Trekyards EP108 - Danube Class Runabout

[@Fetch26291]

Runabout isn't minivan. It is motorhome.

[@henrynorcrossii3363]

Lonestar

[@spiritofthewolf15x]

The Rio Grande was as much of a "hero ship" as a the Defiant. She out lived EVERY other runabout on the station.

[@Milamberinx]

She also out lived a couple of Defiants.

[@magicstix0r]

She even outlived the Defiant...

[@red2001ss]

In reference to the isolinear chip being pulled and the warp containment failing, its noteworthy to mention that Jake and Nog had already pulled a bunch of others before hand.

[@ironwolfF1]

Sorry, that sounds like a plot tool to me...NO ship sane (and sober) design team would allow a critical flaw like that to go uncorrected.

[@TheMultiGunMan]

This is one of my favourite ship designs from Star Trek.

[@liamwarner5749]

There's a toilet near the cockpit going by deckplans. It also has long term crew quarters amongst its modules so I can see a holosuite in the long term use one. Cockpit - teleporter/replicator - crew quarters - mission specific modules - holosuite to keep crew from killing each other.

[@ethanforster]

I didnt realize how similar in size the Danube and Delta Flyer are

[@clevemc]

Actually, the Danube is a little larger than the Delta Flyer.

[@stevenewman1393]

🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done and very well informatively explained and executed in every way and every detail provided indeed👌...

[@dboymax1]

Picard and crew should have gave Scotty this class shuttlecraft....

[@Scioneer]

I don't think the Enterprise D carried them normally. They probably borrowed the one in that episode.

[@Tuning3434]

+Scioneer I would not dare to bet on it. Apparently the Galaxy schematics show that the entirety of deck 4 is part of the main shuttle bay. There is more than sufficient space to stuff a few runabouts in there. Especially when Voyager can stuff the Delta flyer, Neelix's ship and several other shuttlecraft in theirs.

[@timf7413]

The Enterprise D did have at least one, though perhaps not at the time of that particular episode.

[@clevemc]

That would have been a waste of a fighter ship when all Scotty needed was a transport vessel for himself! The Danube is a mission-critical small starship!

[@NerdWorldEmpire]

There any plan to review the Peregrine class? Loved those little ships ☺

[@power543]

+Nerd .World yes!

[@coecludd]

The rear Runabout section did make it to DS9 as the interior of the USS Prometheus in "Second Sight"

[@Dreadtothink]

i think they reused those bunk beds in the defiant set

[@jasonpowers6092]

I am, personally, still mad there was no USS Mississippi.

[@Milamberinx]

What about the USS Thames!

[@ronaldrobertson2332]

USS Niobrara!

[@kdrapertrucker]

U.S.S. Wabash

[@jasonpowers6092]

Was there a USS Chatahoochee?

[@chuckkline2970]

I think that could be confused with a state.

[@Journeyman.71]

I love the big star ships, and all, but the runabouts are super cool! They're like space-RVs!

[@saijex]

I don't think I've seen it written anywhere, but the Defiant quarters look like they were the bunks and workstation from the back section of the Danube.

[@berthulf]

YES! Runabouts! I love these things. Wish we saw more of the internal space in the shows, but I think they're excellent. Yes Sam, Thunderbird 2 is always kinda what I saw these a bit like!

[@Lokiawa]

Almost didn't notice the missing audio, good job whom ever edited! It's hard for me to remember its actual pronunciation so I just call it Da-nu-bay... I always thought Micro Torpedoes were about 2-4 inches long (5-10.16 cm) given the limited space for shuttle torpedo storage, oh always learn something new from Trekyards.

[@DshibiVideo]

Great episode on this versatile craft! I agree they look better with the sensor pod on top and some of the agility they showed in battle against the Maquis and the Jem Ha'dar. All Danube (dan-oob) runabouts were to be named after Earth rivers, as the Danube is one. The Orinoco was assigned to replace the lost Yangtzee Kiang and the Rubicon was apparently named by Sisko on its arrival at DS9.

[@jolemaire6629]

fantastic design, finaly something sturdy and functional, underrated by most fans.

[@drknight48]

I love these videos! Keep up the great work!

[@StewartBroadcasting]

8:44 Don't Jake and Nog remove multiple chips before that one? If so, they could of removed the backups.

[@todabrilla]

Just an observation but the deck plan at 23:08 does not actually show a Danube-class Runabout. The cockpit section looks similar but the from midships aft including the nacelles and pylons look quite different even taking into account the modularity of the Danube-class.

[@GoodOldGamer]

I sometimes forget how classically cheesy these skits can be. Love you guys, lol.

[@rein1705]

The interior aft set looks like the crew quarters we see in the Defiant.

[@TroySeward]

Great video.

[@KB-vy4nf]

Another nice one, guys. I always wondered about the details of these things. That center replaceable module is very cool. I think if I were the designer,though, I would have buried the warp core inside, as it is very vulnerable to enemy attack on the top. Very nice episode!

[@markplott4820]

+Scott Darby the reasons are that the internal space was needed for cargo and or multimission . however, that problem is solved by armouring it with abalative plates and strong shields. that said, your concept of a buried warp core would work for a dedicated fighter / corvette variant . where the center modjule would be replaced by weapons storage for ground assault. but not for troops due to radiation.

[@NonSequitur404]

Thanks for doing this video. for some reason I always loved the runabout and in general some of my favourite designs were made by Rich Sternbach. Including the Intrepid Class and DS9.

[@schiefer1103]

Can someone tell me where I can get a high quality version of the picture @23:34 pls?

[@Ferox2121]

Great dicussion guys. The Runabout is my favorite shuttle / small ship in Star Trek. And i agree with you. It is a real shame that the aft section set from TNG was never used in DS9. It would have given the audience a better impression of the actual size of this ship. They filmed all scenes in the rather cramped cockpit set of which many would have also worked in the aft section. In Universe i also imagine the Runabout as some kind of mid range personell transport used for travel distances of 2 - 3 days, where a regular shuttle is to small and the transport via proper starship a waste of resources and manpower.

[@inabluemoon1]

Its a writing device. Surprise the enemy. Like when Picard ordered all power at the first encounter of the Borg. That wasn't going to happen again. Why didn't they do this again when it worked here? To keep each episode fresh. I do love the RUNABOUT.

[@dratheart]

I find it strange that with all the technological developments in the 7 years that Deep Space Nine takes place that the Danube-Class didn't seem to receive any upgrades. The Voyager crew managed to build the Delta Flyer from scratch, and it could reach at least Warp 6. The Bio-Neural Gel Packs were also fitted into Voyager by the time it was docked at Deep Space Nine waiting on Tom Paris & Lt. Stadi's shuttle. We also know that Voyager got Type 6 Photon Torpedoes, which were also new and in place by the time they left DS9, better than the Type 5 Torpedoes. Captain Janeway tells this to Chackotay (sp) when they are attacking Dreadnought in the episode of the same name. The only upgrade I can think of the DS9 crew using on the Runabouts was I think originally the writers said there was no way the Runabout could transport more than 2 people at one time, although numerous times after that we see many more people than that beam up at once. In the episode where Bashir, Garak, Worf, and Martok escape the Dominion prison, it beams up all 4 of them plus some of the other prisoners they shared the cell with (I remember a Romulan Female) so that would be at least 5 at once, right?

[@johnwang9914]

Anti-deuterium is an interesting choice as it could not be magnetically contained. Had they chose anti-carbon, it could be contained by diamagnetism, had they chosen a conductor such as anti-aluminium then they could contain it with Eddy currents. Of course producing anti-matter in atoms even deuterium would be incredibly advanced technology that we can't even conceive of today. Good thing it's Star Trek where fictitious force fields unknown to us could be used.

[@Sephirothwolf]

I always used to think of the Runabout as a shuttle too but they're really closer to a corvette in terms of ship classification, wish they had actually mentioned that in the show.

[@Ryeguy123a]

+Sephirothwolf runabouts and corvettes shouldn't be used in the same sentence. It just feels wrong... :p

[@Gauntlet1212]

The size comparison with the work bee made me realize how large the runabout is for the first time.

[@thribs]

Can you imagine if they had a Thunderbird montage every time they launched the ship? The music would quite nicely I feel.

[@Taz.B]

This is by far my favourite starfleet craft!!

[@henrynorcrossii3363]

A lot of the vessels in Star Trek appear to have some British Sci-Fi tech. They seem to be bigger on the inside.

[@Gomezli16]

Wow this thing is cute and convenient! The RV of Star Trek! I want one!

[@WakeRoberts]

The runabouts are more akin to scout ships than shuttles even though that was what they were primarily used for on screen.

[@rarevhsuploads4995]

I first saw TNG Timescape long after watching the full DS9 run and aside from being a good episode kudos points were earned when it showed the rear compartment. It's always perplexed me that the set had never been used in DS9? Yellowstone class was my favourite, I'd want one in the shuttle bay along with a Delta Flyer.

[@Booboobear-eo4es]

The runabouts are so cute they ought to called the "Norbert" class.

[@ArchangelApollo]

As far as the mission specific posts go, we wouldn't have even needed to see the sets. Here's how: ~The designers come up with a list various mission pods, obviously some with more functionality than others. ~With the three runabouts, DS9 is given 3 A-type pods, 2 Bs, 2Cs, and a single D-H. (keeping min mind storage) ~The Rio Grande is assigned pods A, B, C, D ~The Gange is assigned A, B, E, F ~The Yangtzee Kiang is assigned A, C, G, H ~When a Runabount is selected for a mission, the order is given to attach the appropriate mission pod. We could also get lines saying they wished they had another pod.

[@SpiritOfBagheera]

LOVE the Runabouts.

[@shinjofox]

The runabout is what a warp shuttle should have been in the first place. If you look at the time you can travel at warp with normal shuttles you can't get anywhere in one at least not on an inter-system journey. Whereas with a runabout you can.

[@seanmcdougall3336]

Good video. Saw a concept pic for the Franklin this morning for Star Trek Beyond. Be cool to hear your guys thoughts on it in a video.

[@xavierprotocols]

1:46 In the pic you have of the multiple shuttles beside each other the Delta Flyer seems out of scale, the Runabout should be bigger if it can hold 40 people in an emergency.

[@Trekyardswebseries]

Well the Delta Flyer can hold 30 people in an emergency.

[@CybershamanX]

8:30 I believe that Jake and Nog took out more than just one chip before their warp core decided to become a little finicky. Still, one would think that there were some other safeties built in so that just such an occurrence wouldn't happen... ;)

[@Jack_Stafford]

Regarding the question whether there had been any scenes where there were multiple identical copies of a hero ship, In "the ultimate computer" there were scenes of several identical hero ships, other than their registry numbers of course.

[@Jack_Stafford]

Ironically, you guys even referenced the mark 5 computer from that very episode! LOL

[@JamesFuentes526]

The Star Trek Online Yellowstone class looks like something Hordak from the 1980s cartoon would ride in.

[@jeroenromarius7150]

It's classed not as a shuttle but a starship. (Source tech manual) They are the smallest ships within the fleet. That's why they have their own registry number. Anyway, I love them and I would love to have one and camp out on some remote planet.

[@antr7493]

Is the red part in front of the nacelles a impulse engine, so you can reverse engines?

[@ronaldrobertson2332]

Bussard collectors.

[@ericmorgan7]

Very cool episode! It always bugged me we only see the back of these ships ONE time! And it's on TNG! Did you guys make that graphic of all the small craft in flight? It would make an awesome wallpaper.

[@leonielson7138]

There's a Honda Element in Washougal, WA that's dressed up as the shuttle Galileo (NCC-1701-D/7)

[@melotronv4]

I would love to have a personal runabout

[@markplott4820]

+Carmelo Aleman (Melotron) I prefer the Starfleet Vulcan shuttle Atai from the Motion picture, it can hover on a planet surface , it can be aquatic modified, or it can mount phasers and torps.

[@melotronv4]

Mark Plott can you please add a link so I know what exactly you're talking about

[@markplott4820]

I don't know ant direct links, however an example of the Vulcan shuttle was used in The Motion picture, with a warp sled . the Vulcan shuttle is a adaptable craft available in multiple configs.

[@PerryWhyte]

The only episode I recall with identical hero ships in a single scene was "The Ultimate Computer"

[@NephritduGrey]

Well and this episode with 324 thousand Enterprise D's, I wonder if the Yamato Episode would also count, not sure about exterior shots. All good things would have at least two there in a scene and hmmm... Not sure I can think of more right now.

[@kdrapertrucker]

The doomsday machine

[@findernightrose]

I always had the same feeling about the Runabouts. They are definitely not a Starship but they aren't really a shuttle. I ended up treating them as I guess you were supposed to. They bridge the cap between Starships and shuttles. Basically so you don't need to use the resources of a starship but a shuttle just won't cut it.

[@SnowmanTF2]

I had not realized it only did warp 5, given how many regular shuttlecraft can do that it seems way too low, especially since it it is intended for much longer travel. Kinda feels like at least warp 7 or 8 should be the minimum given how much more significant engine it seems to have verses them. As far as redressing the aft portion, it looks like that ended up the crew quarters for the defiant with the table part cut off and some of the components may have been reworked for quarters of lower ranks of NX Enterprise crew.

[@neilhorsley343]

Wow excellent deck plan guys at23:14

[@Taz.B]

Late to the game but the Runabout is one of my favourite ships. I have six micro machines of them. I call them Runners Six.

[@markplott4820]

Back when DS9 aired , I came up with a modified concept of a Oahu class runabout . its similar to the Danube class but with a bigger roomier cockpit ( up to 8 seated ) and with a 4 person transporter in the next room. force fields for port and starboard doors. the Habitation modjeule is moved to the center of the ship, with 8 bunk beds , a combination Head and sonic shower, and a one tray replacator. this frees up the aft section to carry swappable multimission modjueles . they and either be droped off on a planet, like a remote habitat, a medical station, a cargo container or many configureations . or can be left without one mounted , so that one can be picked up, similar to a Skycrane helicopter. my original sketches are somewhere in storage along with my other TREK designs.

[@martinbaxter6414]

Mark Plott Where, sir, are the listed specs for this winner? 😂

[@markplott4820]

Martin Baxter Buried with my OTHER fan fiction. too bad Paramount did not hire Me.

[@martinbaxter6414]

Mark Plott I propose that we give Paramount a chance to see the error of its ways. Give me a general location. I'll bring the shovels.

[@neilhorsley343]

That mid section is kind of the defiant quarters size room is that right

[@adamflux2]

I would figure on a bathroom module amidships depending on the mission.

[@biostemm]

What are the large glowing areas under the "wing" struts? The nacelles already have Bussard collectors, so I doubt that's what they are... Maybe navigational deflectors, though there's 2 of them and I don't recall seeing ones that glow red.

[@yobeefjerky42]

They are most likely the impulse drive, or maybe just extra bussard collectors

[@lasarith2]

biostemm I would say forward impulse engines for more manoeuvrability.

[@schiefer1103]

I have found a scene where there are two Defiant class ships in DS9: When the Defiant and the Rhotaren (or whatever it’s called) join the federation fleet after the second battle of DS9, there is another Defiant already im the fleet, as the shot was reused a lot (tho interestingly this was its first appearance, and every other time the „second“ Defiant is the only one)...

[@jonathonearl482]

They just didn't show enough scenes of the interior of these Runabouts in the show. TNG has one episode showing the inside of the Runabout around the center of it. We never see the warp core or the sleeping quarters and other etc.

[@tank_0r]

The sleeping quarters are just bunks. You do see actually them in that TNG episode.

[@jonathonearl482]

Ok, I'll have to rewatch that episode.

[@tank_0r]

You don't have to. They're right behind Geordi if you look here. 19:04

[@evanbelisle8464]

It’s like they saw Spaceballs and said “that but for real”

[@derekmcmanus1423]

What about the Shenandoah?

[@xineohpinakc264]

I liike the rounded look. It reminds me of those windows from Amityville Horror.

[@dustintucci2606]

DS9 answers waste extraction and sonic shower questions - I don't remember the episode name but Quark complains about the quarters and worf keeps telling Dax to tell the Ferengi to go back to his quarters

[@NovaScotiaNewfie]

Aesthetics are a secondary concern. Ships are made for a specific purpose like military equipment. Not made to "look good".

[@wa5019]

I want this condo with warp drive.

[@briansouthparkstudio1357]

you forgot the upgraded to the wrap core and nacelles that allowed for wrap speedes of up to 8.3

[@CJSReviews81]

Great episode guys :) I just noticed an error in the DS9 clip u showed about the computercore, when O'Brian closes the hatch, you suddenly see a cable appear just behind the transporter pad, probably one of the camera guys :)

[@CybershamanX]

6:38 Albeit briefly, you can see all of the runabouts at the beginning of episode (or series. Sorry, Samuel. :P ) 5x15 you can see all three runabouts together along with the Defiant and Dukat's Bird Of Prey... That's the only time I can think of for now... :/

[@msbae]

Do we really need to insult the Danube class by comparing it to a Mini-Van?

[@TDBoedy]

Yeah ST's PHASERs seem to have the power to carve continents through thick atmospheres but are like pop guns in space sometimes. Other times they slice and dice things for no reason. They are Directed Energy Plot Devices. Torpedoes seem to have a more understandable power curve of Photon/Plasma > Quantum > Transphasic with Tri-Cobalt being dial-a-yield sub-space weapons that rend and rip at space to destroy things. It was stated in ST Destiny Synthesis that Tricobalt weapons are governed in use by the Khitomer Accords and requires the command staff to be unified on its use since apparently its destructive power is so high. Wonders never cease at how starfleet didn't pursue these things as anti-borg weapons far far earlier. Oddly enough Torpedoes seem to fluctuate between being self guided and needing ship telemetry to function. *shrugs*

[@blorbo1359]

My only issue with the runabout design is that it doesn't have line of sight between the nacelles. It's the only Star Trek ship I could see myself living in and using, it's comfy and utilitarian.

[@austin1839]

The ship that Scottie was trapped on was a freighter and much larger than a Runabout.

[@eXcommunicate1979]

Indeed. You can see a bunch of windows along its hull.

[@alaskanchristian4881]

the model however was a modified and upside down runabout which is what gives people the idea.

[@EroomYrrah]

Mekong river in S/E Asia....aka...Vietnam/Cambodia/Ho Chi Minh. Lot of guys went into that valley and didn't come back.

[@fearaday_5873]

I just ordered the voyager from eaglemoss, is it any good?

[@MiG2880]

If I were to find myself in the Star Trek universe, i'd probably try to get a decommissioned starship to do some travelling at some point. I wonder if Starfleet would allow that?... Imagine a civilian acquiring an older starship and upgrading it from various sources. That would be interesting. A Danube class runabout would be nice... Or maybe an Oberth class. An Ambassador class would be amazing in that situation.

[@briansouthparkstudio1357]

Oberth class so you have choosen death then xD but yeah i'd say a Danube would be best as the others would need hundred's of people to run

[@MiG2880]

@@briansouthparkstudio1357 What if you get an old Ambassador class out of mothballs and install holo-projectors all over the ship. Then create a holographic crew to maintain everything. You could even create holographic oompa loompas.

[@jankjason]

I didn't like how STO made it look with the added extra impulse drive on the roof of the runabout.

[@geneiwanskijr5957]

But no deflector dish, so how does it protect itself from debris in space?

[@kennethsumida5264]

looks like a shuttle to me. a Klingon shuttle.

[@jamesmagill5433]

Was skeptical of this mega shuttle at first but grown to love it. Think it is too powerful in armaments especially the episodes during Dominion War

[@sfmoose3655]

I love the runabout but why did you have to compare it to a mini van :(

[@dratheart]

Maybe the Runabouts didn't have a Self-Destruct Sequence, meaning the crew could easily open the hatch and allow a crew member to destroy the ship quickly if necessary.

[@DorkKnight99]

The Rio Grande was the only one to survive? When/how did the Rubicon bite it...?

[@DorkKnight99]

Ah, nice!

[@BON3SMcCOY]

Kira remarked in one episode, "with the rate we go through these runabouts, it's good earth has so many rivers."

[@damianfirecaster7230]

The Runabout is an SUV Space utility vessel.

[@kraig800i]

One chip removed ? ? ? lol imagine if they burn out like Computer RAM chips occasionally do. It highlights how much McCoy truly was a doctor and not an engineer. He would have rarely left planetside.

[@DarinRWagner]

I don't see why it's hard to suspend disbelief that a runabout could tow a Cardassian Galor. It's not like it weighs any more-or-less in space.

[@Tuberuser187]

+Darin Wagner *sigh* an object in space still has mass and is therefore subject to inertia.

[@DarinRWagner]

Tuberuser187 Whoop-de-poop. The Enterprise's tractor beam could push a small moon around. The size difference between the Runabout and a Galor is far less in contrast.

[@Tuberuser187]

+Darin Wagner *chuckle* never said it couldn't tow it, simply pointing out your junior school level fallacy and how bitter you are about it makes me feel warm inside.

[@DarinRWagner]

Tuberuser187 Not sure what you're talking about there, but if you feel warm inside that's good, right?

[@alaskanchristian4881]

NO suspension of belief needed at all, SCIENCE is on the SIDE of the runabout, this idea that a tiny ship can not tow a Large one in SPACE is from the mindset of Water AIR and planetary Gravity. We are NOT talking about a tug boat in the ocean

[@surplusgavids]

How can the roll bar fire full aize torpedos? They are the size of a coffin. Even if they could be fired wheres the storage for them? Great episode. I loved the danube class

[@Trekyardswebseries]

Could hold like 6 in the roll bar. Rear could also act as storage then they could be beamed into the tubes as well.

[@surplusgavids]

+Trekyards For an in universe idea, beaming in torpedoes during battle seems a bit far fetched. I cant wrap my head around that.

[@Trekyardswebseries]

+surplusgavids well not during battle I am sure. lol. Like I said 6 torpedoes would generally be all that would be required for any battle. You either win or your dead by that point. And they would be beamed in to a loading slot. Not the main tube.

[@dratheart]

+surplusgavids I thought in the episode "The Jem'Hadar" Jake Sisko asks the computer auto-pilot to take them back to The Wormhole at Warp 8, and the computer doesn't say it can't reach that speed, just that since he deactivated auto-pilot it couldn't comply. As to Torpedoes, I think they were under the main part of the Runabout with up to 4 full-size Torpedoes. I think the DS9 Tech Manual says the mission modules can be used to carry additional torpedoes, which the Captain of The USS Odyssey asks to be done by Chief O'Brian who says he'd already started the upgrades.

[@mbmajor01]

Iv always conscripted to the idea of later in the Star Trek universe DS9 voyager etc, they could replicate replace torpedoes very very quickly so during battle you fire a spread the computer would auto replicate new ones.... Use a lot of power but still seams logical

[@PrinceSilvermane]

Something that bugs me. In DS9 Did we EVER see the inside aft compartment of the Runabouts? I always remember seeing the front but never the aft. What was with that? Surely if they made the set for it in TNG there's at least one that could be used in DS9 too.

[@TalesOfWar]

I guess the story never called for its use, or it was a budget thing. TNG was the place all the money went.

[@bsmnt23]

Is there a Romulan or Klingon comparable variant of the Danube?

[@ericmorgan7]

Check out the Lanora class scout ship seen in the TNG episode "The Defector"

[@conroypaw]

In the DS9 episode "In the Pale Moonlight (Season 6), Romulan Senator Vreenak arrived at the station in a shuttle, which is described as "approximately the same size as a Danube-class runabout" on the Memory Alpha website.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Romulan_shuttle

[@askaniuk]

something slightly out of the box....but I find the Danube class similar to the eagle one's used in space 1999 ...multi mission configuration, with detachable central modules, landing pad deployment and command module separation..

[@chrischeshire6528]

I agree with you with the similarities between the Eagle One and the Runabout, and so does NASA. NASA wants an Eagle type ship to use on a base on the moon.

[@jamescottone9882]

It looks like it could eventually grow up and become a Galactica battlestar.

Danube it has photon torpedo's and shields the NX Enterprise had nukes and up graded phase cannons not even a match a photon can tear thru polarized hull plating

[@tedsheckler100]

The STO runabout kinda looks like it was hit by a buss. Too many jagged angles all jumbled together.
