Starfleet's MULTI-Combat Ship - USS Prometheus - Star Trek Starship Breakdown

My favorite class. In STO I named my prometheus class after my daughter dubbing her USS Aurora

For some odd reasons i like this ship and its design, i too play STO and was very glad this ship was added with its multi vector assault mode, i soar the galaxy alot with Prometheus.

Typical Starfleet engineers " we're going to make the toughest ship in the Federation with advanced ablative armour, then fit WINDOWS over the ENTIRE HULL "

STO has a nice update of this in the form of their Hestia class in my eyes. I do like how in a way this suggests just how OP the Akira can be when Starfleet need to handle 3 D'Deridex and the stolen Prometheus. They send two production model Defiants and a single Akira to take care of all 4/6 ships.

I thought I was the only one that felt that way. This is clearly an “OP” star ship. 😁 loved this essay ❤️.

Disregarding the multi-vector assault mode, the unified design is one of my favorite Star Trek Designs. With MVA action, it starts to look far less cool, never mind the in universe shenanigans necessary to make it work. However, I think the underlying concept might have some merit if we make the simple assumption that Starfleet warp cores and general power capacity are becoming ever more efficient/powerful. With this in mind, under most ship designs, your internal volume is going to increase faster than your surface area. Now there's the possibility that you can just continue to stick ever more powerful phaser strips on, but there may be some unknown limit on phaser emitter strength vs efficiency. This might make it more effective to increase you surface area via splitting your ship for combat, while keeping it combined might (and apparently does) give you better warp speeds and efficiency. shielding

All they are missing is the USS Daedalus and can both link up to a larger Starfleet ship that transforms to a huge robot named STF-1. 😂 Or it can join the EDF in it’s fight against the Goa’uld or Ori.

We will never see this ship again as this era of Star Trek is done

Little known fun fact about the Prometheus class: because of all the warp cores and associated power conduits literally everywhere, there is only one head, (bathroom), for everyone to share. Cozy.

awesome ship.. i want a series about it.. old tng/voy like trek.. atleast 8 seasons.. please :)

I used to fly one of these on my Tactical officer in STO. I ran the Mirrorverse variant, which was known as the "ISS Shatter-Star". Mirror universe.. starship.. shattered glass. It just kinda worked.

The saucer section should have its warp nacelles that extend from the sides and not the little ones that come out from the top and bottom and the main nacelles should extend and retract like an x wing fighter

Dude! The USS Prometheus, WASN'T 'launched', she was 'STOLEN'.

imagine a war story series on a prometheus^^

Love this channel. dude cracks me up.

PERFECT explanation of registry numbers!

So the ship was supposed to be split into 5 parts; interesting. I wonder, did the person who came up with that idea happen to work on something voltronish or rangery by any chance?

You love this guy’s style of narrative

Tobe honest, I like the USS Prometheus, the fact it can split into 3 and keep working is amazing.

I'm ready to see a federation capital ship that can dock like 10 of these babies
