(TF20)The Galaxy Classes Main Engineering 

One of the chief engineers was fired for being an ass in real life.

LOL

and people are surprised the enterprise-D was lost to a warp core breech...

'Wesley what did you do this time!'

@@SuperGamefreak18 yeah.. that's for the sake of the show. i even more disturbed by the fact, a bop could broke galaxy class armor, which is clearly doesn't make sense. its more logical if the one is vorcha class, but again for the sake of the show, they may didn't have vorcha's model qualified for movie quality.

@@sithlordgaming6692 That's actually not true... The special effects for the show WERE highly detailed, just look at the remastered version of TNG to see how detailed they were... They werent redone like TOS, those are the original shots in High Def... They just appeared lower detailed on screen... The reason the ship changed was because of the sets, they were not designed for movie cameras of the day... Hence why the D was destroyed... However the original Ent D model was changed to be NCC-1701-E before being packed away... Logic prevailed though as the powers that be decided if all new sets had to be built might as well create a new ship... And thus a CGI Enterprise E model came to be... They could have just as easily created a CGI Ent D model for close up shots if they wanted...

He got really good at that maneuver! :) Practice makes perfect!

"A little warped"? Was that intentional? 😀 And I have a theory. Maybe the engineering crew losing it was a result of their surroundings; overexposure to high EMF levels, deuterium and other materials...

Hmmm maybe I should have added that feature to this video :P

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios - Maybe... But you didn't have the impulse? :-P

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios Eh... just store it for an update video if need be. 🙂

Oh you guys! Such jokers :P LOL

Voyager's makes more sense!

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios it's also more elegant

I agree!

And BLT and 7 are there too.

@@thoughtfortheday7811 That's the best part. XD

Except one flaw in your logic is they were constantly doing research in the Ent D's Engineering section! Episodes such as Fist Full and Datas, Birthright P1 and the Minds Eye, just a few off the top of my head... And there are many more... So Unfortunately that breaks your theory... And thank you so much for the support :)

TriAngulum Audio Studios You got me there! They did do plenty of research in main engineering, but I meant there are plenty of other places for this research to occur.

LOL Indeed :P

Yeah it seems like a design flaw to me!

Data could get those chips plugged back in faster than he could recite the lockout sequence he did to take over the ship's command functions.

Dont worry, it's on my to do list!

LOL

Technically speaking, the majority of the stardrive section of the galaxy class is the ‘engineering section’, Main Engineering was the just where warp reactor was and the HQ for the engineering department. The central node for everything engineering related.

Comment makes me think that Robin Williams should have been Geordi's number 2. Robin could have played an alien named Mork.

Probably why that feature is also never seen again on any ship :P

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios lol, indeed. But also, I wonder why didn't they supply kneepads for Jeffrey Tubes, or better yet, rolling or maglev boards? More convenient, and better for the knees.

They probably did, just Troi had em stocked up in her quarters for her "counseling" sessions :P

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios OMG... I need to wash my mind now after the imagery that I have of Troi, kneepads, and counselling! 😂

Thank you so much, and Ill do my very best :)

Originally they were going to have enlisted people but most of the writers didn't understand enlisted so we only ended up with one.

It IS on my to do list :) No worries...

Thank you so much :) Ill do my best :)

Thank you! That seems to be a huge design flaw to me as well... Probably why no other ship has ever used that system again!

Neil Blumengarten And in later season, that was changed as well as the time frame.

Yes that is certainly a huge design flaw requiring auto destruct to be activated in Main Engineering and disabled on the Bridge only. I'm sure we can think of countless emergency scenarios where the Captain (and First Officer) are in neither location to start/stop auto destruct. If I remember correctly, Captain Janeway could order the IMMEDIATE (no timer, silent warnings) destruction of Voyager from any location on the ship if she wanted to... simply because there wasn't enough of that DAMNED COFFEE!

Well there's nothing in canon to suggest that to be true, but it would make sense... But Main Engineering is really what the video is about, and it was seriously lacking for a class that size when compared to ship classes like Intrepid and Sov that have much larger facilities!

TriAngulum Audio Studios absolutely. I just figured like sickbay here was so much more considering the number of doctors and nurses they had. You did point out that starfleet was a bit arrogant thinking they could run that ship with just a few panels. They relied way to much on the main computer.

Starfleet was absolutely arrogant when they built the Galaxy class but didnt make it strong enough to take out a 20 year old defective Bird of Prey even with out shields... I mean come that's pretty bad... So it wouldnt surprise me if that little room was the only engineering facilities they had :P

Well there is nothing in canon to suggest that that is true... Though it would make sense!

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios I know that Sisko said when we were first introduce to the Defiant that the ship was too over powered and that if the same style warp core was used from the Galaxy class what you said right?

Or did I misunderstood that part of the video?

Yeah there was no mention of it ever being the same core as a Galaxy Class...

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios ok I've must of just misunderstood something in the video lol

The Enterprise E id say, as it provided more power as well as the Sov is a newer class! The 2nd Deflector backup makes sense to me... And apparently the Battle Bridge can in FACT serve as another command center for the entire ship! And Id bet the core on the Promo would be VERY different then anything we've seen before... It might even be horizontal given that all the sections can travel at warp independently means they all need cores...

TriAngulum Audio Studios oh yeah I forgot about the MVSM

@@Marcus51090 Multi-Vector Salt Mode? :) Sorry, couldn't resist.

Dustin Hill yes got love Some salt lol haha typo

That wasn't even the bigger problem. That damn warp core ejection system was always failing during a core breach. I guess to service it must have been an afterthought.

Congrats :)

Thank you, Im honored!

You found Engineering to be spacious? I never did, I always thought it was far too small for a ship that size... The Defiant Class has an Engineering almost as big, and Voyagers... well.... :P

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios i mean the voyagers felt more like engineering to me. The galaxy class just felt like it was more a display piece rather than a work area lol

Yeah, I was never a fan of it :P Just didnt seem right...

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios the galaxy class would probably suit more a star liner than a star fleet cruiser lol

Indeed! Trips to Risa for EVERYONE!

That would be a short video, Hello and Welcome, Because of Plot :P

TriAngulum Audio Studios I was hoping someone had covered the “what if” part of that since so much of Star Trek has been theorized, if not brought into reality. Or at least some cool sounding gibberish. 😜

I love the Ent E's Engineering :)

I believe its quoted in the episode Booby Trap of TNG!

No production reason other then trying to make it awesome... and no not a redress at all... Nor was the Defiants a redress of the Ent D's!

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios that's awesome :) I didn't know for sure. I know from time to time they did redresses of bridges.

There is significant evidence of this being done before. Danube-class Runabouts had this feature. Antimatter pods and tanks had their own power systems to ensure integrity until retrieval or their destruction.

LOL I believe it is :)

Its the new Warp Core installed in the Season 7 episode called Phantasms... You know the one where Data has nightmares about Troi being a cake :P

And the one where Picard kept finding excuses to miss the Admirals' Banquet.

That's correct!

TriAngulum Audio Studios As I recall, Admiral Nakamura threatened to send a space-going tug to drag them to space dock.

Well he said a vessel, but essentially correct!

Apparently not, while traveling at warp the warp bubble doe NOT negate the particles... And the warp bubble does not move space around the ship, not sure where you got that idea... It actually drops the ship in to a layer of subspace where the laws of physics do not exist in the same way they do here...

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios Huh, guess I must have just made that up, no idea how that happened! Thanks for the explanation, warp travel makes a whole lot more sense now! :)

:) :) :)

Well that's the beauty of IDIC, we CAN disagree... However, canon supports the idea it was failure because we never see an engineering this size and accessible like this one again :) If it HAD been successful, it would have become the template for all classes!

But how else do you flood the _entirely_ of engineering with -Borg repellent- plasma coolant?

Both. The Core, and or Just the Tanks, depending on the situation. Ideally, if the Tanks were to go critical you'd want all that antimatter to be well away from your ship when it exploded(the combined yield could just about equal the Warp Core going critical). That is if the ejection system EVER worked, it seemed to be extremely easy to jam or render inoperative. They corrected that flaw on the Intrepid class(even made it easy to reinstall the core without a starbase or dry-dock facility).

The Defiant from Deep Space Nine.

The Defiant from Deep Space Nine.

Indeed! grats :)

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios yay!

LOL 4th Actually but grats :)

Im sorry you are incorrect... First off Picard is clear about the self destruct having to be initiated from Engineering... Second name one TNG episode where it was initiated from anywhere other the engineering... Ill wait...

Im sorry but can you tell me where in canon it says anywhere that there were only 4 of the class built at the time, or that the Enterprise was the second one built?

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios you're most likely right all I'm meaning by that is when the enterprise was brand new the class was probably also...wait I wasn't thinking the nebula class was a class built off the success of the galaxy class so...I just made a fool of myself...uhm...whoops...

It's all good, and Im not perfect... So I thought you knew something I forgot... guess not though :) Take Care

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios eh no worries I just pulled a star fleet if anything else, as in yes there was probably not that many galaxy classes when the enterprise first launch but like you said it probably wasn't only like 5 of them around, just like 5 named ones on screen

There is nothing in canon to suggest there is another office OFF engineering... In fact the Engineers office was mentioned in the video... It's the area with the Transparent Aluminum....

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios could have sworn there was ,but maybe it just the sovereign and intrepid that has it

Real Life reasons dont explain away in universe decisions.... So in other words it doesnt matter what the reason was in universe it happened thus the conclusions are sound and canon!

Real world explanations mean NOTHING on in universe videos!
