Edison Warship (STO)

[@deanj1981]

I totally love this ship and design

[@jeremycaufield8605]

Kinda looks like a Federation take on a Jem' Hadar attack ship.

[@Twitchguy]

Omg! He’s right! I felt like I’d seen it before and you’re right it’s a federation there dominion attack ship on top & a dominion battleship on the bottom scaled down!

[@kdrapertrucker]

I thought it looks like an early 25th century take on the centaur class.

[@kdrapertrucker]

Looks like impulse engine under the shuttlebay, and small impulse engines on the nacelle struts.

[@Twitchguy]

This ship reminds of successor to the Miranda class crossed with a Norway class as a next gen anti borg vessel. I think it’s sexy looking!

[@seanoneill9606]

To me, it looks like a Jem'hadar version of a Starfleet ship.

[@Taz.B]

I thought so too! That deflector is a no for me lol

[@seanoneill9606]

@@Taz.B I'm on the fence with this ship. I don't know if I like or dislike it.

[@futurerandomness1620]

I see the opposite. I think the federation took cues from the dominion war. They saw how effective the "bug ship" design was and federationized it. Now I realize the original design was from the pre TOS era, but nothing is stopping them from going back and taking design cues (with the newest technology) and adapting it for the 2409 era

[@stepheng7325]

i'd love to see you guys cover more STO ships

[@spikedpsycho2383]

Star trek has several styles TOS style: Flat, grey/white with red pin stripes TNG style: Dark grey Post TNG: Darker grey with bits of silver and hints of black STO: Orange and blue play more prominent color scheme.

[@spluff5]

I like to think that the unusual deflector array is the Federation's first experiments with the technology that would become the time-globes on top of the future timeships like the Relativity.

[@stevenewman1393]

🖖😎👍It's a very nice looking and very cool ship design indeed and I own both versions from Eaglemoss as well. Any ways you guys did a very nice job informatively explaining and executing everything on and about this starship in every detail indeed👌...

[@R-B-G]

The deflector dish looks like it may be a shielded multiphase deflector of it could also be a graviton emitting deflector for the trans wrap stability

[@kdrapertrucker]

It's designed for quantom slipstream drive.

[@奶路牛]

I quite like this design actually. Has a squat nebula vibe and I like all ships with configurations like the nebula so…😂 Also the torp launchers are in the front saucer rim I believe, and quite a few of them.

[@bcluett1697]

@12:40 in between the "falcon" mandables there is a big ass shuttle bay considering the size of the ship. THis is a ship I like but I must confess it's friggen confusing in still pictures to keep track of some of the features since the design likes to hide them with all the facets and grooves on it. It makes a bit more sense when it's in motion but yeah I don't know if it would make it past a showrunner without modification for a tv show. Maybe the Vulcans designed it for diversity sake. The crazy deflector on this might be accounted for in that it's supposed to be a "temporal warship". Probably balancing open portals and controlling anamolies.

[@wargodsix]

Should be about the Miranda class in size

[@coreys2686]

Hangar is center aft, between the 'falcon mandibles'. I see something that looks like torpedo launchers front, either side of the black racing stripe, The raised parts of the saucer. There's four launcher-looking things in each of those areas, eight launchers forward

[@petersmafield1494]

I like the Galaxy Class.

[@timbradwell3205]

I would flip the whole thing upside down.

[@Alan1701b]

Was totally surprised that this ship even has a secondary hull. From the first picture I assumed it was like the Miranda-class variations which had the nacelles attached without the need of a rollbar attached. But I am definitely not a fan of the deflector dish and the way it protrudes out like that.

[@thefirstman2007]

I think if the whole secondary hull was pulled further back which would bring the engines further back too. Then angle them 45 degrees and finally have the struts angled down it would be a much nicer looking ship.

[@timsmith9162]

Okay ✅

[@richardajoy79]

This would look better if it had an Oberth-style secondary hull...a 2410 version of the Oberth.

[@psychodboy1511]

Love the way this ship looks...too bad it's layout doesn't jive with my build.

[@shrouddragoon6151]

I think there in the front of the Saucer

[@Darkhorse393]

what if you flipped it over? Put the Warp nacells up instead of down?

[@gmon78]

That ship looks better if the back is the front.

[@9an13l]

Can you guys make a video on the "Merchantman" from Star Trek III ? It kinda reminds me of the saber class.......

[@rextrek]

2nd ! hey guys....it looks like a horse-shoe crab minus a tail

[@larrykelbaughjr.1831]

I call them "Blade nacelles"! Because they are so thin! But, that's just my opinion!

[@jordanreed3675]

Feels like the two shapes and hulls are meant for saucer separation and the torpedoes are on the front of the saucer

[@garypalmer997]

Looks like the ship can separate into two

[@seanoneill9606]

It does.

[@wolfen001]

Us in the UK can not get them any ideas how to buy them

[@followerofjulian1652]

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

[@AWFarmer]

It looks like it is made to separate from the warp nicelles quickly like most future era ships were sure to include.

[@dantles]

guys pleas do USS Helena from The Helena Chronicles, I think that ship is super cool and I think more people need to know about it

[@wingsabre]

Maybe the torpedos are like the defiant’s.

[@larrykelbaughjr.1831]

11:15 back view! Just above that black piece is shuttle bay!

[@Doublebarreledsimian]

This ship is a beast! High DPS numbers in game. I no longer use it though as I prefer its Romulan counterpart with the same seating and layout. The visuals are ok, I just really hate the deflector dish, so I started using the Legendary Defiant warship.

[@RememberTheChase]

I like it!

[@neondemon5137]

Where's the Tesla Warship?

[@kdrapertrucker]

It didn't have the range to make it, it's stuck at a charging station for 8 hours.

[@S1nwar]

a warpdelta+millenium falcon version would still look MORE REASONABLE than the Yeager class^^

[@hansebee]

Those could be weapons in those forward-facing openings that kinda mirror the extended mandibles in the rear. The game wiki says forward and aft quantum launchers only, but then that wiki also calls all phaser strips "phaser (heavy) cannons" and visually fires them out of the impulse crystal, so its very game-oriented and practically disregards ST visual canon.

[@valor1omega]

Get rid of the saucer section and you got yourself a fighter looking ship.

[@techraan2160]

oh my hell, it's the backwards millennium falcon with nacelles attached!! NEXT!!

[@danielhall5364]

Is this sub post to be TNG era or pre TOS era?

[@garrettbodwell61]

I actually love this ship and think it would look great with separation capabilities. The saucer does look like the Jupiter 2 from the Netflix lost in space series. The discovery designs are a total miss for me, with the exception of the Hiawatha class. The Voyager J with its detached saucer and nacelles looks like a Nintendo Wii character.

[@Mellowcanuck33]

3:11 if its an actual warship, I would have integrated the nacelles to the dish with solid decking and hull plating just to reinforce the entire structure. Then have armor to come down over the nacelles on the exterior. Ahh now that I see the secondary hull...I would to the same from the bottom. Like a clam shell to cover the nacelles from direct fire...but still exposed to function.

[@mattbarker336]

Comparwd to the hoover it looks squished and the nacelles are too close to the hull because of the upward moving pylons

[@dustinbrandel59]

Putting the nacelles under the disk protects them from attack. Unlike normal federation ships, which just leave them sticking out. Obvious targets. Freakin dumb.

[@garykyle3737]

Much better looking upsidedown

[@jamesmagill5433]

Better than DIS version but it still needs tinkering. It’s too big too...

[@hyan5cardoso]

If the struts were arched down it would be a very intelligent design for a battleship

[@Janoha17]

The Edison is designed to be a beam boat. And I'd like to see you take a look at the latest STO ships: The Clarke and the Grissom Classes.

[@sw-gs]

My main starship

[@timrose9826]

surprising likeable ship... its cool

[@SquadraCorse]

I like it, but I'd like it more if the engineering hull and nacelles sat a bit farther back. I also think the top would be better if there were a bit more of a bulge or step over the shuttle bay.

[@adamlytle2615]

The nacelles coming off that secondary hull on those long struts is just awkward. I think having the nacelles attached to the edge of the saucer like the Saber class would look better.

[@larrykelbaughjr.1831]

Didn't see torpedo launchers, but having them in the warp nacelle struts would be a good place for them! 2 forward, & 2 aft(suggestion)!

[@MarkLLawrence]

The side view looks like a squished down Oberth

[@ilovethe80s74]

Hoover class? So many jokes can be made.

[@kdrapertrucker]

Only if you do not know who Bob Hoover was. Very accomplished WWII P-38 pilot, and postwar test pilot, and air show pilot right up through the 1990s. Backup pilot to Chuck Yeager on the X-1 test program. Man did enough for 3 lifetimes.

[@ilovethe80s74]

@@kdrapertrucker I stand corrected. My apologies Mr. Hoover.

[@seanoddy9275]

I like this ship but yeah it's way too big and needs smaller nacelles with better detailing on the front. Not a fan of the large orange ice lolly looking bussard collectors.

[@Capronice]

Reminds me of Reliant style ship. I thought it was discovery sized.

[@jfbrko290]

I like the STO version more than the Disco version. Whenever you play it in game, if you build it right it's actually a pretty powerful ship. You can literally create temporal anomalies with this thing. And the temporal deconstruction beam ship mechanic is to die for.

[@Dredre1069]

From the top view it looks like the Millennium Falcon with two warp cells 😝😝

[@crumb7192]

It feels like a star fury from B5 and the Millennium Falcon mounted together.

[@richardtrussell1844]

Great review, like the design of this Ship 🖖

[@S1nwar]

there are phaser strips on the bottom side that are legit blocked by the nacelles^^

[@TalesOfWar]

It should be able to fire on its broadside without being in the way. Not much clearance though.

[@morganb6717]

both the Edison and Hoover's essential sections work, for the most part: saucers of both - okay, secondary hulls of both - also okay. however, where the secondary hull sits in relation to the saucer is where the design falls into awkwardness. the Hoover's secondary hull, as atypical a shape as it is for Starfleet, would be better served positioned farther back on the saucer so that its rear top edge rests flush with the rear of the saucer and, as the Edison is an updated iteration of the Hoover, the same would follow suit for Edison's secondary hull. an added bonus of positioning the secondary hull farther back would have given the opportunity to have the ubiquitous planetary sensor array dome included. as i personally dislike the 25th century in-strut impulse design, the most logical choice would be to place the impulse engines within the center rear of the saucer section of the Hoover and between the 'Falcon's mandibles' in the rear of the Edison, which would free up immense vents(?) that are in the center of the rear facing of the secondary hull to function as doors to a rather spacious shuttle bay. TL:DR as is: Meh. a few alterations in-line with the Starfleet aesthetic: woulda been pretty cool.

[@t-reidtrue307]

Be cool if that underside with the deflector thing, would separate. Like if the “warp delta” would come off and attack! Lol that would look cool

[@weirdkitty07]

The profiles on this ship are weird and similar to the Defiant and Falcon and Miranda and the bottom is a raider, or half of one, from B5. Instead of making the nacelles slim profile, turn them like Miranda and make them sleeker. Make the saucer turned around, so the wedge is in front, and the scale should be closer to Voyager than Enterprise D. It's like the Jem Hadar kitbashed a ship.

[@theodoremccarthy4438]

I don't like the articulated secondary hull on warships. It's an obvious structural weak point. I'd like this design better if it was categorized as an Explorer.

[@tetsubo57]

I like this design but I am *so* tired of time travel in ST.

[@kdrapertrucker]

The booklet with the eaglemoss model says nothing about time travel, it's just a warship built to replace losses from the Iconian war, and the federation, Klingon empire, Romulans, and Dominion are an alliance at this time and share designs and technology.

[@charleslee8505]

Hey quick question are you do you still play Starfleet battles tabletop game or it was just want to want some in a blue moon wild hair thing that you did once

[@wenlocke]

Most of my gripes with the Edison are in the way Cryptic implemented the ship and its traits and abilities, rather than the visuals, per se. I do entirely agree with the point that they pretty much did a reasonable job of making what is an essentially unbalanced and aesthetically annoying shape (about the only Disco fed ship I felt didn't work) be a bit more pleasing when they converted the Disco ship to 25th century looks, but it was always hobbled by that basic layout/silhouette.

[@thetrekwrightchannel4186]

Minimalists are the most interesting/challenging; how do you make them both cool and unique while adding so little to the basic saucer. I'm fine with only the "coil" or blue lit parts of the engines having line of sight; I think these engines have too little line of sight to each other. It would definitely be better as a smaller ship. Shift the secondary hull back a bit. The Capt. may be right about turning the saucer around though you do get into Star Wars territory if you do that.

[@shinjofox]

I think it looks alright. Strikes me that the secondary hull could be a detachable attack ship.

[@valor1omega]

Since when would LOS bother Foley? when his dreadnought more or less ignores the LOS rules, lol

[@animemuse8613]

Please react to the Glenn class from sto

[@Tyraeous]

Just remove the nacelle struts, have the nacelles connect directly to the saucer Miranda-style.

[@ozziemederos]

Awesome hair cut super captain Foley Foley Foley

[@ozziemederos]

It’s another enterprise coming in

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

It's mostly a visually appealing design, but only as an art piece, and the two shapes of primary and secondary hull are kind of jarring. . But as a space combat vessel, it is...unfortunately...like most Star Trek ships, total trash. Wouldn't last a full minute against an equally advanced, equally armed ship specifically designed for space combat of that technological theme. . Edit: I also hate the name. Edison was a jackass, invented nothing, and was a crook.

[@andrewbecker1013]

Considering that Discovery's writers idolize human jackal Elon Musk, it makes sense they'd name something after a grifter like Edison and a bottom-tier, market fetishist president like Hoover.

[@stuartford5556]

It's just a modernized Miranda

[@wontonasparagus7865]

Looks like a posh kit bash Me likes a posh kit bash lol

[@raya7816]

the Shuttle bay is bettenthe inpabe Engen,s

[@valor1omega]

It looks like an uglier nebula class but with the saucer section pulled all the way back.

[@johnballard5547]

🙂👍🏽🖖🏽📽

[@Capronice]

Sorry just from above it is Reliant like.

[@bear8696]

not really a fan of this ship. this isnt a warship so much as an experimental ship. it has too much non standard federation tech going on for something you put together to fight a war with. most (federation) war ships (Aries) (Defiant) are off the shelf tech, put together without science stuff to get in the way. this looks like a swiss army knife, not a bayonet

[@bear8696]

now if you want to tell me this was a science ship that got repurposed 1/3 of the way thru construction i might buy that
