I think this video will need to be updated after next Thursday!!!
Yoooo!!!!!!! Def sooo!!!! #blazinbev
🤣
Riker: "Commence rapid fire with all weapons on full". hey man... did you forget that strategy when you were up against a 20-year old bird of prey?
You guys must a riot at Trek Con.
I think the first 2 torpedoes damaged power systems. Vaguely remember going over the official blueprints to figure it out myself.
I can't believe I watched the whole thing.. I can't believe I enjoyed it so much.
Me too
Im still in season 4
I can't believe it's not butter.
There's nothing quite as glorious as watching a Star Trek capital ship unleash a full broadside. And whoever came up with the ring-shaped phaser arrays running around the saucer was a genius.
I had a die cast model of the Enterprise D as a kid. All of the paint was chipped off of the phaser arrays because I loved that phaser charging/firing effect so much.
I didn't realise how little in the first season the ship actually used its weapons
I was surprised that it was so close to the end of the season before they even showed off the ship's phaser effect!
The influence of Gene Roddenberry who wanted as little conflict as possible.
@@neneshubby makes sense tho
Season 1 was a wash. No weapons no viewers.
@@neneshubby Peaceful intentions are useless most of time. There will never be a Utopia. Humanoids will always be in conflict. Roddenberry was always fighting the studio moguls. If Gene had 23rd century tech, he would have used it.
1000m from the surface? looked more like 1000km.
Federation ship: this is a quarantined ship don’t board
Enterprise: Shut up
1:23
@13:31 that's how I envision the Enterprise would do against a squadron of attacking Tie-Fighters. Just ignoring their lasers and insta-1-shotting them all. I almost feel like this was done on purpose.
Because the two waring races had like twenty second century level technology if that.
Even in SW Tie fighters are expandable pieces of crap. NOW check the TIE DEFENDER from Star Wars Rebels and see if that changes you mind.
The TIE Defenders are pretty awesome looking so are the TIE Phantoms but they came out long before Star wars rebels they were actually in an old game that ran on Windows 95 98 ME and sometimes XP called X-Wing alliance I believe they were also in X-Wing versus TIE fighter.
And the TIE Phantom was in a PlayStation game called Rebel Assault 2 it was a two crew fighter craft with a prototype cloaking device. Rebel Assault 1 was for Windows 95
That's why starfighters were unpopular in ST.
Also, just like SW, starfighter's shield wouldn't stand against shipboard phaser/turbolaser power, but insane accuracy in ST made it into a "you shall not pass" show for starfighters.
funny how this cut makes look like TNG is about constant war in space. in reality those weapons were always used as an absolute last resort
Time to do an updated video to include with Picard S3 E10.
"They found a way to penetrate our shields!"
"Great! Shoot them once with phasers and never attempt to shoot them again for the remainder of the battle.... least until the plot demands a recreation of Star Trek 6"
“Fire all stock footage!”
@@HawkGTboy
😂😂😂
Worst case of wimpy enterprise ever.
I know right? You're facing a ship that can run circles around you, has weaker shields then you, is antiquated technology and you fire only once while turning your back on them and putting your strongest phaser banks out of firing arc? I thought Riker was supposed to be smarter then that. A unrelenting volley of phaser fire and torpedoes would have likely saved the D from it's unwarranted destruction.
13:40 Simply incredible how sexy this multi-fire looks. I would have liked to see more of that.
If you did a compilation of every time Worf suggests a photon or phaser and gets told no - the video would be an hour long.
Enterprise when facing an almost invincible foe like the Husnock or Borg: fires phasers on full with a simultaneous spread of torpedos, commences rapid fire with all weapons on full.
Enterprise when facing a normal foe with different degrees af "defeatability" like a Romulan Warbird or a F**KING DEFECTIVE BIRD OF PREY FROM THE STONE AGE: best I can do is one phaser and maybe one torpedo.
Ridiculous.
"Do not board." The crew remembers what happened in year 2020. Proceeds to launch missile. Roll credits.
Watching this after Season 3 of Star Trek Picard. Could add footage on how Enterprise D flew through the Borg ship Millennium Falcon style and took it out!
Ppfwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Fucking love phasers.
The Survivors: 3:57 / 4:14 "Fire phasers on full, with a simultaneous spread of torpedoes." / "Commence rapid fire with all weapons on full!"
Generations: 19:00 "Fire one short phaser burst. Helm, hard to starboard so that our main torpedo launcher loses its direct line of fire!" * _Enterprise gets flogged by an obsolete junker crewed by exiles_
The writers of Generations turned Starfleet's finest into absolute morons so their idiotic plot could happen.
Generations was amazing
Exactly the Enterprise D should have easily been able to have destroyed the bird of prey within a few shots even without shields. I mean she can fire 10 torpedoes at once in a salvo!!
Torpedoes are guided weapons, the idea that you have to align to use em is ridiculous.
That only comes into play at warp speeds since the sustainer on a torp wont allow for fancy maneuvers.
@@trazyntheinfinite9895 Yes, torpedoes are guided. Regardless, firing them directly towards your target is obviously far more efficient than if the torpedo has to burn time countering its existing momentum, re-orientating, and then gaining momentum in the direction of the target.
Torpedoes are also not super-maneuverable, hence why starships fire a spread to minimise the chance of the enemy ship dodging. Firing them directly at the target seems like it would do a lot to limit the ability of the target to dodge.
Anyway the point here is not how likely torpedoes fired at an angle might have hit the target, the point is that the Enterprise didn't unload a full spread of torpedoes on the Bird of Prey immediately.
The fact that they started turning away isn't to say they couldn't still have fired the main torpedo launcher at that point - obviously they could have - it simply emphasises the fact that they have a perfect opportunity to fire but simply aren't doing it.
Man it just goes to show how much of a real asset Ron Jones' score was to the show, compared to the music-less scenes and how dry they can feel when they really shouldn't.
4:20 The red guy next to the door deserves an Oscar for his performance.
Hahaha my kids and me were just rolling in the floor over that guy
The D was so badass
sus
I can still remember freaking out as a kid when they did the multi-shot photon and phaser fire in "Arsenal of Freedom."
goosebumps every time
I absolutely love that episode and since they purchase those you know they could have used them to destroy or at least cripple those Dominion battleships I guess the starfleet forgot about them.
I know it's not Cannon at least not yet but you can get the Echo's in Star Trek Online.
There's another hole in the franchise. The Federation, Klingon Empire, and Romulan Empire were on the ropes in the Dominion war. Did they completely forget about the gadgets they found in the Arsenal of Freedom?
It took 21 episodes before we got to see the phasers fire. That's unusual.
Everything was made better with a full spread of phasers and photon torpedoes
Always hated the 4ft model... it's really noticeable from Season 4 onwards. Clunky design meh.
If this wasn't fiction, the Enterprise's performance in her final battle would almost be criminal. When the Klingon ship opened fire and was heavily damaging the Enterprise, they should have been hit with continuous phaser fire and a stream of photon torpedoes that would have overwhelmed their shields and made short work of the vessel. Instead,they get hit with a couple of short phaser blasts and Worf stops firing. We have seen what the Enterprise was supposedly capable of, but they almost never used their full firepower. Very frustrating. That is something that eventually ruined the series for me.
You could argue that the Enterprise couldn't return fire much because of the evasive maneuvers they were taking since the Klingons could fire through their shields.
But this was in the movie, so I wouldn't hold it against the show too much. Plus pre-Dominon War, the Galaxy class did kinda seem like glass cannons. They could dish it out, but not take. How many times did we see a couple shots knock out their engines or main power?
Hell just the Bozeman clipping the Enterprise's nacelle kept destroying the damn thing.
@@mveytia
The Bozeman is a _starship_ that weighs over a million tons.
@@Idazmi7 True, but the worst that should have happened was the warp reactor tripping offline, certainly not a warp core explosion. Just valve off the antimatter coming from heavily protected fuel cells and the reaction dies. Then the ship switches to getting power from the impulse engines, fusion reactors, or batteries automatically.
@@MK0272
We're talking about a million ton object slamming into the unprotected space warp propulsion nacelle at impulse speeds. A more direct collision would literally tear the whole nacelle clean off.
Also, the Enterprise-D is a _Galaxy Class_ ship, not one of the older, more militant designs from the original Star Trek era, like the Constitution, Enterprise, or Avenger class ships. Those older ships were designed in detachable segments that could exist independently, so if you blew up a nacelle, it wouldn't necessarily affect the reactor. The Galaxy class wasn't designed with that in mind, and is known for it's warp core issues.
They still should have vaporized that Bird-of-Prey as if they were swatting a fly.
The combat capability of the Bird of Prey is extremely inconsistent throughout the franchise
“Mr worf, fuck it fire at everything!”
Worf always gets frustrated AF when he finally gets to use photons/phasers and they do zero damage 🤣
For Reals! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:24 man: the USS lantree is a quarantined vessel by order of starfleet command and do not board
*1 second later*
fire!
1:28 i love how it looks like they just pull up behind the ship and immediately destroy it
I miss the hawk screech noise that the torpedoes made when fired
1:25 Was that out of context? Holy shit that was hilarious.
"Extreme caution: The USS Lantry is a quarantined vessel by order of Starfleet Command. Do not board."
(Pause) Torpedo destroys ship.
Picard: "Alrighty then. If I can't board then NOBODY BOARDS."
Typical Starfleet tactics:
- be under fire from powerful weapon / multiple enemies, consoles explode, shields down to 20%
- return fire by single short phaser blast
- repeat
yes after all these years i still fail to see the merit of explosing consoles and bulkheads :D
Worf : "The Borg ship wasn't harmed. One more hit and we finna be space dust."
Picard and Riker: Do it again, with a lil more umph.
Worf: Bruh....
I turned up the volume....why?............I made sure history never forgot.....the name.....ENTERPRISE!
20 minutes of weapons fire in 7.5 years. :)
When firing weapons 4 times a season was a big deal in a weekly tv show!
0:25, I have always hated how they inaccurately display distance in nearly every Star Trek series. He says 1,000 meters but they detonate in low orbit over 150 kilometres in space. Or a ship is said to be 100,000 kilometres away but it is clearly only 1,000 meters at most.
Yeah, the VFX guys always wanted both ships to be totally visible regardless of the actual situation. As for the torpedoes detonating too high, just laziness on their part.
Sometimes they get overzealous about using their fancy VFX skills. 13:56 the explosion lights up the planet surface, without blinding the camera!
@@vickas54
Yeah, that's just ludicrous. XD
Worf: *Smacks table* "We missed!"
Exactly how I feel playing FTL: Faster Than Light when all my weapons miss at the same time.
Can you do a compilation like this for The Original Series?
That's the best phaser/torpedo compilation I've come across 👍👍👍
_Enterprise D fires at the Duras sisters' rust bucket_
_state-of-the-art prototype BoP commanded by Chang explodes_
sounds legit
Stealing that scene from one movie before is pure insult, especially for a motion picture.
Yeah that was a shame but I'm guessing budget cuts they use the same scene in deep space nine quite a few times
and Data saying ''YES ! UNG !!'' JUST AWESOME !!
Yes it is and when they are falling out of orbit and he says oh shi*
Great video......but i still think the Enterprise D should have made mincemeat of those Kvort class "Birds of prey" in Yesterdays Enterprise.
Maybe they could, but its primary purpose was to take every shot aimed at the Enterprise C. When one of the cruisers broke off to pursue the Enterprise C, the D had to break off from the others it was fighting and take their unhindered attacks continually while it attacked the pursuing cruiser.
Also, ambushes are a thing, a less powerful adversary can take out a more powerful one if they get first strike (which the Klingons usually do with their shields).
Starfleet tactics, let the enemy fire first, then only return fire to disable instead of blow the shit outta the enemy
Ya Picard forgot to say "Fire phasers on full with a simultaneous spread of torpedoes" Followed by "Commence rapid fire with all weapons on full". That would have taken 2 of them out... no problem lol.
That's what the vfx team complained about, that the D would vapourise Birds of Prey without breaking a sweat, but they didn't have the budget to build a new class of Klingon battlecruiser that could more convincingly take on a Galaxy (and they felt the Star Trek I/VI battlecruiser was too old to convincingly play a role, although they changed their minds about that in DS9). They rationalised it that the Klingon warships in the episode are identical in design to the Bird of Prey but are much bigger than normal, which you can see later on when they fly over the D.
I think it was them arguing over that which led to the introduction of the Vor'cha class attack cruiser in Season 4.
As much as that Husnock warship was impressive, I found the Enterprise's full barrage against it that much more incredible. Holy fuck.
Need more of that energy against the that bird of prey in generations. Instead of sitting there while the shoot thru your shields, just unload on them and go on your way.
@@thallusa123 "Commend rapid fire with all weapons on full"
11:00 No more phaser fire coming from the torpedo tube!
Did that fix that for the dvd release, im going to go check Netflix now and see if the original is what is on there.
And worf finally gets 100% screen time.
I just realized Wesley is in uniform in Yesterday's Enterprise because they are so hard up they're recruiting teens.
He was also in uniform in Best of both worlds 1,2.
13:52 "forward toots armed and ready captain" - Worf
1000m was about the same height as Hiroshima lol not way above the planet
6:14 Fuck yeah. Dispersal pattern Sierra!
13:40 how I imagine the Enterprise D vs tie fighters
That was too easy.
I'm guessing you've also seen the classic Star Trek vs Star Wars, they do exactly this :D

Nice compilation! I would like to see Enterprise-E next
>>Captain orders you to fire 1000 meters short of the planet's surface
>>Fires willy nilly all over the fucking place
Someone confused meters with kilometers.
Wow! I just really enjoyed that compilation. Well done! Bravo!!
Set it up for a display blast, 10,000 km above the planet surface. Photons detonate 1,000m above the planet surface. Dammit wharf!
1000m would seem dangerously close anyway, even for a "display blast" ^^
@@powgames LOL only because of your response to this comment did I realize I had it backwards. It should have been set to detonate 10,000 km but it detonated at 1,000 m
@@nighttow8780 no, picard said "1000m short of the planet surface" and the torpedoes exploded at random distances much further away than 1000m xD
And btw, Riker was at tactical, not Worf ^^
Each torpedo can carry like a kilogram of antimatter. So a full volley of them would probably be enough to remove a planets crust.
@@nighttow8780do you even watch the show.
2:34 man season 1 phasers were so much more powerfull :) either that or Borg ships were made out of paper back then

She was a fine ship.
"Why doesn't Star Trek have fighters?"
Me: 13:42
Fighters are generally a totally idiotic idea...
@@p.herrmann4538 Yeah, just look at the widely unsuccessful Star Wars franchise *rolls eyes*
@@broncoguy4862 ...oh boi
...look if something that makes no sense logically would be a huge turndown... how many movies would suck? 90% ? xD
They had fighters in the Dominion War.
And then the ship crashed into the planet, the end.
Kind of a crap way to end such a wonderful ship, honestly.
Crap hardly covers it. A 20 year old outdated and retired BoP actually taking down a Cutting Edge Capital Ship by simply ignoring it's firepower with shields that somehow laugh at it saying: "Ha Ha, it didn't hurt me!" is the height of writer laziness. No wonder the Trek movies ran out of steam only three sequels later... to the point even Patrick Stewart and the other principles refused to do anymore movies. Saying they simply weren't inspiring enough anymore. It was time to clean house, but I guess the old production crew was too entrenched by then. Now we have a "new" Trek that's even worse, to the point I wonder what CBS is going to do. Seems no one is capable in today's generation of honoring what the original was about anymore. Well I probably could, picking up where they left off in Nemesis, but I'm not even sure if fans would like where I would take it. Especially factoring in Insurrection and Picard's quip about the state of the Federation. But in light of today's situation with our own American system... I would think at least it would resonate....
As a writer myself, I have a rule in creating a story that absolutely must be followed. People can agree or disagree as it's my rule and based off my observations over history. When beginning any story... especially a story told in "Chapters" (or in screenplay parlance "Episodes/Sequels") you absolutely HAVE to know the destination of where you are going before you start. Meaning, have the ending already in sight.... at least a rough outline if not the actual finished product. Then, fill in the journey as you go... building scene upon scene, act upon act, episode/sequel upon episode/sequel towards that destination. Resist the urge to simply wing a episode or scene without any idea of it's relevance to the whole.
Subplots can be useful if done correctly in creating "along the way" experiences that, while not overall important towards getting to the destination, they can provide respite in the sense of releasing the viewer to "enjoy the trip" more. Doing a little cinematic "sightseeing" via experiences that build memories, allow for more intimate character development, and so on. That's how I like to write... but then I'm rather old fashioned. I grew up in a household that had many American classics on (70's kid, when ToS Trek was in syndication) This kind of writing was really last seen in Deep Space Nine and Voyager, not so much in Enterprise, but it was there. Hence why I feel Enterprise didn't reach the level of the shows before it... but still lightyears ahead of Discovery and Picard.
Just my .02
@@joncouncil4454 I'm not actually sure any of the principles "refused" to do further Trek movies, they simply weren't deemed financially viable after Nemesis flopped. Stewart took a pay cut for Nemesis and even Brent Spiner wrote in an out for Data to be able to return, just in case.
But I certainly agree with you about writing principles. You can be loose and flexible and even change an ending midway through if inspiration strikes, but it's far better to know your ending if you are going down a serialized path. The latest Trek series have been beset by numerous BTS problems from losing showrunners to rushing production, but they certainly haven't been working with a proper roadmap to where each season would end.
Now THAT moment at 4:03 I was MISSING in Star Trek Generation when that stupid obsolete little Klingon Bird of Prey just fired their first shots at the Enterprise (and no, the torpedo launchers and phasers arrays where NOT hit on the Enterprise, as seen in canon, only the hull section near the impulse drive, but nothing else).
Yep- why they literally never do that again... is beyond me. Would have been handy in Yesterday's Enterprise too lol.
My head-cannon answer for this is that maybe the Enterprises power generation systems were damaged, such that they didn’t have the power available to fire off an Alpha Strike like we saw @4:03. Of course the real reason that the 1701-D was so easily defeated is that the sets and physical ship models were built for TV and not movies.
At 02:20 In "Q-Who" when the Borg cut the section out of the Saucer Section, did anyone else realise the Saucer is where the Family Quarters are located?
Meaning the Borg likely took Children.
It's also worth noting that the volume of the saucer section is absolutely mind boggling massive and even for the "large" crew size on the D, the absolute vast majority of it would be empty at any one time. There's enough space in there for every single crew member to have large, spacious cabin to themselves and empty ones next door for real peace and quiet.
Anika Hansen ring a bell to you? E'chep? No?
What do they have to do with my Comment???
My point is they never started acknowledging children and families being Assimilated, which was a form of Torture, until about 1997; and didn't show it until 1999 in Dark Frontier.
If anyone knows of any missing clips, please comment and let me know. So far there are clips missing from: 1x23 Skin of Evil; 4x22 Half a Life; 4x25 In Theory; 5x14 Conundrum; 7x24 Preemptive Strike. Only clips where the main weapons systems i.e. phasers and photon torpedoes are seen firing. Anything else is not primarily used as weapon system and therefore does not count.
Nice work, thanks.
You forgot the torpedoes fired between the Maquis and Cardassian cruiser in 7x24 Preemptive Strike.
I expected a few would get missed. There's at least 5 missing ones I know of.
0:54
_Worf slaps the console in frustration_ "We MISSED!"
The pattern LaForge anticipated was wrong because the device fired at the _Enterprise_ from behind!
This video misses a scene in which the Enterprise fires multiple phaser shots out of its forward torpedo tube. I don't remember the episode, but I thought it was the oddest mistake on the part of the special effects crew.
Darmok. They fixed that scene on later releases
This error was fixed in the remastered version. The phaser shots were moved to fire from the saucer. This is shown at 10:48
The galaxy really didn't get its teeth untill the dominion war refit. TNG she was a cruise ship, to an extent, family's civilians,.
As some have said, the Galaxy class was the height of Starfleet's/Federation hubris, having that powerful a frontline ship with families living onboard.
It was a pleasure cruiser by todays standards... big bulky thing... not designed for war.
In other words, until after Roddenberry passed away and the writers were allowed to write.
@@Hyperdriveuk This ship was heavily armed and could definitely fight in a war. The Enterprise D fought against superior opponents and survived. Even in Star Trek Picard we see how powerful this class of ship is. It can even maneuver into the interior of a ship with a maneuverability and speed that you wouldn't expect. So no, the Galaxy class may be a research ship, but in wartime it is on the front lines as one of the strongest ships in the fleet.
11:00 - in the original they used the torpedo port as a phaser. pitty mistake ^^
The last scene where riker says "fire" reminds me of ST6 the undiscovered country when kirk finally gets his torpedo and does the same thing.
The explosion was the same reused special effect
@@geraldpatterson3903 it looked like it was
@@Ablaze1983 it was, due to budget cuts for Generations, they literally re-used the same footage of Chang's BoP blowing up as the Duras BoP
Drunk off firing phasers and photon torpedoes...ahh
“The USS Landry is a quarantined vessel, do not board”
Picard: oh ok
*boom*
The Enterprise D will NOT surrender.
I feel odd for loving this, but I live for these sort of compilations from trek. Thanks!
While the phasers on the D are orange/gold, I don't get, why in so many games the phasers were red.
I was wondering if this was the FX from the old show , or the remaster , and then I saw "Darmok" (the ep famous for having the Enterprise shoot phasers from it's forward photon torpedo tubes ...) -- so now I know ... , this is the remastered stuffs . :)
Idk...that "display" looked more like 1000Km than 1000m
Ikr? Antimatter warheads 1 km above the surface would basically be like nuking the planet xD
This is a common problem in TNG -- the scene (and its dialog) is filmed one way, and then later the SFX crew receives the shots and kindof does their own thing (either due to some miscommunication, or because the dialog as filmed was impractical to visualize).
@@Paveway-chan actually what if be curious about is how a matter/ antimatter warhead would behave. Like, sure, big fireball, lots of concussive energy released. But how much ionizing radiation? Is there a gamma burst? An EMP? Is it going to irradiate the dust that got sucked into the space where the fireball used all the O2 and get turned into alpha and beta fallout? Using them in space avoids all of that. But at 1000m above a planet's surface those questions are kind of relevant.
Lol ya know, before i had to learn how to take a few key bits of data and map out the downwind hazard projections for nuclear, biological, and chemical weapon attacks...i never worried about what might happen if a m/am weapon was detonated above a planet's surface. I just didn't consider that kind of shit lol
@@Damocles54
A m/am bomb would produce exclusively gamma rays afaik, and a lot of them. This would lead to an absurd amount of thermal radiation and EMP, but I doubt we'd observe any more exotic effects than that. There wouldn't be any radioactive fallout at all, but otherwise it would behave just like any other kind of explosive
Man can you imagine what would it be like if in the mirror universe where the Terran Empire hadn't fallen if they built the Galaxy Class Dreadnaught I.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D that ship would be a virtual powerhouse of death and destruction the likes of which nothing in the Alpha and Beta quadrants of that universe had ever seen before and with being the strongest ship in the Fleet the Galaxy Class Dreadnaught Enterprise D would be unstoppable.
True, but my personal opinion is that "Yesterday's Enterprise" might have been meant to be TNG's equivalent to a Mirror Universe episode without actually having to use the Mirror Universe.

1000 meters from the planet surface is only 1 kilometer from planetary surface... that SFX shot looks like it was more suitable for 1000 km (or basically, 'Thermopause' - which extends 500 - 1000 km from Earth's surface for example).
SFX department would do well to make their effects look more in line with actual distances.
For example, phasers have a range of at least 150 000 km (on a Nebula class)... and Photon Torpedoes at least 300 000 km (again, Nebula class)... whereas since later seasons of TNG imply ranges of 300 000 km for phasers, and millions of km for photon torpeodes.
Would be great to see Trek space battles fought over such large distances (aka in line with technological abilities of Trek) to show just how powerful these things are (Teraton range firepower at maximum in late 24th century).
Supposedly most battles are over large distances, the view screen just magnified it a lot
"Try to disable them"
Wesley: Fires photon torpedo
0:40 That was a lot higher than 1 kilometer above the surface.
You wonder why Riker never was a tactical officer.
If only Riker had used the same tactic on the Klingon Bird of Prey that he used on the Hunsok Warship..
I would say so.
It doesn't solve the issue with Generations, but I have a theory that the Enterprise doesn't always fire as rapidly as they did against the Husnock warship because in battle they have to balance power requirements between the shields and the weapons. The shields were shorted out in that battle on the first shot, that might have given Riker the go ahead to fire everything more rapidly
7:30 - Shouldn't Shelby be giving that instruction to Worf? Since when does the helm control weapons? Makes sense that they should be able to if needed but Worf is standing there spinning his wheels right behind her.
Data wasn't the helm officer, he was Ops, plus she's telling him bcos he was an android that could compute and input random frequencies quicker than Mr Worf at tactical
I totally loved the video very much & the Enterprise D phaser Lance going right through the Klingon Warship is totally Amazing
5:50 'there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow, sir!'
Scrape 'em off, Jim!
1:22 now that's funny.
What about the earlier episode where the phasers were fired from the forward photon launcher? I remember reading someone lost their job over that.
Darmok... I always wondered, too. 😂
They actually fixed that in the remaster. 😁
@@wyattmann8157 This showed the fix in the remaster where the top saucer phaser fires instead. @10:58
Data's "YES!! HMMMPH" always gave me douche chills.
10:56 - It looks like this scene was changed with the Enterprise firing in the Damok episode. Originally, they were firing phasers from the forward torpedo launcher. Here's what it looked like in this vid: ua-cam.com/video/andoMOwR_4s/v-deo.html&ab_channel=BeauS I wonder why this scene was changed this way. It looks fine the way it was with a more of a view on 1701-D instead of just a view of the forward dorsal phaser array.
It was changed because it was a mistake. As you say, that's the Enterprise's forward torpedo tube. It was the only time in the series where that mistake was made so why not rectify it? Seems dumb to leave it in cos then you have to retcon a reason as to why the torp launcher can double as a phaser cannon.... Once.
The Yesterday's Enterprise battle scenes show just how slow the Enterpise moves during a tactical situation. At full impulse using maneuvering thrusters it could probably yaw, bank and roll a little faster. But the saucer section slows evasive maneuvers down a lot. Thats probably why she couldn't evade the weapons from the extremely old klingon bird of prey in Generations.
Lately in ds9, galaxy class starships have been shown to maneuver way faster, to the point where they look funny. I don't know, mate...
DS9 was ridiculous in having these huge starship zipping around in battle like TIE Fighters.

Canonically, Star Trek ships are _supposed_ to move like that. ever since the original show. They're in space, not water.
if the Enterprise D fired photons at rapid fire more often , she would hav been a bad ass , an lursas bird of prey got lucky shots due to Geordies viser would have never happen, an ig she been fitted with quantums , shed been hard to beat even romulans would have feared her , just saying
1v1 The Romulans did fear her
19:50 Where the shit are those phaser beams coming from in the top right lol.
That bothered the shit out of me ever since I was in 7th grade when that episode aired. There are emitters on the nacelle pylons but they face port/starboard, not forward.
@@HawkGTboy The emitter is capable of firing a phaser beam from any angle that wont hit the hull, as they protrude just slightly off the ship.
19:45 The best way to finish this video.
19:42 - A very hammy extra does the fist pump two seconds before Data. Kudos to TNG writers Ron Moore and Brannon Braga for pointing him out during the movie's DVD commentary.
Interesting. Galaxy class has the most numerous phaser banks among fed's top of the line battleship (second only after enterprise E) ,but she mostly only using her main saucer's.
Could be that the phasers are of varying class, and the large array around the saucer are the ship's "main battery", if there is such a thing in Trek
@@Paveway-chan good question, i had been wondering for the same question since long time ago. But according to actd galaxy have 11 arrays, memory alpha /ditl 12 arrays and they registered as type x phasers (in fact galaxy have 18 arrays w/ four for each of saucer's main arrays). So it safe to say that the smaller ones also rated as type X. The difference probably on how long they could fire burst before recharging it. In Nemesis, ent-e firing all of her available arrays. The first movie featuring all available phaser banks fire.
Edit : interesting opinion, yeah, agree, the main array = main battery. The smaller ones = secondary battery, they probably also recharging slower than the main one. But the output, very likely to be the same as the main array's.
@@thunderboltcougar5626
Yeah, could be larger/more resilient power lines rather than the phasers themselves. But those saucer section phaser banks are also the ones with best coverage around the ship, it might simply be more convenient to fire those
@@Paveway-chan yes, true
The Excelsior class is also armed with a very large number of phaser banks if you take into account that it can fire two simultaneous shots because of each bank firing from twin/dual-emiters. The Uss Lakota (as seen in DS9) is said to have been armed with 30 phaser emitters spread across 15 banks, hence why it was able to fire well over a dozen shots on the Uss Defiant in the span of just a few seconds. From what we've seen on screen, Sovereigns, Galaxies and Excelsiors seem to be very "phaser heavy". The Intrepid (as seen in Voyager) also seems to have a very solid amount of phaser strips.
Very slick, love it! You missed a couple though. The torpedo destroying the shuttle at the end of 'Skin of Evil', the torpedoes into the sun in 'Half a Life', the torpedo to light up the nebula in 'In Theory' and the practice phaser burst in 'Conundrum'.
There was always going to be a few that got away!
A photon torpedo 1000m short of the surface would do some serious fuckery? Antimatter reaction is more power than nuclear fission.
Nah the torpedoes can be set to new years celebration mode.
The really funny is that riker had them detonate in orbit, not 1 kilometer above the surface.
AND more powerful than nuclear fusion! In fact, you can't get a more energetic reaction, unless zero-point energy generation is real.

if the BORG
had seen that
they would've left at
