I never saw enough of the Vulcan ships in "Enterprise" but loved their design. The cylindrical warp drive just makes more sense: in order to create a stable warp bubble around the ship, having nacelles that could flex and move, like Star Fleet does, would make it far more difficult for the two nacelles warp fields to interact with each other. One solid ring would keep the warp coils and other components in aliment so much better. Having a warp drive that could fold flat into the hull of a warship for its own protections would also be awesome. Best of all, this ring-style warp drive looks so much like the proposed NASA /AsteronX Alcubierre-White Warp Drive ship that it makes me tingle!

It's appearance indicates a purposeful design, with emphasis (it's outside pylon engine mounts) on possibly gathering minerals or other resources off of asteroids, planets and other bodies as well as transporting cargo and materials on and off planet. It also detected Cochran's warp test indicating it has specialized sensors and other equipment to serve such a purpose. It's similar in a sense to the Nostromo minus the cargo pod off of Alien.

Perhaps it is a matter of perspective and scale. Earth, in just 2 warp-5 capable NX-class starships has been further from their home world than have Vulcan ships in just a few years. The space the Vulcans have explored has been rather extensively catalogued with the caveat that they only recorded points of interest; the charts accessible to Enterprise were either intentionally incomplete or the Vulcans did not record everything they discovered. Given that Vulcan has been warp-capable for 10 centuries at a minimum since this is roughly the date that proto-Romulans left Vulcan to found the Star Empire home world of Romulus some 300 light years away. it would seem that Vulcans in the time frame of 1,000 years up to the dates of Enterprise could have explored all of the Alpha and Beta quadrants and perhaps even well into the Gamma and Delta quadrants. In that sense they are not explorers. but, everything within roughly ~200 light years has been explored extensively.

Hmm, so how did humans, being human, not just copy Vulcan designs ? Either a bit of industrial espionage or just look closely for inspiration and base your designs off what you know already works (Just paint it a different colour) instead of reinventing the wheel. Especially in the mirror universe where they had a complete Vulcan survey ship to take apart and reverse engineer, but somehow still ended up with a saucer and two nacelles layout, that was at least a lot tougher than Vulcan ships of the same era. But then apparently evolved human sensibilities (or Vulcan cultural engineering, perhaps to prevent this very thing) has apparently rendered humans unable to reverse engineer ships, such as captured Suliban cell ships. Or even to hold onto captured ships when the enemy crew is still alive, such as Ferengi pirate ships. This philosophy continues on into Federation culture till even in the 24th century, with a Nyrian biosphere ship that tried to steal Voyager by beaming them to a sealed habitat with a Translocator with a ten light year range through shields. When they capture the Nyrian ship, after returning all the prisoners, they don't rip it apart for tech and install their transporters - it's like reliable transwarp beaming with shield penetration that can do large scale transports at closer range, very very useful. "The crew of the attacking ship have just been translocated to our brig captain". But no, just leave the ship as is. Damn Vulcans neutered humanity.

If I remember this correctly, Vulcans did explore, but they didn't just follow their noses, like humans. The rings were far more efficient warp engines than nacelles, but they prevented the ships from changing course while at warp. That's why most species use nacelles, trading efficiency for flexibility. It was fine for the Vulcans though, as all their exploratory trips would be carefully and elaborately planned, and they would rarely deviate from these plans.

Humans / Starfleet's version of exploring : " Hey, let's go there and there and there and there and there , because ... why not ?!? " Vulcan version of exploring : "It is beneficial to us to explore for resources & accurate star charts. It is also beneficial to catalog sentient life close to the homeworld and categorize them as current / future neighbors or threats" . I'm basing my view of Humans / Starfleet on all of the classic Trek shows ... , that can be summed up as "yeehaa , let's go! " . As to the Vulcans -- Enterprise's early seasons mentioned "the Vulcan star charts" a lot, so there's that . Also, considering that Vulcan, Earth and Andoria are relatively close, it's logical to assume two things : The Vulcans didn't go too far from home, and in their initial explorations it didn't take them far before they encountered their fair share of trouble (Andorians & Klingons) -- all of which would play into their existing pragmatic and paranoid view of the galaxy and exploration . So while the Vulcans didn't suffer from extreme bouts of paranoia and xenophobia as the Romulans, the impetus was there and the bad experiences were there . With all that said, it must be pointed out that by Kirk's era, we had at least one Starfleet ship manned completely by Vulcans (group evolution) , and by Picard's era we had individual Vulcans serving in Starfleet (individual evolution) ... -- while they still maintained the 'group evolution' , as DS9 got us the T'Kumbra (misspelled ?) that also sounded like it might have had a full Vulcan crew (of baseball enthusiast) .

When severely injured, I can imagine Vulcans losing control of their emotions, hence the restraining chairs. Triage, although more easily done while laying down, can be done sitting (regarding the patient). Why one bed? I'm guessing that intensive patients that need restraint and sedation get the spots closer to the equipment for immediate service, and that there might be another room less known of comprising an open space with several beds lined up for easy access; like cubicles in an office. A patient with a fractured bone or open wound gets the relaxed bed while the one in severe pain and losing the ability to focus and suppress their emotions get strapped down or straight up sedated. Since this may not be very common, I can see why there may not be so many of these.

The vulcans went through a cultural shift after enterprise after archer helped them. So the vulcans in early enterprise being different from the other shows make sense. The Vulcans also saw the galaxy as a dangerous place that became friendlier with the creation of the Federation. They weren't alone against the klingons or the unknown any longer. Their philosophy was allowed to evolve.

I think when the Vulcans say they're not "explorers", they mean they don't have an urge to just go out and look at things at random like humans do. "Oh, look, a nebula... Let's make a detour before going to that gas giant we were gonna look at." Vulcans research, but they don't do it for curiosity or fun like humans

6:50 we actually did and to some extent still do design and build ships with design elements that are thousands of years old. Sails for example, or the overall shape of the ship, rudders. Some things don't change, whether the reasons are practical or sentimental. Besides, ship design changed remarkably little in the span of a millenium depending on which one you look at.

it wasn't so much that they didn't like to explore, it was more they didn't typically make contact with the people they found along the way unless something like say a ship hitting warp speed from a pre-warp civilization catches there attention.

Vulcans didn't like to explore. But logic dictates it is necessary for them, as a race that deals with a lot of perils, to know as much as they can from every subject. So even if they didn't like to explore, they would still do it, and aim to be the best at it. It's only logical to put what is necessary above what is enjoyable. It's actually pretty much in character for Vulcans.

Yeah, the Vulcan's not liking to explore is like Starfleet not being a military, they may say that they aren't and may avoid it on a daily basis, but that is what they are. Also, we do base tech off of older ship, the catamaran was developed well over a thousand years ago, maybe even 20K years ago, but we one of the Navy's latest ships is a catamaran.

Gotta say this is an interesting vid :) Now for the Vulcans being "explorers" I'd say no as they're more just Cartographers if I remember right from Enterprise... The reason being is "if I'm remembering right" they don't go and look for X which is interesting they literally map out grid point by grid point making sure to take note of anything that may need further study.
@limiv52725 жыл бұрын
No, they said that Vulcans need a logical and pragmatic reason to go look at something. Also, the NX Enterprise discovered the Vulcan star charts weren't very accurate. The captain and Trip had a whole discussion about that. Trip was wondering what was the point of going places others had already been to, and Archer tells him that those places are new to them, and also that some planetary system they just mapped isn't on the Vulcan star charts. Yes, I have no life, that doesn't mean I'm wrong...

I dunno, the Vulcans who were exiled/seceded decided to run "all the way" to Romulus, which we know canonically is spitting distance from Earth, which is spitting distance from Vulcan. Sure sounds like a race that doesn't like to go very far xD "Hey, we're a whole TWENTY LIGHT YEARS away! They'll never find us now!"

The Vulcans although helped humans advance they also held them back. In one episode T'Pol said to Archer "it took us 10 years to go from warp 5 to 6 (??????)" And Archer responds "just because it took you 10 years doesnt mean it should take us 10 years" Or something like that I cant find the exact line.

About the Vulcans declining to say they're into exploring. I've never seen it anywhere, but, maybe they're into business. So they're not just exploring, they're ultimately buying and selling. Like, the Ferengi, but, highly logical.

Simple reason for restraints in Vulcan sickbays: the crew's freaking Vulcans. Pon Farr aside, if Vulcans get delirious, things break. If they aren't delirious they probably sit on an ottoman and meditate while being treated. :)

When vulcans loose focus they might become violent - So having restrains in sick bay kinda makes at least some sense - yes it looks odd but it does have some logic behind in on few levels.

They do seem to be more interested in exploring post Star Trek: Enterprise, but does anyone think that that change could be because of the change in government after V'Las was removed from power? My guess would be that he was holding them back (and had been for a while as Vulcans live quite long and we do not know exactly how long he was in power) at the direction of the Romulans for some reason. The change might have then occurred after he was removed from power.

I always felt Vulcans did explore, but they didnt do it as a race with the same zeal as humans. They seemed to limit it to logical pursuits in exploration. They were obviously more cautious and less cavalier about it.

I actually like the design of the Vulcan ships, though I think that if they were as logical as they claim they'd be extremely minimalist and spartan. Either way, I do like that the Romulan and Vulcan ships have some similarities in their roundness but use those shapes differently. I also love ships with rings, though mostly because I like the idea of using spin/centrifugal gravity in a habitation ring(which is what this isn't used for), though I'd imagine that you could easily disable the warp capabilities of a vulcan ship by blasting a chunk from the ring. Actually, that's a big problem with most Star Trek ships(one of the few ones I can think of that has integrated nacelles is the Defiant, which is honestly what I look for in a hard sci-fi space fighter, even though it's not)

1:40 Of course they only needed 1 bio-bed, but it needed restraints. They could heal themselves through meditation unless they went crazy. Like with Sex Lust. So that's why. If they needed the bed, it was to heal a sex-crazed neurotic. 2:30 That is empty space. Not a "massive, massive shuttle bay." Look at photos from other perspectives. Like the very next one at 2:45. It is empty space. But a large "shuttle bay" would be useful for storage, visiting shuttles, gathering supplies and equipment or other cargo en route to a colony world, etc.
