WOW! This is truly awesome Rob! You may have just shown us the Enterprise through more action than throughout the entire series! 🤣I know, I know, the technology was limited back then, but I love how you bring her back to life and perform as she was meant to.
@@robbetz I have no doubt it will be impressive. I have always hoped to see the Connie refit demonstrate her full firepower potential. If the original Connie could destroy a small planet, the refit with phasers alone could do a bigger one. Such is the power of a phaser beam. Add 100 MT torpedoes and you dont need quantum versions of the same. Then use the space time warp to go back and get the specs on the Genesis torpedo and modify that to be fired from photon torpedo tubes. Perhaps that is too much firepower. Dr McCoy would have a little to say on it I am sure!
Really enjoyed the watch, I appreciate Star Trek never really showed space combat as more true than BSG and the expanse but I wonder if you could for example show the Enterprise using thrusters for example to turn, I know you only see them from the TMP error and onwards it makes sense that the the Enterprise would use them to help her turn etc, loved the phasers and torpedo design, make sense in a modern audience. I get the feeling also if they had the space they would alternate between impulse and warp in combat (appreciate a asteroid field would make that difficult). Overall really, really cool Video, hats of to you for some fantastic work.
@robbetz Well, from what I recall, because Star Trek had used Industrial Light & Magic for the special effects, they had actually stuck the Millennium Falcon in, at least the Borg attack in, First Contact. Jolan tru!
That's fair but it's difficult to convey agility and scale at the same time. I wanted to do something beyond the 15 minute graceful beauty shots. Though I can't promise I won't do future videos with ridiculously long beauty passes. Especially for the Connie refit. When she's done the video showcasing her will likely be ridiculously long!
That's exactly how maneuverable and precise the Enterprise should move. I think fixed forward weapons of the Klingons and Romulans only make sense with extremely maneuverable, fighter like, ships. That would place the Enterprise as being setup more like a bomber because of the multiple, small, numerous phaser banks. But, even it has fixed forward torpedo tubes which make sense as the main weapon, more than just a chase weapon, so even it is supposed to angle in like a fighter. Here are the best examples of speed: Impulse: ua-cam.com/video/OdRUL8RbDw8/v-deo.htmlsi=YuG_565zV46SNO_n&t=135 Warp: ua-cam.com/video/A5pacJ75BXI/v-deo.htmlsi=s_Vv6-sflacum9dQ&t=39 The latter is probably pretty slow for full on warp, it's only a little faster than the impulse example, but it's the fastest I've ever seen a Trek ship depicted.
@@Exploder11 thanks. I read somewhere that full impulse speed is a significant fraction of light speed. Dont know how true that it but that first video definitely shows how fast it can be.
@@robbetz Calculated from certain episodes, they move near the speed of light while under impulse. "Best of Both Worlds Pt2" I think they're go 0.92c through the Sol system while trying to catch the Borg cube. There's a Voyager episode where they go 0.75 c. Also, I believe impulse fraction is actually a measure of acceleration and not a speed setting. So quarter impulse is actually 1/4 maximum acceleration, which makes it distinct from 0.5 warp which is sort of a particular speed (depending on environmental conditions), which is distinct from calling out an actual speed like 500 km/s.
@@Exploder11"And at Warp 11 we're going nowhere mighty fast!" (Scotty, in episode May that be your last battlefield, after the Enterprise had been hijacked and was going around in tight circles at well over maximum safe warp)
@@M_J_Glide_22 I get that. But truth be told there are no realistic movements in Star Trek. The Expanse and BSG are the only shows I’ve ever seen that realistically portrays how ships move in space. Most franchises require a little suspension of disbelief 🖖😊
Its like watching the USS Defiant in combat from the Enterprise series. Seeing all that firepower from that class of startship is really awesome.
@@Justice107 Thanks! I really wanted to convey how bad ass the Constitution Class is.
Totally epic!!!! wish we had this back in the 60's..... what a thrill ride it was. 🤪
You gotta ask yourself the question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, asteroid punks! ;P
I liked that short trip there !!
Give me a moment while I gather my socks that just blew off...
@@gfabasic32 one’s over there! 🤣
Thank you! 🙏
Sensational! What a beautiful and highly dangerous vessel she is ;))

@@jonandnao thank you!!
Very nice, the top-tier vessels in particular the Enterprise has surprised to every starfleet in Sol.
Whoa! Didn't see THAT coming! Sulu and Chekov in their prime!
Told ya it was different!
That, my friend, was a thing of beauty! Very nice! Thanks!! :)
Thank you!
This looks incredible! Great work, sir.
@@08191906 thanks!
As aways you dont disappoint!
@@peckins71mp *blushes* TWSS 😉
Nice!!!
Please do this with the refit! Great work thus far.
Thanks! The refit is my long term project at the moment.

Some of your best work yet sir! Nice to see the Enterprise move like that. 🖖
@@doberski6855 thanks. She’s got moves!
Drive it like you Stole it!
Oh, the fun of being the Starfleet crew, having to test their latest vessels. I'm signing up for the joyride.
Time to engage the enemy, Mr. Sulu, take us out

It's about time someone got rid of all those HAL 9000s
That was cool!
Very cool, what no space slug, or Millennium Falcon?! Fail...
Just kidding, you are the master, great job once again.
Peace, and long life.
@@christophersnyder1532 thanks!
Don’t tempt me! I’ve thought about crossing franchises…
@robbetz Well, from what I recall, because Star Trek had used Industrial Light & Magic for the special effects, they had actually stuck the Millennium Falcon in, at least the Borg attack in, First Contact.
Jolan tru!
Very. cool video but I wish you slowed the ship down. It is a giant capital ship, not a Star Wars fighter.
@@richardbaker5223 thanks. And that’s fair but I had to show she wasn’t an old lady 😜
Zipping around is cool, but you do lose the sense of the scale of the ship.

What's with the Call of Duty menu music?
I picked it just for you. Enjoy! 🖖😐
I loved it....all I would have done is make the movement a little more realistic. The split second turns are off a bit.
@@M_J_Glide_22 I get that. But truth be told there are no realistic movements in Star Trek.
