Stunning! To this day the Motion Picture era engine room is a triumph of production design. First by Joe Jennings and later refined by Harold Michelson. It really feels like standing in the middle of a sterile nuclear core with fantastic energies swimming around in the tubes and you managed to capture every inch of it right down to the oxygen masks hanging on the wall. ("Use your respirators lads!") Far better than Herman Zimmerman's TNG Pot Belly Stove that flashed like a Las Vegas neon sign but he redeemed himself with Voyager by making the core look like the TMP version again.

@@MartyE lol yeah it’s a problem. My guess; it does cut the flow.

[@Ravege98]

I’m kinda confused about where it’s coming from, I thought the curvature seen over the conduit was the curvature of the outer hull, or is the outer hull roughly 3 meters thick - tall enough for this door to retract into? Also seems the upper part of the warp core would protrude into the torpedo area.

[@robbetz]

@ well there is a deck above that. But I am not sure there is enough room. May have to just chalk it up to “it was for the movie” just like the dual torpedo rooms (only one can fit).

[@qubex]

Three observations, in descending order of importance: (1) This is absolutely amazingly good work - the sense of this being a real place is overwhelming. Congratulations and thank you! (2) As I understand it the fore of the main engineering compartment is basically abutting up against the top part of the main deflection dish and systems. (3) I never understood the in-universe logic for having the supposedly reaction-mediating dilithium crystals off in a separate room on a pedestal not obviously connected to the rest of the intermix chamber - as reaction-mediating crystals wouldn’t they be right in the middle of the action where matter meets antimatter, as we see in TNG onwards? I understand the narrative need to tack on such a room for Spock’s scene of heroic demise but it still baffles me how a vertical warp core with no conduits in and out of it except the horizontal portion that leads to the nacelles is somehow feeding enormous amounts of material into the crystals and getting an enormous amount of energy out - all through a single pedestal. But that’s science fiction for you. Thanks for this. Keep up the good work!

[@robbetz]

@@qubex 1. Thank you!!! 2. This room exists for no reason other than to give Spock a place to die where he could be physically separated from Kirk. 3. There was at least one corridor leading to it and schematics I have show some kind of deflector control forward of engineering. So there will be. My real problem is getting the vertical intermix chamber and a turbolift through the torpedo room and the neck. Some of the schematics really conflict as to how that actually happens. Stay tuned to see how it figure it out 😉

[@Astronomy_Live]

Although it doesn't explain how it connects to the warp core, one explanation I read elsewhere in the comments was that this dilithium chamber room was added to the Enterprise specifically to help facilitate its role as a training vessel. The separate room would help cadets practice doing work on the crystals in a smaller space that's easier to isolate and decontaminate than the rest of engineering.

[@pud469]

Really nice work. It does make me wonder why this is the only engineering room that has the Spock killing capped tube of death. Where is that in other engineering rooms, and what does it look like? I'm sure they made changes after this flaw.

Your walk thru is brilliant but with music it becomes more entertaining than realistic. (Many might prefer that but maybe not us engineering types.) NOTE: may dad worked for a company called Simulation Systems that made training simulators of aircraft cockpits, the bridge of an oil tanker, the control room of a nuclear reactor, etc. I got to sit in a C5A cargo plane cockpit simulator and take off from a realistic airfield. What was really cool was the motion simulator that caused actual pitch, roll and yaw movements as well as turbulence & vibrations. It was so exhilirating!
