Borg cube only 9000 feet long, I always thought a Borg cube was around 2 and a half miles in length
According to the UFP Sourcebook for the TNG RPG there were only 18 Norway-Class ships commisioned as perimeter defense. Because of their high speed they are used also for scouting/recon. So perhaps they just weren't around for the battles around DSN.
Yes, the Norway files were corrupted in the transfer from ILM to Foundation.
When the movie came out Last Unicorn Games had the license for the ttrpg. And I remember wanting the Steamrunner as the ship for our campaign. When I became the game master for the Decipher ttrpg, I was ready to give the players a Steamrunner but they asked for the Akira. Now with the new ttrpg by Modiphiüs, I already made two Steamrunner class ships, for the new campaign. I missed the eagle moss issue that had it. The one that I really wanted aside from the Enterprise A
I’ve always thought of the AKIRA as the Ferrari of starfleet.
HMS, not RMS Sean! One means Her/His Majesty's Ship, the other means Royal Mail Ship. Be funny if the Royal Navy had sent in a postman to take on the Martians. Explains why they lost…
What is it we need to know? That a single properly designed space combat vessel with half the technology could've wiped that entire battlegroup in around 10 minutes at the outside?
Star Trek ships are pretty to look at. But they are irredeemable garbage in their canon roles. And that's not just Starfleet…or even just Star Trek, really. All sci-fi ships are equally guilty.
Edit: Not QUITE "equally. Many sci-fi ships are actually quite ugly.
Don't worry Sean, you're not the only fan of the Steamrunner! Gutted there was never an XL model of it 🙁
Never mind the battle. That shirt… Ohhhh My!!!
My favorite non-hero Starfleet ships:
Nova
Steam Runner
Oberth
OMG I need that tee shirt
I thought it would have been cool if they would have given Sisko an Akira class to replace the Defiant when they blew it up.
Please don't say Eaglemoss again; it makes me sad to think that I will probably never get a model of the Ceritos.
I really wish they stuck to just a few main designs. Starfleet seems to just make one of every ship.
in sto one of my go to ships is the steamrunner. have loved it forever
Eaglemoss 😢😢😢
This was the first top ten secrets that I learnt something new. Ty.
You do not strike me as a total top. 😉
Ooh! That was fun.
I’m loving the top……. You have on 😅
Love how you worked in the sponsorship
11:51 – cubes don't have diameters 🤦
The Norway class is a dope little ship. I may have to log on to my account in STO and nab me one of them for my fleet.
When I first saw the title of this video, I was like, "meh, might be alright, but I already know a ton about First Contact." Boy was I wrong. What a well done, well-cut, well-written video. This thing is an onion, and I loved every minute of it. Thanks a ton Paul, Sean, and Tom!
