Innovations like the Chronoton Integrator make the slow ramp up to the Temporal Cold War more conceivable. The moment you normalize small changes in the flow of time for the purpose of convenience you start a slippery slope that leads to normalizing the idea of altering time to suit your needs if you have the capacity to do so.

One of the ideas I came up with a shile ago is a computer you trap in its own temporal bubble. With a converter to give it all th einfo you can as fast as you can and then to translate what it says out of the temporal field. The computer could essentially move faster in time than the ship and give deeper analysis due to having days to analyze what other would have a few moments. That would super fit into your theory :D

Well done, really accurate! I'm blown away by the love for the Vesta in this comment section, I could never have imagined it would be around for so long. Small remark: The tubes below the deflector are in essence dedicated probe launchers. (I since then have unified Torpedo and Probe shapes, so perhaps in a refit... :P) Fun/sad fact: It was already in pre-visualisation for Picard, but due to time and actor budget constrains it was left out. I did deliver it to the VFX team and I have seen it in some pre-viz shots and in preliminary bridge LCARS tests. I'm reasonable sure that if Legacy will be made by the same group, the Vesta will get a cameo. :)

The Vesta immediately became my favorite ST ship design the moment I laid eyes on it. My own headcannon for its role in STO is that only a few ships were produced before the UP attack, and then later when the Klingon War was starting to heat up they revived the line because A) The hull design meant for slipstream aeurodynamics also proved to be sturdy hull for conflict (in game stats be damned lol) but was still hesitant on pure warships, and 2)as it was meant to be a test bed for multiple experimental systems, everything internal was designed to be modular, making it very easy to upgrade and retrofit with new tech. Thank you for covering our blue beauty! Side note: there is still a small ember of hope in me that STO will give us some kind of Vesta II design someday. Palatine, Esquilline, and Brigid are ... okay, and Caelian is too Section 31ish for my tastes.

I love the Vesta Class - for a myriad of reasons. First and foremost, I love that it's based on the Roman Pantheon and the 7 hills. I've always been fascinated with Ancient Rome. And because Ezri Dax - my favorite Dax - was given her first Captaincy over that ship. Lastly, it's got a sleek, savvy design that I love. It's the perfect convergence of several things for me. Sadly, when I played STO, the Vesta had been released and I was saving up to buy one to use, but quit playing before I had the tokens.

If the QSD on the Vesta could be made more stable for long duration use, days or weeks on end, then it might be a viable option for the first extra-galactic exploration. The Dauntless is a good ship, but it's small, not a ton of room for the amenities and aboard ship an exploration mission to the Magellanic Clouds would require. The Vesta has all that. The large shuttle bays that could send runabouts on survey missions while the base ship does things only it can do, the ample space aboard for labs, work spaces, and crew comforts would let the whole mission run longer, and it could get to the Large Magellanic Cloud within a month and the Small within 2 months. Plan it like the old 5 year missions and you have a job that the Vesta class is in a unique position to fill that role.
@EnderMalcolm
@EnderMalcolm 10 ай бұрын
I would say that in show canon, the Vesta class is undertaken at the same time as the Dauntless class, with the reason being that they already knew a fair amount about QSD, had a design which did work, but wanted something a bit more..., normal as well, something which looked like a Starfleet ship. On top of this, dual-production meant that if one ship failed, they had a backup. When the Dauntless was successful and in the wake of the attack on Utopia Planetia, the Vesta class was set aside to focus on getting more important ships underway. As such by the time they got back to it, the design is in a fair state of outdatedness, and required overhauling for its original purpose, which was now also somewhat secondary. Eventually the vesta class would settle in as that high-speed multi-role cruiser in a backbone state. It wasn't top of the line or able to keep up with more modern ships, but could pack a punch when required, was well-suited for many different tasks, and would make a perfect second-contact vessel. First contact undertaken with a flagship vessel in normal circumstances, and then you roll up with the nitromethane drag car to be like "And here's what else we can do, want to work together?"

Another potential thing might be that that Dauntless was an almost one for one replica of the schematics of the other Dauntless, and was built more to let them understand how it worked. The Vesta class being intended to be able to take the QS Drive designs as a starfleet designed ship that would use it, and designed to have the drives installed following tests while being able to work out other issues with the ship before then with the USS Vesta, and when it's recomissioned as the Aventine, that's with the drive installed following testing of the Dauntless. Because the original Dauntless was designed as a trap, having it in mass production might be an issue in and of itself, but a test vessel or two makes sense there just to figure out the technology. Then Janeway "borrows" the Dauntless for her mission to track down the Protostar because it seems like the design might be technically faster, but more of a long range point to point with less of everything else...which would make a lot of sense with the supposed backstory for the design that it was intended to be a rapid transport between Voyager in the Delta Quadrant and Federation space, letting them get people home (and, potentially, back) quickly and easily. And with the delay in standard production after a few ships would also mean that there would be a lot of upgrades and fixes to the design that would have come up over regular use by the existing ships that might make it a good, reliable design at that point with improvements compared to the top of the line designs.

It occurred to me sometime in the last year that they ought to be more starship classes that are inspired by nonhuman history. Like it seems like most of the starship classes are named after human myths. But there are so many more species in Starfleet in the Federation, you would think over the centuries that Moore ship classes would be named after non-human history.
@rattelv426

isn't the explanation for the human history naming of ships due to the vast majority vessels being both designed & built in the Sol system, but the various technologies are built across the Federation, like at the beginning of the Federation, Earth/Mars had a scale of ship building unmatched by any other Federation world/s, so it benefitted everyone to have the Terrans build the ships & member world's would contribute their best specialisation to the designs.

​@@rattelv426 Maybe that's the canon explanation, but it seems far fetched to me: - Nearly every other race in the Federation had warp travel before Earth - Their warp drives were far more advanced - The other races had several planets and even multiple star systems under their control for mining and construction - The Federation may have been instituted by Earth, but without the other worlds, there's no Federation It seems to me there would be way more ships with non-Terran names. Especially after 100-200 years or so. And even if Earth did build them, there's no way such an organization would be both largely crewed by humans or largely named with Earth names. Yes, the Mars construction is the in-universe explanation, I just don't buy that such an arrangement would ever happen. The other worlds would be richer, more advanced, and more proud than to defer to Earth for most of the ship names.

I like the idea that the Vesta class is present as a test bed for the quantum slipstream drive as normal, but it's activities is heavily classified. The Dauntless we see in Prodigy would then be the first ship to adopt the quantum slipstream drive as an ongoing openly known technology, followed by the Odyssey class. This makes sense, with the Tel Shiar being a big deal post the Dominion War, trying to take advantage of the reputation the Romulan involvement in the war gave them. I even think Admiral Janeway being in charge of the Vesta development and also secret activities makes further sense. She has had 7 years dealing with far tougher circumstances. Defeating Tel Shiar agents snooping around secret technological development missions would be fun for her after that.

The Vesta's QSD can still fit into existing canon by setting it's design date just slightly before Voyager returns. The project could have been part of a peace time revitalization of Starfleet after the Dominion War, trying to reengage in the science and exploration goal after a bloody war. Even after Voyager's return, they couldn't figure out how to intergrade a proper QSD into the existing Vest design, so the ship was then rolled into production without it as a normally propelled starship. The Vesta design was already really strong, so why scrap the design because of one thing? The Dauntless 2 project was then started with proper working knowledge of functional QSD from Voyager's travel.

The problem with getting the design into canon is that it wasn't a commissioned fan design, like the Luna or the Odyssey. With those, the rights to use the design automatically went to the licence holder. With the Vesta, they'd have to make a deal with Mark Rademaker for every single show or game they would use it on. That's what Cryptic did.

Your comment on the Vesta being forefront in "at least one timeline" gave me a thought: if they take the JJ-verse into the TNG or post-TNG era, it could be the Ent-F. In the JJ-verse, QSD is already standard during TOS, so Vesta would be operating at peak performance when it's rolled out and Odyssey wouldn't be needed. I guess it's unlikely since the known ships in JJ are so much larger than their Prime counterparts, but maybe Starfleet decides to dial back the massive ships after Ent-A is able to destroy the Vengeance in a 1-on-1 fight. Who knows, you just got me thinking and I can kinda visualize how it would play out. Thanks for all your vids.

I hate the fact that the Odyssey is canon in service mid-2380s now. We go from sub-700m ships with Galaxy, Sovereign, Vesta... to 1000+m Odyssey. We really ought to have some sort of 850m-ish design at that point, then Odyssey and Ent-F in ~2400. Fits the growth from Enterprise to Ent-E ship classes better than a 300-350m jump that we now have in canon. Vesta could remain as a QSD test bed. After all, developing a tech could result in multiple test beds as they progress and mature the tech. Dauntless might've been the original, with Vesta being designed potentially "for but not with" QSD with the intent of it providing more...vigorous field testing of the tech once the Dauntless test program completed. That aspect might have been shelved post-UP attack as they were more resource efficient than a 1km Odyssey as they were, though as the decades wore on, they might've gotten refit with QSD. That could even explain why they never showed up in PIC - they were all way off elsewhere getting up to hi-jinks while testing the limits of the QSD. That being said, I did grab the Eaglemoss USS Aventine and it's quite the unique design with Voyager and Titan on one side and all the STO designs on the other.

I know in STO there is any ship playable that has ever been imagined, but: In the former "beta" timeline that has now been erased with the "Coda" there was no Odyssey Class because the Galaxy Class stayed in service well into the late 2380ys as was intended in her 100year lifecyclye. The Vesta ships fulfilled a whole new role as super-fast exploreres like the "Quirinal " did as a part of Janeways Delta Quadrant "Full Circle" fleet or as a fast responder like Ezris Aventine during the final borg invasion.

Starfleet's advantage over races like the Romulan's and Klingon's is the constant innovation; they don't just develop an all-singing, all-dancing ship and then just tweak it until it's obsolete, they constantly iterate. The Ambassador class is my typical go-to example; a class that was revolutionary compared to the previous TMP-Era designs but because Starfleet continued to develop the new technologies and came up with the Galaxy class and the numerous variants, the Ambassador type ships were side lined. They were still extremely modern and useful ships, just not the top-of-the-line ships, and I think the Vesta would probably go in that same category. The development described even mirrors the Ambassador; it was the class that came first, but was quickly overtaken by a more advanced design; in the Vesta's case it's the Odyssey class.

My favourite Federation Starship design (to be honest, i have 2 No1s. My other favourite is the Achilles Class from ST:DS9 Dominion Wars). I think it's time to read the Destiny Trilogy again.

Surprised it didn't also have active ablative armour (looked like it had the option for them with the red strips for them on the outer hull)

Vesta is the Great Experiment of the 24th century and imo the modern Excelsior.

The Sovereign is my favorite, but the Vesta and Odyssey are closely tied for 2nd. So sleek and Fast.

We should also consider that the vesta is likely less resource intensive than the Odyssey but still extremely capable. So it is not out of the realm of possibility that it would be brought back if that function is still needed but resources would be more efficiently spent on more ' really good but not the best' vessels.

My head-canon is that the Vesta does exist, but that all seven were on long-term deep-space assignments, which is why they've not shown up.

I guess a Raven type might fit on the back flight deck, but not a Defiant (to big) maybe something like a Aeroshuttle or Waverunner.

Vesta did some really nice beef curries back in the day.

i could still see them add this ship as part of the slipstream test program as a early prototype vessel perhaps it failed or something and then starfleet moved over to the dauntless

Given that Odyssey class is canonically now older than its STO launch. I think the relationship should be inverted with Vesta class being the new 2405 era ship.

Despite all the love this ship has in the comments, I see a disappointing lack of “Vesta is Besta” comments.

She’s a pretty ship, but I was honestly a bit underwhelmed by its performance in STO.
