Always liked the design of the Nova.
Yeah, it's much better looking than the rather hideous Oberth, IMO.
denniselliott27 And you didn’t have to use a transporter to get from engineering to the bridge!
It is a very good looking and easily recognizable design. For just aesthetic value it's one of my favorite Starfleet vessels.
A micro Sovereign class
That Rhode-Island upgrade is pretty nice too imo. That big open hole in the front end of the Nova is kinda unsettling ...looks like the radiator fell off or something but they’re still trying to drive it all ghetto😂
"Successor to the Oberth-class"
The Oberth is pretty much a warp capable coffin...
See it like this, this is an upgrade as it might just be a Warp-Capable Urn! XD
The Miranda and Oberth were all part of task force cannon fodder whose reputation of unexplainablely high casualty rates made them infamous.
@@HeadlessChickenTO Task Force Canon Fodder, on Operation "Get rid of these ships"
@@TonksMoriarty
The original plan for battle of Wolf359 was to have a line of Task Force Cannon Fodder ships aggressively attack the Cube creating a target saturated engagement zone forcing kinetic damage from all the debris to pummel the Cube's outer hull.
USS. RedShirt.....
Not to mention that as the successor to the Oberth, was not built using Explodium hull plating.
They still built the science consols out of explodium.
Hoehner Tim explodium and rocks
@@LickMyRainbow77 I've always wondered why they use rocks and such for Star Trek explosions.
Corvus Probably to make explosions look more dramatic and showed up better on 1980s quality TVs. They’re also probably plastic or styrofoam so no actors actually gets seriously injured by them
@@LickMyRainbow77 Well I figured they weren't actual rocks for that exact reason, but a TV explosion can still be believable and still make sense (as in no unnecessary rocks).
I feel for the crew of the Equinox, do you choose to die by your ideals or live at any cost? Could we really say in such a situation we'd be any better? After all, "It's easy to cling to your principles when youre standing on a vessle with its bulkheads intact..."
@@TheBigExclusive It's Janeway..she'll sneer at stuff other people have done in one scene then in the next do something just as bad or worse and be considered totally justified...
@@MrGoesBoom all hail the script gods
@@WesAG23 all hail
@@TheBigExclusive Where was that revealed?
@Stripey Arse Yeah, I actually liked Enterprise, but both the show and it's characters had some major flaws. And I don't mean in an interesting character building way. To be honest TOS seems to have been the only series that acknowledged the 'Prime Directive' while at the same time showing that it wasn't, nor shouldn't be, an absolute shackle on the actions of the members of Starfleet. TNG and all the shows after just threw that out the window and poo pooed it, which made it weirder when their characters did the same thing but still acted smug and morally superior.
The Equinox and by default the nova-class itself will always have place in my heart, the secondary deflector is perfect and her shape is just beautiful
I love it and the Rhode Island variant. Though I cannot for the life of me choose which I like better.
@@Vagus32000 The Nova looks like it has fangs, and is just so beautifully sleek. And the waverider is perfect as a small craft. Its size is also an appeal, it's much easier to understand it all and empathize eith damage and crew loss when compared to the bigger ships with thousands of crewmembers.
But the rhode island is like an echo of the Sovereign, and I just love how hardy it looks. It looks like the kind of ship that could slip between two borg cubes and get out completely unscathed besides some scratches on the hull.
A like in memory of Captain(!) Harry Kim of USS Rhode Island, whose only promotion got wiped out of time by Janeway...
poor stupid Harry
and he's not even harry prime
Pretty sure even the Q admit that Harry Kim was born to be a butt monkey. It's his lot in life, if he'd rolled any lower he'd have been a red shirt
Well, at least he gets to be Rhode Island's Captain in Star Trek Online.
Kim was in command of a Rhode Island class science ship, not a Nova.
The Nova class is my favorite Starfleet design. The compact hull with it's sleek design is breathtaking.
For such a small ship, it has a pretty good armament. 11 phaser arrays and 2 torpedo launchers
Well even an bass ackwards organization like Starfleet can read between the lines and realize 'Hey, the Oberth is a great short range platform for scouting and science but it blows up if you glance at it too hard....let's slap some real weapons and shields on the new ship so we don't have to replace the ship or crew as often as we flush....'
2 torpedoe launches seems to be the standard for all cruiser sized ships...even light cruisers.
@@HeadlessChickenTO
One forward, one aft. All you really need.
Akira Class: "Hold my beer."
@@drksideofthewal
Then you've got ships like the Galaxy that can rapid fire. Or the Sovereign that has 2 seperate forward launchers for 2 different torpedo loadouts. And I think the New Orleans had 3 external torpedo pods.
@@HeadlessChickenTO don't forget the internal torpedo tube pointed right up the arse of the Galaxy Class saucer section at all times. That has to be one of the most exploitable weaknesses ever engineered by Starfleet's Plot Advancement Division. I'm actually kinda sad they never took advantage of it in the series.
Minor correction: the Nova has three torpedo launchers, 2 fore (easily seen on about every render we know) and 1 aft (kinda hidden above the shuttlebay). Ramsom uses the aft launcher during the pursuit with Voyager to fire a torpedo at Janeway's ship, who tells Tuvok to "return the favor" - the following attack literally knocks the Equinox out of warp.
I always thought it looked like a tiny, truncated version of a Sovereign-Class ship.
Borg Initiative. Hence the armament. I use it as a puddle jumper scout in my ST:AW Fleet or pair it in tandem with my Akira Class, a Defiant Class, and a Saber Class
Yeah, I always think "Baby Sovereign-Class!" when I see a Nova-Class...
Sovereign nacelles, Intrepid-like design elsewhere
The Rhode Island variant looks like a baby Sovereign indeed.
@@Th0ughtf0rce Intrepid and Sovereign class had a baby
One of the best looking ships in the entire continuum, right next to the enterprise B. I would like one made from neutronium.
A suitable replacement for the Oberth indeed. And about bloody time too. The Oberth was even more outdated than the Miranda class. At least the Miranda could survive long enough to shoot back and not explode at the first hit of combat.
It turns out that making Oberth ships out of explodium was a serious design flaw. At least they made pains to fix the problem a century later.
And Mirandas packed a good deal of firepower which is useful since the only time you'd really press them into service is last ditch defense.
@@DIEGhostfish Mirandas also by the time of Dominion War had a lot of the ship automated. There were lots of Mirandas about and refitting them into basically escorts in battle was what they were good for. why waste a galaxy class when a Miranda would do the job of being a damage sponge.
@@toomanyaccounts Yeah, leaving a good portion empty and depressurized sure helps. And depending on the beta canon source those side phasers were substantially overpowered by inter-series standards and still probably stood up decently in TNG/DS9 era stuff.
@@DIEGhostfish plenty of real world examples of obsolete equipment etc being deployed because of the sheer need of the war. lots of rifles used in ww2 were bolt action rifles from ww1 or earlier (even brand new due to lower production costs) because they had tons of them and the ammo for them. the only army that had semi automatic handguns for its troops was the German army in ww2. grunts got revolvers in the US, Brit and Russian army.
Quite Possibly my favorite Trek ship ever. The Rhode Island seems to be more than just an updated Nova, we see her go up against two Negh'Vars, which is an impressive feat for any ship
The Rhode Island seems like they outfitted the Nova with the Defiant's weapon compliment.
Nova Class was a great design for a small vessel.
That arc in Voyager was one if the better ones
I was fiddling around with Star Trek: Adventures and, fun fact, you can turn a nova into a pocket carrier real easily. Like, it can carry 8 federation fighters. Give those suckers enhanced weapons, it punches harder than a Galaxy class in aggregate.
Oooh. Legit question. I've been strongly thinking about buying star trek adventures for some time now so I keep asking anyone who has it what their opinion is. Is it any good? How much have you played? I've got a bunch of DND players who I could rope into playing but only about half of them know anything about Trek so is it approachable for none fans? Would love your opinion.
@@paulscott2037 I've read but not played it, so here's what I've got so far.
The base mechanic is 2d20, rolled against a Stat+Skill combo. The stats and skills are laser focused on being Starfleet officers - in that the skills are Conn, Security, Science, Medical and Command (literally, the divisions of Starfleet.) So, you might roll Control+Tactical to fire a phaser pistol, or Daring+Command to give a stirring speech.
If you have a focus that applies and you roll under your skill, you get 2 successes. Otherwise, you get one. So, I have Control of 9, Security 4, and the focus on Phasers. I fire my phaser pistol at a klingon and get 16 and a 9 on my d20. That means I get 1 successes. If I had gotten a 4 instead of a 9, that'd have been 2 successes.
One thing I do like is that your base damage is based off your Security skill. So, someone with Sec 4 rolls 4 more dice with phasers and fisticuffs. That was a nice touch.
The other major mechanic is the idea of Momentum and Threat. You gain Momentum by rolling well or by giving the GM Threat. Momentum can be spent to add bonus dice or give yourself bonus actions. The GM can use threat to spawn new enemies (for example, having some extra Romulans beam into a fight.)
GMs can also gain threat if the PCs "escalate" things - I.E, bringing out photon torpedoes, equipping phaser rifles, that kind of thing.
In terms of fluff, the game is CLEARLY written by insanely nerdy weirdoes and I love it! They made everything canon. *Everything.* They stitched together Enterprise and made it actually sound like a good TV show! They worked in the *animated series* in there! They have callbacks to the Donut of Time and let you poke around inside of TOS era episodes in the TNG era (like, Starfleet is apparently STILL studying the Doomsday Device from TOS!) That's all quite cool!
Now, on to the kinda shitty part of the game: The leveling system.
I sure hope that you like being...basically unchanged for pretty much the entire game. Advancement is VERY incremental. Like, if you've played Rifts, it's basically on par with that. Over many sessions, you may get +1 to a stat or +1 to a skill, maybe a neat feat-like ability.
Also, I sure hope you like ONLY being Starfleet characters! Because the game is basically completely unequipped to run almost anything else. You're either the pajama hero brigade or having to kitbash a lot of content together.
So, overall, it's...ehhh?
Like, get it for the fluff and maybe for the fun of building spaceships. And it does do that ONE SPECIFIC THING of being a Starfleet crew exploring things really well. But if you want a more generic Star Trek exploration universe thing, I'd go for something more broad like Savage Worlds.
@@davidcolby167 thank you! Very helpful. Still sounds good enough to give a go. The slow levelling I don't mind so much cos the potential story building is more important to me and Trek provides endless possibilities in that regard.
@@paulscott2037 You're welcome! And to be fair, I just like watching numbers go up.
Pocket carriers are the most overpowered thing in any game, and I love them for it. Just roll up with 10 little ships capable of evading anything, and watch them just unleash a SWARM of hornet-like fighters to tear apart any enemy.
3:18, not to nitpick, it was actually the aliens that the Equinox was murdering that destroyed the ship by going after the warp core.
also the equinox was not harvesting the alien for years. it was just a few months
That isn’t a nitpick, that’s pointing out genuine misinformation.
I'd love to see a Nova class with the Defiant class weponry, shields and armour, think that would be a pretty good attack ship
Yes please
(Ahem) you have... USS Rhode Island.
Yeah, but its an alternate timeline ship.
@@MontyPython12 Actually, it's a prime timeline ship. Admiral Janeway altered the timeline to get Voyager back before Seven (or any other crew members) died.
Therefore its still an alternate timeline ship, for exactly the reason you said in your comment, Admiral Janeway altered the timeline.
Equinox was an excellent Voyager 2-part episode.
Always enjoy these ship episodes. Hope you can get around to reviewing the Eagle from Space 1999 or the X-Bomber from Starfleet
11 type 10 phasers, holy crap, this thing would gut most Klingon birds of prey in one pass...
Purely out of scientific curiosity, though.
You can't do research if your test subject still moving and trying to kill you.
I doubt not they are very powerful. I believe they are just supposed to cover all angles
To do that, all phasers would have to be aimed at the same spot.
@@johngregory4801 holy crap, I couldn't stop laughing at this!
This ship has to be one of my favorite looking. It's like a mini Sovereign, too bad it's not a badass warship like other ships of that era.
I checked your channel just 2 days ago to see if you'd covered this ship. So that was a nice surprise when it popped up.
I can see this hull serving as a excellent replacement for the Miranda as a frigate.
well most of the Mirandas got destroyed during the Dominion War
Nova class appeals to me on so many levels. Compact, capable, fast.
The Rhode Island is one of my favorite designs. Such a great little ship, especially in STO.
That was an episode I had not seen. As I understand it in universe Star Fleet crews are usually it held up on charges for following the commands (even unethical ones) of the commander. I will have to look that one up.
if they know what they are doing is illegal then they are not excused unless there are factors that would negate their sentencing.
I could never live by Starfleet's principles. Every expedition I commanded would be like the Futurama Poppler episode.
Frank -S- 😂😂😂😂that show was frikkin gold!!!!!!!
I absolutely love this design. It blends my favourite design elements of the Intrepid and Sovereign class into this wonderful little package. There's also something about it being a small ship. I love having fleets full of star ships that serve different roles and vary according to those needs, even if said needs never get fleshed out.
I don't believe it was built to replace the Oberth. For one, it's not made out of explodium like the Oberth.
Their explodium stockpiles must have been dangerously low after a century of constant depletion making new Oberths.
Does Star Fleet build ships anywhere other than Utopia Planitia?
There are fleet yards over almost every majour federation Planet like Andoria or Vulcan
In Alpha canon only Utopia Planitia is building ships.
But in beta canon they had more like Axanar were the Constitution class was build.
@@michaeld.uchiha9084 Which means not canon...since Axanar and all their stuff was way more awesome and lore compliant than the garbage CBS wanted to put out, and thus was shitcanned through the power of the lawsuit >:-|
In DS9 there was a episode where i think Dukat or Weyun brag about Dominon advantage where they say that Federation shipyards are still recovering from destruction. The Utopia Planetia shipyard is the largest one and most famous because that is the skunk works of the federation, every new class off ships within the fed is designed built and tested at Utopia. After that other shipyards take over in mass production of ships.
Yeah, they build 'em all over the place. Most ships are *designed* at U.P. though.
A beautiful little ship. I love the design.
The story of the Equinox was what Voyager coulda woulda shoulda been. In the same way DS9 explored what happens to Federation values at the edges of Federation influence, Voyager could have explored the conflict between human survival and human principles.
Instead they tried making TNG 2.
I think it would have been better if it had firmer continuity, consequences from prior episodes still visible, but also a steady progress toward longer-term survival. Like letting us see them develop methods for repairing the ship even en route, resupplying, etc. Upgrade the ship as they go, become tougher and tougher over time whenever they're not weakened by combat damage, and even that can always be temporary as they get chances to repair.
That way we can have the best of both worlds: Survival in a hostile environment, but also optimism and a generally more lighthearted tone (with occasional moments of grimness as things go wrong for a while).
@@theuncalledfor Yes! The idea that they returned to the Alpha Quadrant in largely the same condition they left, was silly. Compare that to something like BSG where the Galactica was permanently damaged by a desperate manoeuvre mid-series and was literally falling apart at the seams by the final episodes.
@@GrandSupremeDaddyo
That's not exactly what I want, either. I mean yes, lasting consequences are good, but it's too limiting to have the ship suffer increasing amounts of metal fatigue until it just can't go on anymore. That only works when you're steering towards a definitive end of the series in which the ship is intended to be destroyed (or retired in a state unfit for service). If however they have a technology that can fix metal fatigue (either by saying the federation has that tech to begin with, or by showing them acquire or invent it), then that problem is solved - yet they can still have damage from prior episodes because there wasn't an opportunity to repair yet.
There's a lot you can do to control the state of the ship. If you need any specific damage, or a fully repaired ship, just take some time in an earlier episode to have the ship take damage or get repaired.
*Worf voice* "Little?!"
Yes, one of my absolute favorite-class ship. Thanks a lot!
I love this little ship...
Always one of my favorite Star Fleet vessel designs
One of my favorite ships. Thanks for doing this one.
3:17 - actually Janeway didn't destroy the Equinox, the nucleogenic aliens did, and Ransom beamed his crew aboard Voyager and sacrificed himself.
Yes just a shame ship could not have been either repaired or stripped down for parts imagine a voyager with twice as thick hull plus a extra deck worked in .and 2 warp cores worked 1 powering ships systems such as shields alone voyager could then take on vessels for twice as long If needed.
My favorite Star Trek ship! The Eaglemoss model is on my desk in a place of of pride.
Single best looking ship in Star Trek, especially with the refit.
You haven't seen the vesta class then have you?
@@cadkls Thank you for acknowledging the vesta. Haven't heard anything about it in a while. I do think the nova is cooler personally. Something about the refit nova/Rhode Island classes secondary deflector bothers me.
I like how you interweave actual production lore into in-universe lore that is solidly believable. Good-o!
GODDAMN your videos are efficient, informative and precise. Each ending sentence always sends a chill up my spine
When Janeway and Ransom were talking about they're experiences in the Delta Quadrant I'm surprised Janeway never asked Ransom if they had ever encountered the Kazon or the Vidians.
As I recall, one of the changes instituted in the Rhode Island class refit was the addition of impulse engines. (Due to an oversight, the original 3D model for the Equinox didn't have them.)
You should do the Luna-Class. My favorite fan made ST ship
It’s a fan made design. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t canon though
The Nova-Class was always a looker in my eyes and rightly so.
What a good looking little shop the Nova class is.
This is a fantastic designed ship. Always love this one!!
It's funny that speaking of the Rhode Island Class which was a refitted design of the Nova Class was the first ship of that class was under the command of Captain Harry Kim and looking at the class I wonder if it had the same layout as the Nova Class or did it have different systems like all the variants of the Miranda Class.
Love the quote at the start of this.
When you said 165 meters my mind nearly imploded because I realized just how large the elite dangerous ships are.Seriously the Imperial Cutter ,Federal corvette,and Beluga liner are all longer than this ship.
And the anaconda is just barely smaller
🖖😎👍This is another of one of my all time favorite starship's, Very well done and very informative indeed guys 👌...
Got the Ealgemoss model of the Equinox. 😃
Love the design. It just looks good, like an E-type Jag in space.
Thanks for the look back at a enjoyable but troublesome out come for a crew of the Federation.
To me the Nova class would have been perfect for Starfleet ground troops. A small agile ship capable of atmospheric assault and landing to deploy a platoon or company of marines and all their equipment under its protective shields when transporters and shuttle operation was impossible.
Its odd. This class, to my knowledge, first appeared in the TNG Technical Manual, where it was proposed as the most popular option for the Next Generation successor to the Galaxy.
It also explodes far less often than the Oberth-class, a perk when flying into unknown space.
Actually the Equinox was not destroyed by Voyager it was destroyed by the aliens after Ransom had a change of heart as he was willing to surrender but his first officer staged a mutiny and the survivors were beamed over to Voyager and Ransom dropped the shields around the sensitive areas of the ship including the warp core leaving it exposed for the aliens to attack which they did and after killing the others except for Ransom the Equinox was on the verge of exploding and instead of beaming off Ransom sacrificed himself after asking Janeway to promise him she would get both crews home safely and she gave him her word she would and the crew of Voyager watched as the Equinox drifted away and exploded from an apparent warp core breach destroying the Equinox and killing Ransom sadly ending the life and career of a good officer who made a lot of mistakes for the sake of his ship and crew but at least he redeemed himself in the end.
I am a bit confused that he never mentioned that.
@@Wolf_DominicIf you watch the 2 part episode called 'Equinox' from the show's last episode of season 5 and the first episode of season 6 it was at the end of episode 2 right before the Equinox explodes Ransom asks Janeway to promise him that she would get both crews home and as stated she did make that promise.
@@nicholasmorsovillo2752 Oh, I was talking about the guy narrating this video, not the captain.
One of my favorite designs - I'd love to see a combat refit of it!
The Oberth Class was a Starship equivalent of a Red Shirt.
Does the federation only have 1 shipyard? Seems everything is built at Utopia Plannitia, not very federal to centralise everything
The Writers are lazy and don't really talk to each other.
Utopia Planeitia is their major starship research and development as well as I think their largest production facility close to the core worlds. But I don't think it's their ONLY shipyards.
@@Predator42ID
Yeah, Beta Antares.
memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Federation_shipyards
Thanks community, good to know there's 1 ship not built at Mars
Second favorite TNG-era design of all time behind the Akira!
Thank you
I used to fly one on Bridge Commander back in the early 2000s. Simpler days lol.
MY FAVORITE SHIP FINALLY!!
The Nova class is one of my favorite Star Trek ships. :)
Love the nova class
I love this plucky little design. Makes you wonder if the defiant had gotten in the same situation.
I remember reading a Reddit/Quora response on if the Enderprise -D, Voyager, and Defiant all got pulled together, if it was possible to dock the Defiant on the Enterprise like that one episode where the space baby was sucking energy from the Enterprise.
A crew of 80.The Officer commanding(OC)is a Captain(O-6). A LieuTenant (O-3), as OC, would be more likely.The Executive Officer(XO)a LieuTenant, JG (O-2)and, maybe, a First LieuTenant in the rank of Ensign(O-1)is closer to reality. For those who intend to correct this, lieu and tenant are 2 words.The after series books of ST:TNG, there was a Luna Class ship commanded by Captain Riker. It had a crew of 1,000 (or more ) and was in the "Starlog" magazine.
First comment, yet it says 96 views and 19 likes. I already know that this will be good.
Love the Nova design 😁
Can you do the adamant frigate or arachne cruiser from battlestar galactica deadlock please?
Still a little favorite of mine.
My 2nd favorite ship. The defiant is my no.1 favorite. And the excelsior is no.3 favorite
This is my favorite ship
Star Trek Online's use of the ship is also good and reflective of the niche role for science/support roles in the early/low level characters players have.
please do a video on the Behemoth class battlecruiser from Starcraft
Love it
You're a _science vessel._ Scan the nucleogenic life forms, possibly while playing a song on your console, and synthesize the stuff that boosts your engine output. There, now you don't have to slaughter fellow sentient beings just to give your warp drive some nitro. Seriously, the Equinox was qualified above most Federation ships to science the hell out of their problem without committing genocide.
Just because they know what it is doesnt mean they can just magic more of it, they couldnt magic deuterium as fuel either
Omg yesyes yes!!! This!!!!! Plus it frikkin LANDS ON PLANETS. Did their sensors not have a “food” setting???😂 Scan planets for damn food and alien particles. I can’t believe that guy was a captain...his crew was just as loopy🤪
@@deniseherud The writers were idiots.
Starfleet had found a suitable replacement for the Oberth class.
Admiral - so how many Novas have we lost today?
Lieutenant - None sir.
Admiral - yesterday?
Lieutenant - 0
Admiral - Last week?
Lieutenant - zero sir!
Admiral - Over the past 6 months?!?!
Lieutenant - Zippo, zilch, goose egg, stop asking me this question every hour!
Admiral - Sorry, force of habit thanks to the Oberth.
Hands down my favourite Starship design.
Survey ships ought to be equipped for long range missions. They're scouts, not fighter craft attached to a carrier. Scouts are expected to master the terrain along with their senses and to be able to forage and fight on their own without assistance. You'd think that centuries of Space Travel and learning the hard way that space is basically "disease and death in dark and quiet" would have taught the Federation about that.
i love this ship design it looks so fucking cool
The most impressive thing about the Nova-class? It does not disintegrate when something looks at it funny.
Its a smart little ship, i can kind of see slight evolution in the design to the Sovereign class.
Very good video
Would love to see a vid on the Prometheus and Achilles starship classes
I was always interested in the "dual shield" setup of the Nova. The ship in Star Trek Online even has two slots for shield generators, if I recall correctly. I haven't played that game in quite a while, though, so I'm not sure how it performs. Is it basically just a backup if one fails? Or do they compliment each other somehow? Love the Nova-class! :D
Definitely one of my favorite Star Trek designs. I think one of the reasons I like it so much is because it replaced my least favorite design, the Oberth. Not a fan of the Rhode Island refit version though
Do the pathfinder class sometime!
Shame the equinox couldn't have been reined in, the voyager is ideal for supporting such a ships drawbacks while in turn acting as an effective scout and sidekick.
Damn striaght. A little armada for 'Commodore' Janeway. Lots of stories where it may have to pull back in battle, more command time for Chakotay and Tuvok, and even a sacrifice destruction in a final burst to the Alpha Quad. The Borg Queen may have appreciated the little Star Fleet collective.
Have you done a review on the Delta Flyer? That would be nice to see.
yo speeeezdock. do the "archer-class" sometimes.... is a rly cool ship-class imo...
I like the Nova design better than most Star fleet ships.
This video came out one day after I watched the Voyager episode its featured in. Wow.
I quite like the small Starfleet ships, from the basic Shuttlecraft to the Nova Class, even the Steamrunner Class. Maybe it's something to do with supporting the underdogs (not sports related as I don't follow any sports). Not to mention small ships from other races, and other franchises.
Now, do a break-down of the Oberth class Science Vessel.
Pretty cool ship
Yeah Starfleet most likely has shipyards all over the Federation like the Antares shipyards where the Excelsior Class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B was built the Luna Shipyards and the most famous San Francisco shipyards that gave birth to the Sovereign Class Starships and the legendary Constitution Class Starships like the legendary U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 and NCC-1701-A were launched from and even the Earth Station McKinley Facility that gave birth to the Ambassador Class Starships.
First comment! Keep up the good work, love the videos!
I always liked the Nova class. I wish they has used it for the Defiant. It makes me think of it as PT Boat of WW2 or that of a Sub.
Woohoo! For some reason I just LOVE this damn ship! I would love to captain a jazzed up version (hey! I'm the hero in my head, so I get a spiffy ship in my fantasies! :P )and take it were no one has gone before! ;)
