"The Pegasus" is that episode where somewhere at the end of the 2nd act, Riker goes into the Holodeck and boots up a program of a fine fanfic based on the first Enterprise. If you're interested in Riker's recreational hobby as a Holowriter, they actually made a full series about it. It's called Star Trek Enterprise! On that show you can see what Star Trek might have looked like when the series is focused more on sex and action. A nice diversion like Vic Fontaine and or a Random Irish Village. Thank goodness that wasn't canon, huh? Oh that Riker.

Star Trek engineers should keep everybody's transporter pattern in the memory banks. That way they can beam a new copy in each time a crew member dies. It should be an automatic back-up system that runs every few hours or even minutes, depending on data capacity.

The one time where having rocks exploding around the ship makes perfect sense.

My head canon for the rock debris often seen when ships take damage is that it's refinery slag used as cheap passive radiation shielding. The place we typically see them is the bridge, which has direct outer hull (because the federation has always believed in symbolism over practicality), the primary place for such a shielding material. And since for passive radiation shielding the only thing that really matters is mass, it makes sense that they would simply fill that space with the (presumably rather dense) waste materials from their metallurgy industry. That solves two problems: For one you don't have to ship off as much slag, and secondly your crew has some protection from cosmic radiation even if you lose power for active shielding or the system acts up in other ways.

Always something new to learn about Trek history. This makes so much more sense than using an Oberth model

@DGAlpha85

2 жыл бұрын

Actually, using an Oberth makes a lot of sense in-universe when you think about it: When using a lot of experimental and new technology, designing a new ship around all that takes a lot of effort, time end resources, especially when you don't know if all that stuff will work in the first place. So better stuff all the experimental tech on an old hull, especially when said hull is probably scheduled for scrapping in the near future anyways. Sure, that will take a lot of juri-rigging and non-optimal arrangements, probably with a lot of open cables and lines. But ultimately you don't need to run your tech optimally, you just need to see if it runs at all. And as an experimental ship you'll not fly 5-year missions into the unknown, but closely-monitored, short term cruises in safe territory. Also, the chances are high that all this new tech will require a lot of tweaking and refitting, so its better to have an old hull where you don't mind ripping out panels and floors for a few new cables, instead of a brand new ship where you just mit the carpet last tuesday. So yeah, an old ship as a first experimental trials ship makes sense and then, after a few flights, deign a new class with all the things you have learned.

@shininginshadows

2 жыл бұрын

@@DGAlpha85 agree and disagree. The Oberth was an old platform, possibly the oldest platform in service during the 24th century given how low the registry on the Grissom was in ST3. It does make sense to have an existing platform be the testbed for some new technologies, but there were a lot more existing platforms to choose from in the mid-24th century than a ship originally designed in the early 23rd century. On the other hand, there were some proto-Galaxy ships in the Wolf 359 fleet, namely the Freedom and Challenger, that would have also been logical prototype ships even though they weren't existing models. I think a lot of it comes down to the systems being tested: if it's things like weapons and sensors, then yes it makes sense to integrate them into current platforms, but for larger systems like warp drives it might make sense to have a newer test platform (such as the NX-alpha and NX-beta prior to the NX-01).

@shininginshadows Except that in real life.. this is often the case. The US Navy currently uses a 45 year old Spruance class destroyer as a remotely-controlled “Self-Defence-Test-Ship” to trial new defensive weapons technologies. One of the first US Navy ships to fire a surface-to-air missile in 1953 was the battleship USS Mississippi.. which was commissioned in 1915 during WWI. The nice thing about using old ships is they don’t draw from operational demands that require modern hulls.. they are easier to modify because they can literally be “kit bashed” with crude installations and easily modified configurations that don’t need to meet standards for durability, damage control, redundancy, etc because they will likely only be operated in fair weather, close to port, not in combat, and…… as we see here… if there is an accident or total constructive loss the cost is far cheaper than a newer ship.

The Oberth class made perfect sense... for the bean counters at Paramount. Using a new model would have been out of the question.

Having switched to PADDs for their documentation, and therefore no longer equipped with Paper, starship crew easily succumb to Rock.

It is often joked about when ships take damage, and rocks fly across the scene… But we don’t know… they could be remnants of plasma discharged crystalline backplane for control panels… when phaser or photon torpedo damage hits the area, the crystalline structure could be damaged into rocklike sections… who knows?

( We actually bought several broken Klingon units from ferrangi traders and were able to assemble 2 functional units) the Romulan device was from the dubious “ Enterprise Incident” stolen by Kirk himself. With some work we were able to reverse engineer a nearly perfect cloak that was all Starfleet. The system was intended for use as a stealth recon op in the delta quadrant. It proved invaluable along with our heat reduction system. Once in combat we don’t run it but there’s no need anyways. The cloak and the armor generator ( reverse engineered from USS Voyager) don’t play nice with each other anyway
