There needs to be a show about the "average joe" style Starfleet vessels like the Nova class and the missions they get sent on. I can imagine a Star Trek: Nova show: Episode 1: "The Anomaly" The Nova is sent on a mission to collect data on a strange spacial anomaly and return it to Starfleet. When arriving there, they collect data which they then return to Starfleet. Starfleet says thanks. Episode 2: "Heal Thyself" The Nova is sent to deliver a vaccine to a plague stricken world. They deliver the vaccine and the people there start to get better. Episode 3: "The Passenger" The Nova is visited by counsellor Troi who is to be transported to Starbase 14. Troi discovers that everyone seems in pretty good mental shape and seems fairly happy. Episode 4: "Please Q Here" Q visits the USS Nova. He does not announce his presence. He just hangs about for a bit then leaves without causing a fuss. No one notices. Episode 5: "New Friends" The Nova escorts an ambassador from a newly discovered alien race. They seem pretty nice but have slightly bumpy foreheads. Episode 6: "Watch Duty" The Nova is assigned patrol duties along the Romulan neutral zone. They don't find any infractions. Epsode 7: "Hell day part 1" Due to a malfunction the Nova replicators are unable to produce pasta dishes. Episode 8: "Hell day part 2" The replicator system is rebooted and pasta dishes reappear on the replicators. Episode 9: "The Aurora" Another spacial anomaly but this time it's multi-coloured.

I liked that Episode. It was cool to watch how Janeway began to panic (she acted more aggressive, but thats how people hide their panic) at the sight of a Starfleet captain who crossed a moral line in order to get home quicker. It seemed that she was having a battle in her own mind of whether or not she could be pushed to cross the same line, and how very angry she was with Captain Ransom for doing what he did. It was also great to see how easily she forgave Ransom after she saw him trying to do the right thing in the end. I would rank "Equinox" high on my list of top Voyager Episodes.

pepperVenge I totally agree with you. This is high on my list of favorite Star Trek episodes. The moral line that shines so brightly when you are clean and rested and fed gets dimmer and dimmer the worse your situation becomes. I always loved this episode understood that that was true but still drew the line against murder and was not afraid to call Ransom out. But it was also in many ways the end of Janeway’s Captain Ahab era. After this episode she became much less dogmatic in her quest to get home at any cost.

While not exactly applicable I think that having the equinox as a support craft could’ve been used in some of the episodes and roles that the delta flyer did, insofar as “smaller vessel that can go on external missions from voyager for a purpose” is the role of the delta flyer, then again maybe they (diegetically, I recognize the out of universe reasons) could’ve just fixed up their aeroshuttle instead of making the delta flyer, or even modified said aeroshuttle to make the delta flyer and called that the delta flyer. Though I do think that the fact that the equinox is so much slower than voyager is a big problem that could hamper their journey, though they could probably (mostly) overcome that problem with their federation ingenuity. Directly docking their vessels together or at least connecting their warp bubbles, maybe? Something I’ve noticed is that starfleet vessels don’t really seem to be designed with fleet actions in mind. They can do fleet actions, but from a ground up perspective they seem to be designed first and foremost for solitary mission profiles with the fleets, squads, wings and whatever else being an afterthought.

Equinox was one of those few Voyager episodes I really enjoyed. It kind of felt like Voy's (to use a term I recently heard coined) mirror universe episode, showing us what the crew could've been reduced to if they were more willing to cross lines to survive.
I love the Nova class. Such a compact, nifty ship.

I love this little class of ship, especially in refit guise of the Rhode Island. Where the Orberth was basically a three wheeled horse drawn buggy, this at least had a fourth wheel and an engine lol. I always though in my mind this was a very durable tough little ship designed to survive in the less peaceful era of DS9/VOY. Great rundown on the class as usual, not as brutal towards it like you can be in other videos. Kind of glad the Nova managed to remain on the Master's good side ;-)
Equinox is probably one of my favorite Star Trek ships. (The nova class I suppose)

Slightly off topic, but Ransom was an idiot to get in that situation to begin with, he (and his crew) had other options when they first got stuck in the Delta Quadrant. What would you do if you were Captain Ransom when the Equinox first got sucked through by the Array? Discuss in this thread, and may I suggest a video on this topic, but anyway, on with my rant. He decided to pick a unnecessary fight with an alien amarda with his itty bitty little science vessel right off the bat, wiping out half his crew and trashing his ship, just to take a slight shortcut on a journey of more than a century (the Equinox having a slower speed than Voyager's 70 year estimate), relying on the authority of the Federation they had never heard of to intimidate them. He instead should have nicely asked for the borders of their territory so as to not violate it and requested any information they were willing to share regarding surrounding species. Most paranoid races are willing to bad mouth their neighbors, which gives you a start. Add a cloak to your ship, Starfleet may not use them because of treaty, but they would know how they work and could build a passable one. Also apparently the design schematic and replicator patterns are in the computer, to be unlocked in flight, by Fleet wide order if the Romulan war ever turned hot. A little bit of hacking and their ship is invisible. After all, no one is going to report you for any treaty violations. And if you want to violate Federation regulations and delete your EMH's ethical subroutines, get it to genetically upgrade your crew like Dr Julian Bashir was as a child - Starfleet tech can alter your genes as an adult, and even as a hyper evolved amphibian. What's the smartest thing to do however is keep a low profile and hang around the Array, to see who else comes through, maybe another Federation ship, maybe someone with information about regions on the way back, or who can be allies, so you form your own Federation in the Delta quadrant. And you keep studying the array to see if you can use it to get back, until some pompous goit blows it up, then you convoy with her ship back home. And just maybe you decide to stay on the planet of the 37's, to help them succeed as an interstellar civilisation, because once the neighborhood knows they're there, they are going to be invaded by not nice locals like Kazons or Vidiians. Remember the Equinox crew is all human (although that might just be the survivors by the time they encounter Voyager. I have a theory that subconsciously humans keep aliens in their crews to make the humans behave morally) Full disclaimer: I have daydreamed about what I would do after watching the Equinox episodes and then the 37's episode (I know the order, but still). Give them Federation technology, culture and history and start a Federation there (or a more suitable nearby planet that doesn't have transporter interference from surface conditions and keep this as a safe bolthole), once they have the ability to defend themselves and interstellar travel with a fleet. It would be an interesting alternative timeline if the Equinox found that planet, maybe even by themselves, limping after Voyager's warp trail after having to change course, or because they heard rumors of another Federation ship. Or they found the pickup truck first. They hide their ship in a cavern of one of the cities and start upgrading the technology of the human civilization while remaining hidden from the other local races. And once again, let the EMH make a few improvements to the genome of the human colony, not augments, but more like Julian Bashir with a strength and resilience boost as well as intelligence and coordination that he had. Less severe mods with less chance of screwing up, but an EMH doesn't make human error mistakes, and it's not unfair if everyone gets it. If they wanted to be nasty, they could sucker Kazon ships by surrendering in their own ships (maybe not the Equinox if somebody had told them about transporters) and then beaming the crew off as soon as brought inside their shields (and purging the buffers). Then upgrade the captured Klingon …sorry, Kazon ships with Federation tech and start wandering the neighborhood in disguise, building up quite a armada for the local humans. The local species don't have transporters or replicators (don't tell them about replicator technology when you first offer to trade with…oops 'JANEWAY' !!) which gives them a big advantage. While the Equinox doesn't have a holodeck fitted (or did it just get destroyed? A holodeck is very useful for a science vessel to run experiments and simulations with, and to create specialist labs on the fly, maybe it was to be installed later, on Tuesday) does it have the schematics in its database? So with that tech the civilization can progress fast and with holodecks so can training. Pretty soon on their undesirable planet that no one can scan the surface of they have a thriving civilization that is more advanced than any local power. And then they start expanding carefully and with stealthily reconning first with cloaked (and maybe retrofitted local) ships. And with the advantage that they have all of Federation history in their database so many bugs and issues have been already worked out with ready made solutions from history. And then when they encounter Vidiians they steal their medical tech and make sure (ahem) that the rest of the Vidiians don't know about them (keep them prisoner and let them die of natural causes - the phage, while getting information and advanced medical skills training from them, what did you think I meant?). They then make alliances with the local not evil races and instead of being a lonely ship struggling across a dangerous galaxy, they are the progenitors of a new beacon of light in the Delta quadrant, a beacon that is already wise in the ways of interspecies diplomacy and that also knows to hide when it encounters transwarp signatures or sees geometric ships (having disguised Kazon ships helps, the Borg consider them unworthy, apparently they think they're a cheap Klingon knock off as well). And maybe a beacon of light that is a bit less naive and more pragmatic (and ruthless, after all, Ransom's influence) that the Federation and that uses, reverse engineers and retrofits any advanced alien tech they happen to acquire. So how would you play it if you were suddenly dropped in the Delta quadrant with a Nova class science vessel ? So let this be a lesson for everyone even if you're with the biggest kid back home. If you get kidnapped and dumped in a lawless region on another continent, don't pick a fight with the local gang or warlord if you are by yourself.

Well it seemed odd to me that they had those neural gel packs, which look a lot like ice packs at room temperature and in a little IV bag, and no means to replace them. They had to basically replace the brain and nervous system of the whole ship when they started breaking down. Waiting around the array would’ve been helpful. If they could’ve found a way to be them even part of the way home it would’ve shaved years off the trip. Besides, leaving one of those tri-cobalt warheads boobytrapped with some kind of transport inhibitor and sensory package would’ve taken the array and any Kazon scavengers *out* after you’d gotten Voyage home using the array.

Yeah, that whole genre is a treasure trove of synthy goodness.
Great docco! And kudos to Rick and others for a timeless design.
Another great video!
Thank you so much for including the details of the music you use. I've been wondering what Hot Ice was for a long time
Love your channel!
Love the humour in these videos.
This was my 3rd ship in Star Trek online because it was pretty neat
Love this channel.
You're my favorite star trek channel
The design concept that ended up being Nova-class was so much better design than the Defiant. Unlike the Defiant, it actually looks like a starfleet ship design. Great video as usual.
Loved your video
I like this guy, but you already knew that
I love the humour in these videos.
I think there models of all these ships in star trek online. I love this look i never really got the circle shape.
Your star trek videos are genius! Keep up the great work.

Thanks. I appreciate it.
Everybody: I got steel beams Star Trek: I got a rock
One other thing about the Refit Nova Captained by Harry Kim. It was now capable of long term deep space missions, as Naomi's kid asked him where he has been during a Voyager reunion party, and he tells her he has been away for 4 years.
Smashed that like button for that closing scene ahahha
Ok, great vid, I knew all of that info except for the appearance on ST: Enterprise, holy cow. It is one of my top favorite class of Federation ships due to it being versatile.
“VOY” is written on the side of many a VHS box, along with TOS, TNG, DS9, and ENT... but of course that is for visual simplicity, not some hip linguistic abbreviation fetish. You don’t even save a syllable calling Deep Space Nine “DS9”, and “Next Gen” is better than saying “TNG.” Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to recall that in the index-less DS9 manual they finally clarified that the bridge was situated in the nose, above the deflector. That would make the otherwise correctly labeled “bridge module” something different on the Defiant class ships. I may be remembering it all backwards, and the manual showed a detachable nose with a warhead...and no bridge. Anyway, thanks for another great video!
Well that "Infinity Stone" comes standard, if only they could have used it. Lol

It's the Space Stone as well. They could have used it to teleport out of the Delta Quadrant.
Flew this ship for a long time back when playing Star Trek Online. One of my favourites :)
Great job!
Best Trek videos on the tube.
I read somewhere Those circle things down the spine are like heat storage units to be used when the ship is cloaked so as not to give away their general position.
love your channel! there used to me more videos, not sure wheat happened. can you re-upload them?? specifically the ones about TMP where you made the "Clearly" joke.
I like how the ship seems to “fall” and twirl irregularly even though it’s in outer space.

Lol! Star trek ships always seem to be on the same "plane" even when approaching other ships they always come in on exactly the same Z level, pitch and angle regardless of their position in space. You never see an "upside down" decloaking Romulan ship

True, in order to pitch and yaw in space you use vector'd thrust. Apollo 13 proved that actual space ships keep going in one direction no matter what direction the "bow" of the ship happens to be pointed in, unless some greater thrust is opposingly applied. An uncontrolled ship would just fall into a planets gravity in one direction and not start to pitch or roll untilp it reaches the planets atmosphere.
My favorite Star Trek ship. Bring back good Star Trek!
LOVE THIS!!!
Honestly dude your jokes and comical side references are soooo bad but i bloody love that they are!! I was in stitches watching some of this!
You got a cute voice boyo and funny witty delivery, good humor that isn't corny. I really like what you're doing here kiddo.
