the side view at 0:24 is just beautiful!!

[NightwishRaven999]

Yup, I like 2:01 up to 2:18.

I used the NX-2000 Excelsior for that part.

She seems to be gliding peacefuly in space ; )

I used the Uss Valley Forge from Ds9 in most of the video. They are all pretty neat.

Thanks for the comment ! : )

A fitting replacement/suppliment to/for the venerable Constitution-class. I love the original design, though it would've been nice if when they appeared in ST:TNG, they were updated to look like they had been upgraded for the mid/late 24th century e.g. phaser strips and shiney blue engines (I realise they did this in ST:DS9)...they looked kinda dated in ST:DS9...HOWEVER...the design is wonderful and is still one of my favourites.

[NightwishRaven999]

I personally didnt like the Ds9 ones as much as the TNG era ones. I have also never seen a phaser strip on any Excelsior class ship.

As far as I know, they still only use phaser banks and were not made to have phaser strips/arrays.

I agree with you that the design in wonderful though...it is indeed a good replacement for the Constitution class.

Thanks for the comment...

[NightwishRaven999]

@jadetraveler the USS Centaur that appeared in an episode od DS9 is the type of ship you're describing.

[jadetraveler]

The Excelsior class ships are some of my favorite in Star Trek.

I think it would be cool to see an Excelsior with a cloaking device. Also, they have the Miranda class based on the Constitution-class ships and the Nebula class based on the Galaxy-class ships; it would be cool to see a similar small ship like that based on the Excelsior class.

An excellent tribute. Certainly does the Excelsior-class honor. Before the Enterprise-E launched, these had been my favorite ships in Star Trek. Indeed, it was seeing the USS Excelsior in Star Trek 3 that drew me into this Universe to begin with.

[walkerharoldjr]

I agree that the Excelcior class was a beautiful class. I also believe that it was like a big cruise ship. If ever in battle it would be slow and clumsy. Thats why by the time Enterprise C came around they were already going smaller. Enterprise D was the ticket. Galaxy class made it possible for a large ship to handle difficult situations.

They do rectify the defult in the refit class. With bussard collectors which dont glow red

[therealboogienightz]

@NightwishRaven999 So why doesn't the Excelsior class have a Buzard Collector? I think it would look better with the red glow in front of the nacelles.

@NightwishRaven999 So whay doesn't the Excelsior class have a Buzard Collector? I think it would look better with the red glow in front of the nacelles.
