The only way these detached strcutres make the sligthest sense would be if they are all slices of a higher dimensional structure. If these ships are actually build in multiple dimensions and so the various parts are actually part of a seamless whole you just normally can't see.
Or they exist is some sort of phased space or in subspace itself. Can't see why they have them detached when they have programmable matter that can alter it's structure easy.
@@thanqualthehighseer As much as I remember they merge back together when they need to go in warp speed. Detachment is just a way for safety and security.
Star Trek used to have the best looking ships with practical and grounded type design. Even that it was Sci-Fi it still felt like it could exist in the real world. The "new" Star Trek has ruined the sleek and elegant designs of some of the best looking ships within the Sci-Fi scene. From the Iconic Enterprise Refit design, the Excelsior and the Sovereign Class ties together a design that still stands the test of time. The new ships just look like something I drew up when I was in middle school without any soul or thought put into it.
Come on dude, 700 years between tng and discovery thsts a long time and for the time between these two eras the fact they kept it as close as they did I think is a tribute to original designs
@@Peaceforall20111 Kurtzman didnt even GET or evemn understood the emaning of Star Trek and designv of Star Trek, he didnt even get anyonme who had ANY knowledge in Star trek to make Discovery. He hired a whole buncha people who knew jack SHIT about Star Trek when Discovery was first aired.
Because in the 30th+ century we’re still using 23rd-24th century design language with a fleet that spreads across hundreds of species? It would Make zero sense that it wouldn’t evolve over time.
I agree that the design doesn’t make a lot of sense, sure it might look futuristic, but it’s not very practical, plus it looks more alien than star fleet, I’m assuming that it is using some kind of tractor beam technology, but what happens if the ship looses power in that area, how is it then going to be functional, there is a reason why the engines are attached to the main ship, and not just floating separately from it.
As a sci-fi writer, there's a race that uses detatched 'drive sections'. The drive sections are more like slightly more permanent tugboats, turning a modular habitation module into a spaceship-having entirely engineering sections/systems/FTL/sheilds/etc, except for one Primary Control Chamber. The main control comes from the hab module it's using. They also have monohull designs-which are used for High-Performance use. This is less material efficient and less versatile... however, it is higher efficiency for things such as, i dunno, *military use* and things of that nature.
What happens to the detached parts when the power goes out. And the power goes out often in the trek universe. The power that runs the fields holding the detached parts in place goes out, what then?
A clever writer/world-builder/science advisor would do this: When the power goes out and all the back-ups fail too, not everything immediately ceases to work. Why not? Well, because the systems are still all "charged up". They are able to adequately function for several more hours, if not even days in some instances, even after the main power source has been completely cut off. Just imagine it working like your phone, in a way. You re-charge it and then unplug it (meaning that you're "cutting off" its power source), but the device nonetheless keeps on working for an entire day.... or somewhat less.... or somewhat longer . . . . At least this is how it should work. The thing is that many writers would likely hate this, like they've, for example, despised the shows' Replicators and Transporters for decades, because it is prone to kill a LOT of means for potential dramatic situations.
Also the power going out was usually due to people messing about with experimental tech or unknown space. on whatever was called enterprise at the time. Maybe they found a captain who forced engineering to stick to the manual and didn't take a lone ship into strange places
"Captain, that last hit took out the power on decks six through 9!" "The nacelles?" "They're about 6000km away by now..." "Okay guess we're done, signal our surrender."
The only sensible reason for the floating parts is for better modularity. Meaning, you could swap out parts of a vessel with ease, or you could separate a vessel depending upon the mission parameters. Personally, I would have these vessels still be one, connected ship just for aesthetics reason. Regardless of my criticism, there are a few gems. My personal favorite is the USS Credence, USS Annan, USS Thant and USS Armstrong. Interesting designs, but, again, I wish that the parts of some of these ships were connected to their respective hulls.
These designs are catching up with modern concepts in science fiction whereas Star Trek has been adherent to 60s and 70s design for decades. I’m a fan. The tribute to classic Trek design is there. The 32nd century technology is imagined here as allowing designers to bring concept art into the physical world. The modules held in place by fields and the primary shapes are reminiscent of Iain M Banks Culture universe.
The Alcubierre-class starship has no warp nacelles what-so-ever. Instead it uses a temporal control device that funnels and controls the flow of chronons. As speed is distance over time, by altering the flow of chronons (time particles), the time necessary to travel a particular distance can be modified. Thus, traveling a certain distance would take exactly as much time as you desire. 10 lightyears would take only as long as you want it to take versus some small fraction of a year. This is up to and including 0 time at all. The Alcubierre-class can also be configured in any number of ways as it no longer requires accounting for inertia. The Alcubierre, the ship for which the class is named, is shaped like cigar. It is cylindrical along its central axis and rounded at both ends. It does not have obvious torpedo tubes or phaser banks. The Alcubierre has transphasic transporters which operate slightly out of phase with reality. This allows them to bypass shields of nearly any configuration. In order to maximize efficiency, the Alcubierre has a decentralized command deck with command areas near each major system and function. This design was borrowed from the Borg and has proven important to the Alcubierre's record of never being damaged in battle beyond reason. Primary weapons on the Alcubierre consist of traditional phasers banks routed through the transphasic transporters. This puts the weapons fire directly on the target area. Secondary weapons are transphasic photon torpedos and transphasic quantum torpedos. Utilizing the transphasic transporters, the phasers beams and torpedos are directly placed on and in, respectively, the target of attack. This allows weapons fire to completely circumvent nearly any shielding technology. Even adaptability such as the Borg have is rendered nearly useless. Boarding parties can also be placed directly on board a target ship or station. Transphasic shielding also negates the need for a deflector array which opens up more space inside the ship for other functions. AS the USS Alcubierre can manipulate time particles, it has a sort of timeless quality to it. Many observers have stated that upon seeing the Alcubierre, they find themselves calmed and comforted by its form. No one has yet to figure out what specifically it is about the Alcubierre that makes it so satisfying.
StarTrek was a great science fiction story. These ships come from a perversion of Startrek that deliberately ignores all the rules, tropes, intent and spirit of its creators (as almost all modern re-imaginings do).
Actually, in the ST universe, dilithium was inert to antimatter when its lattice structure was saturated with the EM field in the M/AM reaction chamber. A tech that would make it reactive in spite of the field would destroy the reactor.
I don't get all the hate against these designs. I actually like the super futuristic and out of this world designs on these. Its like people nowadays don't like change and want to only have the things they liked when they were young or something.
There was also a reason why the Warp Nacelles were so exposed in the past, as they emitted Radiation that could not be easily compensated, which is why they were placed on pylons far away from the hull, which, however, brought with it a major Problem, they represented a tempting Target for any Attacker, as simply destroying or even JUST damaging the Warp Nacelles could render a ship incapable of Warp! A Problem that seemed to be solved with the release of the Defiant-Class, so instead of shoving this important piece of Equipment in the Enemy's Face, Warp Nacelles should actually have disappeared completely into the Hull!
Sorry but I don't understand the "iconic" part. These were just a random designs that showed up in discovery (a very bad treck compared to the old ones) and have to bacground of history in start trek lore, they don't look good either.
Ultra future Federation starship design might not even need a warp nacelles. Nobody ever thought of that? It's like giving modern Battlecruisers triple cannon turrets.
@joeldelica8706 Warp nacelles has been considered as mini types due to advancing Warp core and secondary transmitter, moreover, battlecruisers consoles requires connon, phaser, laser beam, and torpedo, as main weaponary devices to heavy vessel carrier networks.
@@linz8291 Ah, i see. Still, at some point in the future. The warp nacelles will be abandoned for a more advance system. And the saucer hull, engineering hull and warp nacelles will either change or completely disappear. Michael Okuda talked briefly about that in the old USS Enterprise D Technical Manual.
I always imagined future Star Trek Ships like the USS Relativity which didn't have visible nacelles anymore and the design was almost organic. I admit I'm sad we didn't see something in that direction or the 31st Century Ships from Star Trek Online
A few thoughts... 1)I just can't keep wondering where the Angelou Class ship has its warp nacelles. 2) I can imagine the 32nd Century Enterprise belonging to the Constitution/ Kirk Class. 3) The U.S.S Credence has six nacelles? Does that mean it has 3 warp cores? 4) The U.S.S Nog and U.S.S Jubayr are the most alien-looking Federation ships. 5) Most of them are gigantic in size dwarfing the Galaxy Class quite easily. 6) Never thought the Starfleet Headquarters was actually a starship able to convert to a space station. Cool! Plus, you forgot the U.S.S. Andares.
1. Probably underneath it like the Mayflower or Miranda so we cant see them from that camera angle 2. Yes 3. The Constellation had four nacelles and one warp core, so why would that be needed 4. YES! I love that federation ships are actually being designed by people who aren't humans 5. Yup 6. That reveal was one of the coolest scenes of the show.
These designs do not excite me. The detached warp nacelles didn't make sense during an attack they can be independently targeted. Then there's one ship with no neck not attached to the body at all. Not feeling the designs at all. 😕
They could be independently targeted even if they were attached. Targeting subsections of a ship has been a thing since TNG. I think the lack of VERY THIN neck and pylons means there's less vulnerable things for the enemy to shoot.
im with you on that, you can tell these are federation ships, but evolved. it makes sense that they look a bit alien to us because its over a thousand years into the future. For example, to the vikings a thousand years ago, our ships now might look really alien to them, why can't it be the same for us, but in the future.
Why does the uss credence have 6 nacelles? Surely after u add to many it becomes redundant bcus even the voyager has 2 nacelles and goes like 9.99 warp no?
Why the detached nacelles? They wouldn't function at all. The entire quantum entanglement bs that people try to use to claim pushing 1 atom entangled with another atom would push both is so incredibly false that its incredible ANYONE would believe it. That theory states that quantum entanglement makes both atoms share a state, a state is not motion. So moving one wouldn't have ANY effect on another. It would mean that if you heat 1 of them up the other would be heated as that is a change in state, or if you damage 1, the other would recieve the same damage, or you could transfer power that way as electrifying one would electrify the other, but drawing power from either would cause the power to drop in both. The only way detached warp nacelles would POSSIBLY work would be tractor beam tech, but that would also create a massive structural problem with sheering forces and navigation as the nacelles would rotate at a different speed than the rest of the ship. Just please stop with this junk fraudulent science crap...
Matt Jeffries' core concept for the Enterprise was something that you couldn't build out of modern materials. The nacelles are intentionally spindly for that reason. He probably would have done exactly this had he been able to.
From what I recall from the one time I watched it - they crystals that’s used for Slipstream drive are extremely rare , 🤷🏼♂️ ( discovery writers ) even though in the 24th/25th century ~2380-2415 ( including Star Trek online all ships have a slipstream burst drive for 30 minutes (150 LY) with a cooldown of 12 hours ) up to maximum 2 hours (600 lightyears ) cooldown of 2-3 days .
@@lasarith2 Star Trek Online (STO) is a mere 'Beta Canon', which basically means "not a canon". A definition of Star Trek IP's Beta Canon is, "all officially licensed NON-canonical works". So at the end of the day, STO does not matter at all. Otherwise, the thing about the "crystals" being "rare" does not come from "discovery writers", as you've stated above. In-universe, Slipstream Drive is being regulated mostly (but not exclusively) by Benamite crystals which are the best known means for this kind of a job, are naturally occurring, but unfortunately very rare. Even rarer than Dilithium. On top of that, Benamite is extremely difficult to synthesize (Dilithium cannot be synthesized nor replicated at all); in the late 24th century, the UFP's available technology needed north of one year to synthesize one crystal thereof. All of this was established on ST: VOY in the late 1990s where the given Drive was first introduced. This only shows that DIS writers do know and do follow ST's Alpha Canon and continuity. Well, at least sometimes.
@@subraxas quote from Trekyards when asked , - Booker states that the ( crystals) are extremely rare and he can’t get any - as to why he isn’t using them for slipstream drive , or any other starship for that matter Series 3 discovery, also they are using a form of slipstream in Prodigy with the Protowarp drive and the Voyager A is equipped with a basic form of it , - so we’re both right and wrong .
I like some and don't like others. I appreciate what ST: DSC was trying to do. There are characters I really liked such as: Suru, Lorka, Reno, Detmer, Dr. Culber, Georgiou, their version of Spock & Pike etc., etc. And for all of you who didn't like the show remember the "it doesn't feel like Star Trek" was also said about ST: TNG first three seasons before some people came around. I liked ST: DSC because it pushed ST further and no matter what some fans say, it gave us ST: SNW. And for those of you who were around, by the end of ST: ENT people were tired of Star Trek. I know the show had it's fans (I also liked it), it's ratings were way down and the studio could not save it. I'm happy to see any ST because like Leonard Nimoy once said "Open your mind! Be a Star Trek fan and open your mind and say. Where does ST want to take me now". Love it! Take care.

The enterprise J was a cool design holding try to federation fundamentals. these ship design is some one who put it in a AI generator and pooped it out. Detached parts of the ships makes no sense, they even said that some ships has programable matter, holographic and other crap that makes it sound "advance" but space is dangerous, plenty of anomalies that can disrupt the ship. Imagine walking in the corridor suddenly the programable matter/ holographic walls disappear or you just lost your nacelles xD And if you check the Kelvin time line, their ships are so mushy (basically made by apple) I dont wanna live on those type of ships. Btw in the discovery turbolift scene which is same size as a borg cube... imagine how big it is in those star ships xD
I never was the biggest fan of the Star Trek aesthetic to begin with, I don't much like the super sleek and curved aesthetics you get in Star Trek or Mass Effect and prefer the more rough and rugged style you'd see in Star Wars, Babylon 5, Halo, Homeworld... I already had a major issue with the JJ Abrams movies where they tuned the sleek and curvy style up a notch, I dislike the aesthetic of those movies... And this is just the movies turned up to 11 I hate it. I really hate it. XD Definitely not my idea for "cool looking spaceships"

I just do not understand the overboard architecture of these vessels.. In a vacuum aerodynamics is irrelevant and compactness is king.. Colony ships would want to maximize cargo volume so a large spherical hull with 4 warp nacelles and 2 warp reactors for redundancy would seem the most utilitarian shape.. Even a Borg cube seems like a more plausible design over these depictions..
The same applies to every other ship in star trek history except the borg sphere.

Or they exist is some sort of phased space or in subspace itself. Can't see why they have them detached when they have programmable matter that can alter it's structure easy.
@@thanqualthehighseer As much as I remember they merge back together when they need to go in warp speed. Detachment is just a way for safety and security.

SNW Enterprise is absolutely gorgeous and what it would look like if tech now was in 60's.
Star Trek used to have the best looking ships with practical and grounded type design. Even that it was Sci-Fi it still felt like it could exist in the real world. The "new" Star Trek has ruined the sleek and elegant designs of some of the best looking ships within the Sci-Fi scene. From the Iconic Enterprise Refit design, the Excelsior and the Sovereign Class ties together a design that still stands the test of time. The new ships just look like something I drew up when I was in middle school without any soul or thought put into it.
I agree. I also can't stand when they change well established designs like they did with the original Enterprise in Strange New Worlds.
Come on dude, 700 years between tng and discovery thsts a long time and for the time between these two eras the fact they kept it as close as they did I think is a tribute to original designs
yep. you pretty much nailed it. Kurtzman never understood trek. He never will.

The detached structures has to be the stupidest idea ever created in Star Trek. I cant hate it enough.
Why? Every futuristic ship use detached structures, why living in 80s
@@_martian101 Because it looks stupid and doesn't make sense
@@anothermancalleddave it looks futuristic, every scifi using it so deal with it
Because in the 30th+ century we’re still using 23rd-24th century design language with a fleet that spreads across hundreds of species? It would
Make zero sense that it wouldn’t evolve over time.
I agree that the design doesn’t make a lot of sense, sure it might look futuristic, but it’s not very practical, plus it looks more alien than star fleet, I’m assuming that it is using some kind of tractor beam technology, but what happens if the ship looses power in that area, how is it then going to be functional, there is a reason why the engines are attached to the main ship, and not just floating separately from it.
As a sci-fi writer, there's a race that uses detatched 'drive sections'. The drive sections are more like slightly more permanent tugboats, turning a modular habitation module into a spaceship-having entirely engineering sections/systems/FTL/sheilds/etc, except for one Primary Control Chamber. The main control comes from the hab module it's using.
They also have monohull designs-which are used for High-Performance use. This is less material efficient and less versatile... however, it is higher efficiency for things such as, i dunno, *military use* and things of that nature.
What happens to the detached parts when the power goes out.
And the power goes out often in the trek universe.
The power that runs the fields holding the detached parts in place goes out, what then?
A clever writer/world-builder/science advisor would do this:
When the power goes out and all the back-ups fail too, not everything immediately ceases to work.
Why not?
Well, because the systems are still all "charged up". They are able to adequately function for several more hours, if not even days in some instances, even after the main power source has been completely cut off.
Just imagine it working like your phone, in a way. You re-charge it and then unplug it (meaning that you're "cutting off" its power source), but the device nonetheless keeps on working for an entire day.... or somewhat less.... or somewhat longer . . . .
At least this is how it should work. The thing is that many writers would likely hate this, like they've, for example, despised the shows' Replicators and Transporters for decades, because it is prone to kill a LOT of means for potential dramatic situations.
Ya gotta get out and push.😅
Also the power going out was usually due to people messing about with experimental tech or unknown space. on whatever was called enterprise at the time. Maybe they found a captain who forced engineering to stick to the manual and didn't take a lone ship into strange places
"Captain, that last hit took out the power on decks six through 9!"
"The nacelles?"
"They're about 6000km away by now..."
"Okay guess we're done, signal our surrender."
Probably, they have a safe fail system that re-attaches the nacelles when the power reaches critical levels.
The only sensible reason for the floating parts is for better modularity. Meaning, you could swap out parts of a vessel with ease, or you could separate a vessel depending upon the mission parameters. Personally, I would have these vessels still be one, connected ship just for aesthetics reason.
Regardless of my criticism, there are a few gems. My personal favorite is the USS Credence, USS Annan, USS Thant and USS Armstrong. Interesting designs, but, again, I wish that the parts of some of these ships were connected to their respective hulls.
They really managed to make the Univers- class shine in comparison ...
These designs are catching up with modern concepts in science fiction whereas Star Trek has been adherent to 60s and 70s design for decades. I’m a fan. The tribute to classic Trek design is there. The 32nd century technology is imagined here as allowing designers to bring concept art into the physical world. The modules held in place by fields and the primary shapes are reminiscent of Iain M Banks Culture universe.
The Alcubierre-class starship has no warp nacelles what-so-ever. Instead it uses a temporal control device that funnels and controls the flow of chronons. As speed is distance over time, by altering the flow of chronons (time particles), the time necessary to travel a particular distance can be modified. Thus, traveling a certain distance would take exactly as much time as you desire. 10 lightyears would take only as long as you want it to take versus some small fraction of a year. This is up to and including 0 time at all. The Alcubierre-class can also be configured in any number of ways as it no longer requires accounting for inertia.
The Alcubierre, the ship for which the class is named, is shaped like cigar. It is cylindrical along its central axis and rounded at both ends. It does not have obvious torpedo tubes or phaser banks. The Alcubierre has transphasic transporters which operate slightly out of phase with reality. This allows them to bypass shields of nearly any configuration. In order to maximize efficiency, the Alcubierre has a decentralized command deck with command areas near each major system and function. This design was borrowed from the Borg and has proven important to the Alcubierre's record of never being damaged in battle beyond reason.
Primary weapons on the Alcubierre consist of traditional phasers banks routed through the transphasic transporters. This puts the weapons fire directly on the target area. Secondary weapons are transphasic photon torpedos and transphasic quantum torpedos. Utilizing the transphasic transporters, the phasers beams and torpedos are directly placed on and in, respectively, the target of attack. This allows weapons fire to completely circumvent nearly any shielding technology. Even adaptability such as the Borg have is rendered nearly useless. Boarding parties can also be placed directly on board a target ship or station. Transphasic shielding also negates the need for a deflector array which opens up more space inside the ship for other functions.
AS the USS Alcubierre can manipulate time particles, it has a sort of timeless quality to it. Many observers have stated that upon seeing the Alcubierre, they find themselves calmed and comforted by its form. No one has yet to figure out what specifically it is about the Alcubierre that makes it so satisfying.
Tell me, was the USS discovery "displaced in time"? 😅
StarTrek was a great science fiction story. These ships come from a perversion of Startrek that deliberately ignores all the rules, tropes, intent and spirit of its creators (as almost all modern re-imaginings do).
Actually, in the ST universe, dilithium was inert to antimatter when its lattice structure was saturated with the EM field in the M/AM reaction chamber. A tech that would make it reactive in spite of the field would destroy the reactor.
I did not know that the Curie was that big, such a cool design. I'd have to say the mars class scouts are my favourite future design though.
I don't get all the hate against these designs. I actually like the super futuristic and out of this world designs on these. Its like people nowadays don't like change and want to only have the things they liked when they were young or something.
At 3:27; and its sister ships the "Clearwater" and "Revival". ;-)

@@glennwoden528 I'm only 40 and I know the band. 🙂
Mr. Sulu... I see a bad moon...it's there on the ...!
There was also a reason why the Warp Nacelles were so exposed in the past, as they emitted Radiation that could not be easily compensated, which is why they were placed on pylons far away from the hull, which, however, brought with it a major Problem, they represented a tempting Target for any Attacker, as simply destroying or even JUST damaging the Warp Nacelles could render a ship incapable of Warp!
A Problem that seemed to be solved with the release of the Defiant-Class, so instead of shoving this important piece of Equipment in the Enemy's Face, Warp Nacelles should actually have disappeared completely into the Hull!
Sorry but I don't understand the "iconic" part. These were just a random designs that showed up in discovery (a very bad treck compared to the old ones) and have to bacground of history in start trek lore, they don't look good either.

Nothing from godawful KurtzmanTrek is even remotely close to being “iconic.”
Ultra future Federation starship design might not even need a warp nacelles. Nobody ever thought of that? It's like giving modern Battlecruisers triple cannon turrets.
@joeldelica8706 Warp nacelles has been considered as mini types due to advancing Warp core and secondary transmitter, moreover, battlecruisers consoles requires connon, phaser, laser beam, and torpedo, as main weaponary devices to heavy vessel carrier networks.
@@linz8291 What you mean "as mini types?"
I mean they're smaller than average.
@@linz8291 Ah, i see. Still, at some point in the future. The warp nacelles will be abandoned for a more advance system. And the saucer hull, engineering hull and warp nacelles will either change or completely disappear. Michael Okuda talked briefly about that in the old USS Enterprise D Technical Manual.
I always imagined future Star Trek Ships like the USS Relativity which didn't have visible nacelles anymore and the design was almost organic. I admit I'm sad we didn't see something in that direction or the 31st Century Ships from Star Trek Online
I HATE with a passion the floating nacelles. I hope someday all of this will be declared non canon or part of some alternate universe
How on earth can a 32nd century ship have a maximum speed of only warp 9.975 when 24th century ones are faster?!
Bad writing 😄
I feel like a nerd knowing that, but the given warp speed on the first ship is from the original uss voyager.
USS vengeance is the most beautiful ship in starfleet imo
Nice! Love the designs!
A few thoughts...
1)I just can't keep wondering where the Angelou Class ship has its warp nacelles.
2) I can imagine the 32nd Century Enterprise belonging to the Constitution/ Kirk Class.
3) The U.S.S Credence has six nacelles? Does that mean it has 3 warp cores?
4) The U.S.S Nog and U.S.S Jubayr are the most alien-looking Federation ships.
5) Most of them are gigantic in size dwarfing the Galaxy Class quite easily.
6) Never thought the Starfleet Headquarters was actually a starship able to convert to a space station. Cool!
Plus, you forgot the U.S.S. Andares.
1. Probably underneath it like the Mayflower or Miranda so we cant see them from that camera angle
2. Yes
3. The Constellation had four nacelles and one warp core, so why would that be needed
4. YES! I love that federation ships are actually being designed by people who aren't humans
5. Yup
6. That reveal was one of the coolest scenes of the show.
some of this ships dates back before the burn so, so most of this ship designed are outdated, but the only updated on some of them are their systems.
They'll look like items you can find in the toilet. :x
one look like a shower head, toilet bowl, hair dryer, shampoo bottle, drying cap etc etc...
I know the Constitution class. The Constitution class was a friend of mine. The Armstrong is not a Connie.
Voyager J and kirk class are the best ones there.
You forgot the uss falcon , 1920 meters long falcon class egg shape sor section warp 9.9975 crew 1600 captain Morgan build 2455
An Oberth class, on its worst day, is 10 times more appealing to me than all these new ships combined, on their best day.
Uhhh...and how exactly do most of these ships warp without nacelles? What am I missing...
What about the USS Mitchell. It was mentioned several times in Star Trek Discovery.
I still hate the federation hasn't moved on from dilithium in all those centuries, when through out each series other ways were mentioned
Where is the successor to the Enterprise j?
Everything has to end one day......
Voyager was the flag ship in the time line this time
blown up
If that's the future of Star Trek I don't want to see it.
Like the writing of Discovery, they all feel ai generated
"hidden federation headquarters space station"
These designs do not excite me. The detached warp nacelles didn't make sense during an attack they can be independently targeted. Then there's one ship with no neck not attached to the body at all. Not feeling the designs at all. 😕
They could be independently targeted even if they were attached. Targeting subsections of a ship has been a thing since TNG. I think the lack of VERY THIN neck and pylons means there's less vulnerable things for the enemy to shoot.
When you are right you are right Stacy! 😢
i stopped watching STD after season 1, i am glad i did, seems like they beat that going in time bullshit to death
What the hell is the point of having an entire starship be a jungle surrounded by glass?
I love these designs, this era feels fresh and different, not all are my favs, but I appreciate they tried something new 🫡
im with you on that, you can tell these are federation ships, but evolved. it makes sense that they look a bit alien to us because its over a thousand years into the future. For example, to the vikings a thousand years ago, our ships now might look really alien to them, why can't it be the same for us, but in the future.
Why does the uss credence have 6 nacelles? Surely after u add to many it becomes redundant bcus even the voyager has 2 nacelles and goes like 9.99 warp no?
As fas as I'm concerned none of these ships are canon.
i kinda like number 7 apart from that the others look fake in the sense they seem to be made to look cool.
I really think your off on the ship sizes ?

That's NO starship, it's a space station! Nice tribute to Aron "Nog" Eisenberg, though.
#11, that's no ring, that's a donut!!
Why the detached nacelles? They wouldn't function at all. The entire quantum entanglement bs that people try to use to claim pushing 1 atom entangled with another atom would push both is so incredibly false that its incredible ANYONE would believe it. That theory states that quantum entanglement makes both atoms share a state, a state is not motion. So moving one wouldn't have ANY effect on another. It would mean that if you heat 1 of them up the other would be heated as that is a change in state, or if you damage 1, the other would recieve the same damage, or you could transfer power that way as electrifying one would electrify the other, but drawing power from either would cause the power to drop in both. The only way detached warp nacelles would POSSIBLY work would be tractor beam tech, but that would also create a massive structural problem with sheering forces and navigation as the nacelles would rotate at a different speed than the rest of the ship. Just please stop with this junk fraudulent science crap...
The detached nacelles look hilariously bad.
The ships in this series were designed by children suffering from fever dreams and over use of cough syrup
Are we sure the Discovery was the time-displaced ship? Can you repeat it again, please? I forgot which one it was.

Cixin Liu? yeah
@@liamscienceguy8153 - That's awesome.
Somewhere Matt Jeffries is spinning in his grave.
Matt Jeffries' core concept for the Enterprise was something that you couldn't build out of modern materials. The nacelles are intentionally spindly for that reason. He probably would have done exactly this had he been able to.
The Armstrong was the only decent looking ship there.
These star ships won't look like any star trek previous ships, there design totally different completely different from others

Hold on here what about SlipStream drive?
From what I recall from the one time I watched it - they crystals that’s used for Slipstream drive are extremely rare , 🤷🏼♂️ ( discovery writers )
even though in the 24th/25th century ~2380-2415 ( including Star Trek online all ships have a slipstream burst drive for 30 minutes (150 LY) with a cooldown of 12 hours ) up to maximum 2 hours (600 lightyears ) cooldown of 2-3 days .
Load of bullshit and not to be considered as Star Trek canon along with that STD Discovery.
@@lasarith2 Star Trek Online (STO) is a mere 'Beta Canon', which basically means "not a canon". A definition of Star Trek IP's Beta Canon is, "all officially licensed NON-canonical works". So at the end of the day, STO does not matter at all.
Otherwise, the thing about the "crystals" being "rare" does not come from "discovery writers", as you've stated above.
In-universe, Slipstream Drive is being regulated mostly (but not exclusively) by Benamite crystals which are the best known means for this kind of a job, are naturally occurring, but unfortunately very rare. Even rarer than Dilithium. On top of that, Benamite is extremely difficult to synthesize (Dilithium cannot be synthesized nor replicated at all); in the late 24th century, the UFP's available technology needed north of one year to synthesize one crystal thereof.
All of this was established on ST: VOY in the late 1990s where the given Drive was first introduced. This only shows that DIS writers do know and do follow ST's Alpha Canon and continuity. Well, at least sometimes.
@@subraxas quote from Trekyards when asked , - Booker states that the ( crystals) are extremely rare and he can’t get any - as to why he isn’t using them for slipstream drive , or any other starship for that matter Series 3 discovery, also they are using a form of slipstream in Prodigy with the Protowarp drive and the Voyager A is equipped with a basic form of it , - so we’re both right and wrong .
@@subraxas ps: and if anyone would know it would be Trekyards .
Ok...these are the dumbest looking ships ever. No form, no soul, no art. Please tell me that you can do better than this
Some are interesting, but its like when you ask AI to make ships from Star Trek.
I like some and don't like others. I appreciate what ST: DSC was trying to do. There are characters I really liked such as: Suru, Lorka, Reno, Detmer, Dr. Culber, Georgiou, their version of Spock & Pike etc., etc. And for all of you who didn't like the show remember the "it doesn't feel like Star Trek" was also said about ST: TNG first three seasons before some people came around. I liked ST: DSC because it pushed ST further and no matter what some fans say, it gave us ST: SNW. And for those of you who were around, by the end of ST: ENT people were tired of Star Trek. I know the show had it's fans (I also liked it), it's ratings were way down and the studio could not save it. I'm happy to see any ST because like Leonard Nimoy once said "Open your mind! Be a Star Trek fan and open your mind and say. Where does ST want to take me now". Love it! Take care.
Finally someone in the comment section who doesnt complain about how "this is what happens when you let DEI hires design your starships", thank you very much good sir

The enterprise J was a cool design holding try to federation fundamentals.
these ship design is some one who put it in a AI generator and pooped it out. Detached parts of the ships makes no sense, they even said that some ships has programable matter, holographic and other crap that makes it sound "advance" but space is dangerous, plenty of anomalies that can disrupt the ship. Imagine walking in the corridor suddenly the programable matter/ holographic walls disappear or you just lost your nacelles xD
And if you check the Kelvin time line, their ships are so mushy (basically made by apple) I dont wanna live on those type of ships.
Btw in the discovery turbolift scene which is same size as a borg cube... imagine how big it is in those star ships xD
Is this even a star trek anymore
I never was the biggest fan of the Star Trek aesthetic to begin with, I don't much like the super sleek and curved aesthetics you get in Star Trek or Mass Effect and prefer the more rough and rugged style you'd see in Star Wars, Babylon 5, Halo, Homeworld...

Definitely not my idea for "cool looking spaceships"
I just do not understand the overboard architecture of these vessels.. In a vacuum aerodynamics is irrelevant and compactness is king.. Colony ships would want to maximize cargo volume so a large spherical hull with 4 warp nacelles and 2 warp reactors for redundancy would seem the most utilitarian shape.. Even a Borg cube seems like a more plausible design over these depictions..
The same applies to every other ship in star trek history except the borg sphere.
@@liamscienceguy8153 I read somewhere that the Enterprise J saucer section is supposed to be 2 miles wide?. This would increase the strain on internal logistics by adding unnecessary miles of power infrastructure let alone traveling from one area to another by thousands of people all the time..

If someone argues that they want to keep parts of the ship away from passengers and crew berths then why would impulse engines and weapons be a part of the saucer sections on all the Starfleet ships?? Should we worry that common sense is even worse in the future??
