    So I have decided to revisit the iconic TOS Enterprise 1701 A / Refit from Star Trek, but this time designing each deck one by one. Deck I-U, a fully realized 3D model. Part 2 of 2. This is part two of the Enterprise NCC-1701 A or refit which will mainly cover the secondary hull.
    The refit was the most extensive the Enterprise NCC-1701 underwent during her lifetime and involved an almost complete rebuild of the ship. This level of refit had always been part of the mission plan for Constitution-class ships and the Enterprise was just one of several in the class that underwent the procedure, which greatly extended their potential operational life.
    The warp engine was upgraded to serve for another 15 years, but other Constitution-refit Constitution-class ships class ships remained in service until the 2290s.
    While the structural frame of the ship was on their predecessors but retained, the hull plating was completely renewed.

    Refit/1701-A will always be the definitive Enterprise, I think. The artists learned a lot from the 1970's other big franchises inclusion of exterior details like seams in hull plates, and they did a really fantastic job of integrating that with the Enterprise's uniquely graceful lines. I like the enormousness of Picard's Enterprise, and the sharp bows and concave flare of its neck that recalls ocean-going vessels of the late 20th century, but in the end the refit is the best.

    This is tremendous work! I wrote the SFAM4 book in 1984, that talks about building the AMT 1/537 kit with lighting. I worked with Andy Probert on a lot of the details and functions. Two things: the four recessed panels on top of the Sec Hull are emergency flush vents for Engineering. And as depicted in the McCall concept art (and Probert VIP lounge art) the inboard parts of the nacelles worked together to create a visual "wake", like oars in water. A sequential energy flow that would push the ship, leaving a beautiful violet blue wake behind it. I copied this in my (first ever) lighted 1/537 kit, with sequential lights in the nacelles. The FX were too costly for TMP and dropped (but that's why the grilles face each other).

      Paul, something I can't help but wonder: Why include grilles on the outboard panels of the warp drive nacelles, that never seem to light up (until later versions of the show, after Next Generation, where the engines seem to glow all the time, for no good reason)?

    • @n.w.1803
      @n.w.1803 Рік тому

      @Dr. Technical I just thought of a cool reason, and very Probert-esque: Maybe they manufacture the nacelles as standard, interchangable units, that can be swapped or used on either side, as needed (or between different ship types, for that matter, as on Reliant or Stargazer). Kind of like the turbines on the A-10, which are made deliberately to rotate in the same direction, so engines can be swapped out as needed to repair battle damage..
      They look pretty symmetrical, except I guess for the little finials at the stern end.

While I like and appreciate certain aspects of all of the Enterprise designs, from the original design(s) of the classic series through the E of the TNG movies, the refit of the Constitution class Enterprise for STTMP will always be my favorite, and perhaps the most elegant Enterprise design of all...

    As I noted on you NCC-1701 part 2 video, the refit turned the Warp Core vertical, but it doesn't directly have anything to do with the Impulse Drive. I think the main reason for putting the start of the intermix chamber in the primary hull, as I said, is to consolidate Main Engineering in one place. Plus, the matter for the matter/antimatter reaction is the same for both system, hydrogen..So they can inject the fuel from the same place.
    The refit also hooked the phasers into the Warp Core, so putting one end of it in the saucer probably helped with that. The Warp Core would be jettisoned if the saucer had to separate anyway. (So it's a non-reversable action)
    Interestingly, the Enterprise-D and Voyager returned the Warp Core to the secondary hull, and Main Engineering has always been there as well. Maybe Impulse Engines no longer need constant monitoring like they did in the TOS Era. (Or maybe Warp technology is safer to be around)

    Yeah we saw what happened to one of the torpedo bays being destroyed was during the Battle of the Mutara Nebula where the U.S.S. Reliant NCC-1864 under the command of Khan opened fire on the Enterprise with it's phaser cannons destroying the port side torpedo bay and killing 2 crewmembers but it's scary to think if the Reliant's aim was higher it would have struck the neck structure instead and if that had happened the Enterprise would have been blown in half causing the ship to explode killing everyone onboard and if that had happened Khan would've had his revenge for the death of his wife.

    You have done a fantastic job in part 1 I've only just started this second part.. it's so detailed I think we could use it in real life as a design draft to actually build it.. obviously things like the warp drive could be replaced with electric plasma rocket engines and nuke reactors and em drive's as the impulse drive and the various other sci-fi stuff replaced by real world equivalents and other things useful to our actual scientific research needs.. the deflector could even be replaced with something similar like plasma deflection or acoustic sound waves to push stuff.. but at our realistic speeds it's probably not needed but a good chance to test and improve shielding and deflection ect but at least 95% of your main hull is definitely achievable I think.

    Only issue I have is the central open area in the torpedo bay. Khan's Reliant cut from the front to the middle docking port on the Port Side, engulfing the entire area and some poor dude in the process. That would've made that entire midsection unusable, yet that had Spock funeral in that chamber. My guess, there 2 separate launch rooms, not combined. I think we see this many times in the movie.

    Really nice work. Though I would like to point out that the shuttle craft model being used is the Type 6 shuttle craft, not the Type 5 which was used in STV. Type 6 shuttles didn't exsist until the later seasons of ST: TNG. Again, very good work.
    Also, the first bridge of the 1701-A was a reuse of the bridge from ST2. The bridge was later changed in STV, and then it was changed again in STVI. Main engineering was seen only three times. ST:TMP and STII:TWOK used the same engineering section, though some changes were made in STII. Main engineering was never seen again until STVI, where it received a major overhaul, using a redress of the engineering set from ST:TNG.

      Because warp travel itself is a loophole bypassing relativistic restrictions. A ship at warp isn't actually moving. Only the space around the ship which carries it. So colliding a warp capable object or torpedo at a specific target, likely would not have any kinetic energy to transfer. Otherwise everyone and their mom would be doing it.
