[@lockwoodthexton]

Those things you said were the anti-matter storage pods on Deck 10 are actually the saucer/engineering hull locking clamp housings. All anti-matter storage is in the engineering hull at the base of the neck above the warp core.

[@ryanjosef]

i thought the anti matter storage pods were below the warp core near the detachable hull plates so they could be ejected and the regular matter fuel tank sat behind and sat above the warp core ?

[@lockwoodthexton]

@@ryanjosef You may be right. I think I got the matter and anti-matter reversed. Either way, it’s all still in the engineering hull.

[@astron1701]

I was gonna post this but you beat me to it. And as Ryan said the anti mater pods are on the bottom storage bays of the secondary hull. The durtium tanks (which are filled by the bussard collectors) aka matter storage tanks are above the warp core since it's not volatile like the core and antimatter tanks are. Also I believe the 1701-d has a backup warp core like voyager dose.

[@ryanjosef]

@@astron1701 as far as i understand the Deuterium tanks do have a fill port and the collectors among other things are built to collect matter as they go to extend the ships travel range . I dont know about a secondary warp core but chances are if there was one, its ejection systems would be a big LOL as well.

[@astron1701]

I think it's stored under engineering perpendicular to the main core. Once the core is ejected the back up can either be beamed into place or moved there by work bees. The same procedure is used for voyager.

[@markfox1545]

You clearly don't understand what literal means. It's a ship, not a city, so you are using literal to emphasise that something patently untrue is in fact true. Since it's a fictional ship it's not even a literal ship. Intelligent people are laughing at you when you add the word literally or literal to everything you say.

[@JosueC730]

The most beautiful and elegant of all the Enterprise designs. It was really a shame they decided to make the movie plot in such a way that it got destroyed. Picard could have returned from the nexus with more time to plan a better strategy and bad luck they put a spy camera in Laforge's viewer., but seeing the frequency at which the shields operated could have been a matter of noticing the spy camera before it happened or just having a better shield system that automatically changes whenever a hit is taken even with the shields are up. WIfi routers automatically change the channel frequency when there's interference from another wifi network. But the plot said the ship had to be destroyed and destroyed it was.

The Animations are great, but you make some mistakes at deck 10. The "10 forward" ist located at the front of deck ten, not at the displayed side. The Antimatter Storage ist on the bottom of the ship at deck 41/42. In case of emergency it is the best position to throw off the antimatter storage tanks. If the storage located on deck ten, between the battle and saucer section - a emergency will be catastrophic. And the Ships computer core are not only located ten. The ship has three cores (two in the saucer and one in the engeneering section) across multiple decks.

i find it hilarious that EVERYBODY that does these floorplan layouts for starships ALWAYS forgets to add the jefferies tubes... ALL starships are literally riddled with them, and in TNG+ ships they can be large enough for people to stand in, and they penetrate multiple decks!!!

[@onair141]

I enjoy how immersive Star Trek is!

[@danielfortier2629]

Very well done! I really enjoyed your video and the effort you put into preparing it! Thank you!!!

[@Halfscreen]

Glad you enjoyed it Daniel!

[@elliot1405]

I dunno….ready room has a window. Doesn’t look very accurate to me. Still cool though

[@Pharao2k]

Yeah the meeting room is a little bit lower and there are stairs connecting it to the bridge, which was never seen in the show but can be seen in the Stage 9 game. Then the window also works again.

[@mightyporkinplowastranger8705]

THank you man, that was very cool.

[@Halfscreen]

No problem!

[@randystegemann9990]

The bridge is on top of sailing vessels now, to provide a better view of the surroundings. On a starship, it seems to be a target for enemy fire, like a bullseye. Wouldn't it be better placed deep inside the ship, protected like sickbay, instead of blown off as shown in ST: Enterprise season 3, episode 8 "Twilight?" Windows and viewscreens would not be needed, cameras could provide a complete panoramic view of all surroundings to an enhanced holodeck fitted with all controls necessary for a bridge. Minbari ships in Babylon 5 have this.

I mean, it's at the top because that's Gene's rule #4 of Federation starship design. Also, he took quite a bit of inspiration from the warships of his era. The bridges of the last armored warships not only sit right up at the top, but are also essentially unarmored; the important bits for command and control are inside the conning tower. On Iowa class ships, the bridge provides protection only against the weather (well, sort of; it's technically a weather - or exposed - deck, since the hatches aren't watertight) and shell splinters. The conning tower, however, has slightly more than 17" of face hardened, cemented steel for protection.

[@randystegemann9990]

@@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t Right on top is still too exposed and an inviting target. Designs of older ships may be completely outdated and impractical by the time starships are actually built. I seriously doubt that real starships would be bound by any science fiction rules.

[@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t]

@@randystegemann9990 There are 808 episodes of Star Trek. In a mere 807 of them, the bridge is not deliberately shot off by the enemy. We can conclude from this that the location is fine.

[@randystegemann9990]

@@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t That is science fiction, not reality.

[@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t]

@@randystegemann9990 Yes, Star Trek is science fiction. No, the bridge wouldn't be better buried inside the ship, because the shields are what protects it. In Generations, an outdated, underpowered Klingon Bird of Prey, able to bypass the shields, is able to cripple the ship. The bridge location doesn't matter a tunpenny fuck while shields are what prevent damage to the ship itself.

[@Tropicaya]

Very impressive work. Congratulations.

[@Halfscreen]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Fazerati]

Great video. While the restroom on Deck 1/Bridge is accurate, it’s typically referred to as ‘the head’ on ships.

[@Halfscreen]

Yeah. it was label as "the head" but for the for the casual viewers.

[@alittlebitgone]

@@Halfscreen Seriously though, they'd just transport body waste directly, no gross heads needed.

[@Halfscreen]

@@alittlebitgone interesting.

[@리주민]

The Head sounds like a potty comic relief episode. It precedes Drumhead. 🥁🚽

[@리주민]

@@alittlebitgone There's bound to be plenty of McCoy's who get the satisfaction of a good natursl bowel movement without all the 💩 being dematerialised. And I, for one, believe they do normal bathroom for one major reason besides supposedly having toilets--they still have showers and sinks. Its quite easy to beam all the germs and grime off instead of washing hands or using hand sanitizer, yet there they stand...

[@brianjamison8264]

Absolutely fantastic. I hope you do many more of these!

[@MrRandomcommentguy]

If the Enterprise-D only had 1012 people on board you could wander around the ship all day and not see anybody else. 10,012 would have been a far more realistic number of crew and passengers. Even then it would still have had more than enough space for everyone to live very comfortably.

[@werty1160]

Heard this from ec henry. But if you put the computer cores, main engineering systems, and other technologies it really makes the inner corridors and workspace a bit more conducive even for a crew of 1,012. Having a crew of 10,012 for a single ship would be far too costly if 1 galaxy class happened to be destroyed in a battle or accident. That's why the computer corse and bio circutries as well as those killer whales in cetacean ops reduced the crew workload down to a sizeable 1012.

[@MrT------5743]

It had a max emergency capacity of 15,000 crew and passengers.

[@jplonsdale7242]

Yet on the show it looks small and cramped

[@ParoxyDM]

@@jplonsdale7242 It looked to me what I call "reasonably sized for a more spacous looking space ship". But I doubt it was to scale of the blueprint, espically when it was to be broadcasted to low quality TVs.

[@marcs3982]

Mind blowing that someone would not only make a model for filming, but layout the entire ship interior and exterior. Plus, a detailed drawing of each room, and its functions. If anyone reading this is interested you should watch the documentary Unacknowledged. In it, a retired govt official states that if you saw it on Star Trek, or Star Wars, the US is either currently using the technology, or decided to scrap it.

[@vicgarbutt3310]

WOW that is some modeling feat. A little driven? Fascinating tour. Thanks.

[@StringThing68]

Nice animation! However, your speed comparison of "warp 1" to the speed of light is off. Light travels at ~300,000 KM/s in a vacuum, which is 299,792,458 Meters per second, not KM.

[@리주민]

Maths count. Please simplify. 300,000,000 metres would be 300 megametres. 😋 We should all switch to gigametres and terametres for space travel. Metrification😁

[@sNEAKYnIGHTmUPPET]

What an excellent effort to make this happen, thank you so much. I assume that you know the only way it could have been better would have been to do more decks. Outstanding work.

[@Halfscreen]

I thought about doing additional decks down the road but it's going to be long video.

[@sNEAKYnIGHTmUPPET]

I’ll watch it, from beginning to end
