(123)The Shepard Class

Very nice. Now that's a solid design right there. Good stuff.

It reminds me a bit of the history of the PT boats of WW-2. LOTS of them were lost but the number of lives they saved and the damages they inflicted were ridiculous. Except, those were plywood boats painted to look like metal giving them a reputation of among the Axis powers general troops that were almost akin ot ghost stories. The Shepard Class, lots of firepower, lots of speed, not exactly the toughest ship out there, but didn't need to be.
Thanks, man! I hope you have a wonderful one!

Awesome 😎

thank you very much for this Awesome! Truth OR Myth BETA video

Now this class, is worthy of song at the Space Dwarf Hunter pub while drinking Tellarite mead. If there is just one thing I would change on this wee ship is the Nacelles to the tubes. Otherwise, she's an fine lady class for all she's worth. Now, my friend, let me tell you about, the USS Asgard, and her brave crew of men and women. ~Chief Engineer Officer Eitri Tellarite crew member of the Asgard

Very cool ship! Great video!

I’m Commander Sheppard, and this is my favorite ship from Star Trek Discovery

Shepaaaaaaaaaaaard class is one of my favorite

this ship looks very good in my opinion and the design weapons and such sound solid.

Nice 👌 enjoyed this one very much

Nice video, is there any room to have beta canon videos on the 24th century starships?

maybe now video of gagarin class frome star trek online?

Have you seen the first episode of Picard season 2?

Thank you so much!i have been waiting for a video like this on this class :D

Second favourite of the Disco era. Yeah it may be a sorta kitbash reimagining of the Walker class but it feels more elegant.

Great video i always fan of the 23rd century Star Fleet more military style agency

I was hoping you'd mention the Gagarin class from STO when you mentioned the 25th century. The Gagarin is one of my absolute favorites next to the Buran class in the game.

Imaginary Beta canon stories are better then Alpha canon stories.
You can do more with Beta canon stories.

Even starfleet honors commander shepherd!!! The great commander shepherd!!!! Destroyer of the reapers and savior of the universe and a specter!!!! Sheps fame goes across universes!!!! The famous commander of the SR-2 normandy!!!!!! 😊

Starfleet's first escort starship.

Will you make a video about the gagarin class, reliant class, sutherland class and ross class now that they’ve been canonised?

The NX class with that color scheme looks great

A bit more fond of the Gagarin take on the design it still proved to be a snazzy looking ship. Your take on a possible background for the class feels rather fitting with what we know as well.

Given how we've had the "canadarm" robotic hand thing on the retired space shuttle..30 yrs ago I might add..it doesn't seem reasonable to me that a civilization hundreds of years more advanced than we are couldnt retrieve ships and tech from yard 39 remotely somehow 🤷
Theres my only complaint lol. Still watched this twice though AND liked it 🤙

Let me guess?

The Sole surviving Shepherd Class from the lineup, and the only one not at yard 39 was the original USS Yamato NCC-1305?

Good looking ship🖖

Please keep these coming. Great visuals, fun narrative, and a silky voice. What more could we ask? 🖖

So with the Shepard's direct descendant the Gagarin now present canonically in ST:Picard, maybe a follow-up is in order.

So that’s where “living in a hallway” style of crew accommodations came from.

Alright, watch time! I just got out of the hospital this morning, and I'm thankful there's a Beta Canon waiting for me! I usually view here on my PC, cause I've got a 55" TV for a monitor! Unfortuately, my roon at the facility was right above the MRI, X-rays, CTscans, etc. So a signal wasn't an option!

Loved the Lore Blog info from Star Trek Online.

One of the best Discovery designs.

It's almost like you knew the modern refit of this class would be making a cameo...

This is one cool design. In fact, one of the best new designs introduced in Discovery. I love, love, love, the update of the design done by STO. Another great episode!

The Shepard class was the first dedicated patrol and emergency response class of the federation?







Yay video :>

I love the lines of the Shepard class, it looks like a practical approach to the Starfleet design paradigm. The pylons are thick and strong [a bugbear of mine is thin pylons that look like they would snap if say the ship was rendered as a die cast model…] and in a convenient location, such a layout could even possibly be landing capable. There's a quasi Klingon/Romulan look in the pylons almost being wings.

It's a shame the basic layout wasn't carried on and evolved, and Constitution and Excelsior (and Galaxy and so on) style language versions were constructed.

It could have become part of the model inventory of Starfleet - they have the Saucer, secondary Hull and nacelles on pylons capital ship/flagship base model to determine the look of a ship's generation.
Then there's the "Miranda" variant that's a saucer with secondary hull integrated into the saucer (or a box structure) that's a workhorse variant of the Heavy Cruiser base model.

And amongst all these variants there's always a Shepard style combat Interceptor that uses the parts bin of the other ships, so they can pump out combat optimised medium ships (classed as attack frigates or destroyers) that can stiffen a fleet, act as escorts (until Sisko designs you know what) and be general Patrol ships in order to keep order. A heavily armed ship that is highly maneuverable and is basically a bigger version of the Klingon Bird of Prey (the larger version that is a upscaled version of their standard design, but is otherwise identical … *Ahem).

One or two of these escorting the main multirole flagship class would make Starfleet a much tougher nut.

Perhaps they did this in the Kelvin timeline??

Ah I can see Section 31 taking this class as its own. 150 ships left? Sounds like a Section 31coverup to me....did I say thay out loud Oh Hi Control did I say anything oh no i didn't say a thing. I don't know anything to talk aboutt anything...
.

I really like the Shepard class it's a really cool looking Starship

To be honest, I find it a bit of a stretch that 400 Shepard class vessels would be constructed by the 2250s.

Yes thats 40 years, and a rate of 10 vessels per year would not be a problem even for this early starfleet. But that would mean that with all the other classes, Starfleet would probably have 2000 or even 2500 ships or so by the mid 2250s, and that seems a bit much. It doesnt fit with the registry numbers of the first Enterprise, and it doesnt fit with the fact that only 12 Constitution class ships were constructed. I think the total number of ships Starfleet had constructed during its existence should not be larger than 1700 ships by the 2250s.

And lets say that 400 of those ships were from the early years of the Federation, so from its founding until 2200, that would leave us with 1300 ships to be constructed between 2200 and 2250. I think thats a good progression. But I doubt there would be 400 Shepard Class ships among them. We have to remember that there are a lot of ship classes in service, and most of them would be of the "workhouse type" (Malachowski, and maybe the older Olympic class). There would also be a lot of construction ships, cargo ships and so on. In my opinion it doesnt fit to have 1/3rd of the fleet be a single warship class for this early Federation.

I think 200 Shepard class warships should be the maximum.

Pfft, Starfleet are such wimps. According to on-screen evidence, all Baryon radiation actually does is kill trilithium thieves.

It's funny because now when I see TOS ships from the original series I see how much more modern they look compared to todays designs. Where you see so much textures and angles and other things you see a much more smooth and refined style in the TOS ships.

I have not always been a big fan of the discovery aesthetic but I am warmer to the shepherd class

I hope that you eventually do a video on the Gagarin class since it's the shepherd's class spiritual successor

Nice video, I especially liked the origin story for the Shepard. I sure do hope the Admiral responsible for amassing a fleet of 151 ships at a single facility albeit for refit purposes was fired after the entire class (!) of starships was lost. Concentrating such a large number of vessels at one facility does not seem like a particularly sound strategic choice to me. ;-) Other than that, again, I enjoyed your story.

I would bet money that depending on the year in the 25th Century that it would be Admiral Picard who would lead the team for the decommissioning ships preserved for hundreds of years that's an archaeologist dream

🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done and very well executed and informatively explained in every detail way shape and form provided on this format and subject matter indeed, And I myself love the sleek design of the Shepard class starship's and I own the Eaglemoss model of the U.S.S. KERALA NCC-1255 of this beautiful ship as well!,👌.

You have to be a part of paramount

I was initially dismissive of the DIS designs, but Shepard Class is an exception. I love how it is basically a military evolution of the NX-class, and was made with defense and patrol in mind, something that Starfleet of 24th Century really could use. In fact, this ship actually made me reevaluate Discovery ships, and give them a new chance

Where can I get more info on this ship
