(99)The Loknar Class

[@grimreaper6557]

Andorians are our true first friends they actually did more to help Earth then did Valcans did so giving the Andorians there own ship i feel is only just and honorable because with out them warp 5 and winning the first klingon war and the romulan war would not have been possible . =)

[@Kainis80]

Warp 5 was already possible - it was in the NX class. Vulcans had Warp 7 at that time also. However, indeed the romulan war would not have been won without andorians.

[@pauldaniels3764]

They also helped us during the 4 years war

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Sorry, but canon has proven there WAS no 4 years war!

[@RedneckSpaceman]

Andorians don't really like Humans! They call us "Pink-Skins"!!

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

@@RedneckSpaceman Sorry but you are incorrect... Though the term "Pink-Skins" began as a term to define the suspicion the Andorians held for humanity, it quickly became a term of endearment as seen in Star Trek: Enterprise!

[@Cyber_Horse_Studios87]

I like that this ship looks very similar to the classic NX class!

[@defiantance]

Well, I guess I'm part Andorian. I like cold weather, and I believe that Star Fleet should have a dedicated military branch for the defense of the Federation.

[@jonmcgee6987]

Ditto for me. I love the cold weather especially when it snows. I like the idea of it being retconned in regards to the Aries class. With the design being kept in service and upgraded. It then possibly leading up to the Akira being a design successor.

[@jaspr1999]

My favorite episodes in Enterprise is any one that has Shran show up, especially, the three episodes that truly start the Federation in earnest. Your video really brings all those feelings to the surface, for me as I think about what a fantastic team Archer and Shran was.

[@PhilDrury]

Another of my favourites - of which there's a lot. This evolution of canon and side canon is always interesting. I'd never considered the design of Federation starships to be entirely human influenced. Indeed I considered them to be a mix of those old Earth cylinder designs and some alien saucer.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

I really hadnt given much thought to the idea myself tbh, but Canon has suggested it over the 55+ years and Beta Canon has as well quite a few times...

[@Gravemindefiler]

To boldly go where no one has gone before, these words alone speak the mission of serving on ships that were not designed for humans but presented a challenge for those brave enough.

I love that you did a FASA ship. That company is near and dear to my heart as a Traveller.

[@StarshipEternity]

Our records puts the Loknar in the FASA Trek universe but for fun I do wonder if it was based solely on the NX or if the "Freedom" Class vessels had some part in that too as well if the early kelvin timeline shared an identical history and aesthetic with the primary timeline? There are many, many, vessels across even this multiverse we found and it's pleasing to see some lesser known still being worked into others. Curious to see what comes out of your drydock next, keep it up!

Andorians are my favorite Federation member species! They're martial, without being bloodthirsty. Signal species crews have always been interesting to me, since I watched the TOS episode where the Intrepid shows up. Hell just the idea of having a Vulcan captain in a mixed crew is interesting! (Like Sisko's late captain.)

This is awesome. It's very nice to see some FASA vessels in Star Trek. I love the species-specific background of this vessel and the USS Intrepid for the Vulcan crew. Integration of the crews was inevitable and by the TNG era...was paying off for the Federation.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

I like the mention of the all-Vulcan USS Intrepid. Was that lore taken from Diane Duane's TOS/TMP era novels? In them, they described how the Intrepid's nacelles were somehow different than the other Constitution class vessels.

I honestly believe that the federation decommissions ships far too quickly. There's 1 episode where the Enterprise D ( the flagship of the federation) poses as a derelict ship in a scrap yard to wait for pirates. I mean seriously! That's like putting Airforce 1 or a Tesla pickup in a junkyard. JUST AN EXAMPLE! It sticks out like a sore thumb. But they considered it normal for their most advanced starship to be in a scrap yard. Are they just scrapping galaxy classes for fun. Or the pirates must not be very smart. Plus why scrap ships at all? Even outdated ships can be used for something. Training maybe, Supply ships, evacuation ships, EXAMPLE, the world still uses propeller driven aircraft in the jet age. 🤔

Normally not a fan of FASA designs but this one is decent. I don’t like the notches in the saucer and I would like to see the nacelles sit a little lower. At a glance it looks like a cross between the NX and the TOS Romulan warbird. Cool story with bringing in Archer’s descendant.

It does also have that feeling, but I went with the NX Class, because of the Andorians involvement with humanity during that time :)

[@AJFisherDesign]

Informative video. Thanks for the share. I like the look of this ship. The NX-01 influence is there. It’s interesting to reflect on the notion of “human-centric” values being perhaps dominant in the early Federation. It’s also compelling to think about a starship crew that has a minority of humans. I understand from a production standpoint why humans are featured most often. That being said, it would be entertaining to have a television series depicting a Starfleet ship that is mostly crewed with aliens and a minority of humans. Potentially humorous & insightful observations.

[@frankb3347]

Imagine being roommates with an Andorian and having them complain about the unbearable heat whenever you turn the thermostat up above freezing.

[@robertwhatley9861]

I always wondered about other races ships. DS9 had the Vulcan only ship episode. But they never really address why you don't see more member species serving on Federation ships. Its always crewed with pink skins and tolken aliens. " im sure for costume budget reasons" but makes the humans look like overlords running things or dummies taking all the risks.
