It's not that nutrek isn't old Star Trek, it's the fact it's _all_ relying on old Star Trek in the form of a lazy, creatively bankrupt derivation of old Star Trek. Beyond that it's terrible scifi and terrible storytelling. The writing is poor and the science is pulled straight from the writers' asses.

[@onixfieroandscalemodelworks]

Fantastic work. From the era of star trek when the shop designs actually made sense.

[@keyboardt8276]

They never did

[@chemicalburn]

The ship designs made sense in the era where the filmmakers actually had to make a model and had a limited budget with which to make models. Now every hack can make another “ship design” in CGI and it costs nothing.

[@hastekulvaati9681]

@@keyboardt8276 “They never did” Awe boo.

[@hastekulvaati9681]

@@chemicalburn 100% agree. The need to endlessly reuse models also gave the Star Trek universe a visual consistency. Something it has now completely lost. Of course some models were overused. It was odd that Excelsior class still seemed to be a frontline ship in the TNG era. But generally it worked. Seeing the ship designs in ST:Discovery is like seeing a cowboy in a film about the English Civil War.

[@keyboardt8276]

​@@hastekulvaati9681it seems the showrunners are criticized no matter what they do; when they showed a fleet of Inquiry class ships people called it the copy-paste fleet; they decided to mix things up a little in response and people say they're randomly putting in different ship classes

[@DLiberator78]

Beautiful starship in keeping with the aesthetics of TOS. Excellent animation and warp effect. Great work.

[@paulaburrows8660]

That was beautiful. A wonderful design from the best era of Trek Starships. Looking forward to the continuing adventures of USS Krakatoa.

This is my favourite ship aesthetic in Star Trek and the Krakatoa looks a fine ship. Stellar work! Live long and prosper.

[@Aetrion]

This is beautiful! Great ship design too. I love the motion picture era aesthetic.

[@keanueraine]

Jerry Goldsmith score over the top of this sells the torpedo boat hard. Scores can do a lot of heavy lifting but the attention to detail on this model and the movement of the camera give us an almost studio level beauty shot by themselves....well done.

[@_WillCAD_]

There are a lot of great starship flybys on KZbin, but this one gets closer to the ship and shows more detail, more realism, than any I've seen. This is what the TMP flyby would have looked like if they'd had the tech in the 70s.

[@danielfoster2339]

A unique and beautiful ship design, and studio quality graphics, well done! 🎉🎉 can't wait to see more.

[@GhostOnionHead]

Gorgeous design! Hands down my favorite era of Federation Starships.

[@RebelMerc]

Truly a masterful job of rendering art work. It is a beautiful ship. My only thought on a negative is the ship should not leave space doc so quickly. It would not be safe and it should be more like what happened with the Enterprise. Slow and stately. But that said a hardy "Well Done" all around.

[@scottfw7169]

Just assume the video "was edited to fit length or time constraints" as some things announce.

[@SamwiseOutdoors]

I love that the design elements are somewhere between TOS and TMP. It's gorgeous.

[@angel_quinones]

It's a lovely ship. But every time I see the word "Krakatoa", I can't help but think of that one Spongebob Episode... 😂👊

Very impressive visually… one constructive suggestion: the “whooshing” sounds of the worker bees and shuttles are distracting, particularly in that there is no air in space… perhaps a humming of their engines as they pass by would be more “natural”

[@holden88]

Amazing work! Allow me to be nitpicky (which should be seen as a badge of honor). 1) Where is the warp core and main engineering located? The most logical place would be right above the warp nacelle pylons. However there doesn't appear to be near enough room Between the huge looking shuttle bay at the rear and the botanical gardens and the impulse section towards the front of the secondary hull. Also, there is a travel pod docking airlock on either side at the prime location for engineering. 2) The navigational deflector is meant to be pale white at rest and then turn increasing shades of blue as the ship speeds up. 3) where did the docked travel pod go when the ship cleared space dock?

[@michaelwhite7876]

I love the swooshing sounds of the shuttles as they fly by in the vacuum of space.

[@scubasleeve3497]

Not my favorite starship design/configuration, but the aesthetic fits in perfectly with the movie era ships and the rendering is absolutely AAA movie quality. I've seen lots of similar videos out there but this is probably the most professional/realistic one I've seen. Amazing work.

[@stargazerblue186]
