My head canon is that the Andorians took the human phase cannon design and combined the tech with their own (probably Nadion based) particle weapon design. Making a surprise improvement in power and versatility which quickly becomes the main weaponry of Andorian ships, before Starfleet adopts the Phaser design for their own ships.

One of my favorite part about DS9 is that for once we see why the klingons are a fiersome speices to have in a conflict. while the moral of everyone is downing with the constant updating of the casualty list, you can see the klingon's moral going up as time goes. you see them coming back from battle chanting and cheering everyone happy that it was a blood bath with tons of great warriors entering sto-vo-kor.

DS 9 did a great job at fleshing out the various different species and cultures of Trek, especially the Ferengi.

When you got to the Klingon section, I’m surprised you missed the obvious speciality of the species. From all that was mentioned about how they acquire their technology, the Klingons seem to be specialists in reverse engineering. Even when encountering tech far more advance then their own, the Klingons seem to easily be able to reverse engineer, understand, and recreate the technology whether it be their warp drives to Romulan cloaking technology and etc. Perhaps I’m looking too deeply into it but goes to show how the Klingons are unique in terms of innovation.

I'd say the Klingons are highly adaptable to hardships; if that hardship happens to occur through battle, all the better. They can repurpose and adapt recovered tech. While humans are equally adaptable but more in line with problem solving and developing or modifying existing tech to get them out of a bind.

I think that is one of Klingons greatest strengths: tenacity and wisdom. They can literally be enslaved by a technologically more advanced species and in rebelling not only fling them off their planet and chase them to the stars but also make it as they are never heard from again in that sector of space. Kingpins are hardy and they take a beating and an old Klingon is often a wise Klingon because they can take the lumps and keep going. And theirs is a history of such individuals thousands of years old. They are unafraid to try and seize opportunities and that gives them an edge over more cautious (Vulcan) or fragile (humans) species .

A part two would be great! Thank you so much, I always enjoy your videos!

If I had to find a specific strength for Klingons, it would be that they're masters at not only reverse-engineering captured technologies, but improving upon them. They make better cloaks than Romulans; their ships, while ultimately based on stolen Hur'q technology, are tougher than anyone else's; their weapons are second to none. Their technology is designed to be usable with minimal training (well, except their melee weapons - bat'leths and mek'leths are almost as dangerous to the wielder as the opponent), and capable of standing up to extremely rough handling.

I think for the benefit of the community it would be awesome to have a video that focuses on what the Federation Founding Races brought to the organization. You managed to focus on many of the UFP races we see in the Generation Era, but not so much the TOS/ENT era. I almost think species like the Trill and Betazoids may have been better featured in Part 2 with the "Terrans", Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites the focus of the first part. Meh, perhaps it would be an interesting idea to have a small video series that explains the hallmarks of what each Federation race brought to the table.

Rick, there's only one thing missing from your hypothetical ship idea: an easily-used-and-maintained-by-anyone thalaron-based ultra-God-mode plasma cannon that vaporizes entire planets with one shot. Sort of a more efficient but more powerful version of the weapon from ST Nemesis. EDIT-- Forgot to mention that it's made by the Klingons. : )

Yes, do more videos along this line. I thought the fact you brought out about the Klingon tacticians was most insightful! So yes, do as many as you can think of, like the Ferengi most likely could optimize many aspects of any business, i.e. they would make for great accountants, and possibly great Project Managers.

I'd love to hear more about this.

The various species of the Delta Quadrant alone would fill up a video or two. Like the Hirogen's hunting tactics, the Kobali's ability to effectively raise the dead, the Vidiian's advanced (if sus) medical and genetic technologies, even Krenim's grasp of temporal mechanics and the Voth's transwarp capabilities are worth mentioning.

This was really interesting! I'd love to see you tackle the Borg and the Dominion.

so this video did the alpha and beta quadrants. Part two should be about the Delta and Gamma quadrants. For example one very good species to do would be the Vidiians and they're extremely superior medical technology, which can be used both as a weapon and as a sophisticated tool for medical treatment. Another one would be the Voth, with their distaste for endotherm's and they're highly sophisticated personal cell technology which allowed them to observe Voyager at least for a while without being detected. The Vodwar might be another good delta species to cover.

They have to find suitable markets and make sales with the people of those markets. Also supposedly holodeck technology came from them in some roundabout way? Ditto synthahol? But beyond greedy money grubbers ferrangi are honestly great for diplomacy and inter species trade. Plus their bilogy is diffrent enough from galactic norms that empsths and telepaths typically find it hard to rad them.

Thanks

I would like to see more of this. Lot of other people have given their lists of races and their things you should cover next; but I'd like to add to the Klingons. I think you missed a thing that they are strangely good at, that has been shown a few times in the shows and in the apocrypha and that's that they are weirdly quite adept at genetic technology; creating a clone of Kahless, and hiding the Suliban intel in that dude's DNA, to cite a couple.

Andorians, Ferangi would be cool for part 2

Add to the super ship, Borg transwarp coils, Hirogen sensors and Romulan / Reman cloaking device and multi-phasic shields.

UFP are the Borg, just nice about it.

Idea for a new buddy comedy: A Tholian and Breen get an apartment together...

Ferengi might have some interesting warp abilities. They have an extremely low species designation, meaning they encountered them very very early. Now even if they discovered a wormhole, it still means they were out there exploring.

I always thought when the Romulans, Klingons and Federation joined forces against the Dominion it was great storytelling and shows how much can be accomplished when cultures put aside their differences and work towards a common beneficial goal.

Honestly the klingons would likely produce very good mercenaries, it'd be one of the few ways klingons could have 'honorable' combat in times of peace. I.e. if there aren't any wars at the time klingon officers could be rented out by the KDF to keep their talents sharp.

Makes sense; TOS was made during the Cold War, and the Klingons fit the common perception of the Soviets (or at least the one the western governments wanted people to have) I.E. Dangerous barbarians that could strike at any moment.

In the words of Gul Dukat to the Dominion, "I've learned never to underestimate the Federation's technical skill."

The stand-out oversight in this video was the Ferengi, given how they were also introduced in TNG but got their biggest cultural exploration in DS9 and they're a more widespread species than the Bajorans and they're a power in their own right they could have been included quite easily.
