Along with the Nebula, Defiant and Runabout classes, the Akira is on my list of ships that I would have in my task force for any mission.

Yeah it's definitely a good multi-role Heavy Cruiser.. it's like having a cruiser a carrier, artillery platform all in one

@@trekwars5400 like the Saber Class, there are MAJOR flaws in both designs of these ships. The warp nacelles stick out so far out from the ships, they’re easy targets for enemy fire, stray comets, asteroids, meteors, space junk, debris, etc. In essence, they’re the 24th Century’s answer to the 1970s Ford Pintos. One really good hit on the nacelles, from just about ANYTHING, & the poor ship experiences a sudden loss of power and control, before the damage triggers a massive warp core breach, & the ships automatically & quite happily literally blow themselves up, leaving absolutely NO survivors, whatsoever!! They’re both poor designs. I think the designers didn’t take into account just how easily it’d be to have their ships blow up. I feel the designs need an overhaul. In the Star Trek universe RPG game that me & my buddies play in, the warp nacelles are totally ingrained into the superstructure of the ships, exactly like the Defiant Class. Problem solved. We even bought models of the ships and modified them that way. I don’t know what the designers were thinking…

@@trekwars5400 Also, that torpedo “roll-bar” design is laughable😂😂😂😂😂!! You remember Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan?? The roll-bars on the Miranda Class ships are such easy targets for enemy fire, and will always lead to the ships happily blowing themselves to kingdom come. The roll-bars are MAJOR design flaws!! Im not surprised the designers didn’t think of that!! Those poor, innocent people onboard those death-trap ships!! Oh dear…Oh well…they signed up to die…may as well go out in a blaze of glory…

The Defiant class looks like a Turtle out of a transformers movie but it makes a nice little destroyer but way overrated. If you think about it it's a VW powered with a V8 with a big gun stuck on it.

@neganrex5693 I'd say that's a fair assessment. It always felt like Starfleet's version of a Bird of Prey. The small, mass produced ship.

I always thought the naming convention for these ships should have after the characters in the movie or voice talents from the various dubs. Also maybe Japanese words and names like Akane, Akari, Akaza, Haruhi, Minako, Uzaki, and Hotaru. You know, names American dubbing companies can almost never get right.

I remember hearing from somewhere that the Akira was the oldest of the 'tactical' ship designs. That it was indeed a testbed, but came about as a result of the Cardassian War; my head-canon has it that the Mirandas and even Excelsiors were getting embarrassed, and worse, that the New Orleans class wasn't carrying its weight. Hence there being a big push for torpedo development. The New Orleans getting its tactical pods, Galaxy getting a launcher capable of firing multi torpedoes, and the Akira being a torpedo frigate. Given the Next Gen 'Platter' design of the primary hull, and lots of windows, the Akira does indeed look like it shares more than a little pedigree with the New Orleans - Nebula - Galaxy class ships. Albeit, an offshoot designed for war, as such doomed to remain un-commissioned testbeds--until the advent of the Borg. Some of their technology being newly developed when Akiras emerged during the Dominion War. The Defiant has always frustrated me with being TOO good. It's a not-so-small frigate in its scaling in the Star Trek Encyclopedia, being significantly longer than the Excelsior primary hull; yet its onscreen portrayal shows it being a lot smaller than that. And able to fly and maneuver like a fighter, yet having firepower and toughness approaching heavy cruisers. A hero ship to be sure, but 'having your cake and eating it too' always bugs me.

Where are you pulling those initial graphics from? I want to say the Ships of the Line book but, alas, THEY FORGOT THE GOD DAMN AKIRA CLASS in the book?! I have no clue how the hell that even happens but yep, they cover a bunch of other ships and even have a picture of the Akira on the cover AND THEY FORGOT to add anything on the Akira inside the book. Lolol I’m sure that was an awkward phone call when they realized 😳
