In this video we look at 10 features of the Enterprise NX 01 from Star Trek Enterprise. Features such as the warp 5 engine, the grappler, spatial torpedos, phase cannons and photonic torpedos. This ship was an early and more underdeveloped version of starfleet ships to come, such as the constitution class, Galaxy Class and sovereign class Enterprises.

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.

[@tba113]

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.

[@geraldthompson4633]

Too bad faux trek got green lighted...

[@DJRonnieG]

Yeah, I actually enjoyed the first season because of that "getting on our feet vibe." It could get mundane but it worked.

[@DJRonnieG]

@@tba113 It definitely threw a wrench into established Cannon but it was comparatively forgivable when considering the 2009 movies.

[@joshualewandowski829]

@@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. Or what measures would be taken to reverse it, whether that be through infiltration or more.... shall we say direct methods.

[@schwarzerritter5724]

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.

[@GenerationFilms]

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)

[@oninoni]

You forgot the first organic matter Transporter. Shouldve been no 2 after the engine. Probably the second most advanced technology on that ship

[@jamesmarciel5237]

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.

[@GenerationFilms]

@@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.

[@derphysiker1062]

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?

[@oninoni]

@@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

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.

[@andreasklindt7144]

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.

[@morganmccown5572]

[@johnfosteriii5792]

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

[@jonathonrodriguezthomas6457]

Huh the more you know I guess thanks

[@DrewLSsix]

Not true.

[@oninoni]

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

[@Euripides_Panz]

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.

[@jerryadams6799]

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.

[@eceldran]

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 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.

[@DanBen07]

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.

[@jannegrey593]

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.

[@tetravega567]

Didn't it also attract dust to the hull in an episode?

[@vine01]

polarizing the hull exactly as you say, make it dissipate incoming energy, not hardier to penetrate.

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.

[@pyronuke4768]

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.

[@GenerationFilms]

Yeah so warp 5 was like 214 cochrane (1 cochrane = 1x speed of light) and warp 4 was 100 cochrane

I actually like the song... But i also like the NX-01. Its one of my favorite startrek ship designs. With all time favorite being either the intrepid or sovreign classes

[@GenerationFilms]

The sovereign class is my favorite

[@daxxmason8308]

@@GenerationFilms She is a beauty of a ship. And just makes sense in my head. I prefer the more streamlined look

you forgot Vulcan massages with a happy ending

I liked this series so much I bought it. Hated that it was canceled. And as for the opening song...... It fit the show well.

I'd like to give a second like for your interpretation of Faith of Heart. Damn you KZbin for not letting me support artists for their expressions!

Too bad Scott Bakula never once said "Oh, boy". At least there was Dean Stockwell aka Al.

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.

[@nolanturner5607]

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.

Malcolm's little speech reminds me of D84's about a lazerson probe. "It can punch a fist sized hole in six inch armour plate, or lift the crystals from a snowflake, one by one." (Dr Who, Robots of Death)

While DS9 is still my favorite, I didn't mind ENT.

There was also the refit where the technology from the captured *Suliban Cell ship* was retrofitted to the NX, giving it a internally mounted warp drive, advanced shielding weapons and sensors, compact life support and a host of other systems that were rugged and low maintenance (as they were used by a small mobile rebel group that didn't have large maintenance facilities). Starfleet engineering reverse engineered all that tech early on when the captured Suliban Cell ship was taken straight back to Earth, instead of being left in the shuttle bay for off hours tinkering till it was lost. … … … _oh_ Still at least they had the upgrades from that captured Ferengi ship, including its extensive data base on regions even unknown to the Vulcans.

Any chance at some Orville videos? They got ships.

I initally hated the show, but after a decade I decided to rewatch it, it was love. I really adore the series now and IMHO it is the best show Star Trek had (and has the best ship):
