(242) The Defiant Class (A Little Federation Warship)

[@FosterTravis1071]

An overpowered, nearly ready to shake itself apart. Yet.... Somehow the ship was whipped into shape, and became one of the biggest pieces of badassery that ever graced the Federation.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Exactly 😃

[@LearndingLife]

Yet one more reason that Miles O'Brien is the "most important man in Starfleet."

She probably would’ve been finished sooner had they utilized O’Brien, Laforge or Scotty. You can’t get anything done without the miracle workers.

[@TheDefiantPirate]

​@@kensmith2285 it's a special breed of Engineer that earns the title Miracle Worker but they are a cut above they can see and understand the Ghost in the shell ;)

[@blockmasterscott]

Your video title reminded me of Worf. “LITTLE?????” 😂😂😂

Going to rewatch First Contact now, thanks.

[@dougsmith6262]

The second he said "little", I could hear Worf. 😆

[@LearndingLife]

The class that shows humans can still wake up and choose violence, we choose not to. I think it's why it's one if my favorite ships outside the D, a powerful reminder that the shield barerer often carries a nasty sword. Tangent, the whole series is an amazing show on the nature of what it is to be human when the world is inhumane and it's easily become one of my favorites, and all started out with a love of a little ship that could. Great video!!

[@markeh1971]

The requirement for the ship was anti Borg. But this lends itself to most other fighting requirements. This the ship was just purely function. They were expected to be built en mass to fight the Borg being cheaper in terms of production and all importantly crew. They were very powerful and packed the punch of a far larger ship. As with any fleet you need some of these but not in vas5 numbers, until it’s war time! Take care all M.

[@kevinrexsavage8108]

Absolutely fitting. Number #2 of my favorite ships of all. "It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the DOG!" This ship has proven this over and over again. Well done and thank you for sharing this.

[@Amathaeon]

Tough little ship. you know i really enjoy these videos. they make my day when I'm having a rough day. thank you so much for these. keep it up.

[@PrussianGamer-ki1on]

One of my most favourite star trek ship designs next to the Connie refit!! When I first saw her on the episode "The Search " I instantly fell in love with it.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

She's a GREAT design 😁

[@Willpower-74205]

One of my favorite scenes featuring the Defiant was in "The Die is Cast" when it was blowing away those Dominion attack ships while rescuing Odo and Garak. No wonder it was nicknamed "Sisko's Fist." 🖖😎👍

Every KZbinr eventually hits the point they think their old videos are unwatchable. Their audience usually disagrees, but are happy to have the new/revised content anyways 😊

[@ericmadsen7470]

Good morning my goog tri-nary. The U.S.S. Defiant is a tough little ship and can hold its own against just about anything. That was proven during the Dominion war and now has it's proper place at the Fleet museum and Star fleet history.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Little?! 😝

[@jimb8601]

“Vulcan has no moon.” 😀 I always imagine the development of a kind of super carrier that could dock and warp a squadron of Defiant class ships to battlefronts. They could also rearm and repair the smaller vessels and get them back into the fight quicker.

[@ZeroDarkness-]

Or just enlarge Defiant size into Mobile Carrier Outpost Starship with code NX-85808 USS Typhon to carrying Valkyries fighter And let Worf commanded it like in ST: Invasion

[@shizzymac6622]

Definitely my favorite starship of all time love the video and the lore

Great job as usual. The render is awesome as well as the back story. I've always loved the Defiant when she first appeared in the two parter "The Search".

Great video, its ironic that a vessel that was supposed to be easy to construct we saw so few of them. Also love the theme music of the video really fits the Defiant class.

[@DaiAtlus79]

Love this, great job. im actually going at an old AMT Ertl model kit of one again (had the OG one with premixed paints in the late 90s), and it's one of my favorite ships (she was a gift from a cousin of mine who knew of my fondness for DS9 and that ship). She's a nice general purpose warship, and contrary to some fans believing crap they had a nice few of them being made at UP if they had cadets crewing one ffs lol.

[@LeeBrown-zi4bh]

Worf loved it. Good enough for me.

[@lwilliams5732]

Loved the Defiant in Deep Space 9. Even though the United Federation of Plants had a treaty with The Romulans, not to produce any cloaked ships. I wouldn't have agreed to it and developed our own class of Star Fleet's cloaked ships. Thanks for the video.

I flew this ship for MONTHS in Star Trek Online, but it was erased in a patch bug. The USS BELLEAU WOOD NCC-611917 was manned by a crew sporting the colors of the Starfleet MARINE CORPS. I would finish a patrol in her and declare, "Sector Marine Corps entirely."

Tough as nails. Showers the enemy with hails. Bad to the bone. A ship of its size and power, certainly king of the throne.

[@thomaslytle4823]

Every star base having two defiant class starships stationed with them on a permanent basis with permanent birthings for six more, making every star base a potential war hub if and when necessary, in addition every star base to have two intrepid class starships, with permanent birthings for two more, again making every star base a permanent mobile hub not only for defense but for exploration. Defiant & intrepid a core force of Starfleet and the federation.

When would the Defiant Class be considered obsolete? We know that Starfleet designed and used ships for a long time, but time does march on. So is the Defiant Class still a "Tough little ship" by the timeline at the end of Picard Season 3?

[@g.herbert3810]

Don't forget 'The Sisko!' He brought it back from Federation's mothballs, it was his Defiant Fist against the Borg. Sisko Just needed the clout of command to get Starfleet's Act together.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

So, like the video said? Lol 🤣🤣🤣

[@briandillingham890]

I consider this class the millennium falcon of the Star Trek universe.

[@TheAsvarduilProject]

You're giving your channel a Starfleet makeover, I see! Looking forward to it! Video comments: I feel like, in universe, a VERY pissed Sisko started the project by looking at the NX-01, and said, "When fighting the Borg, we can't rely on our shields. So, let's go back to the beginning, to ships that survived without shields. We build from there." He distilled the standard Starfleet template to something purely tactical, all the better to punch the Borg in their cyborg faces and make them wet their circuits, and made it small and hard to hit, as well as well-armored and VERY well armed. He almost called it the "USS Ben Sisko's MFing Pimp Hand," with which Starfleet agreed, but had to reject due to the name being too long. Legend has it that Commander Shelby giggled a little, and pitied the poor Cube that was on the wrong end of this class.

[@JohnDoeXYZ]

Ah, Starfleet's first pure warship, the Defiant Class. Perhaps, at some future time, you would consider covering Starfleet's other first pure warship, the Ares Class.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

The Ares is nothing but a fan fiction design, therefore it is not Starfleet's first anything... And given the issues surrounding Peters and what he did to the Trek Community, the Ares has no place in Trek at all!

[@JohnDoeXYZ]

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios Yeah, but it's cooler than most of the ships you profile. Especially the Starfleet Battles stuff.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

No it's not, its a boring, obvious fan design that again has no place in Trek thanks to the debacle it's "owner" caused... So it will never be profiled here, especially given the majority of fandom feel the same way I do!

[@traviswebb5094]

❤ Have you ever done a video on the defense ships in Best of Both worlds? You know the ones the Borg blew up interning the Sol System? I was always curious as to whether or not the were early runabouts.

[@TheTribalgame]

That's great. I wish you would've kept the originals up until the replacements were ready though.

Gteat video. I've heard stories about the forward section with the navigational deflector could be used at a weapon under extreme circumstances. Any truth to that?

[@coateskylie]

Don't put anything from Star Trek Picard in your videos Literally, Star Trek discovery and Picard are horrible Star Trek and should never be mentioned at all with old track

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Star Trek Picard and Discovery ARE canon, and as such will continue to be put in these videos. Literally, how you personally feel about these shows is meaningless. My advice, build a bridge and get over it.

[@generaljimmies3429]

The Defiant Class, the Little Mac(Punch Out Series) of starships. She was punching WAY above her weight.

[@pierce9128]

Didn't the design of an anti Borg ship come down to the defiant against the nova

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

No, it didn't!

[@UserAJO1]

I think I liked the original video on the Defiant better, it had more detail and a better background song perhaps you should remake this again changing the music to something less heavy metal and re-adding the technical and historical knowledge you had in the previous video as well as the new information put forth in this video, or better yet make a 2 part video using the information detail from both this and the old video with the first part starting at the same place as this video but ending with the part about the ship going into mothballs but not for long as the cliffhanger into part 2 which starts off about the dominion the work done on fixing the ships technical issues and going on with the role it played during the dominion war end with its successor being put in the fleet museum maybe extending on what notions in starship designs would result from it creation, just food for thought

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Well you can't please everyone... In fact, those (like yourself) with a thoughtful response about their dislikes always fascinate me. Everyone else loves the new video, with several comments about the great music choice. Also, the information in this video is more extensive than in the original, cutting out the rambling rather than the info! So in this case, I think it's simply your own personal preference rather than an issue with the video itself. And as such, this will be the video going forward... For the next couple of years at least, there will be no new video made on this class.

[@UserAJO1]

@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics OK I'm just saying that if you approach the video and those to come like a story you will find that what you call rambling can make for a better narrative, also if you remake the video on the constitution class prime timeline or kelvin timeline then you may want to get a consensus on what people will want before you make it and I think what you call rambling is just depth and in Star Trek in general Depth is important since it tends to make the show more watchable especially if it creates a more complex and creative story

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Again, that's all your personal preference, rather than an actual problem with the video or constructive criticism. You want a story, whereas, the majority on this channel want a documentary... That's the difference, and this channel will continue to operate as normal, updating the videos as I see fit... Thanks again, take care!

With respect. Your script is good But what I hear a lot it . The X- class several times in a couple of sentences. Now we know what ship your on about but . That's all I hear and can't focus on your script

And with respect back... That sounds more like a "you" problem rather than a script problem... You see, out of over 100000 comments, only you have made this complaint... Most people who watch documentaries know that this is a standard technique when it comes to scripting for that genre! Hope you can work out your issue, and continue to enjoy the channel, take care!

[@randybentley2633]

Though capable of vast amounts of destructive potential, the Defiant class's developmental shutdown robbed Starfleet of the greater potential of this class in larger numbers. Imagine a squadron, not too different from what air forces of today organize their fighters into, of Defiants swarming a target with coordinated phaser cannon and torpedo runs. Even larger numbers would allow for a whole wing to waylay even larger targets.
