Neglected Ship Farragut

[tri]

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.


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.

It was a Nebula class ship.

I believe the Borg destroyed it in William Shatners book.

The ship class was featured a lot in DS9, I think Sisko was on one of them

EVERY ship in Generations was a non-Connie.

The Nebula class was featured often during the course of the Next Generation series. It was first seen as the USS Phoenix in the episode "The Wounded."

I though I heard the Farragut mentioned as a victim of the Dominion War on DS9.

The Klingons destroyed it during their attack on Ajilon Prime. Bastards.

This reminds me, when Generations came out I was about 10 years old. Having seen very little of TNG at the time, and therefore having never seen a Nebula-class ship I thought that the Farragut at the end was actually the Enterprise-D saucer on some sort of emergency saucer carrying repair ship.

 

[Jack Bauer]

I think the Nebula class ship is quite fugly.

 

[RoJoHen]

The Nebula-class is basically a kitbash of the Galaxy-class.

I thought that to when I first watched even though at the time I was vaguely aware of what a Nebula class was, I just didn't realise that ship was a Nebula and not a Warp sled of some sort for abandoned Saucers.

The ship was going away from the planet and it was not a E-D saucer which was a hideous blueish color.This looked more appealing and,I thought I wanted you,to appreciate it as a better vessal then the Voyager class which was generic looking but instead you say it was fugly.

I think you need to a picture on your desktop for it to grow on you.

It was highly compact,and gave a holding to my chest appearance,as it clutched the engines,and secondary hull to it's belly.

It had a very distinct appearance that is why I am in love with it.

Too, many, commas.

Which one are you talking about?

No 3

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.

Hah, me too. I was almost totally new to Trek when I saw Generations at the cinema (I was about 10 too), having only seen a few eps of TNG beforehand.
I imagine quite a few people must have thought this if you're not overly familiar with Star Trek, presuming it was some kind of warp sled

This might be a good day to stop sniffing glue.

Yes...of course...the ship.

THAT was what kept Voyager from greatness!

 

[misskim86]

HEY they could replace Janeway with Kirk! OH EM GEE!

 

[Forbin]

Interesting trying, to, read, sentences with, excessive commas in, all the wrong, places. It's like, listening to William, Shatner.

I always happened to like the Nebula Class, I thought it looked awesome at the end of Generations...that classes 15 sec. of fame (literally) I suppose.
