    Indeed to go from the Bridge to the shuttle bay the turbolift would have to go down, back, down diagonally and then horizontal. Discovery has some limitations in it's turbocar placement due the thin connections between the inner and outer portions of the primary hull. I can't even see if there is enough room to run a turbo car under the floor of the connections - it doesn't seem like there is. Suggesting the only direction the turbo car can go is backwards into the main hull from the bridge - and any turbo car in the saucer is just on a perpetual loop of the outer hull if it exists at all. But the 24th Century USS defiant has a turbolift network and it's tiny so the Discovery should have a saucer car somewhere. I suppose it can be justified in not having an elaborate network on something like a Miranda class though.

This exchange happens after the Enterprise suffers a direct impact to one of the warp nacelles. Geordi: "Initiating emergency core shutdown!" Data: "Core shutdown was unsuccessful. We are losing antimatter containment." Geordi: "We've got to eject the engine core!" Data: "Ejection systems are offline." Boom.

    Geordi was trying to say that the Magnetic Interlocks were ruptured which prevented him from being able to seal off the antimatter containment pods. He could have ejected the core, but he would have released antimatter by doing so which would have also destroyed the ship. Their only option was to abandon the Enterprise.

    It also just makes sense since the ship has much more horizontal distance than vertical. Climbing stairs between decks would be easier than going from the front to the back of the ship within decks. Also, the turbolift always delivers characters exactly where needed and directly connects the bridge to engineering without needing to walk.

    The writers for Star Trek didn't use the Galaxy class to its fullest potential. They had the ability to remove the saucer section and turn the lower part of the ship into a battle cruiser, but during the Dominion War on DS9, every Galaxy class ship you see had its saucer connected. I thought they weren't doing justice to what those ships were really capable of. The U.S.S. Odessey might have just survived, if she'd gone through that wormhole in battle mode!

    They may have been equipped differently. The main shuttle bay is in the saucer section, so it can carry and service a lot of fighter craft with it. These particular Galaxies could have been refit to replace much of the volume dedicated to science and civilian life with tactical systems so the saucer was less dead weight in combat than it was with the Enterprise

    I did know all that. I once had the same book on all features of the Enterprise-D back in the early 90s. I scoured that book back then, to know every feature of the Enterprise-D. You did miss a vital feature, THe Enterprise-D could be controlled also from engineering, on that engineering flat-panel computer, besides from the main bridge & battle bridge. Technically, it could also be controlled from a "PADD", although that would be extremely limited due to the processing power limitations of the PADDs. Also, another very little known feature was that the main computer core had it's own subspace/FTL field generator, so that it could process computations at literally "Faster-than-Light" speeds when the ship was at warp, but also useful during battle scenarios.

    The whole thing was inspired by Franz Joseph's TOS-era "Star Fleet Technical Manual," basically a piece of very elaborate fanfic that got the official imprimatur and was treasured by geeks during the dark time in the 70s when Star Trek was off the screen. Diagrams from it showed up on ship displays in the movies, so parts of it effectively got canonized.

    It's "CETACEAN," not "CETAREAN" - and those whales and dolphins were crew members (or at least civilian specialists). The Enterprise's warp cores each operated in their own static warp field - essentially, the electrons traveled faster than the speed of light. (IIRC, this was mentioned in the season 2 TNG episode "Evolution," when Wesley's nanites are eating the computer core. The entrances to the shuttle bays were actually in the main pylon (the top of the battle bridge); some blueprints show the starboard bay doors as wider than the port side.

    British Ben, you're right. They destroyed the Enterprise D to create a more modern, cinematic friendly ship. Also, Galaxy class ships were obsolete by the time of the Dominion War. However, here's one argument why they could not eject the core in Generations. As you saw in the Voyager clip, the ship was already moving a warp speed and would be almost a light year away by the time the core exploded (even without the core, the ship can maintain a warp bubble and velocity for a limited time). In Generations, the ship is either stationary or moving at low sublight speeds. Perhaps the best course of action was to separate the saucer section and move away at maximum impulse. Then again, maybe they could have ejected the core and moved both hulls away a maximum impulse. I wasn't there.

    Galaxy Class where not obsolete during the Dominion War at all, they had been upgraded so much they where essentially the same as the one we saw in Yesterdays Enterprise. All the Civilian and science facilities removed, it carried garrisons of ground forces and the huge warp core was used to power upgraded weapons and the powerful shields gave immense protection. Finally the huge shuttle bay carried Peregrine fighters, some Galaxy Class ships like the USS Citadel carried Quantum Torpedoes. While the Federation would never call it so it was actually a Battleship at that point, one of the most effective ships the Federation had and they used them in "Galaxy Wings" of either pairs or three vessels to amplify the punch with the ships working together.

    A little too fresh out of space-dock to be obsolete.... honestly! And I'm not at all sure what about the E was more "cinematic friendly" the warp nacelles look like much older technology compared to Galaxy Class nacelles and the ship itself though narrower (because the oblong saucer section has been rotated around by 90 degrees) but much longer which would seem to make it less maneuverable IMHO. Sad but true, producers simply wanted an excuse to demonstrate the Galaxy Class saucer section's ability to act as a lifeboat and land on a planet in a disaster and destroy a perfectly good starship... it's been hashed and rehashed how a truly obsolete Klingon Bird of Prey could possibly have ever destroyed a Galaxy Class starship even with knowing the shield frequency... it should have been simple and quick for the D to have collapsed the BoP's shield and destroy it with all the D's overwhelming fire power after all.

There was a bigger practical issue: the Enterprise D literally wasn't suitable for movie filming as it was designed for TV.

Best not to think too much about these issues I guess, it makes "willing suspension of disbelief that much harder"!

    Well you could argue that if there is no electricity/cameras broken/screen damaged etc. a bridge that has a window for direct visual feedback would make sense. And such a bridge needs to be at the outer side of the ship (not ecessarily on top). So even though I hate discovery, their view screen that actually is a window might make sense. Like a plane or ship where the captain still has a visual impression even if the screens fail. Aside from that, these ships are ment for science, not war. One could argue this is a bit optimistic after all since they need to shoot more often than doing science, but that could be an argument..

    The one thing you missed about the computer cores is that they are wrapped in a subspace field and accelerated faster than light. Page 49 of the manual "Each main core incorporates a series of miniature subspace field generators, which creates a symmetrical (nonpropulsive) field distortion of 3550 millicochranes within the faster-than-light(FTL) core elements. This permits the transmission and processing of optical data with the core at rates significantly exceeding lightspeed." Basically throw your computer in a warp field and accelerate it to 10 years per minute.

    Yeah, I was kinda hyped for Picard that's going to start, on CBS, but now although I still want to see it that was enough for me to wait until it's available somewhere else. I never liked CBS but now I'll make it a point to avoid anything that will make them money/give them raitings that's in my power. Wanting to make money off an IP while giving it's true fans a "fuck you", what a way to completely treat an IP's fans like a commodity. Nice.

    The funny thing with using that Voyager clip as the example of how easy it is to eject the core, they ejected it while the ship was at Warp! It's so easy to do they can do it while it's in use without the ship blowing up or ripping itself apart with the sudden loss of the core and return to normal space.

    The warp core ejection system was conveniently forgotten because the writers were determined to destroy the ship. I'm a little bitter about it actually, lol. I never really gravitated to the Sovereign class and always preferred the Galaxy class so when it was destroyed (in a way that I knew was absolutely avoidable) I was quite disappointed. At the time I told myself the next starship would be cooler, but I just couldn't force myself to like the Sovereign class design as much as I wanted to. I know there are people that love the Sovereign class design, but I'm not one of them.

    What, no swimming pool? If I recall correctly, the original Enterprise (Constitutions class, no A, B, C, D or E) had a swimming pool located in the engineering section? One thing that also comes to mind from the Next Gen Tech Manual is that all the cabins on board are modular. While in spacedock, an entire cabin could be beamed out and replaced with a different one, depending on the need. This would allow for upgrades or changes for crew size, etc. They could even reconfigure the ship for a non-human, non oxygen breathing Federation species if the need arose. During war time, the personal cabins could be changed from those space condos to bunk rooms to hold 1000's of soldiers. The manual even stated that upon launch, about 30% of the interior space hadn't been fitted out yet. Not because they didn't have time or equipment, but because they had more room than they knew what to do with. Modular spacecraft design is awesome. During peacetime, the ships could be used for exploration or transports or colonization. But when the Klingons or whomever start acting up, you'd recall the fleet, do a simple upgrade ( It would be prudent to have all the military upgraded cabins and weapons and so forth in storage, you know, just in case) then your fleet of "harmless" exploration craft become warships overnight. Which would answer the old question of "Starfleet doesn't build warships" and also how quickly they upgraded Starfleet to fight in the Dominion War.

    A bit late to the party but a few other things in the plans and tech manual we never saw on screen... The saucer section actually had a staircase in the middle of it. But the jeffries tubes were more dramatic. The turbolifts could actually work as lifeboats, and when docked to a station there was an umbilical port they could use for a lift car to move between ship and station. But shuttles are more dramatic. Much like the shuttlebay, there were large (massive, really) holodecks and smaller ones. We only saw the more budget friendly smaller ones.

    Like it or not, this was still a nice ship and a luxury liner compared to most scifi ships. I'm surprised you mentioned how it was Paramount (well, and the team at ILM who couldn't stand the Galaxy Class model) who wanted the Enterprise D destroyed. Few Trek fans seem to know that one. But I think somewhere its mentioned that the Galaxy class core ejection system was known to be temperamental, certain failures would lead to the system failing, but I think this is a Beta Cannon RECON since its not mentioned in the series.

    Regarding the whales and dolphins on the ship; it is cannon that, following the events of Star Trek 4, each cetacean species is recognized as a people. Therefore, in any series after TOS, any cetacean in Star Fleet is likely there voluntarily. I wish this was referenced in the episode "The Measure of a Man". However, it may not have been decided at that time.

    to give Geordi credit...the enterprise was an admittedly a poorly made galaxy class, remember those magnetic clamps that were jammed, that would have stopped the ejection of the warp core, remember a voyager was actually destroyed before theirs also fused, and also dumping the warp core became a common thing AFTER the Enterprise-D was lost, something that even he did in a battle, during the third TNG movie. There was a passing mention long before the Klingon attack that some magnetic clamps in the engineering room was jammed and if anything the Klingon attack showed how bad it really got, one good shot near the warp core destabilized it, you those early galaxy class ship was prone to warp core breaches, Yamato, Odyssey and Enterprise all went down the same way.

    Odyssy was Kimikazed and blew up that way. The crew were working their asses off to keep the ship together for 15 minutes with no shields. Had that Jem'hadar ship not kamikazed it, the Odyessy would have made it back, albeit needing major repairs and crew replacements afterward. I doubt any ship would have survived after having a large chunk of its engineering section blown off and the debris blowing up on of the nacelles.

    I always found it odd with the new Star Trek Enterprise (Kelvin) trying to escape the singularity (or rift, or gravity well) opened up by Spock’s red matter. Anyways they were trying escape at Warp, but ejected the core at warp. They would have drifted very quickly into the singularity at maximum impulse at best. They always seemed a little conveniently slow...

    @@threeparots1 Not exactly. Even though Scotty says to eject the core, he only ejects the anti-matter pods, From the time he ejects them to the time they detonate there would have been just enough mater/anti-matter left in the system to stay at warp for a few more seconds. Think of it like the gas tank of a car having been taken off but it can still run for a little longer due to gas still being in the fuel line.

    Yes, you can open the pilot swing windows of an airliner in flight. Just slow to stall speed + 20 kts, depressurize the plane, pull the safety pin, and actuate the swing handle. In fact, it's even part of the EPs (emergency procedures) for mitigating smoke and fumes in the cockpit, often in conjunction with opening the aft air release valve.
