If you're referring to Search for Spock, they chose the destruct sequence that wouldn't completely destroy the ship. It was in orbit around a planet, and if they picked the total destruction of the ship, it would have damaged the planet and killed life on it. Instead, they chose the "safer" choice. They could have chose a more destructive self-destruct if it wasn't near a planet, which would have totally destroyed the ship.
@@mbdelorenzo Not really. This is a TOS era movie, so I am not sure it applies but in the TNG tech manual for the Enterprise D it mentions this, and destroying the ship completely is more preferred. Recall, a single large piece of material is still a giant, mutli-ton bomb heading towards the ground which possibly is carrying anti-mater and weapons on board, much of which is stored in the engineering section of the ship. If that were to accidentally impact the ground would be worse than having a massive asteroid hit the planet. Total destruction might create small smaller debris, but it would be more closer to the Enterprise-D's warp core breaching than blowing up an asteroid, and what little debris is left would most likely be too small to get through the atmosphere.
I also liked that they increased the time from 30s to 1 minute, to at least give the bridge officers a small chance of getting to the escape pods or transporters
I like that detail from Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise that suggests the Enterprise refit has two destruct sequences to choose from; one that detonates the m/a reactor causing complete destruction of the ship and anything nearby (including probable catastrophic damage to planets) and one that "merely" set off specialized fusion (I think) explosives throughout the ship, rendering it unusable, but not completely disintegrated and without the possible catastrophic damage to nearby planets. They used the latter method in ST:III, which is why the burning hull of the ship fell through the Genesis planet's atmosphere. If the m/a core had blown, there wouldn't have been anything left and Genesis would likely have been damaged.
I used to have that book, back in the day. Good stuff. If I recall, using the final code "destruct 1" instead of "destruct 0" blows the reactor, as you described.
In that instance, the use of the planted charges was less about damaging Genesis and more about them not wanting to annihilate the Bird of Prey they were squared off against, since that would otherwise be their only ticket off the planet.
@@trisar2146 Very true! The dates in the book were incorrect, but I really liked Shane Johnson's overall work in the book and his work on the Star Wars Technical Journals for Episodes IV, V, and VI around this same decade.
I can see how the core could survive a starship's planetfall, but wouldn't the Enterprise's core have detonated anyway when the Genesis planet exploded?
I guess Enterprise and ST-Discovery fought with honor...too bad in this modern world our naval ships do not have an auto destruct button incase the enemy boards the ship and takes over...I rather die and take as many down with me, than be a hostage tortured to death
"Unable to initiate self-destruct sequence due to damage to secondary command processors." Then someone in engineering should grab a phaser, set that thing to maximum level and shoot at that damn warp core.
Exactly. Or drop the warp core containment field. The idea that you couldn't at least irreparably damage Voyager because of a few damaged relays is dumb.
It makes sense as a failsafe, @@jamesk9321... but it also highlights how some things shouldn't _have_ failsafes in certain situations, or how sometimes the failsafes need to have their own failsafes (fail-deadlies?). There should absolutely be a way to eject or bypass additional processing in case of emergency, albeit one that's hard to use and would never normally be accessible. Probably something like, say, a manual control in an environment that's inevitably deadly to all known forms of life, like, say, somewhere inside the warp core. If automation is disabled, and the crew are dead anyways, then they'd be willing to die a few seconds faster if you really _need_ to blow the ship up, right?

4:15 - 4:43 This is the most sophisticated self destruct sequence in the Trek-verse. Has two factor authentication (""Picard-Four-Seven-Alpha-Tango" followed by a second confirmation code "Destruct Sequence Alpha-One"). Its further confirmed by codes from two additional bridge officers (Worf and Dr Crusher) to avoid the possibility the Captain is compromised when initiating self destruct. I don't understand why in "Picard" (8:31 - 8:55), they reverted back into a much simpler passcode (Picard-Zero-Zero-Zero-Destruct-Zero) and no reconfirmation by other bridge officers which from a security perspective is not good given the possibility of the Captain (or Admiral) being compromised when giving the authorisation, etc.

@@JohnDiMarco oh yeah, I know only a smattering of Klingons were onboard when the Enterpise blew, but that's how she would've gone up fully crewed! Starfleet is a hard taskmaster... 😉
@@benives254 I think the Star Trek III auto-destruct was meant to deny an enemy control of the ship, not to allow evacuation of the ship. If you have an opportunity to evacuate, you would probably let nonessential crew leave before setting the auto-destruct.
I still say that the Star Trek 3 self-destruct is a very ineffective one given that it only blew up the bridge module and the forward half of the primary hull. If the Genesis planet hadn't been nearby and its gravity hadn't pulled the remaining two thirds of the ship in - burning it up in the process - then theoretically someone could have salvaged knowledge or technology from the wreck. Though the novel version of the destruct completely destroys the ship.
It's by design. That last code Kirk gives determines how the ship goes--000DESTRUCT0 is "blow a set of planted charges placed throughout the hull." The point was to not touch off the matter/anti-matter reactor because Kirk was gambling on still being able to capture the Bird of Prey and using it to escape. Enterprise's warp core going up could have severely damaged or even destroyed it and left them stranded on Genesis.
unfortunately unless you read the background on the destruct code you'd have learned there were 2 separate codes. destruct 0 was for planetary style where the matter/anti matter reactors wouldn't be destroyed and all anti matter bottles ejected to prevent loss of life while crippling the ship Destruct 1 would have caused the anti-matter seals to fail vaporizing the ship
They had originally planned it to just be a generic explosion, but Harve Bennett hated the visual of it, that it was boring and too much like the Death Star. The result was way more dramatic and a gut-punch. I'm glad they made that change.
@@jamesgoss1860 I agree Just seeing and hearing the primary hull collapsing prior to the final explosion was just a double fisted kick in the teeth signaling the end of an era
"Auto destruct is offline" is a ridiculous concept. All the ship has to do is release the anti-matter or shut off the warp core cooling. I'd argue it's more difficult for the ship's computer to keep the ship intact than to make it explode.
Remember, Riker unplugged one of the power cords and used it against one of the Scimitar's officers prior to Picard ordering the auto-destruct sequence. That power cord was what would have triggered the auto-destruct sequence had it stayed plugged in.
Most ships require 2-3 officers to be in agreement when setting the autodestruct sequence. Voyager lets the captain do it alone. Not sure THAT'S a good idea...

I've always wondered why Worf had destruct authorization on the E. Maybe when he beamed over he transferred his station over with the computer. That or the ships have always been linked through some kind of network unlike what Picard S.3 wants us to think. I can see the A being analog as Geordi calls it but not the D. Maybe after the crash in Generations Starfleet took her off the network.
They resort to destruct quiet regularly & sometimes destruct is the right option. Sometimes though i wonder if just having the option to fire the ships Narcels like mega missiles would be a better design choice/option.
Can I have the same self-destruct system on my house ? when robbers invade my home, I will activate it. Or I put it on my car in case someone steals it, I will simply send instruction to my car to initiate self- destruct

@@JohnDiMarco I think they Faked a Self-Destruct when Archer got flung into the future. Commander Tucker faked a self destruct by making it look like the Warp Reactor was overloading.
Was Janeway the only one that could do it by herself? I get it for plot devices but that's not a very good design. Redundancy was kind of part of the whole deal.
I didn't know self destructs need more than the captain to authorize, I've only started watching voyager and i thought only the captain can and needed to authorize self destruct
The Enterprise self-destruct on Star Trek 3 has to involve the entire ship not the saucer module with the warp core going into overload and the video is missing Archers Enterprise going to self-destruct for a finally
While it is not established on screen, the reference book "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise" explains that there are two destruct modes. "Destruct 1" overloads the warp core, but "Destruct 0" is designed to cause a lesser explosion in the vicinity of a planet or other ships. As for Archer's Enterprise, they never activated a self-destruct sequence as seen in these examples. Thanks for watching.
@@JohnDiMarco With the self-destruct it's not designed to cause minimum damage it's main purpose is to actually blow up literally destroying the star ship is you've seen Star Trek Generation where the Enterprise D's star drive actually goes boom. With Archers Enterprise you need to rewatch Star Trek Enterprise even though he didn't use the voice commands Enterprise did blow up in an alternate time line
@@simongrogan5740 Yes, I understand that completely blowing up the ship is normally how self-destruct works, but the book offered a possible explanation for why this case was different. While it is true that Enterprise exploded in an alternate timeline, I don't remember it being because of a self-destruct sequence.
Is self-destruct a thing in real life? Actually curious. It seems like, in modern times at least, having something wired with explosives ready to blow at a moment's notice would lead to a disaster of Hindenburg proportions.
In a way yes, it's called Scuttling. They place charges along a ship's hull, open all bulkheads, watertight compartments and portholes and evacuate the vessel, then they detonate the Scuttle Charges. The purpose of this is purely like destroying your own tank. Preventing the enemy from acquiring a valuable asset.
@@WhoWantsCake98 it’s done after telling all hands to abandon ship leaving just a few onboard to do the deed…it’s done by timer, they’re given enough of a countdown to run up from the bowels of the ship to the deck and get away. entire fleets have been sunk like that, check out the German fleet scuttling in 1918 as a huge example
A none military version of self destruct is with rockets. These carry explosives to blow them up if they go off cource. Destruction of equipment and information to stop it getting into enemy hands goes back centuries. Fire has always been the most common method.
I have always hated when Kira has any command rank on the Defiant. It's poor writing. She is not Starfleet, and has no say over the ship. Word outranks he on the Defiant. Or Eddington, then Dax and so on.
Ya know, it was going great, I even didn't mind that hideous Janeway dude with his stilted, raspy, annoying voice, but you had to go and utterly ruin it at the end by putting the STD infected Picard and that hideously vulgar cartoon at the end. Damn.
In the remastered version of TOS, they really cranked up the color saturation (and everything else they could throw at it via computer editing) so that in the extreme closeups of Nemoy, Dohan, and The Shat; the nicotine stains really stand out on their teeth.

Most of Voyager was arguably garbage. But we love it anyway.
Please refrain from inflicting upon us this--this General Order 6A! 😥
Kirk, Spock, Scotty all have brown eyes, just saying. 🤓
I know Kirk: he would wait until the last moment....
Self Destruct in 15 Minutes. There will be no further audio warnings.
I didn't know self destructs need more than the captain to authorize, I've only started watching voyager and i thought only the captain can and needed to authorize self destruct
Self destruct sequence already aborted. Have a nic e day.
They used this plot devices waaaay to often.
You'd think that Commissioner Bele could have used his mind to just strip the gears off all those clanking relays!
Hay algo absurdo en esas autodestrucciones. El sonido no se propaga en el vacío, así que no tiene por qué sonar ninguna explosión
Great Scott! 2:30

The Enterprise self-destruct on Star Trek 3 has to involve the entire ship not the saucer module with the warp core going into overload and the video is missing Archers Enterprise going to self-destruct for a finally
While it is not established on screen, the reference book "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise" explains that there are two destruct modes. "Destruct 1" overloads the warp core, but "Destruct 0" is designed to cause a lesser explosion in the vicinity of a planet or other ships.
As for Archer's Enterprise, they never activated a self-destruct sequence as seen in these examples. Thanks for watching.
@@JohnDiMarco With the self-destruct it's not designed to cause minimum damage it's main purpose is to actually blow up literally destroying the star ship is you've seen Star Trek Generation where the Enterprise D's star drive actually goes boom. With Archers Enterprise you need to rewatch Star Trek Enterprise even though he didn't use the voice commands Enterprise did blow up in an alternate time line
@@simongrogan5740 Yes, I understand that completely blowing up the ship is normally how self-destruct works, but the book offered a possible explanation for why this case was different.
While it is true that Enterprise exploded in an alternate timeline, I don't remember it being because of a self-destruct sequence.
毎度思うのだが、エンタープライズに現れたこのオセロ人間は何者…？

Is self-destruct a thing in real life? Actually curious. It seems like, in modern times at least, having something wired with explosives ready to blow at a moment's notice would lead to a disaster of Hindenburg proportions.
In a way yes, it's called Scuttling.
They place charges along a ship's hull, open all bulkheads, watertight compartments and portholes and evacuate the vessel, then they detonate the Scuttle Charges.
The purpose of this is purely like destroying your own tank. Preventing the enemy from acquiring a valuable asset.
@@enterprisethesylveon5787 That's interesting, thanks for the info. Is there a voice that counts down the seconds? Lol.
@@WhoWantsCake98 it’s done after telling all hands to abandon ship leaving just a few onboard to do the deed…it’s done by timer, they’re given enough of a countdown to run up from the bowels of the ship to the deck and get away.
entire fleets have been sunk like that, check out the German fleet scuttling in 1918 as a huge example
A none military version of self destruct is with rockets. These carry explosives to blow them up if they go off cource.
Destruction of equipment and information to stop it getting into enemy hands goes back centuries. Fire has always been the most common method.
So... They they never changed the default password?
Apparently not...
Well, it isn't just the proper code. You need three senior officers with distinct codes.
Computer. Initiate autodestruct. Authorization A-D-M-I-N. Code P-A-S-S-W-O-R-D
@@Acrosurge Yeah, but when those codes are basically 1A, 2B and 3C that sounds suspiciously default to me!
@@tanman99 "That's the kind of code some idiot would have on his luggage!" [Spaceballs] 😃
Dumping the proselytizing at the end of the content was gross.
Thanks for watching.
A woman in command need only her own sequence. Kirk need 2 others😂
I have always hated when Kira has any command rank on the Defiant. It's poor writing. She is not Starfleet, and has no say over the ship. Word outranks he on the Defiant. Or Eddington, then Dax and so on.
would love to see them do a CGI remake of the original Enterprise destruction
Oh hell no. CGI doesn’t compare to practical effects…..ever
bro why. the practical effects are stellar.
Ya know, it was going great, I even didn't mind that hideous Janeway dude with his stilted, raspy, annoying voice, but you had to go and utterly ruin it at the end by putting the STD infected Picard and that hideously vulgar cartoon at the end. Damn.
In the remastered version of TOS, they really cranked up the color saturation (and everything else they could throw at it via computer editing) so that in the extreme closeups of Nemoy, Dohan, and The Shat; the nicotine stains really stand out on their teeth.
Stard,ate,, 5709.17. All trekkies when in doubt, ok to use, you know about this way more than I do. Yes, it always works. For your own computer of course, and the multiverse, the omniverse, the underver,se. The over,,verse and other alternate universes. Please refer to tos star trek 1966 to 1969 inclusive if you happen to forget the codes.
time 8.33 not the same without Majel... 😓
