Im back! (Sort of, anyway.)
Okay, lets get back up to speed. Bring your questions, and Ill see if I can bring a guest or two.
STARFLEET TACTICAL is the YouTube show where we talk about the intersection of naval history and science fiction, with some gaming occasionally thrown in for flavor. Primary host Chris Weuve is a naval analyst and wargame designer, whose superpower is that he can talk about Real World(tm) navies and science fiction navies at the same time.

Starfleet Tactical #198: ASCENSION class (and other!) Dreadnoughts [July 18 2026 @9pm ET]
The last two episodes looked at the Belknap class strike cruiser by Todd Guenther (published originally in Starship Design and Ships of the Star Fleet), and a derivative design, the Athabaska class exploration cruiser, as well as some variations. (And since the Athabaska class incorporates a Knox class primary hull (itself expanded into the Miranda (or Avenger) class, we looked at those, too.)
This week, Chris will look at another derivative design, the Ascension class dreadnought. And since the Ascension class is predicated on the old Franz Joseph idea of a dreadnought being a three nacelle design, well also looked at Franz Josephs design, Guenthers TMP-era version of it, and other three nacelle designs.
Be sure to invite your inner 12-year-old s/hes going to want to see this.

Starfleet Tactical #187: The Combat Implications of Point-to-Point Stardrives [28 Feb 2026@9pmET]
Star Trek famously has an FTL drive with few limits, other than top speed. This is not the only option, however. In this episode, we will look at the military implications of the opposite extreme of star travel the point-to-point systems used by Jerry Pournelle is his CoDominium books, by Michael McCollum in his Antares trilogy, and Steve White (and others) in the Starfire universe.
