  • If this ship is classed as a battle cruiser, then the federation shouldn't be allowed it.

    They were banned from creating battleships. Call it a deep space exploration vessel.

  • @HarakMolova Inter arma enim silent legis !

  • @tekktunes

    I don't really speak latin to be honest. Anyone care to translate?

  • @HarakMolova My english is not good enough, but i think it means: during the war, the laws are silenced.

    The Eximius was build during the Elorg war in the beginning of 25th century, because it was necessary to have an extremly armed ship.

  • @HarakMolova I dont think they were banned, Gene Roddenbury just didnt want his show to be about warships. But after he died we started to see "Tactical Vessels" like Defiant class, Akira class, Intrepid (Voyager) and Sovereign (Enterprise-E)

  • @mattwho81

    Check the lore. The federation was banned from making warships/ battlecruisers, etc

  • @HarakMolova How do you define warship, Are you thinking that it must have a clocking device? (Which the Federation had indeed signed a treaty against) When i say Warship i simply mean a vessel configured primarily for combat, but not exlusively so. For example the Voyager had science labs and physicists aboard, but in the pilot was officially classed as a "Long Range Tactical vessel". Also it didnt have any families aboard... at least not at first. 

  • @mattwho81

    No, a battle cruiser is anything created primarily for battle.

    The federation were banned from creating them. They got around by calling most of their warships Deep Space Exploration Vessels. Have you noticed that the designations for all starfleet vessels have nothing to do with combat?

  • @HarakMolova Then who banned them? Their ships were built around a "Go anywhere, do anything" philosophy but wasn't that gene roddenbury's choice. The Defiant was described as "Over gunned and over powered" to explain why they didnt pursue that design further. But i cant remember an episode where they were actually banned.

  • @mattwho81

    I don't remember which treaty it was but they weren't a go anywhere do anything force. They were peace keepers. They had dozens of directives for various things. Are you even talking about Starfleet??

    Check memory alpha. They are a Peace Keeping force, so why have Warships and Battlecruisers. They used names such as Tactical Escort, but no Warships because it gives off the wrong message.

  • @HarakMolova Ah No meant that ships could go into any situation and deal with any problem. Any starship could go on missions for Science, medical, diplomatic or combat, (except Defiant of course). Whereas klingons had ships dedicated to specific tasks... though we never did get to see a klingon science ship :). Anyway i think we can agree on this, the Federation built their ships that way out of choice, it was part of their philosophy. But some ships gave more emphasis to a certain role.

  • @mattwho81

    Do Klingons even care about science? :P

  • @HarakMolova Well a society that has developed warp drive must have someone around who knows science :) Their roughly similar to ancient japan, you think of Japan you think of samurai, but you cant have a society all warriors! Even though the warriors may dominate the culture and government someone has to grow the food, build the ships and develop new technologies. Jadiza Dax said the "Klingons are as diverse a people as any".

  • @mattwho81

    Aye, they obviously do have a science department otherwise they'd die at every stellar phenomenom.

    What I mean is they never appeared on screen, so they probably weren't that important. I just picture a Klingon in a big white lab coat...... with a batleth strapped to his back.

  • in theory the advantage of this ship class being streamlined in its designed actualy means it would hold up better than the intrepid under the quntam stresses of the slipstream tunnel

  • What year was this ship built? This seems like it would be far after Enterprise E...

  • @smcneal057 2399

  • @EmperorRyu1

    Definitely after the Enterprise E by that time it would be the Enterprise Z 

  • lol n Seven said that this slipstream stuff was ofc similar to the transwarp technology used by the borg but yet in star trek 11 some of the JJ universe ships have a similar warp jump effect to this.

  • I really like your eximus videos. keep 'em comin'

  • How was this made?

  • With 3D Studio Max

  • Really? Was it a particle effect or atmosphere?

  • None of them.

    I use tube polygon, and material effect to create slipstream texture and motion. (tube polygon doesn't move)

  • Ha! Wow. I never would have thought of that. Thanks.
