The StarTrek ship reminds me of the USS ship used in StarTrek II " The Wrath of Khan ", and yet its unique in its conceptual design ! Looking forward to more of these fanfilms. They are truly a labor of love and the stories are original ! Thanks RU-vid 😊
Yeah that Oberth would have definitely tipped the scales of the battle! As soon as the Klingons saw that drop out of warp they knew they were outgunned.
Well, don't forget that Oberth class vessels have a pretty significant EWAR capability. Having adversaries, including one that can block your targeting and possibly detect you under cloak, is something to consider...
@@Potemkin1711 Oberths aren't unarmed, but they're small science vessels not designed for front line combat. It didn't take much for a single BoP to destroy the USS Grissom in ST:III.
6:24 On the one hand, “Damn, you just wasted 16 torpedoes just on a warning shot? What is wrong with you?! Conserve your ammo!” On the other hand, “Damn, you can afford to waste 16 torpedoes just on a warning shot? How packed to the brim are you with those damn things?!”
I didn't believe that Klingons just sit there while Federation ship fires volley of proton torpedoes at them. They would have destroyed that ship without moments hesitation.
I always wondered why, in the first episode of DS9, they fired off all six photon torpedoes... rather than fire off a phaser burst as a warning shot. I guess the notion was to imply that they had enough torpedoes to 'waste' six as a warning salvo. In terms of this video... if the rest of the fleet hadn't arrived... how many torpedoes you have left won't matter after the Klingons blast you to dust.
@@paulhunter6742 yeah sixteen torpedoes would seem to me as a Klingon Task Force Commander to have been a miraculous case of targeting computer misses thanks to interference from whatever the cosmic disturbance was. That many torps would seem to have been an effort to disable or destroy as many of the four as possible in a first strike to even the odds.... shit would've hit the fan and Klingon torpedos would've been inbound by the time the other five ships were arriving....
The second chapter is already on-line. The third chapter is already in post. And we finished shooting the fourth chapter this past weekend. More to come!
Outstanding video. It is amazing how much "story line" can be put into a limited amount of time. I definitely enjoyed your presentation. Please keep them coming.
I thought I was going crazy or suffered a temporal anomaly, because I was absolutely sure I left a comment on this video already. It bothered me so much, I had to check my comment history. Sure enough..."I'd give this a solid 4 out of 5 lights. But I have a screw loose, so it might be 5 out of 5. Only a level 1 diagnostic can tell for sure." Computer, run a level 1 diagnostic on the level 1 diagnostic.
Very nicely done indeed, the sets were great to look at and scenes well acted out with a good story. I am looking forward to seeing more episodes in the future and the U.S.S. Caliborn and the crew.
This is a starship buildt for battle, not the diplomatic and science research cruises of the Star Trek: TNG stories. I also liked how first officer informed her Captain he has responsibly to think about how his actions affect entire crew. Not just himself alone.
A Starfleet officer complaining that it's "not what she signed up for". I'm with the Captain on this one. She doesn't like it? The airlock is that way. By the way, that Oberth class making a heroic entrance was awesome! :)
A different story line, but a little bit of spice is a nice touch. Keep up the great work. Hopefully as time goes on the actors will become comfortable in their rolls and be more natural. I am looking forward to seeing more productions and how they improve their skills.
I really liked this one. Thank you. Some wonderful character conflict and, as a viewer, I'm left wondering where this ship and crew will end up. Great job. :)
Neat video. I've understood that the Federation moved towards more military type ships eventually. Though I think that was after the Borg encounter. Though it's possible ... and some non-canonical sources suggest that they might have pure warships around earlier.
I know they call her a Destroyer in official literature, but given her crew compliment, armament, and size, she'd fit better between the _Miranda_ (a Light Cruiser of this era), and the _Constitution Refit_ (a Heavy Cruiser of this era). That would make this a true Medium Cruiser. ..one of these days, I really ought to make my own analysis video of this stuff..
Yeah but he was white on the left side so he probably wasn’t drafted in the war effort. Either that or he was on vacation off world during the war.. 😉 Fan fictions aren’t exactly canon..
Wow, Great job guys. Better then most of the stuff produced now. May i make a suggestion? Your audio aint great, but you know that. My suggestion is to add some back ground noise to cover the flaws. Doesnt have to be loud. In fact the lower the better. Just a hum, a few computer sounds and some com chatter. Again not crapping on your work, i think its great, but tweaking the audio a bit can be done in post and is not expensive, just time consuming. Youd be amazed at the difference a good audio track can do. Again, Im not talking about music, just back ground sounds. Outside of that, Great job.
@@macekreislahomes1690 i think the issue is to have the back ground sounds played in the studio itself as you record the dialogue. On a sec hearing, the sounds you have dont match the echo and reverb of the set. If you play them on the set, they should match better. Adding reberbs and echo is much easier then getting rid of them, so dont get rid of them. Just add the sounds on the set. I hope that helps and really my hats off to you and your production team
@@macekreislahomes1690 with respect... Its the bass and volume. If you kill everything from 150 Hz down it should sound better. That where your echos are happening. Man I wish you guys were in Orlando. Id be glad to help you out.

Fun film. I had never seen an Abbe Class PT Destroyer in action before. If you have time, can you describe why you choose that specific class for the hero ship in this series?
Yea! When we had the ship options before us, I went with the Abbe class because of how different it looked compared to the other ships in our fan film “fleet”. We wanted smaller than Constitution class, but something different from the much beloved Miranda class, and certainly a design that stands out in a line up. Considering the narrative direction we’re going for, the armaments with the Destroyer fit as well, so Abbe it was for the Caliborn! Thank you for the Question! Feel free to hit us up with more!
The Abbe-class first appeared years ago in the Project: Potemkin episode, "The Chair": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1zyAJk2vE9U.html
