-classes. Both workhorse starships that still saw extensive use in the 24th century despite being nearly a century old.
