Every Constitution-class In STARFLEET - Star Trek Starships Explained

[@Lawfair]

I have long loved the 1980's era Constitution II class even more than subsequent Starfleet designs. However it is hard to deny that the updated aesthetic of the SNW Constitution class offers a lot to appreciate, I wonder what the updated aesthetic for the Constitution II class would look like.

[@KrayzeeAssKrisReturns]

Probably just light up the Bussard Collectors as the SNW ship looks to be a bridging design between the movies and original series. I reckon the front windows would be retained as well. The Conny Jr. design really has held up for the last 45 years, so no need fixin' what ain't broken.

[@deadma9kk265]

IMO The Neo Constitution class fits the new age of exploration for Starfleet, BUT I hate the fact that they downgraded their flagship from a Odyssey to a smaller ship, The Titan should've stayed as the Titan and the Enterprise F should've been given more screen time

[@RoballTV]

They never said the Enterprise G was the flagship, did they? Not saying it's not reasonable to assume, since every prior Enterprise was, just that I don't remember any confirmation of it. Feels like Starfleet are happy to just let the G be a 'scrappy underdog' ship with a crew of 'ne'er do wells'.

[@deadma9kk265]

@RoballTV Yea The G was not mentioned to be the new flagship but I just don't really like how it kinda breaks the cycle of each Enterprise being bigger and much more advanced and powerful than the last one, Constitution class -> Excelsior class Excelsior -> Ambassador class Ambassador -> Galaxy class Galaxy -> Sovereign class Sovereign-> Odyssey class Then we got Odyssey -> Neo Constitution class which is kind of a downgrade BUT I do like how it loops back to the Constitution class after all

[@MaverickBlue42]

Constitution 3 was not an upgrade over the Luna, visually. Poor Titan.

I mean Luna was my baby in STO, but Constitution 3 kind of was an upgrade...in every way, helluva sexy ship...

She was a work horse, the constitution class. But she was amazing to see because you knew they could take it. Also, Neo Constitution because she grew on me.

[@andrewwebb5871]

I would command a constitution refit, I just love the look of this ship!

[@garywillig5143]

I'd love to be able to command or even just travel in the Refit of the original Enterprise or the A, the most beautiful ship ever designed.

[@alasdairgardiner2313]

Have you played Star Trek Online? You get to command your own ship. I have mine, the U.S.S. Jupiter NCC-1734, the Flagship of the Starfleet 12th Fleet, and the personal Flagship of my Main Character, Fleet Admiral Jonathan James Cartwright. I am also building a model of the Jupiter, using the 1/350 Polar Lights Refit Enterprise/Enterprise-A with custom decals.

[@brettnelson7048]

As much as I LOVE the original Constitution class star ships, I would have to say I would command one of the newer classes (specifically the Neo Constitution class) as it will have more advanced technology, better weaponry, improved maneuverability, and superior shields, making them significantly more capable in most situations.

I always saw the STO's Excalibur class as the most modern Constitution Class. I sure had some fun adventures with that ship.

[@HammerJammer81]

The USS Enterprise was over 40 Years old when retired. The 20 year Quote from the movie was incorrect and a typo. A Trek channel should know this

[@keru80101]

I still hate the fact they called it Constitution III It's literally the Shangri-la class so just call it Shangri-la II

[@OmegaReaver]

This. The only difference is that they put a couple of phaser arrays on the dorsal and ventral sides of the saucer and changed the nacelles. They didn't even bother to remove the TMP style phaser banks. Not quite as lazy as the USS Ctrl-C Ctrl-V, but almost.

[@keru80101]

@OmegaReaver Exacly And then they have the audacity to spit on the Titan and rename it Enterprise Why not just make a second ship of that class? Yeah sure starfleet is low on resources but they said they used parts of the old titan to make the titan-a So why not do the same with the enterprise-f and enterprise-g?

[@MPeaches1958]

If I could command a Constitution Class ship, I'd want the original series Enterprise. I drooled over that ship as a child and had several models and toys related to the show. Edit: I feel like I should admit that at 66, I still have most of my models and toys.

[@treavy1]

Honey wake up trek central just uploaded the Connie class!

[@mlasrb]

I just ifnd the Connie III class fugly for the 25th century design language...

[@davidconlin32]

Constitution class refit is the one i want Ncc 1701 A

[@QuantaSolace]

I like the Neo Constitution class but it does feel outdated after seeing the Odyssey class ,which looks more inline with the 25th century of ships.

[@OmegaReaver]

Makes sense, as the designer just took a TMP design, the Shangri-La class, slapped a couple of phaser arrays on the saucer, changed the nacelles and called it a Constitution. Lazy bastard didn't even take off the TMP phaser banks.

[@OscarFowler]

The "Neo Constitution" makes sense as a the fan-designed Shangri-La class that it was. It was also prettier before the changes. Absolutely makes no sense as a 25th century ship and I'll never forgive whoever it was that decided to that. 😡

[@Ken19700]

I've been a star trek fan since 1975 and I don't know anyone who calls the refit the Constitution 2 class.

[@ronnycampbell4094]

as much as i love star trek and the ships i'd love to pilot the vengeance or the scimitar

[@brianberthold3118]

love how they call anything and everything a constitution now ....

[@grahamcann1761]

Which class of Starship would I want to command? "Dreadnought"*. But probably not the first one most folks think of. I enjoyed watching the original series, and then in the mid-70s I picked up a book of "Star Trek Blue Prints" with various ships, including a "Dreadnought" (first time I recall seeing something with three nacelles). *That said, I'd also love to serve on the Enterprise, like my dad (*AIrcraft Carrier) (*Bio-dad, as opposed to Adopted father). As always, thank you so very much for the videos. And best wishes of the season.

[@greyhawk4898]

Not tough question at all. Kirk timeline, NCC-1701 no bloody A, B, C, or D

[@masterskywalker7141]

Don't forget the E, F, and that disgusting G which should've remained the Titan-A

[@MPeaches1958]

You, Scotty and I are in agreement on this. The original series Enterprise is an icon of my childhood.

[@jabezsalamanca7441]

I like all the Constitution-Class Enterprises (mainly the OG and Refit Enterprise, SNW Enterprise, and JJ-Prise as all three of them introduced me to Star Trek as a whole) but the Neo Constitution-Class seems out of place since the Titan-A shouldn't be renamed Enterprise-G as the Titan-A could still have a legacy to continue with the Starship Titan name.

[@raverdeath100]

the Constitution refit. in my 55 yo head, it will always be known as the Enterprise class.

[@ThatMetalheadMan]

I dont like the Connie III much,because I hate how the impulse engines look. Its way too extra.

[@ken.f.c.1977]

[@masterskywalker7141]

Constitution class all the way for me. I love both the Refit and Neo con equally, there's also the Sovereign. As for commanding I'd say the Neo constitution as a luxury yacht, the Refit as a VIP command because why not, and the Sovereign so I can through it at all my problems 😁

[@ds6080]

Looks like the starship design team also suffering from neurological disorders along with the story team from Picard with the Connie 3 ( nice enough for a unrelated earlier time but not after the super look of the Sovereign Class ) as to command I wouldn't I don't really like any of them!

[@haroldchase4120]

I’d prefer the refit or the versions build that way from the ground up preferably with all the upgrades I could think of to keep her capable of stomping behind if needs be

[@bossgunny4203]

The refit or Enterprise class. In my mind this is the definition of what a Starship should be.

[@TheRealCoolDude1989-nt5ed]

Well I like the refit Constitution Class , since I got see that ship on all six classic "Star Trek " movies . So just a thing for me , well do like the classic TOS one as well .But they newer ones just steal from the classic one , which is the refit one that is .I mean the one in "Star Trek Strange New Worlds " , and the Kelvin one .Look like they are from the same Universe , since they are bigger then the Refit Constitution class .And the Neo Constitution class from "Picard " .

[@bryanbond7804]

I wouldn't want to command any of the Constitution Class ships as there are way better design ships I would rather command.

[@M_J_Glide_22]

[@DonDonP1]

My #1 version of the Connie-class is _The Motion Picture_ refit. Oh, it's *WIllard* Decker, not William.

[@Greyfox775]

Depends on the era in which I’m in but if I’m going to been in the same time as the ship was made I would have the enterprise-A 😌

[@Toobeegort]

The original Constitution class is the best, the one that started it all, that's the one for me.

[@alasdairgardiner2313]

I already my own Constitution-class Starship in Star Trek Online. The U.S.S. Jupiter NCC-1734, the Flagship of my Main Character, Fleet Admiral Jonathan James Cartwright. It was launched on the 13th of September 2246, and served Starfleet Command and the United Federation of Planets for a record 52 years of Active Service, before being decommissioned on the 28th of November 2298. In Star Trek Online, Fleet Admiral Cartwright and his Command Crew are transported to the 25th century, where they continue the voyages they have begun. I am writing my own series of adventures, Star Trek: Jupiter, and I am also building a model of the Jupiter, using the 1/350 Polar Lights Refit Enterprise/Enterprise-A with custom decals.

[@blazechicken6822]

I'm not sure we can say the SNW Enterprise is an updated visual. Originally I would say yes we can accept that's really what the Connie always looked like but the New Jersey in Picard confirms the ship had the ToS look. That likely means the Connies had to of received a major refit before ToS.

[@poetscotty]

Can you guys do a deep dive on Lamarr class seems like were not getting season three of prodigy.Why another video,? Looking at Voyager A and Voyager B they downsized the Lamarr class to Pathfinder but pack it a lot technology but took the temporal technology.

[@corbett666]

Hate the neo constitution class. So out of place for the era. Hate they dubbed it the enterprise even more

[@sarcasticstartrek7719]

errm, the copyright isn't held by Paramount+. It's held by CBS Studios (TV stuff) and Viacom/Paramount (film stuff, depending on the film). P+ has no copyright over Star Trek as it doesn't make it. It just streams it. It's like saying Copyright BBC because it's on the BBC in the UK.

[@SSGLew]

Realistically, the original Command Cruiser USS Lexington.

[@kineuhansen8629]

personal i think the enterprise we see in snw and tos are a refit special since we see a tos connie in picard and the snw connie as well and if i had to choose my favorite will always be the mk2 refit kirks enterprise i love those clean retro lines and i rather like the neo connie design part from the class name neo constitution make no sense calling it that

[@Usa_mikek]

Indeed. It's all in the name.

[@matthewsolis7075]

I actually like the kelvin enterprise. The original series version seems way under sized and underproduced for an organization as large and resource rich as the UFP. The only problem I have is that in order for the kelvin enterprise to still feel powerful but not invulnerable they have to make more powerful bad guy ships and the way they went about doing that made the enterprise feel kinda weak. I would have loved to see the enterprise get into a fight with some romulan ships and absolutely body them but then when confronted by a super weapon or hostile entity then it needs to run or hide. That’s something the original series and strange new worlds do very well in particular.

[@budgetbiker26]

Definitely the neo constitution, i would prefere the sovereign class though.

[@tarrantwolf]

In the neotrekverse did they also start with 12 connies like the tos trekverse? And in the JJverse? The trek refit is the prettiest ship, the neotrek ship isn't bad either, the jjverse ship is an atrocity.

[@scifiguy26]

The only Constitution class starship that matter are TOS & The Refit the rest don't count 🖖

[@TeraQuad]

"Even in the 25th century you will still see a Constitution Class still around in a new design." Yeah....don't remind me.

[@chrismills2439]

first off, my opinions are my opinions and are not even considered beta canon, let alone alpha canon, so you do not have to get started on how I'm wrong in my thinking. I'd serve on tos era movies Constitution class, sure. would do Excelsior too, even up to the final refit. not the neo constitution, that gets called conie 3 cause they call the enterprise a refit connie 2, and it is not, it is the class's final refit using Excelsior Tech with likely a few ships getting the treatment or the final ones out of the San Fransisco Shipyards or the ones on Mars. Now do not get me wrong, I like the neo constitution's look and design, I think it needs to have a better armored hull and weapons layout.

[@trazyntheinfinite9895]

Just because someone slaps the name constitution on a class does not make it so. Neither the neocon nor the dsc future even share design traits.

[@Ithinkiwill66]

I am not much of a fan of the 2019 Enterprise, and the scale of it's size is just crazy. The Enterprise for "Strange New Worlds" is pretty damn good looking.....the way it should of looked like from the beginning.....but, those were different "budget" days....and mostly computer generated. But, if it was not for Gene Roddenberry, and Matt Jeffries ( if I recall ), then the Star Trek, and Enterprise, would of not been now. The Enterprise, from 2245 to it's destruction, in the later 23rd century, was alot like the CV 65 (?) Enterprise aircraft carrier...wich was the only ship that got through many battles....and still came home, where it was highly decorated
