Trekyards EP198 - Pathfinder Class (STO) (Part 2)

[@greggregory2554]

Love this ship. Would have been nice to see a variation of these on Picard.

[@samuelyoung5664]

Maybe a prototype under construction. Something like that.

[@DarthWamp]

Cryptic Cat is Best Cat =D Thanks for getting TtCC on the show guys! Please do more when you're able, I'm loving these Star Trek Online Interviews.

[@AsuraCloudwalker]

My favorite starship design!

[@zacharyKewDenniss]

So glad I’ve seen this, as I’ve just restarted STO Seeing the love of franchise exhibited by the game designers shows why the game is still so popular after all this time.

24:30 I agree about incorporating the torpedo launchers into the protrusions. That way he can recoup the polygons for the bridge details he had to cut.

[@enterprise-h312]

Graviton torpedoes sound more potent in terms of what I heard about them. Being capable of blowing up a small moon with a single one of them and all. 5:25 From what I recall the Graviton torpedo used by Voyager was a modified Photon Torpedo. 11:45 The calculations I did would have the Voth transwarp do about warp 9.99999999 using the TNG warp scale. 16:10 The black nacelles certainly work better for me if they are made to act as landing gear.

[@josephllivingston1378]

Also, I suggest that for landing pads "gear" they could be maneuvered out of the shuttle/cargo bay and docked with the ship as a pre-landing sequence. For emergencies, there could be some sort of force-field generators that could "effect" landing pads until time was available to maneuver the actual "gear" into place. Call it "Emergency Hover Landing" very short term. Once the ship was "dry-docked", the mountable "gear" would be affixed. This way, though not intended for landing without fixed support of an actual dry-dock, there would be an option. You could even have the "gear" be used secondarily as structural enhancements in the shuttle bays that were necessary for high speed structural integrity. A multi-purpose functionality seems more likely to be incorporated in the future to maximize space and also to better identify with Emergency landing. Otherwise any landing pads would not be required. They could even be modular Pods that could be sent down just before the ship settled onto the pods.

[@jaysus620]

I really dig the prongs on the nacelle struts. Such a cool ship!

[@polarstar2905]

Excellent ship. Love the creativity. Really like how you chose the name.

[@leemcateer3717]

Polar Star

[@sarahgrant2007]

This is a unbelievably cool ship design! Get on on it Eaglemoss we demand it!

[@JimbobHarrigan1984]

Here's a perfect use for the Pathfinder, using it in times of conflict as a troop landing ship. You could easily fit a company of MACOs in there

[@Taorakis]

Gives a whole new appreciation for the non canon ships of STO. Nice job :).

[@josephllivingston1378]

Those "Not Escape Pod" hatches could be some sort of Weapon reload package receiving bays. You pull into a space dock and the weapons/organic supplies/anti-matter docking chutes could do auto reloading or something. Maybe a science lab module loading slots.

[@besaidknight]

On Torpedo Launchers: I've always thought that the torpedo launcher was just a deployment mechanism, and that the torpedo itself contains all the important bits. So the launcher would interface with the torpedo to load its parameters (what sensor readings to chase, where and when to blow up, or updating its basic functions, ect.) and catapult the package out of the ship. The torpedo/probe/casket, once outside the ship or while still flying through the tube, would then take over from there; activating its propulsion system and doing its thing. What this means is as long as the mark numbers match (mk.2 torpedoes to mk.2 launchers) I'm sure any federation torpedo system would be able to fire any warhead as long as the on-board tactical computer is compatable.

[@Zeithri]

13:40 - Okay, but what happens when the forcefields go down, because that's a thing that happens often in Star Trek, though conveniently never when the Bridge explodes or something. Then the power can go out all over the ship yet the forcefields stay by the power of Plot. But from what I understand, if these forcefields would go down, the ship would just get un-maneuverable at best and spinning around at worst.

[@4eversquidsisters266]

Back up physical doors works, I’d expect someone will point this out

[@jonathanlindsey790]

Warp scale really doesn't have any place in STO. The Sector Space area is simply a gameplay hub. Travel speeds are a matter of convenience, not story essential. While it takes you a few seconds or minutes to travel across the map, it should represent days weeks or months of travel. Because they have to represent travel in some way, but no one wants to be in transit for days in a game.

[@Crimsonguyver]

I admit I would have had a 2 parter episode where voyager found a shipyard that they could use to refit/rebuild and have the crew re design voyager along the lines of the pathfinder class integrating the tech they’ve encountered on their journey.

[@randymiller1330]

im wondering why this ship doesnt have quantum pulse phasers as well for extra fire power?..

[@donaldhill3823]

The ship is sexy and he should be proud of it. Makes me wish I had time to play games like STO.

[@Enfiare]

Quantum torpedoes are the bomb.

[@watchthe1369]

quantum warp is an entirely different level of ZOOM, 15 seconds gets you 10000 light years or something.

[@sleipnirodin2881]

New's flash! *Pluto* is a *Icy Dwarf,* not a planet! *[haha! Sorry but that made me laught]*

[@SIG442]

Question for the designer: - Why isn't there a default loadout that would actually match the intended ideas, such as the quantum torpedo launchers mk X's - Would it be possible to add in that bridge that was originally intended? I love that bridge a lot more then what it has now! - I love the ship very much, flying it often and it's really powerful as well. But I do hope there will be a new version with time. One that has more angular shapes like a stealth fighter jet for example. It would be handy to have at least 1 hangar bay added which would be more accurate for the bigger ships of that time. A brand new bridge would definitely be a huge plus, specially if it's looking as awesome as the 2 level bridge that the Odyssey T5 ships have! - With any bridge you choose, it seems all hallways and other rooms do NOT change along side the bridge module change. They all are static and the same per ship and can not be changed at all. Why is this and why have we not seen anything that would make it possible to change this. Also, why not choose the colors for your interior, your own lighting, LCARS etc. Even deciding on whether your bridge officers need to stand or sit or being able to place chairs and consoles where you want them to be. You could design a empty room after which you decide as player what you wish to do with it, or simply choose from the existing bridges. It would also make it possible to unlock bridge modules (chairs, consoles, etc) so that you as player can decide what you wish to use, add, remove, recolor, etc. Which also extends trough out the entire ship. It would for sure make things a lot more interesting and people will explore bridges a lot more as well

[@cwiggy34]

Nerdgasum, Love the Pathfinder......

[@RosyRecluse]

I would love an eaglemoss special of this ship, the 3d printed model is lacking without all the glowy bits, some light piped plastic would do wonders, and a special issue would make it work on the same level as the nx refit too.

[@bsmnt23]

OK, I'm sold. Where do we get our hands on that model and are they to scale?

[@thatHARVguy]

EUCL3D is gonna offer three sizes I believe; 4", 8" and 12". So no, they won't be to scale with other ship models or to each other. But damn, to have my ingame ship in my hands? :-D eucl3d.com/pages/startrek

[@_WillCAD_]

I didn't see any docking ports on the Pathfinder. Is that an oversight, or are they intentionally left out of STO ships?

[@valuesubtracted]

STO ships generally don't have them - in most game situations, they'd be too small to see, anyway.

[@alexm7047]

Awesome ship!

[@CaptainGeronimo]

Do you have ingame fleet "team trekyards" ? also, being big Sovereign fan.. could you check T6 Archon class?

[@legion6733]

The ship model ugh where can I get some of those ?

[@DarthWamp]

Soon™ you'll be able o order them in Star Trek Online. No official ETA though.

[@chrisgwilliam9893]

👍🏻

[@sevtosaze]

beautiful ship

[@jsullivan649]

Transphasic torps need a serious buff.... they desperately need them

[@greyareaRK1]

I must be thick - are all of these designs for STO, and does STO allow for independent design?

[@ethanforster]

This is for STO and you can modify specific designs with different nacelles and parts from other design to create a sort of unique look. But you cant just make your own ships on STO unfortunately due to the limitations of the game needing to actually work as an MMO

[@greyareaRK1]

Thank you. That's understandable, I guess. I've not seen seen an MMO that allowed for that save maybe Skyrim. Would you know if there is a good forum for putting original ST designs out there?

[@johnny26351]

Do the "WINGS" move forward to cover the bridge Does the bridge move down to fit with the wings and Is that for combat or slipstream

[@NostalgiaBrit]

Where can I get a pathfinder model, like that? I need it! NEED, I tell you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Dynahi_Khavu]

He'res a link where you can give it a name and registration. 4-inch model costs $21.99, 5-inch is $29.99, 7-inch is $74.99, 9-inch is 154.99, 12-inch is $344.99 (mixeddimensions.com/gameprint/product/R3DRRoWj47mfFpQe2)

[@SinbadNaiver]

Man, i wonder if you guys are going to talk about the hestia ^^

[@power543]

eventually! :D

[@nelkeranforgeworks7716]

Ever gonna do one for the Aquarius and/or the pilot escorts?

[@JimbobHarrigan1984]

I've got some screenshots if you want them

[@vegeta002]

Reactivating old NX Class?

[@davidspears4940]

so is sto really good

[@devidgodfrid8694]

Bagaimana Pathfinder Class. Pesanan .apa bagaimana.kapan bisa saya kesana langsung meliat zenis2 lain.Franki 👑 PollPRAN:Inasper:

[@seannewboy8612]

I agree this one is a homerun.

[@devidgodfrid8694]

Berapa sebenarnya Harga pathfinder Class.?

[@Pat_Scratchers]

The nitrous comment was far from correct, it’s the amount that physically blows the motor up not the timings

[@polarstar2905]

Love the show, but the English kid bothers me lol. I'm sorry, don't mean to be rude.

[@benkai09]

wait didn't I watch this earlier

[@AngeltyXD78]

probably fix the sound sync issue

[@christophermills7693]

moth ball fleets

[@readhistory2023]

I like the design over all. Doubled up deflector dish and extra landing bays are pluses. I'm not a fan of the color scheme.
