"Personal Holodecks where the resident could go jogging." Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what they would be used for.

The Encounter At Far Point episode actually had warp coasting on display, for any wondering. It's the maneuver Picard had the ship pull off before turning the Star Drive section around in order to confront the pursuing Q, while protecting the rest of the crew from the being's wrath.

J. J. Abrams ignored fact 1 (which counts for every Enterprise). For him it was just a vehicle, that he destroyed without any emotions

Actually during season 3's "Deja Q" the Enterprise used a warp field to lower the mass of Beral IV's moon and then used their tractor beam to push it into a higher orbit, then Q out of gratitude, fixed the problem

Great video! This was literally all new information to me. Thank you for not just rehashing the same 10 things other videos say. You actually did the math on some of this stuff and deep dive research. Bravo.

I think they used the idea of personal holodecks in DS9. Quark's bar had several Holo-Suites in the upper area of the bar.

About the Enterprise being the main character of the show: Perhaps this is why it is titled “Raumschiff Enterprise” (Starship Enterprise) in German.

On BSG, the Galactica was 100% a character, I teared up when she broke her back. "She'll never jump again."

That last fact gave me an idea, how about "Top 10 things you didnt knew about startrek weapons"

The Enterprise D could probably have gone longer than 3 years without a refuelling stop, but the ship's captain had this strange thing for an old English tea, that would constantly take up large amounts of energy to reproduce in the replicators, hence the 3 year period between refuelling. If you though that was bad, spare a thought for the USS Voyager [yikes].

I have to congratulate you on bringing up ten unknown facts that haven't already been mentioned in ten other videos on the same subject. Good job, I'd like to see more of this.

Standard Phaser effective range = 1 Light Second Standard Torpedo effective range = 16.67 Light Seconds Result: Most Star Trek space battles should take place BEYOND visual range. Plus enormous consideration for time over distance.

Im still not over what they did the enterprise in generations, a single bird of prey bested the crew that had first contact and fought the borg several times and they just forgot about modulating shields, you can grant them the first shot but after that, if it was a few birds of prey with a Negh' Var it would be ok. I wonder what they use as a deflector when warp coasting. Keep these create vids coming

That tactic sounds like artillery "time on target", timing the strikes of several weapons to land at the same time.

The Galaxy Class certainly was a good all rounder. Not a true battleship, science vessel, or troup carrier. It was a luxury liner that could kick arse, carry out scientific missions and explore deep space. Still my favourite ship, but the Sovereign was definitely a much more sleek design.

Main take away from this video for me is that all the battles in star trek should have been similar to space battles in Legend of Galactic Heroes, with fleets hurling volleys of phasers and torpedoes at fleets they can barely see on sensors.

its why in star trek Nemesis you see the shields are much closer to the ship, instead of a bubble. IT used a lot less power, better control where the shields were powered, and it also avoided that last little weakness. Not to mention the shields were a lot stronger the closer to the ship it was.

I always saw Q as the main character in TNG. The pilot episode opens with the crew on trail for the short comings of Humanity. I always liked to think the show was being shown from Q’s point of view.

2:51 Wait a minute the antimatter fuel consumption depends on how long they use maximum warp. So it could vary from 3 years to 30 depending on consumption rates

Always love to see the big D get some love.

In theory, the Enterprise could tow the Death Star as long as it wasn't actively resisting with counter thrust. I can pull a loaded barge into a dock just by stepping on the lines.

Top notch, great info, thank you.

How about a comparison between the original ST Enterprise and the space cruiser Yamato? That could be fun to watch...

The Enterprise D also has 14 weapons ports. 11 Phaser strips and 3 photon torpedo tubes. The forward and aft torpedo launchers are well known. The 3rd of these torpedo tubes is rear-facing on the saucer, but it's only exposed to space when the saucer is separated from the secondary hull. The main phaser strips are located on the ventral and dorsal saucer section. On the ventral (bottom) secondary hull, the battle section forward array runs laterally from starboard to port, and located aft of the main deflector. Two more battle section aft arrays are at the very aft of the ship at the central stern. There is one on each of the bottom of the two nacelle pylons also. On the dorsal (top) side, two more battle section aft arrays are located at the central stern, just aft and below the rear photon torpedo array. The battle section upper arrays are located a few decks up and further to port or starboard from the shuttle bays, close to the vehicle separation plane (the line where the saucer separates from the engineering section). Photon torpedoes were large and heavy, measuring 2.1m x 0.76m x 0.45m (6' 10.6" x 2' 5.9" x 1' 5.7") and weighing 247.5kg (545.6 lbs). Needless to say, the Enterprise is very well armed. I think the reason why we didnt ever see it fighting at it's full capacity was because of the limitations of 1980s-90s special effects capabilities. Today, it would be no trouble seeing the Enterprise go all out, but back then, it would have been a challenge.

What I would love to do if I had access to a Holodeck is create the ultimate LARP. There would be the Worf setting, which is difficult and the Guinan setting ( which is only playable by Guinan herself ... )

I really enjoyed this video it makes me appreciate my model Enterprise D so much more all the time! Thank you so much⭐⭐👍❤

Very cool new information. Very impressive

The personal holodecks must be like the testing chambers on Lower Decks' "I, Excretus".

For me the Enterprise D is the most beautiful ship.

So basically like the topedo field sustainer, the saucer module basically grabs and holds on to the warp bubble until it dissipates.

It's much much more than eight times the internal volume of the original. We do also see two sizes of holodeck in the series. Despite my nitpickiness, I really do appreciate the videos

The Enterprise it's such an awesome ship, great video!

Love these types of videos, I was thinking how about doing some about the history of equipment from Star Trek? You could start with phasers, tricorders communictors ect? Also without sounding like a knob I know quite a bit and would be happy to help out. 😆

Well, interesting problem here then. This means that the Enterprise-D, after rescuing billions, stopping numerous wars, and exploring billions of miles of space essentially died cold and alone on an alien world with no one beside it.

I can't believe you found ten new (to me, and probably most of us) facts about the Big E of Picard's era. Well done!

#1.: They did show that exact maneuver, not in TNG but in the Animated Series. Captain Kirk more than once orders "FIre phasers and photon torpedoes in combination" in a couple of the animated episodes. I assume he came up with that trick after TOS, probably with the help of Spock and Scotty. Nice to see the writers were a fan of the Animated series.

That was a great video

God I love this channel. British Ben, you're the man

I'm on to you British Ben! That facial hair means you're from the mirror universe, you're EVIL British Ben!

That was really good! Especially the dimple shield tactic

I'll never forgive them for destroying the ship in Generations.

Yes..I'm very sure the personal holodecks would only ever be used to "go jogging in the park". That seems like the very first thing which comes to mind.

1.45 so right, I literally nearly or complaetely cried every time when I saw the enterprise destroyed

Bravo!

As we learn in Lower Decks, jogging may be not the main thing people use holodecks for...

Don't forget dude it was seen several times in the show where the Enterprise D had numerous tractor beam emitters at different points on the hull not just on the keel remember in that episode from Season 2 where we first met Keylar when she was launched out in a class 8 probe to meet up with the Enterprise and a tractor beam was activated catching the probe and that tractor beam emitter appeared near the starboard impulse engine for the saucer section and in that season 3 episode 'The Hunt' where we saw a tractor beam activated to catch a stolen ship that tractor beam appeared to be near the forward torpedo tube so with that many tractor beam emitters she has who knows how strong the Enterprise D's towing strength could be

It would be interesting to see a "realistic" Star Trek ship-to-ship battle using these tactics and distances. Firing torpedoes would feel a lot like submarine warfare.

Bruv! LOVED the explanation of quantum computing and the Terminators coming to kill us all! Lol! And Obi-Wan's line from "Attack of the Clones?" Classic! Love the channel and the nuances and direct humour that you use! Keep it up! It's great and I have a lot of fun watching it! Be safe and healthy! Peace and Long Life! 🖖😎

Take a shot every time he says. "The Writer's Technical Manual."

The saucer coasting is actually referenced in an episode. I forget who says it, but a character says something along the lines of ‘the saucer should drop out of warp after a few minutes’.

Thanks for this. This ship was my dads favorite ship of all of Star Trek.

Hello, need to point out a mild misnomer at 8:58, where you describe talking about dropping other ships' shielding. Senior Chief Miles Edward O'Brien used a rotating replenishment technique used in Starfleet shield nutation in order to beam aboard the U.S.S. Phoenix in the TNG episode "The Wounded" to attempt to bring reason to his former commanding officer Captain Benjamin Maxwell. It's not exactly a combat tactic until "Star Trek Generations" but it's still a nifty trick. 😀

That ending to " Enterprise" in the holodeck,.😂😂😂😂

No:1 is the main factor lost in current Star Trek. Ships are just tools, with no character. They're disposable with no sense of loss or regret.

Excellent list! Please do one on the NX-01

Small shuttles and ships could tow Galaxy Class sized starships. The power of the tractor beam isn't necessarily relative to the size of the ship generating the tractor. This was seen on-screen.

Cool!

This should be a fun one: Can you try a video (or series) doing a breakdown on potential diagnoses of primary villains? Dukat might be one of the 'paths' (socio, psycho)...and Khan.

In a few Star trek video games, epsecially the Super NES Starfleet Academy, the sneeky shield penetrating trick was designed into it. I f you fire phasers or a torpedo th eshield takes damage. If you fire successive or synchronous attacks the shields and hull will take massive damage.

Very cool! Are these two books available for purchase?

We need the Enterprise. The big gray lady!... I am not programmed to comply with that request.

And you have hit on exactly why millions of trek fans hate the Kelvin timeline. In every movie they succeed in blowing the enterprise to bits before the paint dries.

11. It has a gigantic amount of unoccupied space throughout the ship. My personal holders would need to be... cleaned regularly.

It doesn't really make sense for the holodeck to even have large rooms. It would make way more sense to simply have many individual pods, and then network them together, as that effortlessly overcomes the issue with 2 or more characters spreading out in different directions beyond the boundaries of the room.

That Gottee is British Ben Going Romulan??? ;-) Interesting as this could turn up in the new series as many were unused!

I hope the torpedoes were equipped with a self-destruct mechanism that would activate automatically after a period of time. Otherwise, a torpedo that misses its target could endlessly hurtle through space until it hits a random target like a ship, a space station, or a colony that is totally unrelated to the conflict. As for a phaser missing the target, I suspect you're just hoping it turns out fine without causing a greater calamity.

the personal holorooms are featured in the original ED Whitefire blueprints. on deck 35 in the aft area. you can see them as a series of cubes lining one of the corridors on both sides of the ship.

9 KZfaq channels? -Laughs in Simon Whistler

British Ben, you shoudl cosplay as the 10th Doctor! You would be spectacular!

Why did they wait until they could throw rocks out the windows until getting into a space battle for the rest of the show lol. They gave the enterprise most of the top trumps then threw the deck away. I liked the idea of the massive arboretum, mall, theatre and grotto in the original plans.

Ah, you've decided to Riker this episode, well done.

List aboit the Next Generation Enterprise and you didnt have to mention the Captain's Yacht. Take my upvote!

The personal holodecks and the last one was news to me.

That mismatched scale in battle pissed me off; thousands of KM apart, the two ships shouldn't be shown NEXT to each other.

So are those personal holodecks like what was used for the testing in that one episode of “Lower Decks”?

the personal sized holo decks you can see in star treck lower decks season 2 ;) also the ds9 holo suits are quite small

"Tea, Earl Gray. Hot"

I think they had two or maybe possibly three episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation where they had warp coasting saucer separation. Yes, if the Starship Enterprise was real, there would be a lot of detail to give out more than you could ever possibly imagine of every technical detail.

1 thing you did get wrong is the bit about the largest container ship in the world, the largest is the Ever Ace

Re: warp coasting a) it is much more effective than indicated b) the saucer DOES have minimal warp capacity c) the saucer is due to arrive at Farpoint Station for Riker to perform that manual docking - in a few more years (relative time to the last appearance of the characters).

Newer versions of the Galaxy class, borrowing from the work on the Prometheus class of ships, have Warp cores in their Saucer sections too now.

Saucer seperation and seperation at warp were done in season 1 episode 1/2. And seperation occured a couple more times in season 1and 2.

Just something about this ship class. It was made it even better that it was on on par is the other large ship classes in the show like the bird of prey and not over powered

So with the weapons range a galaxy class can destroy a ISD or VSD before the weapons of the other ship can get into range

Fun fact, the captain on the OOCL Hong Kong is "Lum Chung Fatt" a bit appropriate

I am sure thanks to Phaser strips Star Fleets ships would have a Point Defense System to shoot down oncoming enemy torpedoes like how modern battle ships have those rotary guns or in the Expanse the ships have Point Defense Cannons or in Andromeda Point Defense Lasers

Picard and Riker were co-leads because they weren't sure at the beginning if people would accept Picard, that's why they had Riker who was basically a Kirk like character. It's the same reason they did the cliffhanger at the end of Best of Both Worlds, because they didn't know if Stewart would be back, so Frakes would have taken over as Capt. with Shelby as his 1st officer.

So...the Galaxy class was basically a cross between a cruise liner and a university science department run by paramilitary space hippies?

The personal holodecks were mentioned in voyager season 5 the episode were voyager helps the generational ship restore warp drive and Harry Kim gets it on with Teal'c girlfriend Tom speaking with Tuvok about their tech "there is zero waste you could simulate vulcan in your own quarters"

I still have the Enterprise D technical manual somewhere.

I'd like to know if the holodeck could generate a bathroom and what would happen if a crew member used it.

Phasers were a maximum of 500,000 km and torpedoes were 750,000 km range as per the technical blueprint and the technical manual as per cannon.

I have a question,a fazer is a beam of light ,if you put a mirror coating on the enterprise ,would it reflect the beam?

I think they used the personal holodecks in in Lower Decks series season 2.

Check out Ed Whitefires original season 1 blueprints of the Enterprise D. There is plenty of unknown dropped ideas on the Enterprise. Like the five story mall. Casino, civilian towns, the singles bar with a waterfall. Yes plenty of fodder for another 10 things video.

that torpedo skipping past the shield tricks in a couple of the games, star trek starfleet command 1, 2 and 3 although 3 is a little different and sucks lol

Warp speed is a multiple scale. Warp 2 is NOT 2 times the speed of light so Warp 9 is not 9 times the speed of light, in the STNG technical manual is it explained as . Warp 1 = 1c, c= speed of light Warp 2 = 10c Warp 3 = 39c Warp 4 = 102c Warp 5 = 214c Warp 6 = 392c Warp 7 = 656c Warp 8 = 1024c Warp 9 = 1516c

Now we need the Enterprise-E. Still the sexiest ship in everything Star Trek.

If you do the same for ne NX-01 could we talk about how the impuls engine and basically the entire aft of the ship look completely different in the intro in the series itself

Did the saucer have a min deflector for its coast warp?
