TriAngulum you are truly the hardest working Star Trek Content Creator on TH-cam. Your efforts this month alone have not gone unrecognized! Much Thanks! 🙏
WOW! Thank you so much! Im just trying to do as much as I can for the Star Trek Community during these horrible times... Ive never seeked to be recognized for anything, I just do me, as it were. But to have you say that is so humbling and im very honored... Thank you for the support :)
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Very well explained, detailed and simplified just like your previous Trek Facts videos. Live long and prosper and God bless.
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut nah just kidding great video Tri. I love the Intrepid bridge design
This right here,
This is gospel truth. 😂
💫💫💫
For all of the series' faults, the production design of Voyager was incredible.
I couldnt agree more :)
Alas, we never got to see the interior of Janeway's evil laboratory where she worked on new ways to torture her crew or create a perfect blend of coffee.
@@salenstormwing You mean Neelix's Kitchen? The same room that was the Captain's Dinning Room? Yeah. We've seen it. A lot. And a lot of the time. You never asked what came out of it.
Which faults except sacking the Kess character earlier?
I really adore Voyager. It is such a tough ship. Constructed to be a survivor.
Perfect match for Janeway.
I felt the intrepid class ship as seen is Voyager was a "Let's get back to what star ships are supposed to be for" No gripes about Enterprise in TNG, but it seemed to fancy, more like a cruise line. Intrepid to what just right.
I really dislike the "LoveBoat" feel of TNGs Bridge design... Voyager's Bridge seems to make so much sense to me!
That was the whole point of the Galaxy Class. They were designed to be comfortable.
@@Locutus yep, the Galaxy-class was a peacetime ship.
One of the best bridge designs in Star Trek, very elegant.
I completely Agree :)
Yes. My favorite. The defiant is well cramp (duh) and Picard's bridge was very nice but too much space wasted.
I appreciate that Starfleet is still using Staples office chairs for the Science station.
My fav. bridge.
It's a great bridge design :)
Voyager proved the class was a durable class. One thing I notice the master display of the ship behind the captain while visual communications with anyone could give away or at least what the ship looks like to anyone they are talkin too on screen
Yes it certainly did in spades!
I loved the Intrepid Class, second to the Excelsior Class. But I wonder if on the Master Situation Display had a little duck on one of the decks. 🤔 There was one bit of information that was missed at the Operations Station. "Only Ensigns, with no chance in promotion, controlled this station." 😄
I always liked the intrepid class bridge though a little annoyed it took me longer to find out where those extra doors and corridor went to then it took the Voyager crew to get back to earth.
LOL I know right? :P
This ship was always my favorite design. It is sleek, low profile, and looks more functional than the high disk on narrow neck design.
The bridge footage in this vid are stunning. Made me feel like I was actually aboard one of these fine vessels.
Excellent! I've been binging on Star Trek Voyager, so this video is really timely and appreciated!
I love when things work out like that :)
Now to do the little sister bridge of my favorite class. The Nova
It IS on the to do list :)
There's coffee on that bridge!
LOL Always :P
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics 😉🖖
Awesome bridge tour! Never really noticed the extent and design elements when watching the show, it's likely because it was dark compared to the brightly lit Ent-D bridge. Picard supposedly had (but never seen) a private head off his readyroom, and Janeway would be disappointed that her's didn't.
How is it that this is the first time I’ve ever seen the Intrepid class deck one blueprint? I never knew all that stuff was accessible down the hallway behind the MSD.
I like this bridge layout and for a ship of this size it's perfect. Never cared for the captains chair though. That should, IMO, always remain in the middle. Poor Tom Paris, constantly having to slide back and forth at the helm. That was the only other bridge design that I didn't like. Overall, it's a nice layout.
Peace and long life 🖖😷
I couldnt agree more... I hated the Love Boat Galaxy Class design...
I agree, it always bothered me that the captain's chair wasn't centered. It makes total sense for filming purposes if you're going to have a solo helm up front. I don't mind the helm configuration on principle (and in fact, I think the ops station at the back makes more sense), but would much rather have a traditional two person console up front so it would be visually balanced with the centered captain's chair.
Considering the way people fall off their chairs so easily in Star Trek, I'm surprised all the chairs on the bridge weren't bucket seats with (futuristic) 5-point harnesses. Particularly the helm operator.
Very nice review of the Interpid-class and beautiful CGI! The Interpid is one of my favorite classes of ships from the 24th Century. Keep'em coming!
Not gonna lie, the driver seat always looked pretty uncomfortable to me.
Yeah it's interesting, but picturing sitting there 8+ hours...
Almost 25 years of watching ST:VOY and I NEVER noticed that the captain’s chair was off center and only had one other full chair next to it. I just assumed it had two additional chairs like the Enterprise D. Mind blown!
LOL Ta DA! Love to blow peoples minds ;) :P
Happy Monday👍
Same to you my friend :)
love the intrepid class.
“Elegant and functional” but can still be destroyed by cheese.
Like us ALL! :P
TriAngulum Audio Studios Hahaha
Also noticed at 6:28 that the Delta Flyer looks a tight fit and apparently can’t get out without taking the ceiling with it! Wonder where Baxial is kept in there?
True I noticed that as well... Not sure if it's actually to scale though ;)
TriAngulum Audio Studios Probably, but the Delta Flyer doesn’t look like it has much room in the show, in most shots anyway, not that the Type-9 shuttle wasn’t shown as massive sometimes either. Maybe Voyager was built at the Galifrey shipyards?
LOL maybe it's like that Enterprise Episode, "bigger on the inside?" :P
Great vid, very informative! I didn’t know loads of the info you gave! Brilliant! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful Jamie :)
Voyager had a gorgeous bridge
Indeed it did!
I love Voyager and the Pathfinder class varient.
Voyager's interiors are my favorite. I also enjoy the NX-01's.
ahhhh yessss! all this nerd talk makes me feel good inside! Love my Star trek Voyager haha.
lovely thank you i like the intrepid voyager hope your well and safe till next time live long and prosper
Great detail and explanation.
Really good overview, and whoever is doing your animation is doing an excellent job
This was GREAT!
Still my all time favorite class of ship from Star Trek and in my top 3 of all Scifi.
I always loved the design of the Intrepid bridge, but always wished it had the colour scheme of the Sovereign class. Thanks for putting this episode together and letting us know what was behind that bridge.
The Intrepid class is my favourite Starship & I think that it's a beautiful looking vessel & it's bridge is my favourite out of all Starfleet Starship bridges
It isnt my favorite, but I do think it's an excellent looking and excellent design :)
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics ok cool
I always thought it was a questionable idea to put the main bridge at the very top of the ship way up on deck 1 (rather than deeper in the vessel).
It just seemed like a vulnerable location for the command center. If I were an enemy aware of federation design, then I would relentlessly target all my weapons at the main bridge at the onset of any engagement with a starship.
Just a thought.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Love it!
Me too! :)
as a Huge Trek fan for years...saw the original as a kid in the 60's/70's.... Voyager IS my Favorite Ship - Not too big, NOt too small.....and I could actually envision myself on a ship like it ….Play STO- Startrek online since BETA - and I Always Pick the Voyager bridge for whatever ship Im using --
Office chairs with casters?! How modern!
The only thing more elegant than the Intrepid class bridge are your videos!
Awww thank you so much :)
The intrepid bridge is one of my top favs
Its right next to the soverigns bridge and the excelesior
I never liked the galaxy bridge it just seemed empty
Yeah I was NEVER a fan of the Luxury Liner Bridge!
The additions to the bridge in Generations made it perfect, I feel.
Random Bystander The Generations edition certainly made it feel more “useful”, especially with the addition of the side consoles in place of the computer/storage areas. It made the bridge feel less empty.
IMO a far more practical bridge design (and favorite) than the Galaxy class, although I have a soft spot for Star Trek: Generations Enterprise bridge. That to me should've been the bridge design, especially after The First Borg Incident were Enterprise was under going heavy repair between 4-6 weeks.
voyager had one of the best looking bridges for sure!
No doubt! Completely Agree :)
Cool vid. 🙂👍
There is coffee in that nebula!
My guess is that office behind the bridge is the Executive Officer's. Allows the XO to walk to the CO's office or vice versa with relative ease.
Love the class!
It's not my favorite, But I love it as well :)
I love your Trek Facts videos. THANK YOU!!!
Well thank you for the support Ian :)
best bridge ever
Nice boycnt Video ! Love it
Tanks, I Tink it is da best! #BoyCntsForLife (Or at least this comment :P )
This is my favourite Starfleet bridge of all eras. Best design, best colour scheme and best illumination but, like all other Federation ships, the view screen is too small. I mean, ıf the bridge was my living room and the view screen was the same size as my TV, I would say 'Meh. Need to get a bigger TV".
Does the source you got the Deck 1 blueprint from show where the torpedo and shuttle replicators are located?
Kidding, aside, I love the Voyager bridge and the overall design of the ship. Great video as always!
Really wish this bridge was available in Bridge Crew, I love the space. Easily my favourite ST bridge design.
Agreed!
I never noticed how ridiculously uncomfortable looking the Helm's chair was.
LOL I know right?
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Poor Tom. His back must have ached after a duty shift.
Currently prepping for a Star Trek Adventures games, your content has been absolutely priceless! What program are you using for the 3d views of this ship? Having these kinds of visual aids in my game would be amazing! Thank you so much for what you're doing!
At the start of the video it states that Star Fleet had the challenge of creating a ship that wasn't designed for a specific mission type. The problem with that is most starships such as all the Enterprises were designed for mutliple mission types from exploration and scientific research to defence or diplomacy.
You are great. Can you make a video about the bridge of the Enterprise A in ST VI?
I always thought the Galaxy class’s bridge was just way too small and didn’t have enough stations or personnel for a ship of its size. This makes far more sense as a ship’s bridge.
God, you’re so productive 😂 It’s really inspiring, tbh. Makes me want to upload weekly again~
Awww
TriAngulum Audio Studios lmfaoooo 😂😂
I’d heart that, if i could
You’re the only Star Trek TH-camr for me 💕
LOL If I had a dollar for every guy Ive heard THAT from on this channel, Id be a Kabillionare! :) No but seriously, thanks for the support, it is appreciated from the deepest recesses of my heart :)
TriAngulum Audio Studios lololol 😂
Well, in that case, you can take MY support to the bank, book it ~
The Intrpid did a lot of different and unique things with its design. I especially like how compact it is but not confined.
Yes me too! I love the connection it makes to the Sov, the Nova, Akira, Steamrunner etc... They dont all look the same, but they all have that same sort of "After 359" feel!
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics I feel like the Intrepid was the answer to all the discussions about the Constitution's weak points. No elongated neck, minimal nacelle struts, and a very narrow profile.
Indeed, it seems absolutely natural as a progression in Starfleet Design :)
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics The Love Boat sceme definitely comes from both the kithomer and algeron treaties. The design changed completely...
The show and ship I first grew up with! I loved Voyager, even with all of its faults in writing. The ship itself is sleek and powerful and the sense of scale is really shown here with the footage!
I can imagine the Captain having to shout to be heard during Red Alert with explosions going on behind them.
- What was used to model the ship interior and was it yourself who made it? It looks fantastic.
How it really worked on the shows: Everyone could do everything from every console.
....unless an unauthorized person gained access to a panel elsewhere in the ship and locked out everyone on the main bridge.
First to comment! Love your videos!
Bobby from Dallas, TX!
Well thank you so much once again :) And Grats :)
it seems like with the modern nature of Starfleet designs at this time, they could have made the entire bridge unit a life boat.
Yes they should have!
Voyager's bridge is my personal favorite. Seem to be the most efficient design, even better than the OE Enterprise bridge.
I agree :)
I really loved the Intrepid class. Although I wasn't an enormous fan of the hinged nacelles.
Me either, it really seemed like a design flaw... I mean what happened if one hinge failed?
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics Plus everytime they had to make an emergency jump into warp speed, they had to wait the extra second or two for the nacelles to swing back up.
How do you get those cinematic shots in STO
Wonder what the opinions would be if some of the alternate bridge designs had been selected?
Where did you get the 3d model of the ship? I really want to view it myself 😩
It's a pretty efficient design. I wonder if they took cues from the Defiant Class and just scaled it up to reflect the "tactical-science" nature of the ship design. As much as I like the Galaxy-class, I never liked the civilian cruise ship aesthetic of it (among other things). If anything, the Galaxy-class SHOULD have had this design or kept the layout from the Ambassador-class.
Yeah I am NOT a fan of the Galaxy Class Luxury Liner Bridge!
That's an interesting question - both ships would have been designed at *about* the same time, so I wonder which design came first? The Defiant was going to be called the Valiant until they pointed out that Voyager was in production and they didn't want to have two ships starting with V.
wait. If helm was so wide that a single person had to slide around to reach it. why not 2 helmsmen? What was the layout that Paris didn't need to reach both sides at once?
Thank you for your many fine videos. Have you ever given thought to doing one about the bridge configuration of Deep Space Nine?
It's actually coming soon ;) So stay tuned ;) And thank you for your kind words and support :)
USS Sally Ride brought me here.
10:04 Could you tell me the source of the Deck Plan? Is it official or fan-made?
It is official!
The only particularly odd thing about the Intrepid class was just how much space is dedicated to the captain's private use. The captain's private space is larger than Galaxy class, which when you consider how much smaller the Intrepid class is really makes for an abnormal percentage of real estate. It's almost as if the design was supposed to be a private yacht before someone realized Starfleet wasn't likely to approve an Admiral's luxury retirement shuttle.
For example on the Intrepid a captain was provided with a large office, a large private quarters, and a private galley large enough to be converted into a kitchen and dining area that comfortably served the ENTIRE CREW. I wouldn't be surprised if in the original design had intended to provide the captain with their own private golf course, before the writers errr. I mean Starfleet thought it was impractical to have the other 150 or so crew sleeping in the corridors with sleeping bags like homeless refuges.
Actually, only the galley area was supposed to be for the captain's private dining. The mess hall outside the galley (kitchen) was already for the entire crew. See the episode "The Phage" and you'll see that it was only the galley that Neelix created out of the captain's dining room. Ironically, Voyager did have a "Captain's Yacht" embedded under the "saucer" section that was similar to what was seen in Star Trek: Insurrection.
Hello pretty! Where did those beuytifull blue prints in the tenth minute come from?
I was just thinking. Bioneural Jel packs (Not sure how it's written). How creepy could it be if it was technology that could only be harvested from living beings and not replicated/synthesised?
That would be VERY creepy... LOL Along the lines of Ransom in the 2 Parter Equinox!
Was it ever explained where the bioneural gel came from?
No just that it was a technological breakthrough! :)
@@VidIan262009 Remember the Bio-Mimetic Gel mentioned in DS9? I'd guess it was derived from that.
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics well, they had to find SOME way to control the "TRIBBLE" issue.
I'm guessing the captain's and first officers chairs was a production choice because of the two crew's working together etc but I could never get my head around it...CAPTAINS CHAIR NEED'S TO BE IN THE CENTER
Was this filmed using STV:EF:RPG-X?
whatever your opinion on Discovery, I like the bridge having the huge window in front; it really suits a ship of exploration
I dont mind the Window Viewer at all!
Yep this is definitely one of my favorite bridge designs (and ship designs) from all of Star Trek.
I am curious, did the Voyager bridge get any small changes throughout its 7 season run like the Enterprise D did?
I didnt come across any really!
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics you forgot though that it turns out that the storage bins is where the extra TORPEDOS were stored so that there would be enough for a seven year mission
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics obviously they must have got the set right first time which is quite unusual in Star Trek. The conference room set was that good I believe they redressed it to use as Troi's office in Insurrection, but I am sure you can confirm if that is correct?
Fuck Yeah ! Amazing Vidéos 🍷💪🏻
What the guy below said ?
Is it me, or does the conference room table resemble the Cardasian Emblem?
LOL It's just you :P
CONSOLETRUTH2 more the bajoran logo
Damn those seats look uncomfortable
Is the Defiant Bridge been done yet? That's my fav
Yes I did :) th-cam.com/video/Lp6ks_r5q-E/w-d-xo.html
50 polygons saved on the conference table
10:07 sorry, english isn't my first language. What is a bridge "head" in this context?
Thats ok, you are more then welcome here :) Bridges Head is the military term for the Bridges Bathroom ;) :P
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics
haha, I didn't want to give a excuse for me being here, but for me not knowing what a head is :D
I thought of "bridge head" like of the military situation and that couldn't have been right. But thanks :)
Nothing to apologise for. Even most English speakers don't know what the 'head' is. I had no idea what one was until I started working on boats! But, TriAngulum is right, it's a naval term for the toilet.
Toilets in the olden days were at the front of the ship (also known as the head). People would do their business at the front of the ship so that the sea would wash any "stains" from the boat.
@@LocutusThat's a row of cannons nobody wants to see
@@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics "head" is a nautical term. Prominently, in the US Army, "Latrine" serves the same purpose.
I have only ever watched 1 episode of Voyager as I am very late to Star Trek (my first was Discovery) but they were fighting Space Nazi's and I just kinda checked out halfway though.
I love to fight Space Nazi's I thought EVERYONE did :P
Like most of the star trek shows, it takes a couple of seasons to find its footing. There are some really good episodes in the first 3 seasons, it really gets good when Seven gets there in season 4.
It was good design for television, but probably wouldn't be that practical. Stations are too far away from each other, they would need to shout, lots of unused space throughout that had to be shouted across. In one episode, Tuvok and Kim were conversing using communicators and nobody else knew.
And those steps! Come in from the turbolift, you would have to turn right, climb down the three steps in front of the tactical station, reverse course, and one step back up again to get to the command level. Very awkward, when it could have been two steps down, straight ahead. Many times, in a hurry, Janeway would hang tight to the railing post and fling herself around this obstacle course. In fact, the whole bridge seemed to be a giant tripping hazard - no wonder the first XO got killed so quickly.
Say about Voyager what you will but they had the best looking ship interiors. However, I don't like the lights on the bridge going off during alert status. The bridge looks so good when lit
Its a Great design, and yes, looks great from EVERY angle :)
487th like
another great informative video
I don't like that single helmsmen on a railed seat design. Cause now those exploding rocks just have to kill a single person in order for you to lose complete helms control.
Now please do one covering all the modifications that Coyager did in Star Trek Voyager..
No worries, it's on the to do list actually :P
I don’t recall ever seeing that head shown or referred to. Wash basins and sonic showers were shown several times, however no one ever addressed a toilet.
True, but it was LABELLED on set ;)
Most people don't send them in the mail!
It's only watching this video that I've realised just how badly designed the bridge of Voyager actually was! The large consoles are a nice touch, as are the bench seats... but the tiny seats for the rest of the bridge crew look like cheap office chairs and are ridiculous! The stepped floor looks like it was designed to be a massive trip hazard, and with many sharp corners for when the crew inevitably get knocked down. There are also guard-rails in front of the Captains and First Officer chairs that do literally nothing, as well as the console between them that seems to have been deliberately placed facing in the most inconvenient direction for both, and just out of reach of either. You've also got a massive map of the ship directly behind the Captain... so perfectly viewable when she's on screen. Finally, the whole thing is literally twice the size of what it needs to be, with so much wasted space it's bizarre!
Very well thought out flaws you’ve brought up. I like the bridge but you are right. Especially about the captains consoles and the blueprint of voyager right behind her 😂
I guess it's due to it's shape and no neck. I at first thought this ship was smaller than the original Constitution class. But this was only my first impression upon seeing it. Not yet having any facts about it's size.
Here early
Well welcome and Good Morning :)
Voyager's bridge is my favourite, nice 3D render of it, what's the source?
