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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 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.
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 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!”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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!
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 :)
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.
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
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 😂
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! 😅
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Loved the video but correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the triangle shaped attachment on the Nebula class is a weapons pod and the oval shaped one is the sensor pod.
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 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.
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 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
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)
Nice video. Have you made one about alien vessels seen in STTNG? I do recall that one, an autonomous defence drone in an early episode, was made from, I believe, shampoo bottles.
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.
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 😛
Personally, I would throw in the Sabrerunner-class _USS Passaro_ from Lower Decks’ Season 4 finale “Old Friends, New Planets”. A hybrid of the Saber and Steamrunner designs that Mariner managed to pilot in order to derail Nick Locarno’s plans.
I know this is about the kit bashes in the shows, but if anyone wants to see an extreme (and sort of in-universe) one look up the Scavenger Base from Star Trek: Voyager: Elite Force. It’s an amalgamation of a mirror universe constellation-class, a tng era Klingon bird of prey, a Malon ship, and a Hirogen ship. It has lived rent free in my head for over 20 years.
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.
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.
I surprisingly respect the Yeager Class, and I only learn of it NOW! It looks and feels like a "Scrap-yard ship" put together out of whatever folks could find. I can definitely see this in civilian ownership*. *Whether or not it would be legal for civilians to own such a class of ship is debatable. (but also more fun)
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.
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
Yes more episodes on the lesser known ships & related
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....
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. 😂

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

@@AndrewD8Red To be fair, the Moskva also proved a bit... "disappointing." lol
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.
I love the Yeager. Yeah it's ugly but I love it.

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.
Some of the kitbash ships are really cool! The Nebula and the Centaur are 2 favourites!
Thanks for highlighting those, um, improvisations on the models, guys!
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
I'm so glad to see two of my favorites in the #1 and #2 spots.
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.
This video and list were great Id love more ship videos like this!
"highlighter pens", well that has blown my mind
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 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
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
I love these kit-bashed ships!! Please make more of these shows!!
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!
I LOVE the Yaegar, my group playing Star Trek Adventures wanted one as their ship, lots of fun
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!”

🤙
yes I would love to see more videos of the lesser Star Trek ships PLEASE
"You know it's red, and it comes from your friend Chad".....Up. 😂
I love the Centaur Class. It's a perfect design for a Miranda-style Excelsior variant.
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
Always been a fan of the Intrepid-class. Especially after Voyager which is still my favorite series.
Personally really liked the Inteprid from Enterprise. Also like the Nimitz class the Europa from Discovery
That has to be one of the best sponsor ad's I have ever seen. Wish others would take note....
I don't know what it is about the New Orleans class, but I just love it.
awesome stuff! Sean is the reason why I watch so much Trek Culture
Love a starship. Backstory is never a bad thing, also.
Centaur and Ambassador Classes are two of my favorite ships I use frequently in STO.
when in doubt, add a few highlighter pens!!!

The half-saucer Intrepid type is such a good looking ship, and fits so well with the Enterprise era aesthetic.

I am sad we didn't see more of the Cheyenne Class, I would love a nice large model of one!
The Cheyenne class is my absolute favorite. I've always liked the nacelles. Which them being highlighters is hilarious.
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.
A big part of playing STO is all the ship designs, so many cool designs (both from the show, and originals)
More of this I must feed into the minatures, must have inspiration for kitbash.
Should I built a USS Yeager for my giant bluebrixx Deep Space Nine?
Ok, you made a commercial I actually enjoyed watching 🏆

also, how did you butcher Guillermo so bad?!
Forget the Yeager class, I want the Elkins now!
I always had a soft spot for the Yeager Class Starship. ☺
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.

It is literally an in universe kit bash ship!😆

The Curry is, as I see it, an Oberth-class made out of Excelsior and Miranda-class parts
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.
Actually just saw that episode with Picard's line about building ships in a bottle last night!
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.
I could watch lists of Trek ships all day long
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.
A Horgon on the sponsorship intro - that's cheating. I wasn't ready.

I consider it so as the immediate successor to the Saladin class
That American accent in the surfshark spot, it's getting better
Extremely good video and yes we would love more like it
How do you identify these tiny obscure ships in the background?
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 😛
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."
Personally, I would throw in the Sabrerunner-class _USS Passaro_ from Lower Decks’ Season 4 finale “Old Friends, New Planets”. A hybrid of the Saber and Steamrunner designs that Mariner managed to pilot in order to derail Nick Locarno’s plans.
But this is a video about kitcashes and the Sabrerunner isn't a kitbash, just a smaller than usual Steamrunner..
I know this is about the kit bashes in the shows, but if anyone wants to see an extreme (and sort of in-universe) one look up the Scavenger Base from Star Trek: Voyager: Elite Force. It’s an amalgamation of a mirror universe constellation-class, a tng era Klingon bird of prey, a Malon ship, and a Hirogen ship. It has lived rent free in my head for over 20 years.
Constitution class, the Constellation is the 4-nacelled TMP-style ship.
The Yaeger class looks like someone crossed a Voyager with an X-Wing 😂
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!!

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.
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.
The original enterprise, had razor handles for warp nacelles.
And a washing up liquid bottle for the body, and paper plates for the saucer.
Big, beautiful, fat and juicy YES for more episodes about ships.
The Yeager could be fixed by sharpening the “saucer” a bit more to hide the current look
I surprisingly respect the Yeager Class, and I only learn of it NOW!
It looks and feels like a "Scrap-yard ship" put together out of whatever folks could find. I can definitely see this in civilian ownership*.
*Whether or not it would be legal for civilians to own such a class of ship is debatable. (but also more fun)
