In his TV series 'Cosmos,' Dr. Carl Sagan had his 'Ship of the Imagination,' but for many of us of a certain generation the Enterprise was OUR 'Ship of the Imagination,' able to go anywhere and show us the wonders of our universe. I grew up with the Original Series Enterprise, but after meeting her 'new' incarnation in ST-TMP I quickly came to accept the 'Refit' ship as the Enterprise. I watched that movie on a big screen in Honolulu with my new bride a day after we had stood on the pier in Pearl Harbor where CVN-65 was moored, standing next to the ship. On the big screen, the starship appeared as huge and magnificent as the aircraft carrier. Thank you for "Resurrecting" her and rendering her so beautifully.

"My God Bones, what have I done?" still tugs at the heart to this day.

If I was one of those engineers involved in rebuilding the Enterprise after coming into dry dock, I would stand in awe at how well the nacelle supports were able to withstand the heat of re-entry into an atmosphere, but also for the fact that the starboard support was able to remain intact when the ship crashed AND was able to hold up the weight of the ship that was hanging in the air. I'd be like "whatever is inside those supports, lets just make the whole ship out of that too."

Had the same thoughts. Pragmatically, they were talking about decommissioning the mostly intact ship after STII, they would be even less likely to wrench her off the Genisis world and rebuild her even more extensively....

To quote Scotty…..”No bloody A, B, C, or D”….The return of the regal lady named Enterprise is a joy to be seen again.

I've always thought that the best scenario for a recovery of the original Enterprise would have been if she bounced off the atmosphere of the Genesis planet and ended up floating somewhere in space. I don't think there would be much left if she crashed on the planet with no structural integrity or AG fields running, I remember reading somewhere that the weight of the individual coil elements in the warp nacelle's is immense, I don't think the nacelle pylons would withstand that kind of crash in a planetary gravity.

@MK0272

2 жыл бұрын

Agreed. That's definitely plausible. Maybe she is found floating in space by a Pakled or Ferrengi ship and returned to the Federation during the run up to the Dominion war. Due to damage to the automation system, the self destruct sequence did not properly function and the damage was confined to the saucer section. This left the engineering section mostly intact except for hull scorching when she skipped off the atmosphere. Starfleet's mobilization for the Dominon war includes an increase to their ship repair capabilities as well as reactivation of mothballed ships from depots such as we saw in TNG. They happen to have a Constitution class saucer section that had separated from its engineering section due to a calamity, so they join it to the relatively intact Enterprise engineering section. Perhaps the saucer is even from the Enterprise-A. Additional phaser arrays, torpedo launchers, and shield generators are added, and she is made a part of First Fleet guarding Earth, Vulcan, and core planets under the command of Montgomery Scott. From there the adventures begin.

It should however be noted that the self destruct system could use some rejigging. It would appear to be less than thorough. :)

I wish this is how it had happened in the movies. But, this timeline leaves me with a few questions. 1. How did they get Spock to Vulcan to transfer his Katra from Bones? 2.

nicely done. as a septuagenarian, i grew up on ST:TOS, then migrated to ST:TNG and have clung eagerly to every iteration since. Kirk turned 91 this year, rode into space for real last year. We lost Nichelle this year, so now we're down Spock, McCoy, Scott, and Uhura. Like losing family.

When the Enterprise sacrificed yourself to save the crew. There wasn't a dry eye in the theater. I think that affected everyone more than when Kirk and Spock died. There with no Star Trek without the Enterprise. She was the most important part of the series in the movies. 💖🥰

If it means anything ... from this 70 year old who still remembers watching the very first episode of Star Trek being aired ... this was .... BEAUTIFUL ... Thanks so much.

The 1979 design is, in my opinion, significantly better than most of the others that we've had in the last 20 years. This was nicely done, though the designer of the self destruct system would probably have some awkward questions as to why the ship not only went through the sequence but then also crashed into a planet, but was salvageable.

This is great - and has the best warp speed effect they ever devised. Thanks Hike!!

I cried more over the Enterprise self destructing then I did Spock’s death, and I was pretty emotional when he died.

That scene from ST 2 always gives me the chills. Also always loved the fact that they brought back the destruct codes actually used in TOS. Great vid, the animation was fantastic

To quote Spock "A distinct possibility" Very good concept!! Star Trek's soundtrack never disappoints. That in and of itself is a story.

Love it, really touching...was actually hoping for something like this as a 10 year old in the interim between SFS and VH.

Many thanks, for what must have been a labor of love in order to put all of this together. I think it is a beautiful “retelling” of what happened to the Enterprise after she was “self destructed” in order to thwart the dastardly Klingons.

Excellent. May she rest in peace. She was a lady until the end. Christopher Lloyd made an amazing Klingon.

Nichelle Nichols, you've finally come home....may your jump to Warp be glorious!!! We miss all of you who have gone before us, where no living man has gone before! Jimmy Doohan, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, and The Great Bird Of The Galaxy, Gene Roddenberry, and his beautiful , talented wife, Majel, along with musical genius James Horner, you are all sorely missed, and will never be forgotten. Gene gave us an awesome gift, visions of the future, and what happens when humanity works together to overcome challenges. We can't thank you enough, Gene...And thanks to Hike Animation, for letting us have back what we lost, at least for a little while!

Damn you, you made me tear up! That was flawless! And Seamless! All the video and audio perfectly smooth! Incredible!

Beautifully recreated from the best films. The models and scenery are gorgeous.

Very nice cgi. Always loved and hated the scene of her burning up in the sunset. Great story

Mylex and Hike! You naughty people! You reduced an old man to tears this evening...a blubbering mess. In light of the new 4K DE version of TMP this is just a wonderful and heart string-tearing adjunct! I just loved every second of this and I have sent links to all my Trek-loving friends. Your work NEVER ceases to amaze me! You achieve studio quality from home PCs and it is amazing! I hope the studios (especially CBS and Paramount) see this and offer you the chance to turn your work into a money-making profession. Bravo!

Finally I now know what a primary adjunct looks like. I've been wondering ever since I heard of a tertiary adjunct.

Delightful, in one word...!!! Oh, the nostalgia of the best of Star Trek times...!! Congratulations, your work is outstanding...!! Perfect match for scenes and dialog (specially from the scenes taken off the Grissom)...!! Love it...!! Love it all...!! Nice touch bringing the executive shuttle too. Nice little ship...!!! I'm delighted...!!! 🥰😍🤩💞👏👏👏👏👏

AWESOME with NO 'A' on her post -recovery hull !! 1; Beautiful!!! REAL, true-to-spirit STAR TREK!! 2; VERY well done work!! 3; I was HOPING you'd use the Classic Movie Warp Entry...and SO happy to see that!! Perfect choice!! Liked and Shared so others can enjoy this. This is a work of Love, that's clear and your love of True Star Trek shows!! ((HUG))

At my age, I'm have zero problem admitting that certain scenes got me misty-eyed. Excellent re-interpretation and excellent editing. Well done.

Waited in line the day of the premier with my dad. I was in shock when the enterprise was destroyed. As parts blew up i kept thinking, ok, ok not so bad, we can fix this, until watching it burn up in the atmosphere. Cried all the way home. Didn’t matter to me they had saved spock, or that david had died, all that mattered to me was that the enterprise was gone.

she didn't burn up

This is Star Trek. I have no Idea what Discovery is supposed to be. Nicely done, as always.

Extremely satisfying work, and really nicely follows up on the self-destruct-didn't-destruct-the-whole-ship angle. (I always wondered why the destruct system was so unreliable that it was pure luck that the Enterprise was next to a planet to finish it off.) Please keep making these superb animations! LLAP

Actually there are 2 versions of destruct. Destruct 0 and Destruct 1. Destruct 1 uses a warp core explosion to completely destroy everything causing all sorts of radiation etc. it is used away from planetary bodies etc. destruct 0 used here is for populated areas. It’s designed to destroy the computer banks for security and scuttle the ship in atmosphere as done here. Safer near planets for life there. Kirk needed to protect Genesis at least until he saved Spock and got everyone off the planet so he used destruct 0.

In mr Scott's guide to the enterprise its explained that there are 2 self-destruct modes. One that is ment for open space that goes up in a big fire ball. And one ment for if the ship is too close to a planet or other objects in which smaller explosives are detonated in all primary systems and key structural points to render the remains dead and useless.

back up destruct systems. one would vaporize it instantly but could cause collateral damage from the antimatter explosion plus radiation.....the 2nd one would be more conventional using explosives.

This may be the space equivalent of “scuttling charges” destroy/disable key systems so the ship “sinks” into a planet’s atmospere, where she’ll burn up.

This is a much better way to end this story. I never liked the idea of an identical appearing ship. That was a major slap in the face.

No one can beat Captain James T Kirk of the USS Enterprise when he's on board his ship and commanding alone on board.

Great work. I really enjoyed the final shot and the warp effect you used. You made it look like it was on fire jumping to warp.

Same animation used in ST:TMP

Very nicely done! I’d rather watch this over and over than anything that’s had the name Star Trek attached to it since 2009. Nothing beats those classic actors, that music, those visuals. Beautiful!

In this age of Kurtsman "Trek", this little piece of What if... is more majestic, beautiful, and respectful to what Trek is it buggers belief.

Nice re-use of the USS Grissom scenes. If you had never seen the original, you might think those were shot for this. :-) And I agree with others, the scene where Kirk sees Enterprise entering the atmosphere and says "My God, Bones, what have I done?" is still powerful to this day. The man loved his ship.

Utterly fantastic. Re-imagining some of these scenes was just lovely and brought a tear to my eye seeing the old girl restored to her former glory. LOVED hearing the amazing James Horner scores too. Best video yet HIKE :)

Just one problem - who put Genesis planet back together after it EXPLODED?

Great alternative story. The visuals are gorgeous and the what if they were able to refit the Enterprise again... I was just curious about how the Miranda class ship arrived to s non destructive genesis planet.... But it's still great and I loved it

Mawkish, sentimental and boomerish. That said, I'm a mawkish sentimental boomer and this was fantastic storytelling. Seeing the original bridge crew fly the NCC-1701 after the self destruct in an alternative timeline was a thing I never even suspected I would see. I'm going to dub it 'The Hike timeline' and hold it close to my heart! Thanks.

As a fan of Star Trek since I was a child, this made me smile so much. If this happened, I would have been so happy!

This was beautifully done. I always had this idea that during an episode of Voyager they discovered an 'asteroid field' that contained some metallic parts that were definitely Federation. Here it was the remnants of the Genesis Planet, and the metallic was parts of NCC-1701. The matter in the planet made the debris travel at a fast rate, and it could have led to a discovery to help Voyager get home faster. Whacked, but fun.

Chakotay: Captain we are approaching a rather large astroid field. Janeway: on screen *screen views the astroid field* Tuvok: curious, I am detecting large amounts of tritaniam and duranium in the asteroid field. Large enough to potentially be a starship. Chakotay: distance Tuvok: 5000 kilometers off the port bow. Janeway: Mr Paris set course for the debris field, there may be survivors. Paris: Aye captain. *cuts to Voyager navigating to the debris field* Tuvok: we are in visible range of the source. Janeway: on screen. *screen magnifies onto a mostly stripped starship hull* Chakotay: Mr. Tuvok can you identify that vessel? Tuvok: it appears to be a Constitution Class Refit. Tuvok: I am now reading large amounts of Protomatter in the asteroid belt as well. *Janeway turns to Chakotay* Janeway: well now we have a mystery, we need to figure out why….. *Paris interrupts* Paris: Captain there’s something gold in the debris field flying towards us, by the size I would say its the ships plaque. Janeway: have the transporter lock on and beam it aboard, as soon as it is head for the nearest source of protomatter. Paris: aye captain *Janeway goes to the transporter room and sees everyone with stunned expressions looking at the plaque. She picks it up, herself now with a shocked expression. Quietly she exits the room and returns to the bridge* Chakotay: problem captain? Janeway: no Chakotay: did we identify the ship? Janeway: yes Chakotay: well, what was it Janeway *still in shock*: USS Enterprise, Starship Registry….. NCC-1701 *the rest of the bridge crew turn in shock and awe, as Janeway displays the plaque*

Superb. Brought me to tears as I still can't bear to watch the scene of the Enterprise being destroyed to this day. We after all lost another major character in the space of two films

I still love seeing this Enterprise going into warp. Beauty In Motion!

“My God Jim, that’s one of the best fan films I’ve seen!”

Whoever did the animation for this fanfilm could certainly teach the big studio heads a lesson or two! Live Long and Prosper ! :-)

Simply brilliant! Love the concept, love the story and most of all love the ending!! Take a bow!!

Good to see Scotty and the gang together. RIP Lt. Ohura.

A loving alternative and very well done! 2 things bring tears to my cheeks, dog movies with sad endings & seeing the whole original ST crew together like this....Kudos!

While I don't think it is possible the Enterprise would have survived the crash... Let's just speculate she would. This is so amazing and I can see how much love has been put in this 'what if...' Thank you for that, this has brightened up my day!
