Talk:Intrepid type

The only thing we really know about this shiyp type is that one of the ships in "The Expanse" and obviously the same ship in "Twilight" was called the Intrepid. All other specs are conjectural. The assumed length of about 170 meters is about correct, though.

Armament

Please provide canon evidence for the Intrepid's armaments. 'They come from another website' is not canon evidence. -- Michael Warren 21:38, 23 Jun 2004 (CEST)

The armament and class infformation comes from www.bravofleet.com's database, i believe it to be true, your 170 metre length is also conjectural, please take this into account On www.bravofleet.com there are also specifications and history for the triangular ships also seen in "Twilight" and "The Expanse" the Venus Class

Bravo Fleet is not canon. Whether you believe it or not is, quite frankly, irrelevant. We can say that the Intrepid has phase cannons, but that is about it. The length is based on visual comparison (I believe, although it may be background info from Foundation Imaging). The class speculation is also invalid. Unless we see one on screen and they say 'That's a Neptune-class ship', we can't connect the two. -- Michael Warren 21:51, 23 Jun 2004 (CEST)

Well, for now, write in 3 Phase cannons then

Phase cannons only, no numbers since we don't know those either. -- Michael Warren 22:04, 23 Jun 2004 (CEST)

Specs

It's been a while since I looked at this article, but what's up with the annoyingly precise specs? There's absolutely no basis in fact for a precise length figure of 178.10 meters, because there's no official source to provide such information yet! I have therefore revamped all of the specs to either "approximate" figures (and clearly noting those as such), or removing them entirely and noting them as "unknown" (as in the case of the crew complement, for example). I believe that at least some of these specs previously came from DITL, but I can't prove that. Anyway, the table should now be much more in line with what little we actually know about this ship. -- Dan Carlson | Talk 19:57, Sep 8, 2004 (CEST)

• • We've got the FX-shot of the Intrepid on the page; Assuming it utilizes the very same nacelles as the NX class we can directly compare the top-down views of both ships; And with the NX'es length known (225m), we can measure the size of the Intrepid directly.

TNG Technical Manual

The Intrepid looks like one of the drawings in the Technical Manual for the Nova class starship.

Does anyone have any possible reasons why this ship hasn't been upgraded to the newer warp 5 engine? Is ti possible to have it upgraded? (assuming it is a warp 2 vessel)

Upgrades are always possible, it's timing, supplies and personel that matter. The design of the Intrepid (especially it's warp drive) may not permit the installation of a Warp 5 core without extensive modifcations to the Warp Nacelles, deuterium/antideuterium tanks, injector assembly and other warp drive related objects. There is also the possibility that the Warp 5 core is greatly larger than that of a Warp 2, so the Intrepid engineering section may not even be large enough to fit a Warp 5 core. All in all, there are a lot of factors. Enzo Aquarius 23:28, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Older than NX?

The Intrepid is presumably a somewhat older starship than the NX class I doubt it : archer says enterprise is a huge leap forward for earth because previous earth starships were slow (warp 2 or a little bit more). Intrepid has lots of features similar to NX class, i guess it was developped simultaneously as a smaller counterpart. --rami

It's widely accepted, though I admit I don't know the source, that the Intrepid is of the NV class, which predates the NX class. --Simon

"Widely accepted" is not the same as canon. The registry NV-01 and the term "NV class" has never been referenced in Trek, at least not to my knowledge. --From Andoria with Love 03:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
