I do not like separated parts because it makes it impossible to travel from one part to the another without teleporting.

[@mikenapier3598]

Wait till this guy finds out about transporters....

@mikenapier3598 You didn't read my comment to the end?

It looks like an impressionist version of Voyager, nothing interconnected but you fully aware that it just belongs.

LOL

[@MichaelHeal99]

I wouldn't mind a new series that takes place in the 32nd century since Discovery is ending

[@davidarmes2684]

I love this class and this era of starships. This class is my main ship in STO, she's a beauty!

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

I love all starship classes of all eras :)

[@linz8291]

Recently I've seen 32nd century starship series many times, and to be honest, jumping into 32c is a good journey between terran and galactic neighbors. If we assume there always been millions of galactic members traveling between 20th to 87th century, obviously, 32nd to 36th century are very popular alternative timeframe to earthlings. Space journey is so wonderful, keep it up.

[@Drinksalotobeer]

Thank you, TriAngulum Audio Studios! While I don't get into some of the newer Star Trek shows, I do enjoy your channel and how you bring about different scenarios. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

[@connornitchie1027]

While the constitution class is my personal favorite 32 century design, this one is definitely up there.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

I love both :)

[@francischarron4218]

It's also my favorite, but the intrepid is second best

[@Razorgeist]

I feel the same way.

[@dennisdean7366]

Discovery's arrival in the late 32nd century is fortunate happenstance.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Like most things in life!

[@evertonporter7887]

I wonder if the Discovery crew will meet the doctor from Voyager in that century.

[@Silverfoxwolfen]

I'm definately not a fan of the deatched items, be it nacelles or starship components. It just seems... like a pure design choice to show how far the technology is ahead of what we saw before. The same with the whole Burn idea... really didn't add to the series or set up anything as an advance. We had such a great chance to see the time of Daniels, the temporal wars from the other side and Captain Braxton and the like.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Actually it makes sense since we are already in the process of things like Charging phones without wires...

[@DarthRagnarok343]

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios I was thinking it would be cool if the different pieces of the ship had something like Iconian gateway tech connecting them for the transfer of resources and personnel.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Love em both :)

[@nathanahedgehog2871]

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios I do wish to see a Crossfield made in the 32c instead of a refit. One of the concept for Discovery A resembled this Intrepid II with the main and sec. hulls seperated as well as the naecells

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

With 1 season left, I dont really see that happening,... Also, this is NOT an Intrepid II, it is simple Intrepid according to current canon!

[@taw1967]

Maybe it makes some sort of 31st/32nd century engineering sense to detach the nacelles from the main body of the ship. It makes zero sense to do it with the primary hull and the secondary hull.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

It does though, maneuverabily as seen in the show!

[@DarthRagnarok343]

It could help with security if the ship is ever boarded. Also it is possible that the energy/quantum/subspace fields that hold it all together is actually stronger than any pylon could be and cant be shot/destroyed like a pylon.

[@JeremyBuxman]

She looks awesome, but the tiny windows make it look like it's got about 200 decks.

32nd century starships are fashion and more efficient than previous types, when Sol system starfleets has arrived neighboring constellations, more galactic neighbors vessels are participates in space development projects.

[@sixsamuraiunitedsixsamurai8640]

[@linz8291]

If a new 32nd century space project has launched, when selected crew numbers has finished their 32nd century journey, they'll jump into year 3301 to Tau Ceti Xeta or year 3426 on the earth.

[@TrentonBennett]

I've honestly never cared for the 32 second century Federation designs. HOWEVER the Voyager-J is actually one I like a lot. The shape of the ship definitely has that Intrepid class design element to it. It's cool they had it as the Voyager-J. Good job on this video.

The Romulans used contained singularities as power for warp, never needing dilithium to stabilize matter/antimatter reactions.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Sorry you are incorrect! Though not used like a Fed Core, they in fact did use dilithium to regulate the power output from the singularity! With out dil, their core would explode just like a feds core would!

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

[@jimb8601]

I want to both like and hate this design. Flip a coin to see how I feel about it at any given time. While not crazy about this era of starship design I will admit they did a great job paying homage to the 24th century Intrepid class.

[@4eversquidsisters266]

I totally understand why some people wouldn’t like the detached designs, but personally, most 32c designs works real neat for me, especially the friendship class and this- the 32c intrepid

[@Lucofthewind]

The one thing I never got, (and maybe I just missed it?) but even voy times stsrfleet knew of different types of crystals to use, and even the Romulans used a alt energy source. Why not use that?

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Because the Romulans used Dilithium in the sub matrix to regulate the power output!

[@Lucofthewind]

[@BoisegangGaming]

I know people will say the floating parts are stupid but i like them as an evolution of starfleet technology. Would love to see holograms and replicator technology integrated into this era of ship design (i.e. rapidly-replicated ablative armor, holographic weapons, etc.) because seeing Starfleet's technological and social progress is kind of the core of what star trek's message is about. Also, technologies tend to make similar things less similar. A boat from today is entitely different than one from 600 years ago, even if it has similar shapes.

[@RememberTheChase]

I think the 32c ships are amazing, such cool designs. Also much more unique than any other era which I think it's a step in the right direction.

[@jerrylee7898]

First one, yay!

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Congratulations!!!

[@Daginni1]

I hate the 32nd Century classes. They're just... shapes. With lights. You'd think that as time went on ships wouldn't need to be utterly massive. Otherwise, good video.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

First off, becoming simple shapes makes sense, look at our own history to see how that happens... Second, not all are massive, the Intrepid for example is smaller than the 23rd Century Excelsior Class... And massive ones DO also make sense, as they are no longer just starships, they are great cities in space! Third, otherwise, thank you 😜

[@The1ReviewBoard]

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios If you look at the evolution of Cars for instance. They definitely became smoother looking as time went on with the changing designs over the years. The shapes and lines became smoother. Cell phones went from big bulky things to round, smooth, smartphones.

dilithium is far from the only way to achieve warp drive, the romulans have being doing it without dilithium for centuries

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Sorry you are incorrect! The Romulans used dilithium in the Submatrix of the Quantum Singularity Drive to regulate power flow!

[@DarthRagnarok343]

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios My understanding was that when the Romulans left Vulcan they didn't have a steady supply of dilithium which lead them to further develop fusion reactors, since those dont need dilithium. They greatly advanced magnetic and gravity control that allowed them to develop singularity cores, no dilithium needed. Perhaps latter they used dilithium as you say to improve efficiency, but I don't think it is needed fundamentally.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Your understanding is incorrect and really doesnt make much sense... Why would the Romulans who are leaving Vulcan agree to leave in Peace without Dilithium! There is nothing in canon to support that idea at all! So yes, Dilithium is and was needed in all Faster the Light systems in 1 form or another!

[@lukeallan6527]

I always think that the gap in the secondary hull is actually the portal for the shuttlebay. All you do is fly into it and get teleported right into the docking bay. Saves on having an open vunetable shuttlebay door.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

It isnt though lol

[@dennisud]

Given this was the 32nd Century there should not have been many shots of San Francisco and more of Starfleet headquarters in its various forms. I patiently await the Star Trek: Academy series as we should see more of this Voygaer and other 32nd Century classes in that series.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

I'm not sure what you mean, given the story starts in the 31st Century, while Starfleet was still on Earth and in San Francisco, please explain! Also the Era that the series takes place in has not been discussed or confirmed by anyone connected to the show! It could very well be in the 22nd Century for all we know!

[@Kreachie]

The Intrepid-Class is a brilliant ship and has come a long way. I can see this as a future evolution of the original intrepid, 5th iteration seems about right? so I usually call it the Intrepid-V-Class, same with the Constitution and Merian-Classes, Constitution-VIII and Merian-IV respectively. former Since we have Constitution, Constitution-II, and Constitution-III, and we see the Original Merian-Class in the Star Trek: Destiny Novels which take place in the “First Splinter” Timeline, given how they look compared to the Start-of-the-25th-Century vessels and that the Original USS Curie was one of its members, it’s safe to assume the original Merian-Class is Canon aswell to a degree. I’d also like to take a Look at the Mars-Class, from certain Prospectives, it’s Clear to see her Ancestor is the 24th Century Saber-Class!

[@TheBrewjo]

I've been mulling over the detached hulls and nacelles for awhile. Excellent renders and narration as usual but I think I just find them too visually disturbing to be immersive.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Thats unfortunate given that with current technology trends they actually make sense... See wireless charging!

[@JusticeGamingChannel]

Warp 9 seems so slow for a 32nd century ship

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Warp 9 is it's standard safe cruising speed, and since the ships are also Transwarp and Slipstream capable, nothing more is really needed!

[@randallphobia8698]

I accept that the ships in the distant future would have a different aesthetic. I love several of the classes, bit this one is near the bottom. It looks like someone was trying to render an original Intrepid class on a 90s era computer, but quit early on. Oh well, the fandom should be open to different tastes. More power to you if you like this.

[@sometimeslucid5593]

I just dont like the detatched thing... I just don't like it.

[@huntedwolf]

the thing i dont get about the whole dilithium boom thing... at this point in the timeline the romulans have joined the federation (or atleast are peacefully cooperating with) so theres already an easily accessible replacement to dilithium based drives.... singularity cores, and even if the romulans were out of the picture are you telling me the federation cant figure how to recreate 700ish year old tech?

Sorry you are incorrect! The Romulans used dilithium in the Submatrix of the Quantum Singularity Drive to regulate power flow!

@TriAngulumStudiosAudioComics I haven't watched much of discovery yet. So is it like a thrust vectoring sort of thing, where the nacelles can be angled independently of the hull?

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Ahhhh, you should give it a watch, even if it's just to stay informed ;) And that's part of it, but simply to maneuver out of the way of a projectile and also it follows current technology trends, see wireless charging :)

[@afoolandhismoneychannel]

So in 1000 years, the Voyager-J is no faster than the original?

I can understand the nacelles, but why have two separate hulls is plane stupid in my opinion. I could understand it if it was designed like the Prometheus. And it was a combat option.. but don't ask me my opinion on that ship :)

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

It isnt though, as it makes sense for manoeuvrability! Plus its a development of current technology, See wireless charging!

it uses parts of the Prometheus multi vector mode , just here all the parts have their own shield emitters and power sources designed to "move away from the shooty or boomy thing in its path" if the threat is deemed to be to dangerous to take head-on.

[@tehno_thefallen386]

@@tabxtra7057 As our lore and design master said, yes they can function separately to certain extent. It would make sense since Starfleet experimented with separations and functionality of both parts for quite some time. Consider it as an evolution of technology made possible with programable matter and other breakthroughs. And in the end despite lore reasons we need to factor in the design request from the studio to make the ships distinct in a way.

It is not living in an echo chamber to point out the flaws ina haters logic! And it's also not shutting anyone down! It's called educating!
