(79)The NX Freedom Class

i never really like the story of the NX freedom just doesn't fit like the first warp 3 ship would more then likely been the warp-delta class warp 4 intrepid then warp 5 NX class though not cannon makes more sense then the freedom class

Bad movie, but this version of the ship is better. Less steampunk.

Was the attempt to have the "open design" in your story and result in any way influenced by the push towards open design in businesses in current day?

Bro the freedom class felt so slick and more modern comparable to that intrepid of TNG era and sleekness of it's design makes me wonder how good a TNG generation era of that class would be like

thank you very much for nice BETA- The NX Freedom Class Video

Is the freedom class not actually a prime universe ship because the Kelvin universe started to exist when the events of star trek 2009 started. So everything that happened before should be prime universe.
But I could be wrong.

Neat video! Love these Beta Video's.

I've always had a soft spot for that NX: Intrepid design. Would love to see a Beta on that ship and other "NX" type starships.

Warp 4 isn't twice as fast as warp 2, it's 8 times as fast, why would they think it only require twice the power? That sounds odd.

The Freedom class is my favorite ship design of the Modern Star Trek Films.

Am I blind or does this class not have a deflector dish?

ME in the Theater: " That is a Loknar class Frigate!!
Everyone around me: ????????
Me showing my age lol.

This video is full of FREEEDOM!!

On the plaque is say that this class starship is a Kelvin Class starship not the The Freedom Class starship and the the starship is a Kelvin Class Starship.

Love these episodes. The stories you create for these movies are always excellent! Truth! ;)

Too bad he couldn't use Sabotage as quiet background music when the ship charged the swarm. : )

Love the new lore, I bet the Excelsior NX-2000 lived through the events of Star Trek Beyond instead of the Kelven Kirk.

"2 of the team's junior memebers", AKA a couple of red shirt- err red lined shirts...

I love this episode…the Freedom Class is a fascinating design. However, I do have one quick question…was the fate of the USS Franklin the same in both timelines or did they suffer different fates altogether? Just curious.

Honestly my favorite ship from the kelvin timeline movies, probably because the third movie is the best of them, and this little engine that could played a big role in saving the day.

One of my favorite designs.

Love this ship.

Honestly, I think this thing is a dumpy little boat, but I still enjoy hearing the stories regarding the various technologies used in these ships and their evolution through the years.

Can you do the Niagara class ship next ? I love three nacelle ships.

Little?

Also, how do you think it is that the NX freedom class served for 40 years while the NX Enterprise would serve for only ten years before being mothballed?

I was wondering any chance on the Yorktown class Starbase as Transwarp engines make transport and moving plus new Deep Space outpost to support it as a forward operating bases for the 5 year missions while also Starfleet aggressive expansion and support

While overall a space colony unlike the Spacedocks but design to support and build new classes of Starships

Overall Starfleet rapid responding thanks to the new drives gives these bases wide coverage

My issues with the NX Freedom is, well first the NX part of the name (never understood why Enterprise was even called the NX class, kinda lazy if you ask me) but then there's the registry. It's the NX-326. With Enterprise being the NX-01. Then there's the whole U.S.S. Freedom when U.S.S. only came into play after the founding of the Federation and even at that point Enterprise became the S.S. Enterprise.

Another great class! Good job

So does the freedom class cone before nx01 enterprise?

I still can't figure out what was going on in the movie with this ship. They were using music to disrupt/confuse the robots. Did that make them explode or did this ship have way more firepower then the Enterprise? I had asked this question on another video only got a responsefrom person who didn't understand the question.

Shite design

The Class seems to be logical, but I'm not sure that the Vulcans would have let Starfleet build it.

OTOH, Enterprise, as much as I liked the series, FAILED to explain WHY the Vulcans held Earth back for a Century. Yes, it was briefly touched on in Season 4, but the creators missed a golden opportunity presented in Voyager for a better explanation. In Voyager, Humanity launched Freedom One as an unmanned Warp capable Deep Space probe. As an unmanned probe, Earth may have equipped Freedom One with a Warp Drive that would have produced lethal amounts of radiation for a crew. The Vulcans may have felt that Humanity was pushing too fast after First Contact and wasn't prepared to handle long range interstellar space travel.

Flash forward to Enterprise. According to Voyager, Earth had contact with Freedom One for decades at least. Given the Warp 5 engine, why couldn't Enterprise have been sent to follow Freedom One and establish First Contact with Species encountered?

One issue here: it would not be 'USS Freedom', the USS prefix didn't begin until the founding of the UFP. Ships became SS under the coalition, but the ship on launch pre-Enterprise would just be the 'Freedom'. After the Federation was founded ships still in service then would have received the appropriate prefix and registry numbers.

You know since it is from before the divergence. It should be the same in both prime and kelvin timelines.

nice seeing the pre federation ships! are you also going to do the Warpdelta?

Odd that the NX-326 would come before the NX-01.......

so as far as i am aware the kelvin films are now treated as a separate universe with its own divergent history pre old spocks arrival so this class may not be canon in the prime continuity though just to be safe we should probably just think of it as canon until someone directly says otherwise since its canonicity doesn't actually change anything major

The Franklin ended up playing a pivitol role in the Kelvin timeline if memory serves 🤔

Great video. I really like this ship design, but think it’s design fits the TOS/TMP era. The hull design has a TMP look and has some similarities to the Miranda class when looking at it from the front. I could see it as a scout, or attack, ship during the TMP era. I could see the scout ship USS Columbia in the first movie being this class.

In the other case. It should be considered as inspired speculation and not connected to the main constant of the original prime Star Trek universe.

Stellaris Mod Star Trek Horizons uses this as first science ship for the federation

Loved seeing it in action in Star Trek Beyond.

🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done indeed and very well informatively explained and executed in every detail way shape and form possibly provided indeed, And I myself like the Freedom class starship's and I own 2 of the model kits of it by Moebias and the Eaglemoss model and the Hallmark one and another one that came with the Blurey from Beyond as well,👌.

"...a giant green hand." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Freedom class served in the early federation by then it lost the NX moniker

The freedom class is the ugliest design in trek history.

When I first saw this ship in a trailer, I thought this was the NX-01. Of course it's not. Still, it reminds me of the NX-01. The Freedom class is a cool little ship.

I just really wish that the producers of new trek had not been so committed to having an actual viewport for the bridge. It just messes up the continuity of starship design canon

TriAngulum, do you think the fact that Starfleet tends to order its starships in batches of 13, including the Pathfinder, has something to do with them not all making it home again?

You should write ST books. Great video as usual!
