16:38 Chronologically the first human assimilation happened years ago when the phoenix made warp. The Enterprise-E I believe a male engineer followed by a female engineer.
I can go more nerdy than thaat about them. Those actors were originally in the game "BORG", and due to all those things being filmed around the same time it landed them a small little roll in First Contact being borged lol.
There are at least one more civi ship being used by several factions in Federation space and allies. There's one in ST 3 Search for Spock, that got dwarfed by a Klingon Bird of Prey and later destroyed, and that same ship design has been used by other powers. Don't know the name of the design.
you also have the Talarian vessels showing up a lot in the TNG era... but my head canon is that the Talarian build and sold a lot of ships to other smaller powers
If it's been long enough, privacy and subtlety will matter less and less. Eventually you'd just gotta be like "Hey, the wife/husband and I are gonna go spend some quality time together. So y'all just put in some headphones or something for thirty minutes."
You left out of the Antares-Class cargos Ultra-Explosive Exploding Explodium, which is frequently used in the construction of Starfleet computer control panels.
Beginning with the Star Trek movies, it seems that consoles have used a lot of Explodium in standard starship production. Did the Antares-class haul that? I mean, that would be nerve-wracking, like any of us transporting nitro-glycerine in large quantities.
4:59)Seems better to have put the docking port on the top. 6:07)In one after series book, it was I.M. Pulse engines. 12:54)Para meters. Para:at, near or close. Meter: Distance or length. 14:08)Maybe the military would have taken them to Area 51. 16:47)Their beaming aboard is dramatic. The explosives could have been sent with a 3 second fuse. Same for when trapped by a tractor beam. Put a torpedo warhead into the beam.
I was hoping to see the Merchantman which was used for Star Trek III as the light cargo freighter that was destroyed by Kruge's Bird-of-Prey after the Klingon on the ship transmitted the information about the Genesis torpedo, and its design was used later for several episodes of TNG as freighters, and once for an annoyingly "by the book" group of aliens that were annexing a planet where people were already colonizing and not wanting to leave.
So many of these ships I just forget about, which is a shame, as they are interesting for numerous reasons. I still wish Star Trek's novel line was as expansive as Star Wars, just so we could get more on the civilian side. Something like Corps of Engineers, but for the civilian ships, unaligned human colonies not part of the federation or too far away, etc would be great.
the Y-class freighter was NOT armed with Phase cannons. They were armed with a single Plasma-cannon, CADET, please report back to your Fleet historical class for remedial training at once : Signed: Commodore Daul Shurin Star Fleet Command sector 7 Intelligence
What puzzles me is the question: How valuable were the cargoes they're hauling? If they're worth risking human lives for give those humans a fighting chance. If they're not, use drone ships. This seems like a policy for generating drama than how actual transportation has worked historically.
I always thought the freighters in Enterprise should have ben much larger. Massive compared to the NX class. I mean if you are going to run cargo over 5 years, make it count.
25:51 This isn't an Antares-class. It's an Amarie Class, also known as an Amarie Smuggler's Heavy Escort and/or a Smuggler's Combat Vessel. In both cases it is based on a very different hull shape and equipped with some of the heaviest weaponry of any civilian ship in all of Trek, in excess of many military vessels of its time. It's also not based on the Antares model, bur rather the Jovis model. In STO, the Amarie is equipped with standard phaser arrays and torpedoes, plus a cloaking device, twin side-mounted kinetic artillery cannons, a Slamshot Magnetic Artillery Cannon, and on top of all that, onboard NPCs that are otherwise exclusive to Ferengi and a handful of lower-tier ships. Also, despite STO classifying the ship as an "Escort" it has the Destroyer mastery package, probably due to the ridiculous number of guns.
But how can they have merchants or freighters when there is no money or other forms of trade/currency/commerce other than purely "for the experience" deals like Sisko's restaurant?
Why do we all name our alien generals Biscuit?!! Now, now Q...you are new to the game. It's just, it's confusing Q! They might start asking questions, if, they all had the same name. R! This one is starting to ask too many questions! Go clean your room R, you come back to your RLG later!
Since the Federation doesn't use money.. exactly, but "credits", people probably use them for holodeck time and transporter access. I suppose a lot of civilians do in fact own small ships and shuttle craft , but they're just not shown on screen due to time and/or budget constraints.
I don’t think this breaks cannon at all. The signal they sent would allegedly reach the Delta quadrant by the 24th century. Assuming the Borg received it they would have dispatched a cube heading towards the alpha quadrant. Who is to say that the cube that Q threw the Enterprise-D in-front of in sector J-25 wasn't a cube enroute already to the Alpha quadrant? i agree with Picard that Q actually dis them a favour. Also, Admiral Hansen admitted they didn't expect them so soon. i think it was clever how they tied it in so neatly to the timeline.
The Y class Freighters has not the High End Phase Canons, they use odinary Plasma Turrets, they are in most Battle agains Pirats absolute useless. Only the ECS - Horizon has her Weapons linked to the impulse Relays for more firepower. Travis has make this modifications in good will but without permission from his Mother or brother. But the result was impressive for such kind of ship. [S2 EP20 Horizon] Humans play evertime with dangerous Things, and they become mostly many problems. XD I have no understand, why Starfleet has send a ship with warp cability to observe a excavation areal. The assimilated Arctic version was a interessing Idea. Maybe that the Scoutships was 'borgified' smaler vessels at all. Only the huge Cubes was possible was a complete build up. The Yacht was realy a odd desing. The Pimary hull looks like the excelsior class engine section. XD And the absurde nacells yelling "I have the bigger balls" Of course the owner of such kind of vessels the haven't. At all...a ship to forgott. The Antares Class was the earthship with tha most modification cability. Only the triangle shape freighter like the Mondor from the Pakleds was older and become much more modifications. Starfleets first contact with it was the crashed one on a unkown planet. [sorry i have forgot the Name of this Episode. It was too boring. 😋] Funny is that both shiptypes you can see overall in the entire galaxis. XD It would a interessing project to find a plausible inverse explain for this paradox. 🤭
raid shadow legends! - the game that crashes every 5 minutes, and bombards you with advertisements for ingame purchase items every single time you change screens in the game.
Why is it the UK armed forces always seem to promote the wrong guy to lieutenant? I mean they constantly refer to all of them as left Tenants ? and never the RIGHT Tenant? I guess what can you expect of a country continually trying to stuff their holiday suitcases in their boots instead of putting them in the trunk of their car like Americans do ? like how much luggage can fit in a pair of shoes ?
Personal preference! However, ads like RAID Shadow Legends help channels and creators like us fund new projects, pay staff like our editors and make more videos. So we are very grateful to them for sponsoring us. - Jack
19:53 and I am reminded why I gave up on that show. Compare that ugly ship to the Guanshiyin on The Expanse. You can make a ship owned by a rich jerk without it being butt ugly.
Are you kidding me? An arctic space ship? OMG. Writers really have fallen off. Tell me, do you know how cold interstellar space is? It doesn't matter how much ice is on your arctic planet, it's still going to be warmer than the vacuum of space. Can we get writers with working gray matter, please?
This is supposed to be about Star Trek not American politics. That was really cheap what you did and totally unnecessary and I'm not even an American. Stay clear of politics
Talk about adding too much cheese to the script. You're trying too hard to be funny. It's actually a little cringing. Please, for the love of God, dial it back a little. Or perhaps a lot, OH! and that voice you used during the sponsorship plug, please don't do that again for your own sake. I almost ended the stream then & there. Forgive my candour, but I just had to say it this time. Hopefully no hard feelings 😐
