      I'm sorry but the Enterprise E was the best Enterprise, your title is practically disregards the other Enterprises, you need to be more fair and more inclusive.

      Absolutely true. In real life this is the longest "serving" Enterprise and she deserves the title. The original was onscreen for 3 seasons, the refit was around for 6 films, the E was only on screen for 3 movies and the D was onscreen for 7 years and one movie. May she long be remembered as the largest and classiest.

      What do you want to hear
      SHE IS THE BIG E
      the most seminal star ship in the star trek Canon SHE is the most recognizable star ship in the whole franchise
      That's just how it is
      The fact that SHE is also on of the most beautiful doesn't exactly detract from HER legacy as well for 75% of star trek fans as being the ship we grew up with
      So SHE will have a place in sooo many minds and hearts 💕💞♥❤

    30 years later and still the most majestic, regal and elegant ship in all starfleet history. The gentle lines and futuristic curves just make it look like one seamless piece of engineering marvel. It also visually represents the epitome of starfleet and Roddenberry's vision: a hopeful, optimistic, & utopian future for humanity. Considering how long ago TNG came out, I'm disappointed in the other starship designs since then. There was a kind of majesty and elegance to the design of D that hasn't been duplicated since.

      Indeed. Watched season 3 with family, and my brother and I went all 'Turn the lights on!' when they finally stepped into the bridge XD A lot of the newer ships are so dark and gloomy to let the rest of the lights do some work. It's not bad, but it takes away from the optimism that was implied even in the aesthetics of the D' s bridge.

  • @jlomesou

    The Enterprise-D tells a lot about where humanity is after 75 years from the original series. First, the design of it screams of new engineering concepts, perhaps learned from alien races who joined the Federation. The organic flow of its lines describes a reason why the ship moves faster through space. Then on the inside, it feels like you’re on a cruise liner with all the luxurious that goes along with it. You have families which states a new trust in the galaxy they travel through. It indicates a more peaceful period. The bridge being so open with much fewer control panels indicates technology doesn’t have to be at your fingertips as much and that the ship itself does not need as many crewmen to keep it operational. Personal space is important on this ship with the Captain having his own office off the side of the bridge. Crew quarters are larger. Holodecks to allow people to be creative and escape into their creations. There is a large forward lounge to have people meet and talk or just hang out looking at the stars. If I were to explore space, that’s the ship I’d want to do it in. It feels like a place of learning and introspection. Perfect for writers to type out drama. I wish they’d go back to that type of creative style again. The dark brooding sets are scary and it makes one fearful of whats around a corner. That’s more mirror universe like than Roddenberry’s idea of an evolved humanity.

      The E is when the starfleet ships went downhill: all the sharp and weird angles, and an explosion of aztec-ing, and everything became so dark in the interior to the point where you cant even see the bridge anymore. Nothing about it is sleek or elegant. It looks over designed like a early 2000s aesthetic

Can I program... Charlize Theron in 2370 without legal consecuences? Mmmm...)

    Just a few extra notes. You forgot the Galaxy class ships in Voyager the alternate future USS Challenger under Captain La forge. Several that was seen under construction along with Voyager at Utopia Planitia in the episode Relativity and Several unnamed Galaxy's that welcomed Voyager home in Endgame. Finally you forgot the USS Venture the enhanced Galaxy class ship with added phasers on the nacelles that docked at DS9 at the end of Way of the Warrior episode ( the USS Magellan is also believed to be a Galaxy class as she is named along side the Venture by Sisko in Favour the Bold episode ) also no other Galaxy class ships were lost to the Dominion in DS9 after the USS Odyssey. Only the USS Galaxy was badly damaged at the first battle of the Chin'toka System.

    12:38 - You're not completely wrong... While it was said that other ships, like the OG 1701 could separate, I seem to recall that the big deal with the Galaxy Class separation was that it was the first one that could also reassemble without the help of a starbase. I don't recall where I read this from, but it's a very clear memory for some reason. The old ships had to tractor the saucer section back to have it externally reconnected.
    Maybe someone else can fill in the blank on where I might have heard this from. Assuming this isn't some Berenstain Bears BS on my part.

  • @griffinsummoner
    @griffinsummoner ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The only argument I would make about the Constitution separation is that it was ONLY an emergency procedure, acting as a life-raft, allowing for it to safely crash land on a planet. Unlike the Galaxy class, it couldn't reattach itself, and required a shipyard to properly reconnect. It is a long-standing part of the specifications. You even claim we "never" see it on screen and then bring up this requirement when it was finally shown? The Galaxy is clearly the superior vessel, with the first (but not last) able to separate and reattach on a whim, but that doesn't mean we just ignore what we knew and finally saw.
    Like Boba-Fett's knee-rockets, it was something we saw and were excited to finally see acknowledged.

    @chrish.7563 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Probsbly someone already said it, but: the stardrive section did not have a third, forward facing torpedo launcher. It had an additional forward-facing phaserbank. The saucer section was the one with the third torpedo launcher that became operational only after separation, but it was facing aft. Why? The stardrive section already had the two torpedo launchers (one fore, one aft) that would be used even if the ship wasn't separated. Upon separation, the saucer section would be left with none, if these were the only two launchers. So a third launcher is installed in the docking cradle holding the stardrive section in normal combined flight mode which would only be exposed to space if the ship separated.
    Think of it as an extra poop chute revealed only when the ship dropped its pants.

    Sorry the 3rd torpedo launcher is in the 'Saucer Module' aft facing and can only be used in saucer separation mode and not in the Star Drive. pg 128 Star Trek: The Next Generation technical manual. It's an older type and not one of the Star Drive's tree deck tall mass driver 8 round bust fire/shotgun mode doom cannons.

    1701-D will always be special to me. I saw the first episode when TNG first aired. Captain Picard looking around the bridge, taking it all in, 10 year old me was hooked! I would go on to design my own spaceships in HS, collect technical manuals, take Klingon language lessons via mail (I still have the book and lesson corrections) belong to a Star Trek club under my dad's name, attend cons around the Bay Area, and dream about space exploration on the Enterprise while monitoring the skies through my telescope and atop Mt. Hamilton. I only have Shuttle Atlantis left to visit in Florida. Standing beneath them and wondering who will be standing in this exact spot two hundred years from now wondering themselves about those living in Orbitor times who dreamt of a life in space.

    I’m so happy you guys showed the USS Enterprise-D firing off 10 photon torpedoes as manual says it should ❤ a lot of us thought 5 forward an 5 aft when that happened but ya know there’s tons of room to stack um that way an fire away , rapid fire 10 of those baby’s an fire phasers at same time like riker commanded worf to do when the hunook ship battled the D just as always those writers let the other guys win , I’d like for once when they hammer an enemy with a ship like the D it does some damage to its equal

  • @SnakewithaGun
    @SnakewithaGun ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The Galaxy Class Enterprise D is my most favorite ship. Period. It is the most beautiful ship ever made and had so much character. Voyager was ok. The Defiant was too small but what they needed. A warship. But the D. The D is the ship that could do mostly anything. I'd love to see a Galaxy II Class. Keeping the shape of the original but just...enhancing it. I also love the ending of TNG. The Galaxy Class IV Dreadnought Enterprise D. If the Federation wanted too. The Galaxy class would become probably their mobile fortresses if they out fitted her to be for war. I know in the Dominion War they had wings of Galaxy's but got to realize that those galaxy classes where in complete. They had most of their systems complete but the interior was not. Just enough to function as fighter carriers, command ships, medical ships, transport ships, and such. Crewed with minimal crew to avoid loosing thousands of crew.
    The Galaxy class is the best ship period. She is a character herself. TNG got me into Star Trek. It's the only reason why I stay.

      As they mentioned in the video the Ross Class is the next version of the Galaxy Class, with larger more circular less elliptical saucer section, larger deflector and updated nacelles. It features warp rings embedded in the saucer for warp travel at warp 6 when separated. Industrial replicators included to set up colonies, crews 2,500 people, dubbed a "mobile Starbase" an evolution from Galaxy Class "mobile city".

    As an old school Trek fan, I was always supportive of Star Trek moving on beyond Kirk, Spock and company. So I was on board when TNG premiered. But frankly, the first two seasons of TNG are virtually unwatchable. It wasn't until the third season did the Next Gen cast finally find its footing. From Season 3 onward, TNG was brilliant...

    Fun alternate idea: After ol’ Enterprise-D saves the day (in Picard S3) and shows its capability against the entire “modern” Starfleet (with only a 7-person crew), they decide to give her a third nacelle and massive railgun-looking weapon, make her the new/old flagship. AND Captain Riker takes command. Q (death retcon’d) would approve 😉

    Data: I can pilot this ship through all the narrow openings in the Borg cube at speed.
    Geordie: The saucer is the only original part! Poor star drive. Why didn't we do a seperation and only take the star drive I built from scratch in the last 20 years into battle?
    Data: Must have been one of my other sub personalities distracting me, I would have normally suggested that. As there are no other crew or families on board it would have been a more efficient use of resources and power, than to power the whole ship. It is also much smaller. But no time for that now. We're going in.

    I grew up on the films, dad took me to see wrath of khan, search for Spock and voyage home when I was 7, 9 and 11 respectively. That should explain why my far favorite Enterprise or any other ship is the Enterprise refit, or the 1701A since body wise they were the exact same.
    I watched Next Generation from the start and it took me a long time to like the D. I thought it was too wide anf flat, and I thought the deflector looked like a cinnamon roll. As the years past though I came to really get a comfortable feeling with the D, I guess after 5 or so seasons it began to feel like home
    As the years past and we got into the next gen films and onto the E (which I loved too) I really kinda missed the D. With the way it went down leaving just the saucer section along with the fact that they didn't recreate it with the E the way they redid the refit body with the A, I figured I'd never see it again.
    Was pleasantly incorrect about that.

    The 3rd torpedo launcher was on the saucer section facing aft. It was only usable when separated since it was covered by the stardrive when docked. It makes since so that it could fire on vessels pursuing it when separated.
