great job.

It would be "Admiral Kirk", not Captain. When referencing the rescue of the crew from Genesis.

@HIKEANIMATION. Thank you. I cried like a baby when the Enterprise went down. And I gotta say my eyes are a bit moist now. Great, damn fine job!

well they could've just beamed over and killed the klingon captain.... bu hey this works lol

@@joeswanson733 wasn't their shields up and the Enterprise systems just overloaded

it seems the A is missing this time

This... everyone was so full of emotion... it was a great thing in Star Trek IV...

Why was the captain of the sci ship voice different ?

@@kevinlambert2756 because it's another voice, another context, to make story more pleasent. That's why!

In my 51yo I appreciate STAR TREK since I'm 6yo as a child, that was amazing! Thanks for my syster to presented me The Original Series!

For me too. It wouldn't have felt the same if the Enterprise A wasn't there at end of the film.

This is the micdrop comment.

No bloody A, B, C, or so on. NCC-1701 is, was, and will always be the GOAT! 🖖

@@dh1031 Scotty : " Refurbishing Enterprise will take 2 years, approximately ", " but ye dinna have 2 years, so I'll do it for ye in *ONE* ".

It wasn’t rebuilt; it was an entirely different ship that got rechristened “Enterprise.”

The Yorktown was renamed Enterprise 1701-A. The 1701 was completely destroyed.

yea i got choked up too when scotty stepped on to the 1701 holodeck bridge too. that was something...

i itterally cried when i read that .. and to be honest im former Navy and seeing ships that i served on and that are now gone brings tears to my eyes.. especially my old ship USS SEATTLE AOE-3... shes gone but i carry her hat and her pictures always with me ..

@@christopherdoff-sotta4441 34 years living aboard Sea Prince.. so far... I understand...

I agree with you 100% This was and is my favorite all time Star Trek movie, and DS9 is my 2nd favorite series right behind TOS. I'm 54 and saw ST 3 in the theater. It was the first movie I got to go see by myself.

@@robertw31968 ST 3 first movie by yourself. Sorry.😁

I agree with you 100%!!!!

NFW not even close. That was stupid. Next Generation had a couple watchable movies but no other ST spinoffs were watchable. That's why all of them didn't last.

@@bultacowally Next Gen. and Voyager were 7 seasons. I would call that lasting, especially when you compare them to other 7 year run show.

Something todays trek post 2009 doesn't understand. To the writers today a ship is just a plot device.

From Court marshal " Given the same circumstances, I would do the same thing without hesitation. Because the steps I took, in the order I took them, were absolutely necessary, if I were to save my ship. And *nothing* is more important than my ship."

I'm pretty sure the crew on board had a bit to do with it.

Compared to how Abrams treats the Enterprise in the Kelvin timeline. Vast difference

​@@crisespinoza1979That clown destroyed the ship almost in every movie and his design is weird.

with a multiverse concept probably in a ST universe out there somewhere this scenario happened. david's genesis planet worked and the enteprise survived re-entry and in this universe esteban wasn't ommanding a oberth class ship but a miranda class ship and etc.

I was just thinking that.

Indeed ..... all that plus the etc makes for the greatest collection of "What if" stories that would EVER be told .... and I for one, am waiting for it. :)

@@joeswanson733 .....You mean a Glenn Class Science vessel, eh? Also an Avenger Class Heavy Frigate for Esteban. THE OKUDAS ARE WRONG!!! in everything they wrote. Let's hope that somewhere out in the Multiverse that this is true. See the Cygnus X-1 blueprint database for more information.

There's no way the Enterprise would've been recovered her neck would've been broken and the nacelle would've been ripped off during the fall. We all know what a plane crash looks like. She didn't go like Enterprise D, that was an controlled crash. I still loved this, I got teary eyes seeing the old girl get her wings back!

OK, well I couldn't have said it any better.

yeah i grew up with tng i feel the same way when the enterprise d was destroyed in generations

a nice story

The saucer section was all but gone, and don’t forget the Starfleet bone yard of Refit Constitution class ships and custom fix jobs.. Scotty knew but kept his mouth shut, like he picked his crew to get the Enterprise off to a new start, sexy bridge design and clean crisp feel.. Kirk is like, rev the engine and punch it! Thwiiiiip! Poof!

Yeah man. Watching the Enterprise self destruct was really emotional. Nowadays they blow the Enterprise up so much that it doesn’t feel like anything anymore. Smh

Lots of tears of happiness here. Thank you Hike, thank you.

but in a way the enterprise being desroyed kind of gave it a finale. because in his universe the original enterprise if it encounters the same evens like khitomer would most likely have to be retired anyways. or the crew gets retired.

@@joeswanson733 she maybe but that is another reality that she is alive

Me too

If it had happened this way, then what would be the point of self-destruct? Cause if the husk could've been resurrected this way then that would mean the self-destruct isn't very effective lol.

actually it would've made more sense to give kirk a miranda class ship.

@@joeswanson733 HELL NO!!

Bones: "What you had to do - - what you always do - - turn death into a fighting chance to live."

@Brandon Taylor ecstatic!

@Brandon Taylor absolutely, it was fantastic.👏

ILM realized that.

I thought the ship was done fine in the new movies. the CGI was world class. scenes that show off the ship are nice, but realistically speaking if you're being transported up to a ship, it's going to happen really, really fast. you get a lot better sense of scale for the enterprise throughout the entire second movie, into darkness, because you actually get to see how miniscule a person is compared to the enterprise, side by side as Kirk and bones are swimming up to it.

"Come, come now. Young minds, fresh ideas."

@@iROMine more like "into the toilet." All that movie was a 2nd rate bastardization of the older movie plots. The first new movie was supposed to signal a reboot of the franchise. And it did a totally fantastic job. The subsequent movies were rehashed messed up plots blended in with typical progressivist dogshit.

Strange New Worlds is going a really good job with this: showing off how well a starship can fly, while at the same time showing how big and heavy it is as it does that. Also, this Enterprise (TMP refit) is 304.9m long: exactly 1,000 feet.

Yes sir she's definitely the best looking ship ever!

miranda class ships are awesome.

@@joeswanson733 One of my favorite designs, even if they became a bit of a joke later.

A great " What if " , Captain Estaban and crew using a Miranda class ship instead of that punny Oberth class. And no Klingons to ruin his day.

@@johnbockelie3899 oberths when one phaser gets fired towards them: 💥

@@PantherAusfD1944Miranda’s when an entire planet is thrown at them: 😐

There wouldn't have been much to recover if she had indeed gone down on Genesis. The only chance the hull would survive, would be bouncing off the atmosphere and flying out into space.

When you watch the film, it is pretty clear that the intent was for the ship to pretty much burn up on reentry. The idea of Starfleet "easily" recovering and restoring it just seems kinda delusional to me.

@@startrekmike uh huh right whatever you say son

@@jedimasterhorton9933 Well, considering that the next movie has them crew up a entirely different ship, I think my assessment ended up panning out pretty accurately.

@@startrekmike well leave the what if story's alone besides I think it's best we have imagination

I teared up as well

@@Bu2Spike 🖖

well in the end of the day i's not the ship but the crew that really matters. it's like in the navy today. ships come and go but the people. it's always about the people.

@@joeswanson733 love your screen name....but your right. But it's still a great what if story.

@@ncc1701chris it's such a generic name but catchy at the same time. reminds me of a certain fellow from new england.

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 would just be better to build a new ship or what they did slap on a new name to a old constitution class ship because i think i read that by the time of the star trek movie era they stopped building constitution class ships.

Don’t forget… The birth of Excelsior was to replace the Constitution class.. I’m sure there was some salvageable parts, but i bet, Mr Scott had a ship waiting to catch the Enterprise flying over the Landing Party, but Took a Klingon bird of prey to Vulcan 🖖. While Kirk was distracted with Spock and McCoy, Scotty was making sure “his” Enterprise was safe and recovered by his salvage crew when they lost the automation system.. Then the old flamed Enterprise returned to Earth by another ship, and went into massive repairs when the Excelsior was operational.. Mr Scott loved the Enterprise just as much as or more than Kirk.

That’s one of the issues I had/have with JJ’verse and Kurtzman’verse ships and storytelling. Planet landing just shouldn’t be a thing with these ships. Yes I realize voyager could make planet fall and atleast they attempted to explain that but I still didn’t like it.

@@tarn1135 if you got transporters and shuttles theres no point of landing your ship or even taking your ship near he atmosphere. we saw in star trek tos tomorrow is yesterday it takes too much time and energy to get ship out of atmosphere back in orbit.

i thought so too

No , no he wouldn’t

@@engine22emt I think Gene would like it because he didn't like the Enterprise getting destroyed, especially since he thought the Enterprise crew would be put on the Excelsior, which, in his mind was Harve Bennett's way of taking another element of the Star Trek franchise which Gene claimed ownership of.

@@bennyfisher9157 no…. No he wouldn’t

No he would not have.lmao The ship went down in a damn ball of fire. It would make no sense story wise to bring it back..

YES ! Yes he would have. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT !

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....

She didn’t burn up

yes i too think these fan edits are better

This would be a great alternate universe timeline! Excellent Job!! Kudos!! This would be a great recovery job.. Find and tow the old ship in a covert salvage job, before the planet explode as Kirk leaves. Great video! Thanks!

True enough; yet ST began getting ‘odd’ ever since Roddenberry died

@@lawnmowermanTX it's not really much of a convert salvage as in this scenario the grissom wasn't there Kirk got the jump on the klimgons beamed over stole the ship this universe grissom arrive sees the enterprise brings it up and the rest ends in the video way. Timing timing timing

Yes. As soon as I saw the advertisements on "Not your father's Trek" or some such I knew I wasn't going to like the series just for that attitude. Why call something Star Trek if it wasn't going to BE Star Trek?

this guy does better work than prodigy, picard, discovery, and lower decks combined.

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

Also, what happened to the Bird of Prey and the one Klingon left on board and why did the Genesis Planet suddenly stop ripping itself apart and return to its original state?

@@ivaneames4354 I can partially explain the latter question. In this parallel reality, the Genesis planet was still ripping itself apart, just much slower than in ST3. That is apparent in the shot where the Miranda class ship is pulling the Enterprise via Tractor beam away from the planet. The night side is lit up with volcanic eruptions. But yeah, quite a few plot holes here.

@@aerospacematt9147 Thanks, I'd forgotten about that shot.

I guess everyone's court-martial went well then? Must've got Samuel T. Cogley out of retirement then for the win!

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

Same animation used in ST:TMP

i'm pretty sure voice ID would also be neded or these simple codes would be a disaster lol

@@dandeliondown7920 " And May The SCHWARTZ Be With You " ☺️👍🐕‍🦺🖖

@@dandeliondown7920 ... you're probably the only one that gets it 😂, that's sad ✌️...

@@My-Pal-Hal Well, there's two sides to every SCHWARTZ - - maybe they got the downside. 😵‍💫😄

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.

The rest of the explosives were going to be delivered on Tuesday.

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.

But it'll sound like Discovery-A all over again.

Personally, this scenario would be physically impossible. Only way there would be a soft landing is if the ship had power and repulsed its way down. No way as beautiful this vid is, Enterprise would have survived. Also, there another issue. Probe. It was only because they stole the Bird of Prey, they could have gotten away saving the planet.

@@Wrangler-fp4ei there are always possibilities
