The ship shown in extreme detail at the end of Generations has never been discussed.It was called the Farragut and it was shown as a non-connie.

From the angle it was filmed,from it looked,totally magnificent and is I believe,the ship that should have been,used in,Voyager instead of that turdish looking intrepid class which,had,no screen presence,at all and looked generic and run of the mill.

The non-handsome looking Voyager ship I believe was a,contributing factor,in the lower ratings as I believe the ship is the star of the show and beauty shots of the ship can,generate a sense of wonder and awe,if done properly,with the,correct music,allowing a lasting impression.

The USS Farragut is the,best ship.I wonder if it possible to replace all,USS Voyager ship appeareances by this instead by using some kind of automated program.I hear they are remastering TOS.By remastering Voyager they could edit in new footage,of this ship instead and it,could find a new audience and fanbase and make,money for Parmount too.


Discuss if this ship should have been used and also write how you loved it from the angle shown and what impressed you about it.

By "non-connie",I assume,you,mean a Nebula, Class, and I'm quite sure,the,ship has been discussed, before.

Considering,the Nebula,Class started out,as, a kitbash of the Galaxy, no,I,don't think it ever had a prayer of being used in a series. Considering Voyager was supposed to be a brand new ship kind of precludes the use of a ship class that's older than the star of TNG. And the idea of remastering Voyager to swap the hero ship out is not that plausable.

I will agree that the ending shot in Generations was gorgeous and that the Farragut looked great.

The Farragut? It's a Nebula class. A contemporary of the Galaxy class, Cheyenne class, New Orleans class family. Ships like it have been shown throught TNG and DS9, as a "ship of the week". WHat do you mean by a "non-connie"?
That it was not of the Constitution class? There are a lot of ships that are not constitution class, and the Connies would have been out of service for a while by the time of Generations. They have been remastering TOS for a while now. And, to remaster remaster Voyager with a different ship would screw with Trek Canon and the show itself completely. Voyager is an Intrepid class ship, and the look of Voyager is what an Intrepid looks like. Would you please explain what you mean a bit more, I don't think I understand what you really mean.

I missed out on the first row. Now a second one has come my way....

... i thought he left over that tripe BS about STVI...

anyway, to humor you E, The Nebula is too huge to be the hero ship of Voyager. *pulls info from his ass* 750 peps crew according to DITL... *pulls more info out of his ass* Intepid's crew around 140...

Now think about this: 750 peps vs 141... and how many marqui were coopt'ed? 50~60? *does math out of his ass* 141/2= 70 & 1/2 torso + 60 marqui = 130 mixed coopt'ed folk... (assuming they burried the torso guy. 'course if it was ass down then they could cap the end and have a portable fun toy of TV alien necrophiliacs...)

that's the Voyager crew for the series (and you get to see the ones who actually got paid during the run)


NOOOOOOOW how about this: *does more ass-tastic math out of his ass* 750/2 = 375 (sorry, no ass hat for you) + 60 marqui equals... yep you guessed it, a whole shit load more peps you'd never see cause that's a whole lot more peps to pay to get on the air, you see. plus it be alot more boring because the ship being a nebula would either end up stuck on a planet due to rating or resource management or they would have pulled a equinox themselves since it's clearly evident the bun would NEVA get command of a BIG-ASS SotL like a nebula class

wow, a flame, a slap at Voyager AND coining a new term for myself: Ass-tastic. think i'll call the woman and gloat... [Big Grin]

I liked the way Voyager looked. Plus there are many more substantial reasons why Voyager failed to live up to its potential, which I hope we don't bring up in yet another thread. Also, Torso? I haven't seen the 1st episode of Voyager in a long time. Am I missing something?

Replacing Voyager with a Nebula class ship, or any older ship would be pretty dumb. Voyager was supposed to be top of the line, with advanced technology that other ships lacked. Any way, the Intrepid Class flowed with the evolving design scheme of Fed. ships. They started moving away from tall, wide ships to ships that were longer and thinner.

I dont know why the Intrepid-class was designated as a cruiser/light-cruiser though. That damn ship always got owned by the new alien ship of the week. Its more of a destroyer or a frigate if anything else.

Maybe they thought that the technology that she carried matched the cruiser definition more than the frigate or destroyer catagory.
