Enterprise is vastly underrated. Too bad it got canceled. 🙁 Watching the Trek universe in the age of humans struggling to figure out the things that later become givens was immensely fun.
Agreed. It wasn't helped by the fact that most shows need a season or two to really get settled in to what they want to be, and there's a lot of people who see "prequel" and immediately translate that as "garbage". I mean, yeah, there are a lot of limits on what a prequel series can do before the fans decide to watch something else. The prequel can't interfere with the established storylines of the already-existing characters and entries; the benefits of more-advanced special effects can't always be used for in-universe tech, because they'd upstage the tech that was supposed to exist later; and the bigger the stories the prequels tell, the more the audience starts to wonder why no one mentioned them in the later in-universe stuff.
@@DJRonnieG Those movies were so OOC for the universe they had to change how time travel worked in said universe, going from a more Back to the future style to MCU style time travel. I'd love to read or watch something either fan-made ( Fanfiction, Fan series, Fan movie, etc.) or official work on how the future temporal star fleet (either the one's from Voyager or Enterprise.) tackle why they left it as is to develop separately.

You used the TNG warp scale, which is meant to be used in eras AFTER the original cast movies. Unless the creators of Star Trek: Enterprise stated that they were using the TNG warp scale, Star Trek: Enterprise would have used the TOS warp scale, and in the TOS warp scale warp 5 isn't over 200 times the speed of light, but 125 times instead.
In ENT: "The Expanse" and "The Xindi" they used warp 5 with 200 times the speed of light (50 lightyears in 3 months)! They were not consistant with the warp scale in ent, or in any show. That's why things like subspace distortions, the Cochrane factor, and other neat in-universe explanations found their way into the scripts. It's very relative. And don't forget, it's not the ship that moves through space, it's the space that moves... Gives you a headache when you imagine a couple of hundreds of ships "traveling" at warp speed simultaniously - and it does not explain what it is on the sol scale... :D For me personally it is already hard to imagine the in comparison very simple relativity theory of Einstein in a mathmatically correct way. Let alone quantum mechanics.... Warp Drive would be something based on physics beyond quantum mechanics and Einstein's relativity and in relation to a subspace that is unknown to today's physics. So I was always happy with the "inconsistencies" and trusted the writers to be as reasonable accurate as possible or needed.
I loved the theme song. The show was extremely well written. Well acted. And the clever episodes where they filled in the gaps. The defiant. The different looking Klingons. The tholians. The first meetings with the Andorians. That and the Vulcan was smoking hot second only to seven of nine.
Warp Speed is a Cube factor of the warp speed Warp 1 - Speed of light Warp 2 - 8 x Speed of light Warp 3 - 27 x Speed of light Warp 4 - 64 x Speed of light Warp 5 - 125 x Speed of light
At least it was in TOS which ENT uses. I. In the 24th century they use a different scale where 10 is infinite speed so warp 5 is 200x on that scale. They just used the wrong warp scale in the video
It would take days to get to a nearby star at 125x. They made all the way to the Klingon homeworld in a few days and they hadn't reached warp 5 at the time. If Vulcan is 16.5 LY from Earth and Qo'noS is 143 LY distant, NX should take weeks to get between homeworlds, not days.
there was also a cochrane coefficient so it was slightly more then that but that is the basic formula. they added the coefficient because even at warp 5 traveling a light year would take just under three days so a trip to Alpha Proxoma (4.26 LY) would take about 13 or 14 days. still later they added warp lanes that were where the space/subspace boundary was weaker due to repeated warp passages along the same route. the upshot is that a warp factor whatever ship could make trips faster than the formula would allow otherwise.
The NX-01 refit is in the Rise of the Federation books, as the Columbia-class. It makes a lot of sense, and it would have been nice to have been seen on-screen. They also missed out Chef; *clearly* the best feature of the NX-01 was the running gag(s) of a) the audience never seeing Chef's face, and b) being the only person on the Enterprise to be referred to by their title only. Everyone always criticises the last episode where Riker plays the part of Chef, but I think it was a nice nod to the running joke.
@Chris George There's a Lobi weapons set, I'm missing the spacial torpedoes and console. I'm loving the phase cannons. There's also a warhead console on it, not a bad one at that
My favourite thing about the NX-01 was allways how the starfleet was just like "so we didn't actually put guns on the ship, so you just have to go on your long and dangerous mission without them. But here is a small number of crappy torpedos. You better hope you don't use them all." But to be real, i really liked the Upgrade the Enterprise got at the end of S2. The Show was great at showing progression in the Starfleet and it's technologie.
Not gonna lie, the NX class and the Venator are my two favorite ships in all of fiction. When i played Star Trek Online years ago, i gladly purchased the pack and used the NX class in-game, no matter how bad it was, it was fun to play with. Really wish it would get more love and not be hated on so much :(
I liked the NX-01 -- it's one of my favorite ships stylistically. The refit also looks cool, though I wonder why the deflector on the saucer stayed when they added one on the engineering hull....
Rip trip. Wanted to see him and topol to be together but instead they killed him off. Spent so much time watching this and caring for the crew. It shocked me and it still does cause it took me a while to process it.
At least they waited until the end to kill him off, seen to many shows that you meet a new character, get to see their backstory, and are then killed in an average of about 4 episodes.
I would have loved to have seen the NX-01 Refit in action.... All we get is a small snippet of it in Picard, Season 3. At least I have a physical model of it from Eaglemoss. That was a must-buy.
Thanks for the Video, and well who could forget the Phlox's Menagerie of Wierd Alien-Medical Equipment and the all too favorite decontamination booth where they scrubbed their backs to clean away any....strange alien bug
The NX retrofit he mentioned at the end is available as a playable endgame ship in Star Trek Online. You have to buy it through the Lobi store by earning lobi crystals through the in game lottery system.
.......Enterprise and TOS era warp scale is linear Warp 5 is 5 times the speed of light, it wasn until TNG when the scale became exponential with 10 representing infinite velocity.
True story, my high school's library (which was renovated in 2002) was designed to look like the inside of the NX-01's warp nacelle. I have no idea why. During the opening tour, the librarian actually said it was based on the Enterprise, so this wasn't just a coincidental thing.
The TOS and Enterprise warp scale is speed of light times warp factor cubed. Thus, warp 1 is the speed of light, warp 2 is 8 times the speed of light, warp 3 is 27 times the speed of light, etc.
In TOS, the (Time) Warp Factor was the cube root of the speed of light, so Warp Factor 4 was 64 times the speed of light, and Warp Factor 5 was 125 times the speed of light, and Warp 6 would be 216 times the speed of light. The maximum speed you could travel at warp was "0.73 of one light year per hour", according to Gene Roddenberry, which would be warp 18.57 in TOS, or between 9.9 and 9.99 in TNG.
Osmium is the densest naturally occuring element, so it is decent protection against radiation. If an Osmium alloy could make it a little more malleable (osmium is quite brittle) or somehow make it denser, that would be very helpful.
if they found particles that could be substituted in for the protons, neutrons and electrons then the hand wavium elements in the sci fi shows could easily be made real. the bonding strength between nucleons and between valance shells scales with the distance of the bonding quanta such as gluons or the strong force. so if the spacing was shorter the material strength goes up and it is logarithmic 5th power stuff. so you'd have materials that could hold up to even the environment on the surface of a neutron star or inside a regular star with ease. however the stuff would be so dense that max allowed thickness would be about 1/4 inch or else it would collapse into a black hole. chemical bond release energy would be equivalent of a nuclear bond energy release. it would be tightly packed enough to make practical neutrino sensors even cameras. and element instability would not exist for elements equivalent in atomic number to uranium very much past the heaviest elements we now know of.
3:09 Nop it`s wrong, Torpedos wasen`t the first wepons of the Enterprise! Look at the first episode at 1:03:21 thy use a kind of plasma wepon like the Y Fraigters... in serial number 01:09 Familienbande Time 21:55 (netflix German version all timestamps)
Actually Enterpirise had a ton more features...little robots that fixed the hull, different space shuttle, better shielding and weapons but the writters wanted older tech, underdog ship.
As much as we all love Scott Bakula, I feel they made a misstep making him Captain. Now hear me out. Trip should have been the Captain. In my version,He's young, eager and his 'Pappy developed the engine, he's been flying since he could walk and he wants to explore. He's brash, puppy like and its about the crew and humanity learning to mature. T'pol and Trip falling for one another over time could have actual drama because of the conflict of interest getting an ensign killed when Trip chooses T'pol over them in a rescue. He knows his reason damn it, but Phlox is the one to show him the reality of it. Archer is brought in to Command temporarily with Starfleets urging by the Vulcans in the wings. Trip wins back respect and trust when he matures and retakes the chair. Some changes are Archer is more Military and there's a push to make Starfleet a military institution, but Trip isn't and is a part of those who lean to being an exploration group. Trip's more the John Crichton type to Archers Jack O'Niel. I can imagine Travis sides with Trip and at first, Malcolm with Archer with Hoshi playing reluctant intermediary thinking both are being jock idiots
You know what fascinates me about EVERY futuristic themed scifi franchise? No form of entertainment that exist in 2 or 400 years of more, from movies and/or holograms, to sports to books to music or any type of other form of entertainment, exists past the time they were filmed IRL For instance, in Enterprise, the sport they watched was water polo Movies was early 20th century black and white movies On TNG 20th century jazz, opera and classical 18th century music instrumentals were played and almost nothing past the 20th century was played on any holodeck in any franchise Star Trek thought of futuristic tech like cell phones, tables, personal desktop computers and so forth since 1966 but they couldn't create a futuristic form of entertainment like UA-cam or Tik Tok? The predicted that baseball wouldn't exist after the 2030s but the sports they DO have are racquetball renamed hoverball but has no hovering whatsoever?
Parresies squares Velocity Springball B'aht Qul Ambojutsu Kadis kot Tongo There are also several examples of original stories being produced as plays or holodeck programs beyond just re runs of Sherlock Holmes stories and simulations of established sports. The reason it's not as fleshed out as it could be is likely because adding such layers to a show already on a break neck production schedule is just not practical. Not only does it require substantial creative energy but set prop and costume design play a part as well as the issue of bringing the viewer onboard. Using Sherlock as an almost universally recognized starting point for a story already involving lots of new ideas and alien concepts, like holograms becoming randomly sentient. The more familiar the elements of your story are the less explaining you need to do and the more room you have to just tell your story.
@@DrewLSsix Parresies squares? Did you ever see it played in any series? The closest we ever saw to an actual game description was that it was dangerous and it was apparently played on a four square set Velocity is just target practice firing low power phasers at target spots on the wall B'aht Qul? what's that? How's it played? Was a game ever filmed? Ambojutsu? Blindfolded pugal sticks? Kadis kot a board game similar to checkers more than anything Why not mention 3D chess? Tongo? All I saw of it was some kind of card game where you throw latinum in a bowl mounted on a lazy susan None of these games were really ever get fleshed out to any real degree, none of these games were in any way look like thrilling games to play or watch IMO What kind of music styles evolved over the last 400 years? What's the new football or soccer? Does basketball still exist? Is there a 24th century form of tv Is there any form of mass enertainment left that exist in ANY form after the year 2000 that can be popular by people OTHER than those PLAYING the game itself Hell, the only board games (?) that still exist is kadiskot and Kal Toh the only really thrilling sport I ever saw on ANY star Trek franchise was Tsunkate from Voyager season 6 and all it was was outer space MMA
You forgot the hideous, unspoken of device that no one on the crew wanted to go into, but ironically became a staple in later seasons... the transporter!
What I don't understand about that song is why they just couldn't just use Rod Stewart's recording instead of making a remix with a guy that actually does sound like him.
The song itself isn’t bad, the arrangement just didn’t fit in with the mood of the show. My husband & I (two former musicians who both appreciate a good ballad) always quickly skip over it because the contrast is jarring. Have to agree w/the 🧐 about Trip moving between the two ships at Warp - although, since the two Warp envelopes (ok, don’t @ me, I realize that may not be the correct terminology) were merged into one bubble surrounding the two. Would that make the relative speed survivable (akin to how one isn’t blown away while walking down an airplane aisle while in flight)? Again, don’t @ me, I’m not presenting myself as an expert or anything.
Yeah should have replaced the catwalk with the transporter since it wasn't an intended feature. Catwalk was just a place they fled to and hoped it would protect them
ENT was decent, might be the last good thing in ST Universe. Especially I like ships of that era, Andorian, Vulcan, Klingon, Romulan, Xindi, and of course NX-o1, all look great to me
Check out Lower Decks. Yes, it's a comedy, but it has that heart that Discovery and Picard seemed to have lost, and it pays homage and respects the media that has come before it.
Give Lower Decks a shot. It's a comedy, but the best way to describe it is, it takes Star Trek Cannon and Lore VERY serious... But doesnt take itself serious.
picard is alright im binging it atm,its tone is dark with a "the federation is collapsing,im old etc" kinda vibe? but each star trek series has a vibe to it,IE voyager is literally about being lost and trying to get back home with hostile shit on the way...TNG is the federation at full power and ENT is humans being outmanned and outgunned and a small fish in a big pond but punching up etc
Yeah I wish they had concentrated more on the politics and the founding of the federation and not on the xindi storyline but I agree it was the last star trek as far as I am concerned.
"The SWEET SPOT, that supposedly, "all ships have one". A point in the ship, where the artificial gravity, "flips", and you can actually float up, and sit safely... on the ceiling. Travis, showed Tucker, and explained it to him...briefly.
@@jesusmora9379 I just reread my thing here, and..you're right. I blame my English writing teachers, insisting on so many commas in even the shortest sentences; it's, really, a huge, nusance.
Dates back to the Original Series, it was in one of the early scripts but got cut, the writer later wrote tie-in fiction and included it in (at least) one of their books.
@@berthulf That's an amazing bit of history far too few ever hear of. Thankfully someone saw fit to eventually get it in a show..before it was lost forever.
The phase cannons weren't fitted because the ship was rushed into leaving spacedock early, it's also why the targetting system wasn't up to scratch to begin with as there hadn't been the time to get everything completed.
It's been a long time since I saw the series, but didn't Archer not even want the torpedoes? I seem to remember him having wanted the NX-01 to be exploration and diplomacy only, and being pissed at being overruled.
The ship did not even have all the spare parts loaded. When an important machine part failed, one out of five, Archer had to negotiate with an easily offended alien species for a spare. The warp drive works with four, but not with three. If this happens out of communication range, nobody will ever find out what happened to the Enterprise. Archer then brought his dog do the negotiations and let it pee on a sacred tree. When they offered him the opportunity to apologize, he thought they should apologize to h i m , because the dog got sick from it.
Star Trek Enterprise is the most realistic out of all star trek show, some area of NX-01 have no gravity, the shuttle dock using docking clamp, and it’s electronic system is similar to today electronic system
And crappy 4:3 TFT monitors hanging everywhere like they did in the real-world early 2000's. I actually liked that a lot! It gave the NX-01 this sloppy improvised prototype vibe.
NOTE: We used the TNG scale for warp speeds when figuring out the speed of warp 5 and warp 4. Warp 5 is still roughly double warp 4 in the TOS scale, but the exact number of times is wrong: warp 5 should be 125 x speed of light and warp 4 is 64. (we should have used the TOS scale, since this is before TOS)
If you used the TNG scale you would realize that warp speed is NOT light speed. Warp 10 is the speed of light. This is why you cannot go faster than the Warp 10. It would require infinite energy and you would be every where simultaneously. This is also why the ships Max speeds are always Warp 9.996 and Warp 9.998 and such.
@@jamesmarciel5237 no, that is not the case, in the TNG scale light speed is 1 cochrane, warp 1. Warp 10 is simultaneously being in every place of the universe at once.
And I almost thought i wouldn't understand the nice diagram too, but fortunately it was British Ben talking nonsense :P Assuming the solid green/yellowish, wich turns into a dotted line after warp 3.0 is the ship-speed, you can extrapolate this line to Warp 5.0 where it intersects the line that marks 125x speed of Light on the logarithmic scaled y-Axis. Btw, does anyone know what the red line means? Extrapolating the red line to Warp 5.0 we would end with something above 200x speed of light. Could this be the TNG-Warpscale?
@@derphysiker1062 the red line is supposed to be power usage. The idea being that it's hard to cross the boundary but then it gets easier again. Not fully supported by what we see on screen but that's what it's supposed to be as far as I know
Yea it looked cool Everything was minimalistic and functional No waste But the enterprise D is my favorite design That B.T.E Dan man who actually wants us to build a full size Enterprise Should start with the NX 01
The NX01 was designed by my long time friend, Doug Drexler. If you watch the ST:E episode: "Deadstop", I made the NOMAD desk model in Maywether's cabin. I visited the sets, and they were awesome. The engine room was huge!
I really wish the nx got the refit sooner while the show was ongoing as it really makes it look more like a traditional star fleet ship. And ST Enterprise was criminally underrated
I don't know why, Enterprise is my favorite trek series. Perhaps because its the one that got me into trek. Never really understood why did it end like that. Wasted potential imo.
So when is British Ben going to start a "Generation Trek" YT Channel? Generation Tech = Alan's Primary Channel Generation Films = American Ben's Primary Channel Generation Trek = British Ben's Primary Channel
I love the nx-01 enterprise!!!! Just always felt closer to how space travel would be if we did have vessels for long distance....deep space exploration....no food replicators....instead they had chefs...the bridge was much smaller....no super shields...polarized hull playing instead....it isnt my fav star trek ship...that goes to DS9s defiant...but its def in my top 5...
Well, Osmium is the most dense metal that we currently know of, so it would be surely a viable protection against any kind of radiation. Problem is, it is ultra-expensive and super rare on Earth, so you'd have to mine it from metal asteroids, which would make it even more expensive. So it kinda makes sense that only the catwalk of the NX Enterprise was coated in that metal.
@@virginiaconnor8350 No i liked the original cast as well but you know how hollywood politics go, and if the same writers were kept onboard it would still be similar
Thank you for sharing your interesting TOP 10, I am sad that some narrow mind people cut the series short and I agree the refit would have been great as the connecting factor to the constitution class
It also had a firepole, connecting the bridge to engineering. We never see it and there is no dialogue relating to it but Doug Drexler has recently mentioned it on another youtubers channel. That is probably the least known detail about this particular class of ship
Im probably one of the very few people that do not like the NX01 refit. I think to space out starship evolution that a secondary hull wouldn't happen for a while. And it loses the sleek design for a more bulky and awkward look.
If I remember my Trek lore correctly, the warp factor is equal to the cube root of your relative speed to light; ie wf2=8c (2×2×2), wf3=27c (3×3×3), wf4=64c (4×4×4), ect; so warp 5 would be 125 times the speed of light. At least it would if TNG hadn't messed with the formula (now it's relative speed of light equals X to the power of ten 1/3ds or something like that) and capped wf10 as being infinite speed.
I was always under the impression that when they "polarized the hull plating" they weren't making the hull "harder", they were giving it some sort of charge that would dissipate various forms of incoming energy discharges, like weapons fire. That's why in the show we saw those blue waves coming off the hull when it was struck, it was acting like an electrical ground. Also, I dont think the catwalks were designed to protect the crew, from neutron storms or otherwise. From how they talked about it, they were probably more like Jeffies Tubes, just there so the crew could perform maintenance and repairs inside the nacelles.
Yes he makes it sound like the catwalks where design for people to go in in case of an emergency they were not they. In the episode thay had an emergency situation and they came up with the idea to go in the catwalk.
Yeah Catwalk primary role was that it was a service area for Warp nacelles. Since it was the only place that was shielded enough during the neutron storm it made for relatively safe, if cramped living space during such emergency. But the Warp drive had to be shut down IIRC, so there wouldn't be a radiation coming from nacelles.
Funny he posts the video today: right above my monitor is the Star Trek 2021 Ships of the Line Calendar and February has the NX-01 refit as it's feature ship. Great cutaway of the interior of the refitted ship which has warp 7 capabilities. Also full 360 degree views of the upgraded ship as well.
One of the very few Star Trek ships I really, really like. The “early tech” look made the NX-01 more real and believable to me than most other ships in the Star Trek franchise.
you know, I actually like the cheezy theme song. it's cheezy, but by the end of the show, the lyrics actually get pretty on-point with the context of everything else, and it even nails the atmosphere, I would say, the "now or never, and even if they win archer might still die.
nah picard is good...and so is discovery. shows that life off the enterprise was a shitshow at best...just like life always is...no matter the improvements its still never perfect.
@@DrewLSsix yeah me n my dad still watched it and loved it. Star trek is good no matter what lmfao as long as it is entertaining and has a moral to it its still star trek.
If you think using the grappler was the most unbelievable thing in Star Trek, you obviously haven't watched Star Trek Discovery. That is so unbelievable in so many ways including having TARDIS like turbo lifts, a junior officer to captain program, and some kind of problem with the life support that causes everybody to cry all the time. I stopped watching before the end of season three, I won't be watching season 4.

I can’t think of a trek series with a bad theme song, at least the ones that I’ve watched. And that’d be up to this series.
Let's be fair, the song and music, was beautiful, but, didn't really fit.
As for the plot armor... it's vital, for all movies/TV franchisees.

And how Vulcan Society changed slowly. Lets be honest, at the beginning of the show, most Vulcans were insufferable jerks.
I watched an interview from the designer of the ship and he mentioned there was also a firepole leading from the bridge area straight to engineering.
No such thing as coincidences, I started re-watching Enterprise yesterday :)
Warp Speed is a Cube factor of the warp speed
Warp 1 - Speed of light
Warp 2 - 8 x Speed of light
Warp 3 - 27 x Speed of light
Warp 4 - 64 x Speed of light
Warp 5 - 125 x Speed of light
Huh the more you know I guess thanks
Not true.
At least it was in TOS which ENT uses.
I.
In the 24th century they use a different scale where 10 is infinite speed so warp 5 is 200x on that scale.
They just used the wrong warp scale in the video
It would take days to get to a nearby star at 125x. They made all the way to the Klingon homeworld in a few days and they hadn't reached warp 5 at the time. If Vulcan is 16.5 LY from Earth and Qo'noS is 143 LY distant, NX should take weeks to get between homeworlds, not days.
there was also a cochrane coefficient so it was slightly more then that but that is the basic formula. they added the coefficient because even at warp 5 traveling a light year would take just under three days so a trip to Alpha Proxoma (4.26 LY) would take about 13 or 14 days. still later they added warp lanes that were where the space/subspace boundary was weaker due to repeated warp passages along the same route. the upshot is that a warp factor whatever ship could make trips faster than the formula would allow otherwise.
Ahh, the NX-01. Such a show I watched since they started when I also started in a new city.
The phase cannons were not installed because the ship was launched ahead of schedule. You should know that, after watching season 1 episode 1.
The NX-01 refit is in the Rise of the Federation books, as the Columbia-class. It makes a lot of sense, and it would have been nice to have been seen on-screen.
They also missed out Chef; *clearly* the best feature of the NX-01 was the running gag(s) of a) the audience never seeing Chef's face, and b) being the only person on the Enterprise to be referred to by their title only. Everyone always criticises the last episode where Riker plays the part of Chef, but I think it was a nice nod to the running joke.
I thought the Enterprise theme song was quite well placed and fit into the idea of Enterprise.

Macfarland actually made two cameos during the series, one in season 3 and one in season 4
My favourite thing about the NX-01 was allways how the starfleet was just like "so we didn't actually put guns on the ship, so you just have to go on your long and dangerous mission without them. But here is a small number of crappy torpedos. You better hope you don't use them all."
But to be real, i really liked the Upgrade the Enterprise got at the end of S2. The Show was great at showing progression in the Starfleet and it's technologie.
Not gonna lie, the NX class and the Venator are my two favorite ships in all of fiction.
When i played Star Trek Online years ago, i gladly purchased the pack and used the NX class in-game, no matter how bad it was, it was fun to play with.
Really wish it would get more love and not be hated on so much :(
I liked the NX-01 -- it's one of my favorite ships stylistically. The refit also looks cool, though I wonder why the deflector on the saucer stayed when they added one on the engineering hull....
Either as backup or it just worked in tandem with the new one.
Rip trip. Wanted to see him and topol to be together but instead they killed him off. Spent so much time watching this and caring for the crew. It shocked me and it still does cause it took me a while to process it.
At least they waited until the end to kill him off, seen to many shows that you meet a new character, get to see their backstory, and are then killed in an average of about 4 episodes.
I would have loved to have seen the NX-01 Refit in action.... All we get is a small snippet of it in Picard, Season 3. At least I have a physical model of it from Eaglemoss. That was a must-buy.
Thanks for the Video, and well who could forget the Phlox's Menagerie of Wierd Alien-Medical Equipment and the all too favorite decontamination booth where they scrubbed their backs to clean away any....strange alien bug
You forgot the quantum beacon that allows them to see cloaked ships.
I think this list was more features that Starfleet had made for the ship since that was future technology and it only really work on somethings.
those were from the future
I NOICE
The NX retrofit he mentioned at the end is available as a playable endgame ship in Star Trek Online. You have to buy it through the Lobi store by earning lobi crystals through the in game lottery system.
.......Enterprise and TOS era warp scale is linear Warp 5 is 5 times the speed of light, it wasn until TNG when the scale became exponential with 10 representing infinite velocity.
That would mean it takes the Enterprise almost 1 year just to reach the nearest star, Proxima Centauri.
Um...no.
True story, my high school's library (which was renovated in 2002) was designed to look like the inside of the NX-01's warp nacelle. I have no idea why. During the opening tour, the librarian actually said it was based on the Enterprise, so this wasn't just a coincidental thing.
Yay british Ben
also the NX-01 refit is now canon as of S3 of Picard as it's at the fleet museum
Personally I like the design of the NX-01 the most. The other newer ones had dishes that just looked too big in relation to their bodies.
HEY! I like the opening theme.
The TOS and Enterprise warp scale is speed of light times warp factor cubed. Thus, warp 1 is the speed of light, warp 2 is 8 times the speed of light, warp 3 is 27 times the speed of light, etc.
You totally forgot the best feature - the T'Pol breastworks!!!
In TOS, the (Time) Warp Factor was the cube root of the speed of light, so Warp Factor 4 was 64 times the speed of light, and Warp Factor 5 was 125 times the speed of light, and Warp 6 would be 216 times the speed of light. The maximum speed you could travel at warp was "0.73 of one light year per hour", according to Gene Roddenberry, which would be warp 18.57 in TOS, or between 9.9 and 9.99 in TNG.
Commonly missed weapon for Enterprise. Pulse Cannon, used only in the 2 part Broken Bow premier episodes and never mentioned again.
Osmium is the densest naturally occuring element, so it is decent protection against radiation. If an Osmium alloy could make it a little more malleable (osmium is quite brittle) or somehow make it denser, that would be very helpful.
if they found particles that could be substituted in for the protons, neutrons and electrons then the hand wavium elements in the sci fi shows could easily be made real. the bonding strength between nucleons and between valance shells scales with the distance of the bonding quanta such as gluons or the strong force. so if the spacing was shorter the material strength goes up and it is logarithmic 5th power stuff. so you'd have materials that could hold up to even the environment on the surface of a neutron star or inside a regular star with ease. however the stuff would be so dense that max allowed thickness would be about 1/4 inch or else it would collapse into a black hole. chemical bond release energy would be equivalent of a nuclear bond energy release. it would be tightly packed enough to make practical neutrino sensors even cameras. and element instability would not exist for elements equivalent in atomic number to uranium very much past the heaviest elements we now know of.
Eventually federation starships used the combination of energy shielding and polarized hull plating to maximize ship defense.
do a video on why klingons look different in the OG
Fans when enterprise first came out: YOU'RE A DISGRACE!
Fans now: Enterprise was great, i just couldn't see it
The Phase Cannons were supposed to be installed on Thursday!
The Beast Mothership from Homeworld Cataclysm
3:09 Nop it`s wrong, Torpedos wasen`t the first wepons of the Enterprise! Look at the first episode at 1:03:21 thy use a kind of plasma wepon like the Y Fraigters... in serial number 01:09 Familienbande Time 21:55 (netflix German version all timestamps)
Actually Enterpirise had a ton more features...little robots that fixed the hull, different space shuttle, better shielding and weapons but the writters wanted older tech, underdog ship.
As much as we all love Scott Bakula, I feel they made a misstep making him Captain. Now hear me out. Trip should have been the Captain. In my version,He's young, eager and his 'Pappy developed the engine, he's been flying since he could walk and he wants to explore. He's brash, puppy like and its about the crew and humanity learning to mature. T'pol and Trip falling for one another over time could have actual drama because of the conflict of interest getting an ensign killed when Trip chooses T'pol over them in a rescue. He knows his reason damn it, but Phlox is the one to show him the reality of it. Archer is brought in to Command temporarily with Starfleets urging by the Vulcans in the wings. Trip wins back respect and trust when he matures and retakes the chair.
Some changes are Archer is more Military and there's a push to make Starfleet a military institution, but Trip isn't and is a part of those who lean to being an exploration group. Trip's more the John Crichton type to Archers Jack O'Niel. I can imagine Travis sides with Trip and at first, Malcolm with Archer with Hoshi playing reluctant intermediary thinking both are being jock idiots
You know what fascinates me about EVERY futuristic themed scifi franchise? No form of entertainment that exist in 2 or 400 years of more, from movies and/or holograms, to sports to books to music or any type of other form of entertainment, exists past the time they were filmed IRL
For instance, in Enterprise, the sport they watched was water polo
Movies was early 20th century black and white movies
On TNG 20th century jazz, opera and classical 18th century music instrumentals were played and almost nothing past the 20th century was played on any holodeck in any franchise
Star Trek thought of futuristic tech like cell phones, tables, personal desktop computers and so forth since 1966 but they couldn't create a futuristic form of entertainment like UA-cam or Tik Tok?
The predicted that baseball wouldn't exist after the 2030s but the sports they DO have are racquetball renamed hoverball but has no hovering whatsoever?
Parresies squares
Velocity
Springball
B'aht Qul
Ambojutsu
Kadis kot
Tongo
There are also several examples of original stories being produced as plays or holodeck programs beyond just re runs of Sherlock Holmes stories and simulations of established sports.
The reason it's not as fleshed out as it could be is likely because adding such layers to a show already on a break neck production schedule is just not practical. Not only does it require substantial creative energy but set prop and costume design play a part as well as the issue of bringing the viewer onboard.
Using Sherlock as an almost universally recognized starting point for a story already involving lots of new ideas and alien concepts, like holograms becoming randomly sentient.
The more familiar the elements of your story are the less explaining you need to do and the more room you have to just tell your story.
@@DrewLSsix Parresies squares? Did you ever see it played in any series? The closest we ever saw to an actual game description was that it was dangerous and it was apparently played on a four square set
Velocity is just target practice firing low power phasers at target spots on the wall
B'aht Qul? what's that? How's it played? Was a game ever filmed?
Ambojutsu? Blindfolded pugal sticks?
Kadis kot a board game similar to checkers more than anything
Why not mention 3D chess?
Tongo? All I saw of it was some kind of card game where you throw latinum in a bowl mounted on a lazy susan
None of these games were really ever get fleshed out to any real degree, none of these games were in any way look like thrilling games to play or watch IMO
What kind of music styles evolved over the last 400 years? What's the new football or soccer? Does basketball still exist?
Is there a 24th century form of tv
Is there any form of mass enertainment left that exist in ANY form after the year 2000 that can be popular by people OTHER than those PLAYING the game itself
Hell, the only board games (?) that still exist is kadiskot and Kal Toh
the only really thrilling sport I ever saw on ANY star Trek franchise was Tsunkate from Voyager season 6 and all it was was outer space MMA
You forgot the hideous, unspoken of device that no one on the crew wanted to go into, but ironically became a staple in later seasons... the transporter!
You left off the forward facing plasma cannons that were....well....crap.
that refit is more of a retrofit really.
I was hoping there'd at least be some dolphins
Their is no recoil in energy weapons what force is exploding?
What I don't understand about that song is why they just couldn't just use Rod Stewart's recording instead of making a remix with a guy that actually does sound like him.
53rd
The song itself isn’t bad, the arrangement just didn’t fit in with the mood of the show. My husband & I (two former musicians who both appreciate a good ballad) always quickly skip over it because the contrast is jarring.
Have to agree w/the 🧐 about Trip moving between the two ships at Warp - although, since the two Warp envelopes (ok, don’t @ me, I realize that may not be the correct terminology) were merged into one bubble surrounding the two. Would that make the relative speed survivable (akin to how one isn’t blown away while walking down an airplane aisle while in flight)? Again, don’t @ me, I’m not presenting myself as an expert or anything.
You forgot the early transporter that nobody liked using.
Yeah should have replaced the catwalk with the transporter since it wasn't an intended feature. Catwalk was just a place they fled to and hoped it would protect them
Especially after what happened to crew mate Jeff Goldblum
@@skyranger1366 and Ensign Musca Domestica?
I quite liked the idea of chef and his galley!
ENT was decent, might be the last good thing in ST Universe. Especially I like ships of that era, Andorian, Vulcan, Klingon, Romulan, Xindi, and of course NX-o1, all look great to me
Check out Lower Decks. Yes, it's a comedy, but it has that heart that Discovery and Picard seemed to have lost, and it pays homage and respects the media that has come before it.
@@tsnap4 its just a referance machine, i dont get why ppl say LW decks is a return to old trek.
Give Lower Decks a shot. It's a comedy, but the best way to describe it is, it takes Star Trek Cannon and Lore VERY serious... But doesnt take itself serious.
picard is alright im binging it atm,its tone is dark with a "the federation is collapsing,im old etc" kinda vibe?
but each star trek series has a vibe to it,IE voyager is literally about being lost and trying to get back home with hostile shit on the way...TNG is the federation at full power and ENT is humans being outmanned and outgunned and a small fish in a big pond but punching up etc
Yeah I wish they had concentrated more on the politics and the founding of the federation and not on the xindi storyline but I agree it was the last star trek as far as I am concerned.
"The SWEET SPOT, that supposedly, "all ships have one". A point in the ship, where the artificial gravity, "flips", and you can actually float up, and sit safely... on the ceiling. Travis, showed Tucker, and explained it to him...briefly.
you sound like william shatner
@@jesusmora9379 I just reread my thing here, and..you're right. I blame my English writing teachers, insisting on so many commas in even the shortest sentences; it's, really, a huge, nusance.
Dates back to the Original Series, it was in one of the early scripts but got cut, the writer later wrote tie-in fiction and included it in (at least) one of their books.
@@berthulf That's an amazing bit of history far too few ever hear of. Thankfully someone saw fit to eventually get it in a show..before it was lost forever.
The phase cannons weren't fitted because the ship was rushed into leaving spacedock early, it's also why the targetting system wasn't up to scratch to begin with as there hadn't been the time to get everything completed.
It's been a long time since I saw the series, but didn't Archer not even want the torpedoes? I seem to remember him having wanted the NX-01 to be exploration and diplomacy only, and being pissed at being overruled.
@@tba113 yeah, more of a pacifist than an explorer even. Bad optics due to Vulcan misinformation at the time.
YOU LEFT SPACE DOCK WITHOUT A TRACTOR BEAM, PHOTON TORPEDOES, TARGETING SYSTEMS OR PHASERS?!?!?
The ship did not even have all the spare parts loaded. When an important machine part failed, one out of five, Archer had to negotiate with an easily offended alien species for a spare. The warp drive works with four, but not with three. If this happens out of communication range, nobody will ever find out what happened to the Enterprise.
Archer then brought his dog do the negotiations and let it pee on a sacred tree.
When they offered him the opportunity to apologize, he thought they should apologize to h i m , because the dog got sick from it.
@@JeanLucCaptain they were going to be installed tuesday
Star Trek Enterprise is the most realistic out of all star trek show, some area of NX-01 have no gravity, the shuttle dock using docking clamp, and it’s electronic system is similar to today electronic system
And crappy 4:3 TFT monitors hanging everywhere like they did in the real-world early 2000's. I actually liked that a lot! It gave the NX-01 this sloppy improvised prototype vibe.
@@andreasklindt7144 Well....it IS a kinda rushed Prototype.
NOTE: We used the TNG scale for warp speeds when figuring out the speed of warp 5 and warp 4. Warp 5 is still roughly double warp 4 in the TOS scale, but the exact number of times is wrong: warp 5 should be 125 x speed of light and warp 4 is 64. (we should have used the TOS scale, since this is before TOS)
You forgot the first organic matter Transporter. Shouldve been no 2 after the engine. Probably the second most advanced technology on that ship
If you used the TNG scale you would realize that warp speed is NOT light speed. Warp 10 is the speed of light. This is why you cannot go faster than the Warp 10. It would require infinite energy and you would be every where simultaneously. This is also why the ships Max speeds are always Warp 9.996 and Warp 9.998 and such.
@@jamesmarciel5237 no, that is not the case, in the TNG scale light speed is 1 cochrane, warp 1. Warp 10 is simultaneously being in every place of the universe at once.
And I almost thought i wouldn't understand the nice diagram too, but fortunately it was British Ben talking nonsense :P
Assuming the solid green/yellowish, wich turns into a dotted line after warp 3.0 is the ship-speed, you can extrapolate this line to Warp 5.0 where it intersects the line that marks 125x speed of Light on the logarithmic scaled y-Axis.
Btw, does anyone know what the red line means? Extrapolating the red line to Warp 5.0 we would end with something above 200x speed of light. Could this be the TNG-Warpscale?
@@derphysiker1062 the red line is supposed to be power usage. The idea being that it's hard to cross the boundary but then it gets easier again. Not fully supported by what we see on screen but that's what it's supposed to be as far as I know
Enterprise is my favorite star trek series
Mostly because I thought that the whole naval aesthetic was really cool
Same
I think they nailed the visuals pretty good on the ship and in the show in general. It was a bit slow to build up but I liked it.
Yea it looked cool
Everything was minimalistic and functional
No waste
But the enterprise D is my favorite design
That B.T.E Dan man who actually wants us to build a full size Enterprise
Should start with the NX 01
The NX01 was designed by my long time friend, Doug Drexler. If you watch the ST:E episode: "Deadstop", I made the NOMAD desk model in Maywether's cabin. I visited the sets, and they were awesome. The engine room was huge!
It's a shame this show gor canceled after Season 4. It was just getting really good.
It did go past season 4...in a parallel universe.
I really wish the nx got the refit sooner while the show was ongoing as it really makes it look more like a traditional star fleet ship. And ST Enterprise was criminally underrated
they had a fireman's pole leading from the bridge to the engineering deck
Dammit! We need more firepoles in space ships.
Lol
@@daverage4729 Leading to the bat cave
I miss Enterprise so much! Sometimes I dream about seeing a unaired episode and it's the best feeling ever.
I don't know why, Enterprise is my favorite trek series. Perhaps because its the one that got me into trek. Never really understood why did it end like that. Wasted potential imo.
I still listen to that song. When someone listens "I believe I can fly" I will say "i have my own variant" 😂 😂 😂
So when is British Ben going to start a "Generation Trek" YT Channel?
Generation Tech = Alan's Primary Channel
Generation Films = American Ben's Primary Channel
Generation Trek = British Ben's Primary Channel
I love the nx-01 enterprise!!!! Just always felt closer to how space travel would be if we did have vessels for long distance....deep space exploration....no food replicators....instead they had chefs...the bridge was much smaller....no super shields...polarized hull playing instead....it isnt my fav star trek ship...that goes to DS9s defiant...but its def in my top 5...
Additional fun fact, there was another kind of torpedo: Spatial Torpedo warheads could be swapped out for nukes for when shit really got real.
Happy Sheridan noises
Well, Osmium is the most dense metal that we currently know of, so it would be surely a viable protection against any kind of radiation. Problem is, it is ultra-expensive and super rare on Earth, so you'd have to mine it from metal asteroids, which would make it even more expensive. So it kinda makes sense that only the catwalk of the NX Enterprise was coated in that metal.
Thanks for the explaination
Loved the weapons progression in ST:E. Just like how in Stargate they worked up from railguns and Missiles to Directed Energy Beam Weapons
FEATURE 11:
spycams in T'Pol's quarters and bathroom
*giggity*
this is my favorite Star Trek series...fight me!
No, I don't want to fight you. It's my favorite too and was killed just when it finally found its legs.
I loved the NX-01 style of ship it was great and if they wanted to change the cast they could have no problem
@@RadarLeon No! Please don't change the cast! I like the ones there! Who knows who they'll kill off and replace!
@@Restilia_ch I really liked the origin story aspect of it.
@@virginiaconnor8350 No i liked the original cast as well but you know how hollywood politics go, and if the same writers were kept onboard it would still be similar
The intro to enterprise is not cheesy it is uplifting and encouraging.
I liked it too. I used to sing along to it.
The first one was ok, the "remix" eh......
@@mementomori7825 the remix was a bit rough. It actually reminded me of Quantum Leap though.
Truth.
then the Mirror universe alt opening that was just amazing.
Rewatching Enterprise ATM, 👌 perfect timing
HEY!!!!! I happened to *like* the theme song from "Star Trek: Enterprise"!!!!
It's a good song, but after all the previous theme songs had given me future sci-fi techno vibes, hearing this song just kinda made me go "wot?"
Damn it now I have to watch enterprise
Too bad Scott Bakula never once said "Oh, boy". At least there was Dean Stockwell aka Al.
Thank you for sharing your interesting TOP 10, I am sad that some narrow mind people cut the series short and I agree the refit would have been great as the connecting factor to the constitution class
still much better than STD
It’s a fantastic theme song!!!!
It also had a firepole, connecting the bridge to engineering. We never see it and there is no dialogue relating to it but Doug Drexler has recently mentioned it on another youtubers channel. That is probably the least known detail about this particular class of ship
Im probably one of the very few people that do not like the NX01 refit. I think to space out starship evolution that a secondary hull wouldn't happen for a while. And it loses the sleek design for a more bulky and awkward look.
Excellent episode! Now take off that silly hat. It makes you look like a dufus.
If I remember my Trek lore correctly, the warp factor is equal to the cube root of your relative speed to light; ie wf2=8c (2×2×2), wf3=27c (3×3×3), wf4=64c (4×4×4), ect; so warp 5 would be 125 times the speed of light. At least it would if TNG hadn't messed with the formula (now it's relative speed of light equals X to the power of ten 1/3ds or something like that) and capped wf10 as being infinite speed.
Yeah so warp 5 was like 214 cochrane (1 cochrane = 1x speed of light) and warp 4 was 100 cochrane
My favorite Enterprise ever, my favorite Captain and my favorite Star Trek uniform.
I was always under the impression that when they "polarized the hull plating" they weren't making the hull "harder", they were giving it some sort of charge that would dissipate various forms of incoming energy discharges, like weapons fire. That's why in the show we saw those blue waves coming off the hull when it was struck, it was acting like an electrical ground.
Also, I dont think the catwalks were designed to protect the crew, from neutron storms or otherwise. From how they talked about it, they were probably more like Jeffies Tubes, just there so the crew could perform maintenance and repairs inside the nacelles.
Yes he makes it sound like the catwalks where design for people to go in in case of an emergency they were not they. In the episode thay had an emergency situation and they came up with the idea to go in the catwalk.
Yeah Catwalk primary role was that it was a service area for Warp nacelles. Since it was the only place that was shielded enough during the neutron storm it made for relatively safe, if cramped living space during such emergency. But the Warp drive had to be shut down IIRC, so there wouldn't be a radiation coming from nacelles.
Didn't it also attract dust to the hull in an episode?
polarizing the hull exactly as you say, make it dissipate incoming energy, not hardier to penetrate.
Funny he posts the video today: right above my monitor is the Star Trek 2021 Ships of the Line Calendar and February has the NX-01 refit as it's feature ship. Great cutaway of the interior of the refitted ship which has warp 7 capabilities. Also full 360 degree views of the upgraded ship as well.
One of the very few Star Trek ships I really, really like. The “early tech” look made the NX-01 more real and believable to me than most other ships in the Star Trek franchise.
It's never a good idea to leave your aft portion defenceless!
Ha I got that calendar for Christmas and I was wondering where that refit came from!
Osmium is one of the densest metals there is, so an osmium alloy may be effective as a radiation shield.
Any chance at some Orville videos? They got ships.
You forgot about it being the first Terran ship to have transporter technology.
you forgot Vulcan massages with a happy ending
you know, I actually like the cheezy theme song. it's cheezy, but by the end of the show, the lyrics actually get pretty on-point with the context of everything else, and it even nails the atmosphere, I would say, the "now or never, and even if they win archer might still die.
You could've saved yourself alot of words in the beginning by just saying "the last real Star Trek show"
nah picard is good...and so is discovery. shows that life off the enterprise was a shitshow at best...just like life always is...no matter the improvements its still never perfect.
I was thinking the same thing
Do you remember when Enterprise was absolutely reviled by the fans? I do.
@@DrewLSsix yeah me n my dad still watched it and loved it. Star trek is good no matter what lmfao as long as it is entertaining and has a moral to it its still star trek.
Ah! the Intro song that made me watch something else. I remember.
Would have loved to have seen the refitted version in action.
If you think using the grappler was the most unbelievable thing in Star Trek, you obviously haven't watched Star Trek Discovery. That is so unbelievable in so many ways including having TARDIS like turbo lifts, a junior officer to captain program, and some kind of problem with the life support that causes everybody to cry all the time. I stopped watching before the end of season three, I won't be watching season 4.
NX-01 is my fav enterprise and I HATE the refit ... it already ties into future designs thanks to the awesome Akira ...
