(177)The D'Kora Class Marauder (Ferengi Alliance)

[@jamesalder8628]

I honestly forgot about this ship. It's great to hear a back story that fits so well with Ferengi culture. This makes me curious to see what other types of ships they have.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Well if I ever find more models, Ill certainly make a video on them :)

[@mikehall962]

I just cannot imagine a ship full of Ferengi being too effective. But sometimes collective greed can pull even disparate people together for a common profit.

[@RememberTheChase]

Yeah it's like how do terran empire ships function without everyone killing each other lol.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Just imagine a building full of Amazon Employees ;) :P

[@ericandes4288]

I mean you just described capitalism and why it works so well. It relies on natural greed to advance society vs other models which rely on doing it just for the good.

[@trayolphia5756]

As rom once put it, “we don’t want to stop the exploitation, we wanna become the exploiters” Serving under a daimonnwith a reputation and history of earning good profit for his ship, was a pathway towards earning profit to one day save enough to get their own ship…

[@trayolphia5756]

@@RememberTheChase to borrow an axiomatic teaching form a different franchise, which shares a contextual template to answer your question The SITH implemented the rule of two, one master, one apprentice, in order to avoid the “inevitable” fall into a master taking more than one apprentice, and the two overall weaker but collectively stronger apprentices working together to overthrow their master, only to turn on themselves…resulting in the remaining sith being weaker and less knowledgeable than the previous master The same applied on TERRAN EMPIRE vessels…crew moved up in rank via assassination and murder, and such actions were typically not acted against…as Chekhov pointed out in MIRROR, MIRROR, “no one will question the assassination of a captain who disobeyed orders from the empire” - this implies that much like a klingon ship, to attack and kill a superior was not a “frivolous” act, it was not done lightly, but when it did happen, their system was more a “why did you do this? Oh, well fair enough, good on you for improving the empire by trimming that particular person”…

[@thestanleys3657]

I quite like the D'Kora class it's like a moderately armed merchant vessel. Similar size to a galaxy class but half the crew and massive amount of storage space

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

VERY Ferengi :)

[@hexmachine8263]

When I seen the D'kora pop up in prodigy I was like yesss! I love the ferengi.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Great Episode! :)

[@carlmontney7916]

Excellent job on this video. Very well done. One thing is for sure, if it's a ferengi project you can guarantee that price is a main consideration. When you were talking about the extras they said they would include if somebody bought one. I started forming a mental picture of a ad on TV for this starship where they tell you all the great stuff and how many things are included. And then right at the end it says but wait! Buy now and get a second one at a discounted price.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Orrrrrr, "But wait, there's more!" :P

[@Tryambakam108]

Always loved this ship.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Very Interesting Design :)

[@simonbeech6073]

Best Video I've seen in ages. I loved the 'escape yacht / personal quarters' line. I've built two AMT model kits of these so far and have always wanted that bump on the ventral surface to be something cool. The Grand Negus Story angle is brilliant.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Wow, thanks! Im quite proud of this video myself :)

[@renanjardim86]

I'm curious to know how the shift in mindset brought about by the Grand Nagus Rom should influence future Ferengi fleet designs.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

That we may never know...

[@mikealpha2611]

Rom has been in Starfleet and probably took advantage of that to build contacts within the fleet and infrastructure to aquire new or refit Starfleet ships. In a post Dominion war galaxy there would be huge numbers of ships that would be relativly cheap in the aftermath of a war that scale. I believe that some Daimons would fly ships like the Jem'hadar attack ship or even battlecruiser that were surrender or salvagable as piratical craft with the reputation such a ship would bring you also have the ships of pretty much every other race both minor and major.

[@ROA_Offical]

OMG YESSS!A VIDEO OF A SPECIES THATS NOT KLINGON, ROMULAN OR HUMAN THANK YOU. IT HELPS US REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE MORE SPECIES WHO HAVE SHIPS APART FROM THE MAJOR POWER (Also sorry idk why i wrote all this in caps’

Nice video. I've always been curious about the Ferengi

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Thanks Ken :)

[@kyleking284]

YES!! I REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO!!!😁 Although it has a funny design after watching this I can appreciate the Ferengi mindset this was a very interesting video I would like to see more of the alien ships Thank You so much for this🌟🌟❤👍😁

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Im VERY glad you enjoyed it :)

[@troyspencer753]

Well done! I love the marauder class! It's a nice looking alien type of vessel. I also love your narrative! Thank you! 😊

[@travisfoster1071]

I can't remember what Rule of Aquisition it is, but it basically states that "More is better ".

[@danielseelye6005]

Per Memory Alpha: Rule of Acquisition #242 - "More is Good... All is Better"

[@DamienDrake2940]

Zek was the most manipulative of the Ferengi, but he used it to benefit his people. He managed to do things that improved and strengthened the Alliance that would have normally been seen as unprofitable even before meeting Quark's mother. Even Quark who resisted change admitted the Negus must put the general welfare over personal greed.

[@martinwestern3334]

I always loved the look of this ship and really enjoyed how surprisingly tough it was ❤

[@Eons381]

I always knew there was a reason I liked the D'kora class. didn't even know it had a single operators function for a vessel of its size but if I were a private buyer I'd definitely want that because then I wouldn't have to share my profits with anybody else. As always nice content and I like the D'kora class starship graphics you made the ship look nice (compared to how it looks almost Star trek games they make it look like just a lump of gold sometimes not even giving the ship it's true credit in the games). You've actually made it look way cooler thanks for that.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

I try to put all the information I can out there about a class, well the unobvious things... That One Person Function is shown in Prodigy :)

[@Eons381]

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios it still makes the D'kora class starship an awesome beast of a starship. And yes you do so much for the relevance of a particular starship class. Your hard work is what makes your channel so much fun to watch. I'm sometimes wondering if you've got a starfleet technical manual around while I watch some of these and not just any manual but a manual with a lot of classified secrets from all the various species 😁😁😁😁 yup your narrations are just that good. Keep up the awesome videos and thanks for all the star trek fun I wonder which quadrant we're going to next

[@StoneyBrownTV]

Thank you so much for this one! I loved this ship when it first appeared in TNG. I loved how this ship seemed to be close enough to the Enterprise in terms of a threat for the show. Very excellent story telling. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@canis2020]

Top down this almost looks like a Rebel Alliance symbol

[@the_kombinator]

I still have a model of this I bought and put together at 13. It's the only one that survived out of my fleet of a dozen or so.

[@MegaZeta]

_Star Trek Online_ interprets "missile" from "The Price" to mean the ship fires a rocket salvo, which is very goofy and doesn't even match the "missile" they show in "The Price". I love it

[@DanBen07]

Yeah I always thought that looked like a shuttle underneath the ship.

[@hectic0620]

I absolutely loved this video!

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@brentc2411]

I still think it would have been awesome, if instead of the Cardasians turning against the Dominion being the turning point of the Dominion War, it was a fleet of Ferangi lead by Grand Nagis Rom after convinced them that Dominion rule would be incredibly unprofitable using the occupation of DS9 as proof.

[@tnolddawg]

I love your videos, and this episode ranks among my favorites 😍 As a long time fan of this fantasy franchise, I appreciate the work you put forward for this backstory was great, as well as your description of this vessel's features and capabilities I WANT ONE ! 😃 GET ZEKK ON THE COMM & PLACE MY ORDER NOW !!! 😂

I didn't understand this comment yesterday for some reason. I just got it.

[@Washuluver87]

I got this ship in STO and it's one of my most fearsome ships.

[@sciguyjeff]

Loved this episode but one thing... don't worry if you don't have good graphics of the ship! You're great at what you do and personally I wouldn't care if all you had were paper cut-outs.

[@robertwhatley9861]

Loved it! Its a shame finding 3D models is slowing you down

I gotta be honest, I would've loved to have seen a few Marauders siding with the Federation during the Dominion War.

every time I've seen this ship from above & below I always think it look like a Cardassian ship design.

[@jonmcgee6987]

Interesting take on the ship. I did wonder how this ship design compared to others in size, speed and weaponry. It's not that bad a ship.

[@Unsound_advice]

Is this a Ferengi Cruise ship as well? Looks like many cabins with all those windows.

[@trayolphia5756]

Considering the economic policies and stylings of the ferengi…I’d be curious to know how much such a ship would cost to buy? As we know quarks brother sold weapons, earnt much profit, and even owned a moon… And a lottery on a planet stolen by Morn was 1000bricks of GPL… …it’s just a matter of figuring the scaling … for example would it be 100 bricks? 1,000 bricks? A million? Just like current human standards…going to another country and using their currency, go to an atm to try to withdraw cash, and you think “well, how much is this? Do I buy a coffee or a car with this?”

[@daviddyster4145]

I’m impressed. And I thought the Frarengi we’re not that bright to begin with.

Amazing video :D But I have to be honest, is that make sense this series to be called truth or myth? I Mean, it doesn't work like many truth or myth series out there Maybe a name that have something more to do with the process of *"Diving in the history of any given topic, using my own imagination to fill in the gaps"* Not to mention that a big part of this series is about starships Just a thought, i love your videos

I think this comment is quite LIMITED! I did cover top speeds and loadouts as it applied to Canon and Beta Canon, and Im not about to make up stats to make one disgruntled fan happy... You should consider that in future comments, take care!
