(287) The Reliant Class (Starfleet's Newest Workhorse!)

[@starbrand3726]

Beautiful redesign.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Absolutely!

[@jamesabernethy7896]

I've always liked ships like the Miranda and Nebula Classes. I always felt they were a great compliment to the Constitution and Galaxy. Their aesthetics showed how close they were related and yet they were different enough to feel like they fulfilled different roles. While the overall proportions haven't been altered that much when comparing the Constellation to the Sagan, I think this is more respectful to the original than a mere reskin. It updates the ship to fit in with the modern fleet and it feels like it belongs. The grey and white with larger red highlights look great.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Agreed, 100%

[@Jfleshman1209]

The Reliant, Miranda and Nebula classes are my hands down favorites.

“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” -common quote Its not shiny or glamorous but it works and keeps things running and the federation would fall apart without it.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Infrastructure, the unsung heroes!

[@andyfromtheuk]

Why can’t Paramount hire you to write future Star Trek!?? You have a great imagination and understanding of the Star Trek we love! Great video as always! 😊

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it 🙂

[@andyfromtheuk]

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios well it’s true!

[@axelhopfinger533]

Because that would be a sound executive decision and Paramount just doesn't do that anymore since common sense was deemed incompatible with their corporate culture.

[@Mrpurple75]

I liked the connie a lot vyt when I first saw miranda I was like now that’s a ship! The Reliant Class is a beauty

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Indeed it is!

[@DeaconBlu]

I’ve loved this general hullform since I first saw it. Fantastic redesign here. Great vid. Thanks!

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Thank you so much!

[@JC-qp6cu]

I love the newish design and it makes total sense the Miranda was a design both simple and Rugged and I took around a hundred years of hard use and a full scale interstellar war for starfleet to start to think it's time for successor taking what they know works and incorporating new technology is something that would make total sense for a mass produced starship of the 25th century love the lore you put into these designs.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Lol

[@dabluflcn]

I absolutely love the reliant update on the Miranda class. Such a perfect update to an existing workhorse ship.

[@ToallpointsWest]

As always, you provided yet another great telling of the class!

[@drthompson65]

Now this starship looks nice! I’d captain her!

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Ill put you in for a transfer! Lol

[@tehno_thefallen386]

Well done on updating the video, and as always fantastic work on the starship lore breakdown

[@Arms872]

New, old, updated… it’s all good stuff.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Thanks!

[@SilverAranda]

"Do not change, Improve" -The Miranda staff designers . Starfleet really wanted a ship to RELIE to do the work.

[@LearndingLife]

I want one 😮 It's like a flying druid "Specialize in anything? Yep! Doing -everything!- 😂 Great video, it's nice to see the updates along side the new ones to help flush out a universe we all know and love!

[@michaelcousins2526]

I love the new Reliant class, its a well imagined and revised update of the "gran'pappy" Miranda class! And giving it some teeth and adequate shielding at the same time. lol But the one that really caught my eye was the Excelsior Mk II! It always was a regal design but now it is stunning and well deserved place in the role of ship of the line, IMO could easily be put in the role of flagship too! We need a Excelsior MkII story now TAS! Please?

[@retluoc]

It's true... the Reliant was just a compact Constitution. Just like the Nebula was a compact Galaxy class. They were medium cruisers to be built faster than heavy cruiser. And yes, the Excelsior class was a workhouse for many decades. It was well ahead of its time.

[@dennisud]

Another great work from Thomas Marone!!! My only question is why name oit after a ship that was taken by force by the Augments and blown up by them in the end???

[@jaredcolon4535]

Wish we saw this in TNG/DS9 as a replacement for the Miranda then imagine these in the Dominion war

[@johntate1360]

I always loved this ship since I seen it on star trek online great ship with a great story.

[@po5100]

Love it!!!!

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Me too!

[@MarkTolmanMA]

How does the Reliant class compare in use to the California class?

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

The Reliant Class is more of a "jack of all trades," rather than a specific mission profile like the Cali Class has!

[@JRJohnson1701]

Great updates, but I'd like the rollbar to be wider and have the phaser lances / megaphasers the original had, for extra 'punch.'

[@HMSVanguard46]

Hurrah

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Lol :)

[@robertwood9532]

I love the Miranda class.

[@georgesulea]

Ah, a classic:)

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Indeed :)

[@TheScotsmen1]

I think the ways of resources to build a ship when you have the lunar class and a few other ships, but not that old Starfleet’s got really really quick wasting the resources

[@Mkav-c8n]

What a nice looking ship 😊 I would like to command one 😊

[@dominik8005]

wow very nice video

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Many many thanks :)

[@kineuhansen8629]

i rather like the reliant class its a cool design and i feel like it could replace the cali class it does fit in with the 25 century starfleet i hope we get more series set in that century and we could see the ship on screen would be so cool

[@defiantance]

5:51 I hate to argue, but who am I kidding. There are 12 MK-12 phaser strips. Six across the top, and six across the bottom. There are two little ones along side of the main deflector array.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

The stats in the video is correct, any mistakes or complaints plz direct to the 3d model maker!

[@defiantance]

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios LOL.

[@singletona082]

While the connie will always be myfavorite, and the Connie II has some amazingly clean lines. I would feel pride at being posted to oneof these ships. The workhorses. The needed auxilliary craft that make the galaxy go. While Kahn disgraced the ship, she had a wonderful crew, and her cptain fought there at the bitter end in the only way he could. The Reliant Class has the charm of the miranda, and a modularity of design that keeps her mission profile highly flexible be it a second contact craft, fire support, science and survey, engineering... and a whole lot more.

[@AndyMD1982]

I like to try some ships with the Star Trek Horizon mod for Stellaris. ;)

[@siriax1691]

I always felt a Miranda class needs deployable kamikazi shuttles which have overpowered impulse engines that ram enemy ships with shields that disrupt both hull metals and energy shields.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

That would be a complete waste of resources and there's not a Starfleet Technology that disrupts both Shields and Hull Metals anyway! It would be no different then if you said "Ive always thought a Nuclear Bomb should convent rock in to gold...

[@jameslewis2635]

It would be nice to see a Star Trek series based upon one of the smaller classes like this rather than yet another behemoth like the Enterprise D or Discovery.

[@The_Str4nger]

Lower Decks?

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

This! (Above)

[@apotheases]

What gets me is that there are hundreds of other ship yards across the Federation. Its like the writers forgot that and thought there was only one on Mars...

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

There aren't hundreds of other shipyards, but you're right there ARE other shipyards! However, Utopia Planitia is Starfleet's MAIN shipyard, as well as being the Starfleet shipyard closest to Romulus! So the writers didnt forget anything, rather, they simply knew Trek better than you do thanks to doing their research!

[@FosterTravis1071]

Like the ship class, hate the name. The Miranda 2 class would have been good.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

The name IS a little jarring, but YES love the class too!

[@mazzmo77]

inquiry class looms like a drain cover with nacelle.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

No it doesn't

[@ericgray4325]

nice. but i thought it was supposed to have a deep saucer like the stargazer, it was going to have actually big missile launchers. the offensive version would fire missiles were going to have some shields for protection to help get to the target. the defensive version was going to fire runabout size shield emitters at damaged ships

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Nope, not sure where you got that idea at all!

[@Syndr1]

Dude, Picard was barely Beta Cannon. Just saying. Cool video though

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

No, "Dude" Sorry but you are incorrect... Picard IS canon! AND it takes place in the Prime Timeline since the owners of Trek say it does! So I suggest you get over it before you embarrass yourself even more... Just saying. Cool try though 🙄 (THREAD CLOSED- No further Comments will appear to prevent OP from making more ridiculous incorrect statements)

[@thewilliam8342]

Too many ship types ….🤦🏻‍♂️

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Not at all! Think of how many car types their are in the world, then multiple it by the size of an entire Galaxy!
