Is it Open All Hours?

you spin a wonderful tale ...and I thank you.

Excellent job on this! I really do dig this design and probably the most unique design I've seen. The backstory too is awesome and it's cool you got inspiration to do this.

For some reason this “science” vessel reminds me of a cold war russian fishing troller with three times with more antennae than a my favorite martian convention

The Cartman Class you say¿

It's a good looking ship, also I can see an Arkwright bearing the name "U.S.S. Phanes" or "U.S.S. Janus" given the class's designed purpose. Phanes is the greek god of life and creation, and Janus was his Roman counterpart.

Would be perfect without 4 nacelles

Arkwright class implies the existence of the Granville class. F-f-fetch a cloth, Granville

is odd....very odd looking but i like it

Kodos the Executioner.... "Don't blame me, I voted for Kang!" - Homer S.

The Arkwright Class is certainly unusual. You sir are an artist.

Mentioning Kodos/Anton Karidian from "Conscience of the King" already got me excited, I was just thinking of that last night and the ethical discussion in the episode between Spock and McCoy on whether what Kodos did was correct or not. The disease I was thinking of that could become a problem was the disease McCoy was suffering from in "For the World is Hollow and I have Touched the Sky," which was (prior to the episode) terminal until the Enterprise were able to get the asteroid-ship's medical data. The combination of the Constitution/Excelsior hybrid saucer, Excelsior nacelles, and Oberth-style "sled" makes the Arkwright look beautiful although I was impressed with the dual deflectors. It makes the class look like she could also serve as a viable planetary relocation vessel if needing to preserve a dying culture

I would like to suggest a NX01 Dreadnought, as if the YorkTown was never made, so Starfleet goes insane, builds NX Dreadnought so intense the Romulans decide to go into a 100years of silence in a single battle.

I keep thinking 'Doublestuf Excelsior.' :)

Go ugly early

Well, now we know where Marvel got the inspiration from for Thanos.😁

Nice work on this class. I have an idea for a Confederation starship class. This class is a Warstar ( looks like you put a Ambassador class secondary hull onto an Excelsior class warp engines and saucer section and the connecting dorsal of the Constitution Class, with thicker,longer,and wider warp pylons)

Okay, my taste are officially different. When I first saw this ship design, I thought, she's gorgeous. Maybe its my like of unusual designs, but I didn't find anything awful about this one. I also loved the backstory, it filled one of those unsung, and likely will never be seen in canon, functions for a starship and did it well. Awful or not, thank you for making this.

So this ship could serve as an high speed ark, right? 😅

What I like about this design is that the profile itself sort of fits the purpose behind it. It has 'floors' reminiscent of a 4-story apartment block or shared accommodation. Great work as always

So, it's a battleship, an Ikea and a colony ship all in one.

very nice video. like this ship. Ps I have made the video in my Community on my KZbin Cannel

I like the look and great lore.yes more

Pretty sure synthesizer/early replicator technology would have addressed food issues?

Maybe one of these is the USS Carol Marcus.

I'll have an Excelsior class with double meat.

I don't think this kitbash is bad, but then again, it's got two navigational deflectors, so that'll bias me... I think you did a great job with the narrative and the explanation for the kitbash! My only objection is that the phaser bank coverage on the ventral side seemed...lacking compared to the dorsal side. I get that the Oberth wasn't heavily armed, but I still feel like adding phaser turrets to the Oberth's mission module would've made sense. (Sorry if there were phaser banks down there, and I missed them!)

Very unusual indeed 😊

I like it. But I'm a sucker for anything that is similar to the Excelsior

Not the prettiest ship I've ever seen, but she's no Quasimodo either. Her design is well-shaped for its purpose, and I can't think of anything that could improve upon it 🙂

You don't hear warp 13 much. Bless the old scales

yeah.. kinda like this one too!

But how many Genesis torpedoes does it carry

I like the background and story you gave it. I do always like to see the "boring work" ships in Trek. The design...I guess...I mean it didn't have two Oberth scanning hulls, that's a thing I guess. :D

It kinda reminds me of the big miracle worker type Fed ships in STO

Have you seen the new Star Trek movie on Section 31 and what are your thoughts about the movie?

Sounds like Governor Kodos wanted to do a Thanos “Snap”

Tarsis 4 Is where Hoshi Sato was killed by that 50 50 directive. They did her dirty!

Very unusual design. When you look at it its like you are seeing double. Double forward torpedo bays, double impulse engines, double warp nacelles. But I can see why it would have been used in terraforming missions

Fantastic design

Such a unique ship design. Love the vid as always. Here’s a question though: with that much firepower on board could it have rivaled or exceeded combat roles that other heavy cruisers could fill? Kind of like the wolf in sheeps clothing situation. Yeah it’s a terraforming ship, but enough firepower to over come combat engagements. Would be interesting to see a combat variant of this ship!

Colony Ships are an interesting area of Starfleet rarely seen. As for bacteria and benign viruses being accidentally introduced and becoming a problem on such colonies I am sure this is the main reason the Bio-Filter on Transporters became so prevalent out of necessity.

Omg the conany support ship from that book needs it own video

This model has a lot going for it. Would love to see a refit or modern redesign for the 25th century. With the back story, this ship sounds like it could be a legacy workhorse. Maybe even giving part of its lineage to the Enterprise-J with its massive indoor nature preserves.

The Arkwright Class, for when a Ferengi-made Genesis Device is not laying around. 😛

Wow. That's a thing.

Great vid, but given they had food replicators on the kirk era enterprise, wouldn't that pre date this ships replicators. Given that it is built duing the time of excelsior class ship?

forsure is a strange class

The only issue I see is those "cannons" appear to be identical to the side pods from the USS Saratoga, and those are meant to be long range sensor packages. If they are phaser cannons they probably shouldn't look the same as miranda class long range sensor kit.

Yay!
