Since the Birth of the Federation, or indeed Starfleet, the peaceful resolution had always been at the forefront of any potentially hostile situation. Never building ships dedicated for combat, but instead focusing on exploration and scientific discovery. But could Starfleet actually defend themselves if the need occurred? Well, as anyone who hasn’t been living under an intergalactic rock since 1965 will attest, YES, we can, and we have done, many times.

I want it equipped with a spore drive. Imagine whole civilizations fighting for their lives against a handful of cubes, Defiant jumps in from nowhere, obliterates them with transphasic torpedoes and leaves again without a word. I don't know if canon covers this, but after the end of Voyager, if there are any Borg remaining then surely the federation would be their main target both for the technology and because of the threat they represent. It would seem to be an urgent matter to destroy as much of the remaining collective as possible before they can regroup and send everything they've got straight into sector 001.

The Enterprise E needs more screentime. It was a fantastic design. 3 movies wasn't nearly enough, and having its successor already being decommissioned in season 3 of Picard is a crime. Also the Akira-class is a great design. Would love to see more. It's basically a flying aircraft carrier, so it could be the focus of a very different type of story than what we usually see in Trek. And of course the Defiant, because that would mean we're getting more DS9 content (though hopefully not like the season 8 that was outlined in What We Left Behind because as much as I respect those guys and the work they did on DS9, their ideas for season 8 didn't appeal to me much at all).

The Genesis technology (70 years before TNG) is the ultimate. Both a weapon and planet builder. It eliminates any incentive for war which based on taking habitable planets. In a space setting, resources of any kind are not scarce. The only exceptions are for story devices, and they're always eliminated at the end of that story arc. The only scarcity would be creative work.

It's funny how the inpenetrable Tachyon shields, the Quantum Slipstream Drive and the Transphasic torpedoes employed by Voyager, are never mentioned by Star Trek after Voyager made it back to Earth. Each of those technologies completely and immediately obsoleted existing technology in the entire Alpha quadrant, even including Warp Drive. Voyager brought many hyper-advanced technologies to Star Fleet (only three are listed here), yet all of them are completely ignored in all Star Trek episodes, spin offs and movies that take place after Voyager returned to Earth.

My idea of the perfect warship would have zero windows. Transparent aluminum be damned, I don't want a single porthole in my warship looking out into space. Holographic technology eliminates the need for structural weaknesses like that. Every time I see big picture windows in spaceships meant for war, I think of this Canadian lawyer who used to punk new blood at the law firm at which he worked. He would initiate newbies by hurling himself at one of the big picture windows at office parties. Naturally it would cause fear because they were working in a high-rise office building, and the street was many stories below. Sure enough, the security windows never broke and he would normally bounce off while the window was no worse for wear. But what he never considered is that while the plate glass window was impervious to his shenanigans, the frame that held the window was not. The last time he hurled himself at the window, the entire frame broke out, sending him and that unbroken window hurtling to his death. I think about this every time I see warships in space with windows.

@JFrazer4303 2 года назад

Not a weather-proof building code, there. I once was tasked to remove a big window on floor level on a mall that was being taken down. I threw a sledge hammer at it, and it made a hole and a star of cracks, and bounced back.

The Star Trek novel "Imzadi" By Peter David has a more devastating weapon that the Borg will fear called "The Doomsday Machine". One of the Original Trek episodes of the second season tells of their encounter with the Doomsday Machine, which as mentioned in the novel the machine was actually designed by a race from the outer edge of our galaxy to destroy the Borg. The encounter with the Enterprise was just a small model of the quite larger version to come, but both were designed to hunt down and kill the Borg. If you haven't read the novel please do.

the Sovereign class was built specifically with combating the borg in mind, however the sovereign class was specifically kept out of the dominion war because they were the latest ships in the fleet and ultimately kept in reserve idiotically by starfleet brass and relegated them to patrol duties within star fleet's core worlds such as Earth, Vulcan and Andoria. apparently starfleet wanted to keep their strongest ships within these systems however from star trek nemisis or one of the other ones involving the enterprise E the sovereign class did see some light combat on these patrols, and since none were confirmed destroyed it seems they were more then a match for dominion ships. the movies have been proven canonical by star trek lower decks quote about the California class "don't go refitting the ship, i dont want it coming out all sovereign-y" which means the movies are canon if anyone wants to try to dispute it in universe: idiot admirals decided to keep their most powerful ships as security details for the capital worlds of the federation out of universe: Sovereign class wasn't designed yet and was kept to the movies to avoid confusion

Out of all of this batch of Borg Busters, I'd have to go with the Akira class. The Defiant and Sabre classes are both built to task. The Norway class looks incomplete with that large section missing. If they'd, later on, introduced mission-specific pods then it might not look so ungainly. I guess we'll never know with its loss. The Steamrunner class, at least in my opinion, suffers from the decision to make the secondary hull ventral rather than dorsal. It's a small change that greatly alters the whole dynamic of the design, much like the original intention to use the original Constitution model inverted before that was thankfully changed.

@davidford3115 2 года назад

Don't forget that the Reliant was supposed to have the rollbar UNDER the hull with the naccelles above. A mix-up resulted in what turned out to be a great way to differentiate the two hull designs in Wrath of Khan.

About Chuck Norris... So you think the Defiant is senile and coocoo and looks like it'll break it's hip when someone sneezes in the other room? Seen Chuck Norris lately? :D

My handle (nickname) has been Defiant for 20+ years, see my username, its "ez, D.F!ANT" as in, be easy D, cos I'm in your face just like the Defiant would be ahahaha...... "They don't call me Defiant because I'm compliant" damn I love that ship....

He totally commandeered the love I showed for it in the original script and went to warp with it, and I'm fine with that 🤣

@SoHBetaSword 2 года назад

Err, sorry, but as far as I know, the Main-Deflector is NOT the Ships Shield-System. The Main-Deflector is for clearting out the Way during warp. And Voyager had that failing once, with parts of the outer Hull being peeled off the Ship. Also, in Star Trek Online, the Class6-Defiant-Variant from the Mirror-Universe is even better than the Legendary Defiant-Variant in terms of just abount everything.

The Defiant was essentially the Fighter Jet of the Star Trek universe! My interpretation was its maneuverability was its deadliest aspect!

@biostemm 2 года назад

The Sabre is one of my favorite designs! I could see it traveling in packs of 3-5, patrolling areas and annihilating anyone foolish enough to engage them. It'd be cool to see a command variant that would lead such packs...

@mathiasloff6106 2 года назад

For me also. The Sabre is a wolf pack class and more versatile than the defaint. And it looks super cool.

@davidford3115 2 года назад

Indeed. I would love to see a Sabre Wing made of ships named after Aviation pioneers. USS Aldrin, USS Komarov, USS Gagarin, and USS Howard Hughs alongside the USS Yeager. And also, a Wolf-pack Squad named after submariner skippers who distinguished themselves. USS Gunther Prien (U-47, the Bull of Scapa Flow), USS Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock (The Smiling Sawfish- basis of Das Boot), USS Herbert Schneider (U-522), USS Helmut Rosenbaum (U-73), USS Kurt Sturm (U-410), USS Herbert Wohlfarth (U-556), USS Ottokar Arnold Paulssen (U-557), and USS Friedrich Guggenberger (U-81)

@kirk001 2 года назад

Steamrunner is near and dear to my heart. My first encounter with the ship was from the Star Trek RTS game (can't remember the official name), and yes, it's a giant torpedo launcher with warp drive. If I recall correctly, in the game, they launched poleron torpedoes which were longer range than any other weapon, and had a larger area of effect damage than other weapons. If you wanted to rain long range massive destruction on a target, it was the ship to use. Ahh fond memories.

@benrunsacross2935 Год назад

It has always struck me how Star Trek and other properties have such tiny numbers when they access to vast resources. You would expect millions of ships not dozens.

@megadk93 11 месяцев назад

Starfleet used to run thousands, if not ten thousand of ships simultaneously even before the threat of Borg and Dominion was known. Just look at the serial numbers, when the Voyager was launched, Starfleet had build 74.000 ships in little more than 200 years, and as some serial numers are used multiply, it could even amount up to 80.000. This roughly 350 ships per year, with less ships at the beginning. Kirks Enterprise was starfleet ship number 1701, 70 years after the founding of the Federation (but that doesn't mean Starfleet had only 1701 ships in these years. Maybe they used ships of the old planetary navies of the alliead races, so they didn't have to built a massive amount of ships in the first years). So I estimate that at the age of TNG, Starfleet is launching at least 700 new ships per year (!!!). That makes it obvious why the Federation was more than capable of defeating the dominion. They only had to change from an exploration fleet to a wartime fleet, which explains the setbacks in the early stages of the war. But numbers of ships were never a problem for the Federation, it was more about equipment and personell.

@dianapennepacker6854 10 месяцев назад

Yeah a few things that bothered me is... NOT only are their numbers small. With their teleporting, and replicating tech alone they should be pumping out ships. Also as far as their larger ships go? They've got a RIDICULOUS amount of interior space that isn't used. Someone did the math on it, and helped you visualize it. Basically the ships are needlessly big, and super empty. Either they should increase the crew size or state why they are so big. (Could be machinery for all I care.) Also there is no way in hell the human race would not be building dedicated war ships. Even if it were truly just for defensive purposes. At least defending their sectors of space, and not going out to explore like the Galaxy class. It would not be logical to take the chance. Also it is against human nature. I don't care what anyone says. Warships are awesome. If I were the Emperor of Mankind I would be building them just to build them, and pray I would never need to use them. (I'd be making a battleship with six 42" guns, as that is the answer for everything.)

@benrunsacross2935 10 месяцев назад

@@dianapennepacker6854 yeah as I’ve grown older I haven’t stopped enjoying Star Trek but I do see it as more fantastical and less SciFi. That’s ok within its own setting provided it stays consistent with it. New trek popped the ‘utopian’ bubble and that really makes all the other inconsistencies and contradictions stand out.

@dianapennepacker6854 10 месяцев назад

@@benrunsacross2935 That is a good point on in universe. Are any of the new treks decent? I tried watching Picard. Couldn't get past the first episode honestly. There is what... Two ongoing now? A third coming out? I tried watching a random episode of Discovery. Didn't like the cast. Oh speaking of war. The soldiers with their rifle phasers or whatever were awesome. I want to see some Exoskeletons, and Terminators from 40k using teleporting tech to blink in and out behind Borg to kill them. Trek just needs exoskeletons period. Forgot what series those soldiers popped in. The USS Vengence was cool too... The design anyway. The name, and everything was NOT Trek at all. Vengeance is just a name for "This ship is for offensive purposes only. I'm the bad guy". Anyway the Defiant is my favorite Trek ship. Possibly top 3 favorite sci fi ships of all time. Sort of weird they didn't make more as they were so effective. Or why the Federation never used cloaking devices. (I think it was a treaty). Cloaking devices on a science ship would be a good idea for defensive purposes, and for not being seen by pre warp civilizations.

@rickrouse7865 2 года назад

I don't like the lazy plot armor of Star Trek where the solution is technology which is akin to magic or handwaving. The Borg are suppose to be like a force of nature, a unstoppable power you don't fight but you survive. It's like the fabled Dragon that needs to be slayed, you know it can't be done with martial strength. But the writers can just be like "fuck it, the Federation developed weapons to defeat the Borg". That has to stop.

@karelkootjes2400 2 года назад

what if you were to design a ship? -> I would attempt to retrodesign the holoemmiter of the doctor from voyager.. -> with a ship designed basicly as a massive holoemitter... they could basicly emit any shipclass they desire... (photonic torpedo's already are a thing.... and what are phasers other than light.. so you don't need a fysical ship to fire.... ***even better if you create some sort of professor maliachi type of AI driving it.. aka unmanned/holograficly manned self-sentient vessels... ;) nothing to assimilate -> and any technology it was able to scan and add to it's database.. it could update itself with on the spot.. the ultimate federation vessel;)

@azores15 2 года назад

As much as I hate to say it, your preference for the Defiant might be justified. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Defiant is the only Starfleet vessel shown on DS9 to actually destroy a Dominion fighter ship. All the other Federation (and Romulan) ships were apparently there to serve as targets for the Jem Hadar while the Defiant and the Klingons attacked.

@marcusfranconium3392 2 года назад

Actualy the engine problem and gun problem of beeing to powerfull for its size is not a new one. late 1870s there where 24 meter boats with 11 inch guns. you can see how that would impact the construction of those ships as the first time it shot a shell the gun sheared of the deck improvements where made and the gun even got upgunned from 22 caliber to 34 calibers . Frigates build in the 70s 80s had Rollsroyed olympuss engines the same used in the old concord , they where so powerfull that they reduced the wartime output to 70% of maximum power otherwise it would shear of the power tranferblock ( a type of balbaring that conected the props to the ship) and ram the propshaft through the main gearbox , infact having your props going faster than the ship it self. And they even cut it down with a further 70% to reduce wear on the turbines. and conserve fuel . and yet the frigates/and destroyers would motor along at 34 knots at a 40% power setting.. Problems that got solved with newer turbines.
