As you may have deduced, Alasdair (who edited this episode) is not a fan of the Yeager Class, and has therefore profaned this video with despicable Anti-Yeager graffiti. Why I keep him around, I have no idea.
And it was hilarious.
Love the editing.
LOL .. and I love Alasdair all the more for it! However, (as much as I hate the Maqui Raider too), I do like the concept of the Federation being in a position of desperately needing fighting ships quickly, so that atrocities like this are produced.
The best thing about this ship is that they just used two REVELL kits for this ship and slammed them together.
I remember when i build Star Trek Ships as a kid they were all from AMT/ERTL, then a set of 3 Ships from REVELL was released, the Voyager, Maquis Raider and a Kazon Ship.
So if you want to rebuild this thing in perfect scale, just get 2 Revell kits from somewhere and slap 'em together, DONE!
First star trek ship I could like or want that doesn't look like it has a structural weakness that could be exploited.
Who thinks Starfleet should really have two branches. Civilian and military then I could see the federation realisticly survive against other powers because KRALL was right peace makes the federation weak and millions pay for it every war.
Just a fun tidbit: this kind of Frankenstein creation has happened in real life. In WW1, when the Royal Navy needed every ship it could get to defend maritime supply routes against U-boats, the Royal Navy found a weird situation. One destroyer, HMS Nubian, suffered extreme damage in the bow from a torpedo. Another destroyer of a different class, HMS Zulu, had its entire stern ripped off by a mine. The back end of HMS Nubian and the front part of HMS Zulu were, however, perfectly fine. So, in a bizarre stroke of genius, the Royal Navy spliced the halves of both destroyers together to create an entirely new destroyer, a real life kitbash, as it were. And of course, because some admiral had a sense of humour, that new destroyer was promptly named HMS Zubian and commissioned into service.
And the best part? HMS Zubian performed well. The destroyer successfully rammed and sunk a German U-boat towards the end of the war. The USS Yeagar is a freak, but it’s in good company,
Looks like they were actually the same class, but the shipyards were given a lot of leeway. One had 6 smokestacks, while others had 3...
Yeah, "same class" typically means "the hull and decks have more or less the same dimensions" rather than "similar design".
I mean, some ships of the "same" class even have different depth, length, and number of decks, not to mention superstructure.
Also, the USS Abner Reed had something like that. It hit a mine, and it's entire back got blown off, some how was still floating, got towed back to drydock, and the builders decided that it was a good idea to weld a back on it. The stern was just recently found.
It's interesting that the two ships were both named after African tribes.
The HMS Zubian didn't actually manage to ram the U-Boat, but she did proceed to depth charge it to smithereens, still an awesome story.
I think I know what this ship is doing for you, and why you actually like it. Some of the angles of the images you've chosen made me realize what this ship actually is.
It's a Federation Bird-of-prey.
Yes, and we need more.
I came here just to say this.
i have to agree. and i will say that it shows that someone was A- paying attention to what was going on during the fighting during the war. and B- what their allies (the klingons) were doing.
the fact that it looks like a federation bird of prey is outstanding in its conception. someone was watching and thinking, we need fast ro buold cheep ships that can hit something and be felt. the klingons replace their birds of prey quicker than we replace our ships and they can hurt someone when they shoot. so if we take this part of this ship, and that part of that ship, and we put them together like this.... we get a fast to build functional ship that isn't going to destroy our economy. and we can strip them of weapons and sell them on the civilian market if we don't want to keep them.
which would make them a good ship to play with perhaps in the picard series maybe? just to see how they perform?
Realistically the defiant class was the federation bird of prey. They should have churned them out like Jem Hadar fighters
The Federation needs a defensive Navy made up of just yeagerand defients and maybe a bigger flagship in the same vein. Ooh and a carrier that carries defients like fighters.
Good news Ensign Kim you've finally reached Captain! Bad news......this is the only ship that needs a Captain. Lol
"Well... at least it's not an Oberth..."
TELL ME YOU WOULDN'T WATCH THAT!!!
Perpetually young ensing Kim, made captain of a mass produced ship, with a rookie crew that idolizes him for his VOY adventures, trying to become a leader.
He's haunted by images of Janeway and Chakotay constantly doubting his decisions like two perpetually disappointed parents.
He meets a woman he tries to date in every adventure and he always fails.
He'd be like a reverse Kirk.
@@Diego-zz1df if I had a billion dollars, I'd fund that.
"I would rather take a Miranda after all."
@@Diego-zz1df Captain Kim and his new command need to put in an appearance on "Lower Decks", that's all I'm saying.
Would the flagship of an all Yeager squadron be called the "Jagermeister?
How bout Gypsy Danger? :P
Jagerbomb
Yeagerbomb.
EDIT: Oh, cool, I’m not the only one with this idea! Cool!
@@hyrinshratu Or maybe the captain of the U.S.S.RED DEAR (jagermeister has a picture of a dear on it, and mixing that with red bull gets you a jagerbomb) could give the order to "deploy the jagerbombs" which could be torpedoes of some kind.
Funny, now get out 👉
“She’ll fly apart sir”
“Do it, we’ll get a better ship next time”
"Faster... faster!"
"Sir... she'll fly apart."
"Fly her apart, then! [END ST:VI QUOTE] We'll get a better ship. Anything is better than this crate."
"If we live through it..."
Oh no! You beat me to making a video on this ship! But I'll still do it, and you can't stop me!
Ah but is it Yeager Class or is it Just Yeager Type - as do we not know what the 1st ship of the class even is ?
The Class name usually comes from the Name of the First ship of the line. So the Yeager class is named after the Yeager Class USS Yeager.
yay! more love for Trek!
That there is another USS Yeager (NCC 65674) that isn't 'Yeager Type' or even a Intrepid Class variant makes it suspect that this ship is 'Yeager Class' (i.e. the 1st of it's kind) even if it is it's a bit peculiar to use a class naming ship less than a 2 years later following a Saber Class vessel (NCC 61947). This is why it's usually called Yeager Type as there isn't any official data on if it's Yeager Class, Yeager Type or just a Light Cruiser Intrepid variant. Especially as the Saber is "Supposed" to be a similar age as the Intrepid Class. So It's pushing it to Have the Yeager Type USS Yeager operating in 2375 at Deep Space Nine when the other Saber Class Yeager was operating near Earth in 2373 at the battle of Sector Zero Zero One.
That suggests perhaps that the Saber-Yeager was so influential that they named a class after it (one can choose the believe that) but I think it's more likely they just forgot they'd used the name Yeager already when making the show.
So I'd like CBS to say somewhere that either one Yeager is named in honor of the other - or than the Intrepid like Yeager isn't the class namer and / or there isn't even a class name for it other than Intrepid (variant).
But considering there are classes that are basically the same ship with different nacelle mounts - this ship changes a lot more than that. Also the other vessel that is derived from the Intrepid has the back end more or less normal and a new Primary Hull. almost like a completed Intrepid class was cut in half and welded to some left over parts to make 2 ships..
I would buy that for a quatloo! I would love it if it was in Star Trek online and it played a lot like the A-10 from the United States Air Force. Tough ugly and tons of Firepower.
This ship (genuinely) is the essence of what makes a sci-fi show great. just think of it, they could call the photon torpedoes “jaeger bombs”
captain should be called the Meister

I always liked the look of this ship. I like the idea of factions having to cobble together ships to fight in an unexpected war.
This reminds me of that ship/station from the Voyager FPS game.
It's a fusion of TOS Federation & Klingon parts.
actualy this looks like completely purpose build battle ship for me. not like: ermagerd the merqui are envadinjg we need a shep. grab some stuff and weld it toghether? nope get some guys and design a complete ship from scratch with pre exsiting parts from diferent ships and build the weaponry around the strenghts and the weaknesses of the finished design. the enterprise and other ships in ST do not even look like they have any weapons or good points for placement or defensive systems but this looks like a ship build to take a beating and then shit back double the pain.
@Irobert1115HD
Yes, I know.
I was saying Mit's comment reminded me of the mash-up station/ship.
It's especially apt since the previously pacifistic/defensive Federation received a grim reminder at the massacre that was Wolf 359. It reminded humanity of an ancient and poignant adage: if you want peace, prepare for war.
I love this ship. It shows the need that the fed had at the time. Second fav only to the defiant

This is funny to me.
During WW2, EVERYONE was Frankensteining warships, and other vehicles. The US made Aircraft carriers called "escort carriers" were built by taking a commercial freight ship hull, and slapping a deck on top, with a few elevators. Germany converted fishing trawlers into coastal defense ships, removing all of the fishing equipment and fitting a cannon on the front, an anti-aircraft gun on the back, and loading up the deck with depth charges to draw submarines up to the surface. A lot of countries converted construction and farm equipment into makeshift "tanks", which were more like slowly moveable armored bunkers. Speaking of bunkers-some countries would take the turret of a tank, and slap it on top of a concrete tube connected to a bunker and tunnel network, making them into anti-tank pillboxes.
So it makes sense that humans, in time of war, continue to make cheap, reliable, easily produced auxiliary ships they can fill up with guns, and throw out in numbers, on pre-existing designs. It would make sense to strap a saucer section onto a different "drive" section of another ship class
Completely agree, I think the Galaxy and Nebula used the same saucers (say, if they had to separate the ship in an emergency), then they would just warp in another drive section. Even better, they could have different shipyards focusing on specific components.
Sorry, but that comparision is stupid. The real comparisions would be, if someone scaled up a fletcher destroyer rear half by the factor 3, and then put a baltimore class cruisers front to it.
Scaling up in this detail makes no sense, Fed ships never combined that way, and the Maki raider design wasnt great in the first place. Its not even recycled, because it mustve been a complete rebuilt considering Raiders are acutally smaller. It make no sense. Its a lazy, ugly kitbash that even it makers probably wish would never get any attention; it was supposed to be background noise.
@@termitreter6545 no one made any comparison here. All I did was point out a historical fact that supports the idea of converting 1 type of vessel into another.
And its Maquis, not Maki
@@danvondrasek So you spoke about conversions under a video about a conversion, but you werent comparing the idea of conversions? Really?
Also, OPs dumb ship isnt even a conversion.
@@termitreter6545 no, because I didnt.
I mentioned historical precedent and examples of militaries modifying commercial platforms or military vehicles to fill other jobs.
I didnt compare any ships to anything.
If they put it in STO, I will literally create, film, and voice an entire machinima series based around the crew of the U.S.S. Yeager where all of the exterior shots are with the ship in the foreground and DS9 is relegated to the background. The entire series will take place as after action reports by the crew to the captain and explain why they are docked at, or hanging around, DS9 ALL THE FREAKING TIME.
Script snippet off the top of my head.
[EXTERIOR: U.S.S. YEAGER IN FORE, DS9 IN REAR]
Voiceover
---------
Lt. Jorgensen: Captain, our docking and maintenance request has been denied, we've been asked to assume a holding pattern around Deep Space Nine.
Capt. Redd: What? WHY?
[CUT TO INTERIOR, BRIDGE, USING OLD STYLE VOYAGER BRIDGE IN THE DIMMEST COLOR SCHEME AVAILABLE IN STO, CAPT. REDD HEMD SITTING IN CAPTAINS CHAIR, LT. JORGENSEN AT CONSOLE BEHIND]
Lt. Jorgensen: Well sir, Chief O'Brien's saying that there's some kind of problem with one of the upper docking pylons, and there's a bunch of Klingons taking up the lower docking pylo--
Capt. Redd: Yeah, okay. Fine. Klingons. Problems. The usual. Well, I guess just... I don't know... Fly around or something until there's a spot for us to dock. Wait... Why are we here, again?
Lt. Jorgensen: .... because of the huge hole in the hull with only the damage control forcefields - which are failing, I might add - are the only thing keeping about a quarter of the crew from behind sucked out to the blackness of space?
Capt. Redd: Can't Pymple like... Increase the forward power... Density... Thing and you know... Fix it?
Lt. Jorgensen [irritated]: Sir, Lt. Cmdr PYM isn't exactly a whole compliment of worker bees and industrial replicators. He can't just... "Engineer it away", as you're so fond of demanding he do.
Capt. Redd: Awww c'mon! Ol Pymple can do anything. Give the kid a tricorder and a hyperspanner and he can fix anything!
Lt. Jorgensen: With all due respect, sir, this is a massive hole. In the hull. Put there by Romulan plasma weapons. After... Well, sir, after YOU said they were just bluffing and that whole "neutral zone thing" is more a suggestion than a rule. If their singularity drive hadn't suddenly destabilized, sucking their entire ship into a miniature black hole, we'd be at risk of all out war with the Romulan Star Empire!!! ....sir.
Capt. Redd: Yeah... But... No harm, no foul, right? As long as everyone sticks to the story that Ensign Doofy
Lt. Jorgensen: DUFFY! ...Sir.
Capt. Redd: Right, Duffy... If everyone sticks to the story that Ensign Duffy got us a little too close to that asteroid during a routine training exercise, no one will ever know.
Lt. Jorgensen: [sarcastically, though the captain seems oblivious]: Right... As long as we stick to the story that an Ensign at the helm crashed us into an asteroid and then was somehow sucked into space through a hole FIVE DECKS AWAY on the OTHER end of the ship, no one will ever know we violated the sovereign space of the Romulan Star Empire.
Capt. Redd: EXACTLY!
HOLY CRAP THATS HILARIOUS
I'd support this series on Patreon.
people in charge of STO ship development, GET THE YEAGER CLASS IN THE GAME SO THIS GUY CAN DO HIS SERIES!!!!!! that would be awesome!!!
I'd watch the hell out of this! :D
This legitimately seems interesting to watch
It looks like a "Starfleet" bird of prey . And that's cool. It could be a story about a Klingon/Starfleet joint operations crew and captained by Worf.
Brett Magnus I totally agree, how it has an intimidating posture as well!
It'd be interesting if they were actually kind of a joint effort (for some reason) with the Klingons and thus happened to be able to defeat the Breen energy dissipators.
That’s it!!! I totally agree
Good general idea, but not captained by Worf. Lost every fight he ever got into, that guy.
@@kevincrady2831 maybe his brother?
Star Trek: Yeager would actually be a great idea for a TV or book series. Paramount could reuse the sets from voyager. Disreputable crew gets the ship no one wants. Stuff is constantly breaking down because it's all kludged together. They fly around the quadrant dealing with all the dirty jobs no one else wants. Multi episode arcs dealing with piracy along the fringes of Federation space (Breen privateers are allying with Orion raiders!). Could be tons of fun.
Hell yeah that was my first thought as well! The ship is all worn out cus it was
built in a hurry during a war. It’s not considered a good posting so the crew doesn’t really want to be there. But the captain has to get the crew all working together to keep the ship flying and do a job that no one wants but needs to be done.
lol the sets from voyager will be long gone. that show ended almost 20 years ago
Love the concept for the show, but not the design of the ship. There are far more stylish ways to make an ugly, function-over-form kind of ship.
John Gresham - You're contradicting the point of those ships. They aren't supposed to be stylish, at all, not in the slightest, 0%. They put no thought into the "style" of the ship whatsoever, that is how you get ships that look like that.
Better concept than "Discovery," that's for sure.
I am a sucker for designs that look like they were built in a cave (WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!) This thing is ugly in the same way an A-10 Warthog is ugly. Which is to say: I can't hear the hate over the amount of firepower I'm unloading right now!
Love the A 10 Warthog reference. Ugly as sin aircraft we still use today due to the insane amount of firepower it brings to the area of operations. Slow but excellent air to ground platform
Puma1Sunfire1 You can't do the A-10's job with a fast jet, the fact that the A-10 is a jet that can do that job is a miracle. Most other aircraft of similar role are propeller driven.
+David Lemmo Yeah. No suprise the Frogfoot looks exactly like the Thunderbolt.
I think it would look better with the 'fins' at the back removed, and just a flat rear.
A-10 is BUFF. Voyager is sexy slick modern with what I believe the correct size.
A frontline ship like Galaxy Enterprise D with a thousand crew dares technological difference with new alien races that could actively rendering 1000 lives gone in seconds. During borg conflict, federation literally throw away lives in millions with big sized ships.
I don't think many fans hated the voyager. Why? because the new enterprise sovereign class RESEMBLES the voyager.
In some obscure novel in trek expanded universe it’s stated that the federation, after establishing contact with the Pakled, outsourced those little “maquis raider” ships to them. They got the specs wrong and built them HUGE. When delivered the Federation had no idea what to do with them until the Dominion war and fused the built intrepid parts to them as they were readily available....viola! Yeager....
that at least makes more sense than the "replicator story", they send the measurements in us metrics, wrongfully expecting SI-measures to only get some even wierder alien-measures...
The Pakled are very good at making things go. you give them a thing that does not go, they will make it go.
I'm convinced the pakled are incredibly smart and pretend to be dumb so people underestimate them. also maybe have a largely non verbal native form of communication.
Some Admiral: Gawddammit, I told them we shouldn’t have outsourced! Now what are we going to d-

We build our own BoP. With blackjack and hookers. :-D
At this point in post TNG Cannon I think we are past due for a collaborative effort between the Klingons and Federation! Considering the recent conflicts and the state of their respective fleets the Klingons getting by with a hodgepodge of largely outdated ships and the Federation breaking new ground with Cutting Edge combat centered chips it would make sense for a bit of sharing to go on, Federation bird of prey style ships Klingon versions of defiant or akira-class ships. Whatever justification needs to be thrown together to make this happen it's fine by me LOL
I was going to say it looks a bit Klingon. I like it.
I've always thought Federation ships designed primarily for combat borrow a lot from the Klingon aesthetic. But who else would you look to for 'inspiration' when it comes to blowing stuff up?
Well I have to admit, the idea the Federation bolted whatever they had lying around together to get new ships into action as quickly as possible makes sense. It also explains why so many older ships were on screen during the battle sequences. Bring all those mothballed ships back up to operating standard.
And that reminds me of a potential topic for a future video. How long could a star ship realistically remain in service? Naval ships and fighter jets generally get retired after 30 or 40 years because of the conditions they have to operate in and subsequent rising maintenance costs, but couldn't a ship in the vacuum of space serve a lot longer?
Also in space you get whiskars on your electronics wich can make them go crazy for absolutely zero reasons if im not mistaken (which I often am)
The Centaur class was a mix of Excelsior and Miranda at least.
Some of the larger ships built in ww2 have been repurposed and are still being used
+greg20067 Which ones are still being used? I thought the Iowas were the last ones in service and those have all been semi-retired into museum ships.
@@AdmiralBlackstar one I was just on the Zeus originally is now called the Gordon Jensen is now a fishing vessel
I actually love the way that ship looks, halfway between a star wars ship and star trek ship. The explanation of industrial replicators actually makes a lot of sense too, it seems like something a desperate nation at war would do.
A good case for a terrible opinion.
That said, this ship ABSOLUTELY deserves to be in STO.
Correct, so we can name it the USS Mistake
Does it deserve to be in that mess of a game?
@@joehayes9933 yes.
The angular parts kind of look like a Klingon/federation hybrid which is cool. Not hard to imagine the federation adapting design features from a long time rival known for their warships.
david minard it almost reminds me of a Bird of Prey.
That’s exactly what I thought too. It’s a federation-style Bird of Prey. Meant to be quick, cheap, and expendable ship in a time of desperation in war.
I didn’t know anything of it beyond the establishing shots, so it seemed a logical conclusion; that it could maybe be even a hybrid ship.
Maybe built in a dual shipyard, one side federation, and the other Klingon, and a merging yard in the middle. That way you could install both phasers, disrupters, and both kinds of torpedoes; making it a formidable warship.
Its the most gorgeous and eye-pleasing atrocity ive ever seen! Thank you Spacedock for gifting me this sight!
I love "beautifully hideous" ships, the Uglies in Star Wars for example, I always loved them, I think they have so much character and story behind them.
Me too. Except the the one that is the TIE cockpit with the Y-Wing engines strapped to it. It just looks stupid. Compounded by the fact that flying one in combat is almost certain death.

Soooo, who am I shooting?
I've just had a thought, the saucer section interior be really fancy and spacious while the engineering section is incredibly cramped and livable at best. I mean, wouldn't that facilitate a heavy class divide on the ship between the two halves of the crew.
I mean, pretty sure they all live in the saucer. Secondary hull is all workstations, shuttle bays and main engineering.
Looks like a Federation Bird of Prey.
A slightly prettier version of what Discovery could have been?

It would be a good ship to use against the Borg as they would not be interested in assimilating it.
Equally, though, they would likely be resistant to any of its weapons.
If it can hurt them, then it's something new. They'd be interested in assimilating it. If it can't hurt them, then it's something old. They wouldn't be interested in assimilating it. You can't really win either way.
Unfortunately they may want to assimilate the crew and finding some kazon recruits would be a bit difficult.
Correct me here, but it looks like a Federation Bird of Prey
I kinda get that feel to. Like a federation / Klingon hybrid
It does. And it’s beautiful
Yes, it does...and the Klingon Bird of Prey is one of the best designs in Star Trek for me, so I can't understand the hate for the Yaeger class either, Star Trek has very little ugly ships, most of them have something to them to like and this is certainly an eyecatcher. I think it's some sort of uncanny valley effect, people see the Intrepid class as normal and this is slightly off normal like a sick person, would this have been there before the intrepid class (and most ST ships would have that kind of design) people would have the Voyager, I'm pretty sure of it...
Not necessarily a bad thing. If the Federation wants to develop warships, why not go with a tried and true design?
@@oddish4352 Exactly, vehicles and tools which has to serve a certain purpose ultimately look similar if designed well. Even from history we know that this can happen without any influence, this makes sense and here they even have the knowledge from countless other worlds, so why not.

Where would you fit the saucer section though. even if you're upscaling to fit one of the other it would look almost the same really. It might look cool if you fit it to the primary hull of the engineering section though.
I think I must be the only person that likes the design of the Oberth. For a small, dedicated science vessel with minimal combat role... I like it. It looks friendly.

It'd be interesting to see a TV show with a Yeager as a centerpiece. Sort of a 'even the crew thinks this ship sucks but it proves itself' concept.
This would make a great ship for Lower Decks as an eventual "worst upgrade ever"
😂😂😂 Oh Paramount PLEASE put the Yeager class in Lower Decks! Please! We need to see the reactions!
Holy crap I thought I was the only one!
I think I like it too
I thought it was kind of a neat design, like a mix of two things never meant to be put together slammed together out of necessity. Granted I see why people would think it looks silly, but its better then the uglies from star wars
"its better then the uglies from star wars" Nah. Same concept, different Sci-Fi universe.
Yeah, but this at least works on some levels, the head of a intrepid on a wider back end looks visually appealing. The uglies had no style what so ever, like the Y-tie that looks like it wants to die
The point of most Uglies in star wars is that they are terrible in no sane person would fly them bar a few actually good ones.
like the Clutch or those "Death's Head" ones the Twi'leks used.
It's the A-10 Warthog of Federation starships.
No.
The A-10 Warthog is beautiful. A magnificent gun that can fly. Its beauty is unmatched. Ask the men and women in the field who are pinned down by enemy fire, what plane would you like to see coming in low and slow? It would be the A-10 Warthog and the sound of that giant gun laying waste to the enemy line. BRAAAATTT, BRAAATTTT!!! Mission over, well done.
@@KipdoesStuff Yeah! It is NOT a cobbled together kitbash of a frigate.
The Yeager class ship reminds me of the Miranda class. When the Wrath Of Khan was in production they needed another Federation ship to take on the Enterprise but didn’t want another Constitution class ship so the Miranda class science vessel was born. I love the Miranda design and quite like the Yeager class too.
I want to a show with a Yeager Class ship as a hero ship.
Yeah and it should be completely over powered. Like the Defiant and Prometheus make a baby and that baby makes babies with the Enterprise D from All Good Things then that baby makes babies with Voyager from the finale and that baby is genetically engineered by Section 31 under the guidance of "The Sisko".
I'd love to see that. And yeah, it really should be totally overpowered - but prone to break all the time.
Now so do I
I'd want a scene where the Yeager just breaks down in the middle of combat, but the enemies can't scratch the hull, so it's just them sitting there, getting repeatedly shot at.
I want this too now! And it should be OP like the version in the Ultimate Universe mod for ST Legacy.
That ship is like a metaphor for the whole Voyager show!
Actually I kind of like the look of it.
i kinda like it too. I don't know if i would like a whole fleet of them but it is kinda cool.
I also like the look. Looks more intimidating. Federation Bird of Prey anyone?
Why not - there's a Starfleet copy of a TOS era Romulan Bird of Prey on the internet!
I like the Yeager - at least the crew doesn't have to wait for the nacelles to move into position when they need to go to warp speed!
I really like the design of this ship and wonder why people tend to hate it, It seems like a reasonable looking design
I don't think many fans hated the voyager. Check out the sovereign Enterprise F and why it looks like the voyager big brother.
Because it's not pretty
@Grumbel Bumbel There was a lot of inconsistent writing with Voyager particularly with Janeway, that even Kate Mulgrew the actress who played Janeway thought the character was crazy
"Captain Riker, congratulations on your promotion and new command!"
"Well thank you sir, I don't want to spend one more instant as that bald ****'s first officer."
"Great! There is one catch..."
"..."
"..."
"...you know, I really love the Enterprise and I can't imagine ever leaving it."
Better than the actual reason he gave the first... was it two or three times?
I have a habit of falling in love with kitbashed ships, I loved the Centaur-class long before Axanar gave us the Ares-class. The configuration of the nacelle's being placed under the superstructure did a great job of broadcasting the ship's role as a robust and scrappy warship. The Yeager looked like the kind of Star Trek ship you'd see in fan made episodes, probably crewed by gritty rogues like Firefly or the crew of the Millennium Falcon. It's got that civilian aftermarket modification-look that lacks the sleek and functional design of the Federation, I love it. Maybe it would be more at home with the Maquis but I think this ship would have done better as a one-of-a-kind vessel under the command of some plucky privateer. As kitbashed designs go this is one of the more imaginative ones, I can easily see it as some half built or half destroyed Federation ship that some private citizen rescued from a Federation scrap yard and then refitted it piece by piece with Treknology from all over the quadrant: maybe a Farengi holodeck, a medbay full of Vulcan medical technology, maybe a Klingon cloaking device illegally purchased from shady merchants, maybe shields and weapons clandestinely acquired through trade with the Cardassian Obsidian Order, maybe a major MacGuffin to make the ship super important and unique in the Trek Universe like a (mostly) functioning transwarp drive reverse engineered from salvaged Borg tech. Let your imagination run wild, the Yeager design can easily sell these scenarios and God knows how many more. Good analysis, loved this upload, and thanks for spotlighting kitbashed vessels. They're a passion.
My go-to theory for that design is that they were working on a new civilian design based on the existing (much smaller) Juday/Condor-class, at the same shipyard that had one or more unused Intrepid shovel-sections (possibly from very damaged ships, rather than new builds). The Dominion War starts, they experience serious ship losses, and the Yeager is added to the emergency Frankenstein Fleet.
Wasn't the Intrepids' engineering section a novel design of variable geometry and thus really difficult to replicate without the newest cutting edge tools, molds, shipyards & especially parts? I can see how the 'off the shelf' parts requisite would steer the design towards something that was essentially 100% tried and true by backwoods frontier partisans no less. So, fan productions out there, can u do a miniseries where cliques of cadets at Starfleet engineering school compete to win this design contest? Perhaps a prequel? Or how this gem was buried in 5th place only to be resurrected by dire necessity along with it's Maquis engineers rescued from penal colony? That would mean the Condor began it's concept life as a starship and later was shrunken by it's designers when they joined the Maquis. Maybe this was what Nog was referring to when he said that his old man (Rom) could've been a great engineer?
I have a space in my heart for odd ships like this one. I always thought it was a rather cool design. My favorite odd ships are the "junkers" like Serenity and the Millenium Falcon, but especially that flying wreck, "The Betty" from the Alien series. I would love to see an analysis of that ship. Thanks
As a star wars fan I'd be in a glass house if I took the piss out of a kit bash 😂😂😂
I rather be in a Yeager than a Oberth
Exactly, at least the Yeager has teeth.
The aft section looks more heavily armoured as if the warp core would be better protected and more modular. The nacelle pylons also have the appearance of being almost bolt on to me this makes it a ship that can take more damage before being destroyed and also have parts just swapped out meaning less time in space dock as you could swap out a damaged section instead of trying to repair it. This suits the mindset of a wartime federation suffering mass losses where they have to abandon the usual form over function mindset and make something they can get back onto the battlefield quickly
We need a series where the Yeager saves DS9s night shift on an episodic basis.
I like the design a lot. Like you pointed out I like the wide stern look. To hell with the federation. They are arrogant 's. It's long past time to get away from the pre-Borg mindset. It only took the greatest loss of ships in federation history for them to begrudgingly (kicking and screaming) to design and build one dedicated warship. The Origional series Fed ships were equal combat and exploration. By the time of TNG they were exploration ships mixed with cruise liners. This looks like a war ship. The Yeager class of ships remind me of the Klingon ship because of the warp cell location and construction. The Klingon ships were war ships first and everything else third.
I think that I would've been more accepting of it if they themselves had been more accepting of it. It's, strictly speaking, something the showrunners wanted to sweep under the rug as much as possible because they also thought it looked a tad silly.
I think, if it was featured more prominently and had an in-series explanation of it's design, there's be less disdain for it. Not a whole lot less, but a bit.
I think it could've even had it's own episode. Going off of what you said, maybe a few ships are heading to the front lines straight out of dry dock and one of them breaks down near the border. The Defiant has to go in and quietly try to repair it before they get spotted by the enemy. Then at the end, the enemy does show up and the Defiant tries to convince this newly promoted captain who's just been given his first command to evacuate, but he refuses and puts the shields up so the engineering teams can't return to the defiant and instead have to keep working. In the nick of time, they do get the ship operational and it throttles the dominion forces because it was built to be a combat ship in the first place.
I like the idea of an emergency ship being cobbled together from available parts. It hearkens back to late World War 2, when militaries were running dangerously short on material, and begun throwing together cheap yet effective weapons from whatever spare bits they had lying around.
Not late, early!
When their industries weren't converted yet, and they were in a complete panic to throw all the kitchen sinks into the fight 😆
"It's a beautiful, beautiful hideous ship."
...I don't know why, but, I kinda laughed my ass off when I heard that line.
I totally agree with you! Never was a fan of tiny warp nacelles, or too thin connecting sections between nacelles and secondary hull. Looks too much like an obvious structural weakness. This design looks sturdier, yet just as effective, if not more. The only problem with it is that it looks way too much like a starfighter, thus creating an uncanny valley effect, for a spaceship. Always thought that could works as a Federation-Klingon hybrid, if they had taken inspiration form a Negh'var.
ST: Lower decks will probably have this as a ship of the week eventually.
:D I've always liked the Yeager as well.
I think it was a missed opportunity to show just how much the Dominion was impacting the federation. Not just pulling surplus ships out of mothballs and recalling ill equipped ships from long term missions to fight the Dominion... But literally raiding the spare parts bin to cobble together wartime emergency ships.
And aside from that, I agree, the forward swept 'wings' skirting either side of the elongated saucer hull makes it look oddly capible as a sub-light skirmisher.
maybe those huge vents at the back give it some really good impulse maneuverability?
#yeagerforsto #kitbashforthewin, I agree decent premise for a kit bash and I think there should be more included in STO. New faction that only uses kit bash ships?
You could call the faction "Bashers."
If a new faction is made that is using kitbash ships it would be interesting to see what kind of "odd" yet unique ships coming out from it wouldnt mind it
@@westforlols1425 The horror the horror
That particular faction of exclusive kitbashers is already in canonical Trek. They kitbash everything and everyone they run across...
"We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."
ah but the Borg are uniform in their kit bashing, it is all spheres, cubes and tubes. not true kit bashing where each ship is unique.
I want it in startrek online,,, its my favourite ship
#YeagerSTO
As more a fan of the Halo UNSC ships, I love this ship more then any of the other Federation ships, mainly because it looks like it was made by actual humans for War and not far too sleek design to the point that it looks alien. The only Sleek design I really like from Star Trek is the Sovereign and that's really only because it looks like the normal Federation ships war-ifyed (is that a word?)
I am 97.4% certain that that is not a word.
I like those odds
militarized....?
The Great Destroyer *cuts you off* thank you Data, that will be all.
Petition to have this ship show up in Lower Decks.
It's like pineapple on pizza, lots of people hate it but just trying to convince someone likes it that it's bad is impossible. But I agree, it definitely fits the whole "We're desperate for ships" feel.
I think it’s totally possible as a emergency war production ship. Like you said, we need ships and we need them now.
we need them yesterday!
The SS Yaeger; to boldly go where no pub crawl has gone before!
We don't lift a hyper spanner about Klingons using Three different sizes of Birds of Prey, yet this ship gets the Rodney Dangerfield treatment(getting no respect).... It only looks like a raider on the outside, it could have been a civilian design that was dependable and quick to produce(perfect for a war). It's the Liberty Ship(only for actual combat/scouting(?))of the Dominion war. A reliable propulsion system with excellent sensors and maybe with a pair Kludged together pulse phasers, nice work. I don't think Jem'harda care if the ship is "pretty" or not. Hopefully they never get that chance and are atomized.
AlphaRaptor2k6 , speak for yourself. I detest the cheap ass use of a model designed for a twelve man crew to be scaled up to the size of a Galaxy Class. As good as Yesterday's Enterprise is, I had a difficult time with those gigantic Bird of Prey ships. It is silly looking.
As someone who actually didn't notice this ship until you pointed it out to me, I quite like it. You do make a good point, regardless of the "correctness" of canon. #YaegersForSTO LoL
# yeagersforsto
I never laughed so much watching an episode of Spacedock before.
lol, as many shuttles as the plot demands XD
I don't know why people dislike the T-34 tank type ships of space going species. They're cheep, easy to produce, easy to manage, and easy to repair. They are the perfect ships for long drawn out engagements where firepower and survivability are a necessity. Sure they're not good for long distance or long term deployments on their own, but in a full scale defensive and offensive setting these kind of ships are worth more than the best heavy cruiser. Heck, in halo the Paris, Charon, and Stalwart class frigates were the mainstay of the UNSC fleet. Sure they were slaughtered in mass, but the heavier ships such as the destroyers, cruisers and carriers did no better. The only plus for the frigates was that they were easier to replace and produce. They were the T-34s of Human/Covenant war. And when other fictional universes develop their own version it is extremely enjoyable. Because you know things are serious when you see your favorite characters at the helm of a ship operating in zerg rush tactics. It adds another level of drama and risk to the universe. You feel for the people crewing them. You feel their frustration at the situation. You feel their fear as they see weapons that can gut their ship just as easily as one of the more expensive ships. And you feel their hope when they manage to take out an enemy ship that costs more to produce then their own.
M4 sherman>T-34
M4 sherman was better
@@granddukeofmecklenburg I dunno man, T34 had better armor, a good gun, and was still easy to produce
I like the Yeager class look. It looks like it could have a landing ability like Voyager does. There could be a Maqui back story to it, and it had this rogue captain in star fleet that was sympathetic and would occasionally help them. There are so many directions to go with the Yeager class
They can say what they want, but I've always loved the Yeager Class when I first saw it!
LOL LOL LOL!!!!! X3"
I can see this ship in a TV show as a stolen pirate vessel or a decommissioned mercenary ship after the war :3
This thing looks like the Federation’s vehicle in a quadrant-wide, spaceborne demolition derby. Love it.
Thank you Spacedock, this video has given me the courage to say this.
I un-ironically like these kitbash designs too, my personal favourite is the Curry class.
But, but...
But it's just an Excelsior Class with all the pieces rearranged
I agree, let's get this in STO, make sci heavy escort that can pack DHCs , Boff seating Lt. Commader temporal ops/engi Commander Sci, Lt COmmander Universal, LT Tac. Ensign Universal. 4 Tac consoles, 5 sci, 3 engi
Seredipity don’t count on it.
Tbh this ship does look rlly cool i like the idea of "we've got loads of intrepid parts and we should just oversise a makee ship and stick them together"
I kinda like it; it's ugly but in that 'rugged and tough' kinda ugly that works.
Please, I'd love to have that in STO
OMG, I know years later, but this just popped up in recommended. Dude, I laughed my butt off when you said "beautiful beautiful hideous ship" You won me over instantly when you said that! :)
My favorite ship is the Defiant...a true warship....
Spacedock Civil War 2 British lads debate over a contraversial ship (honestly i would love to see that)
I love this ship. Love it, love it, love it. I like to imagine that someone found a recoverable Intrepid class saucer section adtift, yoinked it, and welded it to their big ass junker cargo ship. It's awkward and almost a weird futuristic kind of art deco in a way. But I freaking adore it. The Star Trek: Timelines game recently added it in as a playable ship & I immediately made it my main. My favorite Trek ship of all time is the Dauntless (the fake Federation ship from the VOY S4 finale), but the Yeager is a damn close second. ❤😊
The scale makes no sense. It's like the saucer of a Galaxy attached to a giant Runabout.
Thomas Kirkness-Little , agreed. It just looks dorky.
I would have disguised it better, by removing the rearmost components.
LOL
its been 2 years and I still love the design of the Jaeger class, anyone have a high resolution wallpaper for this ship?
That ship looks absolutely amazing. I always thought it was weird that the Federation is constantly going for this "streamlined"-"sleek" look for space travel. It's as if you placed an aeronautical engineer in charge of starship development. It happens even with the Romulans and Klingons, if you look closely.
The USS Yaeger, however, solves this sort of logic by mashing it with some foreign stuff, which I LOVE!
One thing I never understood about Star Trek ship design is putting the engines and sometimes the main saucer on the big stalks....It creates GIANT structural weak points that allow a well placed shot to just cut the engines clean off the body of the vessel as well as leave the engines completely exposed. They show something similar in the last Star Trek movie when the mining swarm just cuts off the engines and bridge disk in seconds. The Enterprise itself is the best example of this MASSIVE design flaw.....
This is done for a variety of reasons, but generally doesnt matter in a combat scenario due to structural integrity fields, basically the impact gets stretched over the entire hull.
Once these field are offline, nothing stops anybody from just shooting the warpcore so these weakpoints tend to not really matter.
will radle kind of like the nebulous b frigate in starwars. Though maybe the reason is from fear the engines will explode and trying to keep them away from the crew compartment. Kings of like how early jetliners had engines in the wings now the engines hang underneath the wings
Given how often the engines seem to come within milliseconds of killing everyone I'd think isolating them made perfect sense.
Something something, radiation from the warp coils, something, something, LOS between the nacelles, something, something, backstory bs to justify looks
I love all Star Trek ships including this one, how could any true fan not???
The passive aggressive editing of this video is perfect
This ship kind of looks like a cross between the Startgate: Daedalus and Star Trek Voyager
You have a great channel. I am wondering if you will be reviewing the Buck Roger's fighter from the late 70's series? Ming the Merciless's Imperial cruiser from Flash Gordon 1980? Nell, Hammerhead, or any of the other ships from Battle Beyond the Stars? The shuttle/ship from Planet of the Apes which dumps Heston into such an unfortunate future? The Eagle from Space 1999? Starship C-57D from Forbidden Planet?
WAR ROCKET AJAX
The mark IX Hawk as well as the various versions of the Eagle. I agree the Eagle would be a great video, it's got a lot of versatility thanks to its modular nature. I'm sure it inspired the Roundabout of Star Trek, and it was inspiration for a lot of sci ships. And since it had so much screen time there is a lot of detail on it.
The other franchise to look at is Blake's 7, the forerunner to today's gritty dystopian sci fi. The Liberator is an uber ship, with beautiful lines as well, plus Scorpio and the Federation pursuit ships could get a treatment as well.
Plus the space battleship Yamamoto.
I love the design of that ship too you are not alone I think It looks great
My ONE and ONLY issue with the Yeager class is the name. A Yeager class implies a fast ship more specifically a ship that breaks some sort of speed record. It's namesake did after all break the air sound barrier. From an esthetic and functional perspective, I LOVE THIS SHIP! I just think Liberty class would be a more apropro name as the urgent necessity resulting in its rushed production brings to mind the liberty ships of WWII. They were rushed into service in order to replenish a fleet that had suffered heavy losses. What could the purpose of the Yeager class be if not exactly that? This ship would be a great way of introducing military history buffs to the Star Trek franchise. Barring that it should have been the JAGER class not the "Yeager" class.
"Yeager" class, name after the pilot Chuck Yeager.
@@nicholaspowell7029 ok. My bad. I'll edit my comment accordingly, but it's still hardly fitting. Chuck Yeager is known for breaking the air sound barrier. Maybe if this ship was the fastest model of its generation, that name might make sense. As it stands, the second part of my comment is still true because this ship is basically the star trek equivalent of a liberty ship.
Chuck Yeager was renowned for numerous other things in his life besides breaking the sound barrier.
@@Ozraptor4 True, but if you ask basically ANYONE, that's the first and often the only thing that comes to mind. Liberty class makes more sense from a thematic perspective.
dunno how for rest but first thing that comes to my mind when I hear that word are giant robots from pacific rim.....................
The title is wrong! I Love Everything Star Trek And That Includes This Ship!
OK, you've sold me on this. More ideas (I'm not sure how much the aft section got scaled up by, so I'll just call that number n here):
- The aft portion is adapted by having hastily-installed catwalks etc. added to the giant-sized rooms.
- The inertial dampeners are completely and intractably out of whack, to the point of somehow working exactly opposite to how normal Star Trek inertial dampeners are supposed to work - instead of compensating for engine acceleration and failing when confronted with external forces (hence why Kirk & co. don't seem to notice sublight travel, but get thrown around when they run into a nebula), they brush off any external force short of total structural disintegration but barely account for thrust g-forces. Most crews have decided they prefer it this way, partially because most of them are adrenaline junkies to begin with.
- The aforementioned external force dampening actually makes the ship significantly more survivable, by keeping damage localized and greatly reducing chain-reaction effects (such as the Explosive Instrumentation common on many vessels). Efforts to expand this unexpected benefit to the rest of the fleet have been stymied by the fact that nobody knows how it happened in the first place, and the Vulcan Science Academy is refusing to send them any more analysts after the last one drank himself into a coma after seeing the saucer-body connection.
- The massively oversized warp core & engineering systems (it was supposed to be normal-sized, but so were the rooms in the aft section) gives it a frankly irresponsible amount of power for its size.
- Between the increased power and durability, several captains have found ramming to be a surprisingly effective tactic.
- Speaking of battle tactics: the aft weapons are *huge*.
- Some guys in black suits claiming to be from the "Spatial Integrity Commission" showed up on completion and stole all the replicators from the aft section, citing something about the "giant atom catastrophe." If you find any parts they missed, maybe don't turn them on.
- (Put them in a box, address it to "Engineer Jackson," and leave it in the mail room overnight. It will be gone in the morning. Don't worry about it.)
- If not properly calibrated, the oversized warp drive tends to send its ship overshooting the target destination. Aside from the numerous obvious problems, some captains have learned to exploit this by launching themselves behind enemy positions.
- If you've heard anything about captains using the above glitch to "accidentally" warp to resort planets, requiring several days to re-calibrate the systems before returning, those are filthy, filthy lies.
- While the Yeager-class does have twice as many computer system anomalies as any two other starship classes, rumors that they are actually rogue AI cobbled out of aft-section replicator parts are of course completely baseless.
- Don't use the aft-section transporters, either. Giant soldiers sound like a nice idea, but getting them back to normal size has proven an inexact science to say the least.
- They work great for super-sized photon torpedoes, though.
- The climate-control systems are as out of whack as everything else, leading to randomly scattered (and occasionally mobile) regions of abnormally high or low temperatures. A common effect of this has been high temperatures in the bridge region, forcing many crews to operate out of standard uniform.
- (Get in contact with one of the longer-serving units, ask for "Engineer McKay," and tell him you need help with a "Casual Friday Anomaly." Thank me later.)
Nothing wrong with loving something everyone else hates. (*coughs* I love The Phantom Menace *coughs*)
Agreed.
