[@BigJeremyBeyer]

I can tell you why they allowed Janeway to get away with her final act of time travel. Because allowing it MADE it her final act of time travel. They realized Janeway would make their consoles beep another 15 times if they undid it, and that allowing it would end up doing less damage to the timeline than constantly trying to fix it. So they let her go.

Enterprise Refit - sent out unfinished. Enterprise A - sent out unfinished. Enterprise B - sent out unfinished (but it would have been finished by Tuesday). Defiant... were they finished? I want to say 'No'.... Voyager - sent out unfinished. Starfleet has a really bad track record on this stuff.

[@DeathBYDesign666]

The defiant was finished, but they still had to calibrate the warp core properly after figuring out how to do it. It had a few bugs is all really, but the only way to work them out was to test them in the feild.

[@joatmon6132]

Better story line for the spare warp core would be, it's was like one of those donut spares, you know, not over warp 4 nor more than 50 light years.

[@mikespangler98]

Given it appears to be significantly shorter than the main warp core, that might well be the case.

[@danielseelye6005]

That would've been great to see and added tension if they had it like a countdown clock; search for the main core and observe the spare degrading along with spare's life get worse when used for weapons. Another thing they could've done was have it be used as a separate weapons-only power source like the holodecks were running on a separate power grid. If the main drive went offline, the second could be called "Fortress Mode" to hold off the threat until the mains were back online and allow for FTL escape. I mean, the Intrepids did have two deflector dishes, it just fits.

[@robertballasty395]

That would make sense - an emergency spare to plug in and switch on relatively quickly in a dire situation, even it was smaller capacity - definitely makes more sense than having to assemble a spare from parts. What would make even more sense would be the emergency backup all piped and connected, ready to go. Like running one boiler instead of two on an old seagoing ship. Or like having an emergency generator for your house that kicks in when main power fails and the diverter switch is triggered.

[@grayeaglej]

Awesome opossum XD

[@Cramblit]

Yea that's what I was originally thinking, since it appears to be far smaller. It would probably degrade, and was only there as like a spare tire. You wouldn't complete your full trip on it, it was there just to get you to a space dock to get a proper replacement.

Given Voyager's track record with crashing shuttles, it was probably best that they never flew the Aeroshuttle.

[@SnowmanTF2]

If there was one thing the crew got pretty dam good at was building replacement shuttles, they also did so quickly enough that a lack of shuttles was never a plot point. Since they left seemingly with three and in only the periods we saw they lost at least seventeen, according to blueprints it is not possible to fit more than 8 in at any time but Neelix's large shuttle took space the entire run, by the end they back to their normal shuttle count and had built two delta fliers. So replacing Aeroshuttles seems not only quite in their wheelhouse but could have made a large reduction in the number of standard shuttles they had to build per year.

[@QuantenMagier]

@@SnowmanTF2 Well but then replacing an aeroshuttle would probably be much harder than replacing a normal shuttle, because of its bigger size, so it makes sense to just use the smaller shuttles not endangering the hull integrity, i mean after all a shuttle as part of the hull is an additional part of ablative armor.. :D

My thoughts on the spare warp core: Previous ship classes, such as the Galaxy class, used fusion reactors for the electrical components of the ship. The warp core only powered the warp drive. If I recall, the Intrepid class did not have the fusion reactors and instead generated electricity from the warp core. I figured the backup core would be more of a "let's turn this on to keep the lights running when the main one is off" situation. But I don't know why they wouldn't just install backup fusion generators instead. Shrug.

[@augurseer]

[@johnmorris2170]

It's only in the technical manual. And that is the only place it exists.

[@glitch4583]

(Girl points to a schematic showing the second warp core) Captain Janeway: "It was never installed, it was going to be put in the following Tuesday." Actually including a scene like this would have made more sense considering how the second core is shown on the displays of the ship.

They never leaned into the fact that they were away from being able to resupplied in federation territory as much as they should have.

[@Streetsvillainy]

Learning of the Aeroshuttle makes a glaring issue I've always had with Voyager even worse. They had all these smaller ships throughout the series like Neelix's trader vessel, the shuttles, the delta flyer, Chakotay's ship the 'Val Jean' (there could have been flashback episodes of Maquis stories, or some weird alien thing that brings the ship back) on and on, and they never really used them in any cool way.

I always thought the temporal corps or whatever didn’t intervene with admiral janeway because the outcome favoured the federation

[@Hawk_of_Battle]

Pretty much yeah. It's the same reason they don't interfere in the events of First Contact, which also involved time travel. If those events hadn't happened, humans would never have developed warp travel/would have been assimilated. Fortunately the borg intervened, time travel happened, mankind got to meet aliens and the Federation came into existence. The time cops only care about maintaining timelines where they themselves exist, which means humanity/the federation has to exist, which means any time travel that threatens that is bad and any time travel that doesn't is fine. Presumably, Voyager taking too long to get home is a "bad" timeline, which leads to their undoing, so any time travel that gets Voyager home early is A-ok (such as Harry changing things after they attempted to use slipstream tech, or Future!Janeway bringing back all that juicy tech).

[@SkyCharger001]

I like to think that the Bureau of Temporal Investigations was glad that someone did the major cleanup for them on the First Contact issue, leaving them with only the dotting of the I's and the crossing of the T's.

[@EstrellaViajeViajero]

The show is the "correct timeline", and the future only interferes if time travel would mess it up (usually by someone else from the future).

[@ziiofswe]

Doesn't the Borg mess with time too in Voyager? (I don't remember...) They did in First Contact, so obviously they have the knowledge. Which raises the question: Which manipulated timeline is the "least wrong"?

[@smilodon7511]

Perhaps they only got involved when someone messed with the timeline from their own time, any time-altering before their time would actually be the correct timeline for them.

[@fitzdraco]

My theory on why the time federation didn't interfere with Janeway. Because it was less damaging to the timeline. Her original trip home was some 15 years longer, and if you use the show as a reference she managed to bork the timeline about twice a year, sometimes smaller sometimes larger. Each effect likely had some sort of impact on the future that had to be remedied, even if we didn't see the time federation, they were working. Expand that out to 15 years. Now Janeway goes back, why did she pick that time. She could have gone back much earlier and saved more of the crew, and also give them more of life at home. But she didn't, she picked that one point. There was access to transwarp everywhere in the Delta quadrent, so she had to have a reason to pick that time. The time federation helped her. Because they needed Voyager to get back but Janeway inflicted a tremendous amount of damage to the timeline doing it the right way that repair options were drastic. By bringing her home early the damage caused by that was less overall then what would have happened in the normal course of events. It was the best option out of a lot of terrible ones. That's why that exact time was chosen, and how she managed it.

[@RavenwolfFoxtrack]

Landing struts. Voyager could land on planets.

(When not watching Trekyards...)

[@dgillies5420]

That was one of the stupider things about voyager because when it landed on demon planet it was pretty clear that it would tip over because the struts were only on the engineering pod and the saucer pod was way too large to be balanced by the weight of the nacelles.

[@kirishima638]

The impluse engines face backwards and the warp engines...warp space, something you probably don't want to do on the surface of a planet.

I've been binging Voyager lately, so I really enjoyed this

[@Canyon76]

Looking at the schematic I also think that the spare Warp Core was a limited Warp Field producer having a lower maximum Warp Factor, say, Warp 5 or something. Since the Warp scale is geometric if Voyager's maximum sustained warp speed was reduced even by one warp factor it could significantly extend the journey. This might also explain why in the episode where the main core was stolen they suggested they couldn't go to warp anymore since the spare core only gave a limited warp field therefore making the spare core irrelevant for the purpose of Voyager given it's overall mission: to get home. But I like your explanation too: If only they had waited until Tuesday to depart....

[@CaptainFoufeu]

I agree. The spare looks a lot smaller than the regular warp core. Just like a spare tire is smaller than a regular tire. I guess some things will never change.

[@Marcus51090]

If you look closely the cores are the same side if you zoom in the top section of the first core is actually the antimatter injector that the core attached to...... its the same core, the real theory is that since voyager was no where close to a star base they stripped it for spare parts as voyager took ALOT of damage and not all parts can be replicated.

re: spare warp core - i seem to recall an episode where voyager was short of antimatter or dilithium etc.. may well be the other core is complete.. just didnt have any "air" in it (to use the space saver spare tire joke someone in another post used) i also recall voyager traded a lot of kind of important spare parts at various points in the series.. that might have been one of them.

I'm curious about the escape pods in the lower part of the ship. Are they upside down? What is the true crew compliment?

[@pierce9128]

Aft lounge is for enlisted personal I would guess

[@nolanturner5607]

Most likely. Though there is the possibility due to her size Voyager wouldn't be able to hold all off shift crew in a single lounge area.

[@monolythspartan]

Based on the overall size of the second warp core, I'd say it's likely only a marginally effective core. like a back up battery that can potentially get you to the nearest station or friendly depot for the main core to be repaired, replaced, so on and so forth.

Neelix’s kitchen was originally the Captain’s dining room.

[@CaptainFoufeu]

I would have included some different things, such as the strange "scoops" on the saucer were actually an auxiliary deflector dish (at the nose) and a sensor platform (the large diamond with exposed parts). Also my favorite: According to schematics, the long set of 5 large windows under the 3 large windows for the mess hall was actually the captain's quarters! Her quarters were twice the size of the mess hall! Though it doesnt look that way on the show, the schematics say differently.

[@GenerationFilms]

Yeah I originally thought where her quarters were supposed to be was the mess hall, but it is the other way around.

[@sir_chris]

The federation came after enterprise. As the last episode was the ramp up to and showed the creation of the federation. While technically the nx01 and the nx02 would still be in service during the very early days of the federation. Bur during its run they weren't in the federation, more of a small alliance of planets since it was just them and the Vulcans.

[@From-North-Jersey]

Think of the spare warp core as the donut spare in your car that says do not drive over 45MPH on this tire. I will assume the ships schematic is to scale, the replacement core is two decks shorter than the main core. Will they both move the ship yes, will they both move the ship at the same speed? most likely not. The second core may have also not had the same level of durability like a donut spare. Real tires can go over 50k miles good luck getting more than 500 out of a donut spare. Besides with all the combat Voyager endured escaping the Kazon over the first two season and the noticeable lack of federation ship yards and star bases the spare core was most likely cannibalized for spare parts.

[@DarkNexarius]

Would be cool if they had done that in the show.

GildedBear I always wondered about that, I guess it was one of those - it wasn’t installed before they left things.

[@onidaaitsubasa4177]

Hmm but then you would still have the Holodecks when the main power went out. I don't think the second core was ever installed.

[@imkluu]

@@lasarith2 I think it was a reduced ability spare like the tires most cars have now. It would only produce up to a Warp factor of 3, and last for no more than a year. Thus they had to get the main one, or they would never make it back to earth.

I would imagine a spare warp core would be used to sprint away from an exploding main warp core.

That too is possible. That it would maintain Warp to get far enough away from the exploding Warp Core but could not do much else. It does seem smaller so it probabley could not do luch more than Warp 4 Anyway.

An idea for the warp core. Perhaps it is only partially built since it is quite a bit smaller. I could be what powers the ship when the main core is off line/ ejected. I mean they never speek of a power source other then a warp core. Could this just be like a backup/life support generator?

The main body of the secondary warp core is quite large, bigger than any of the cargo bays. Having that pre-assembled but some of the fine tuning and some components needing to be installed after transfer to the main slot makes sense. It also appears to be much smaller, possibly meaning a lower power output and lower top speed. With those in mind, recovery of the primary core would be very important.

That's one thing that kind of bothers me about Rick sternbach, instead of just saying that something was an oversight or something was done a certain way just because it looked cool, he always makes up some reason to explain it or excuse it. And a lot of times the reasons are a bit silly, and it frankly would do better to just say well we don't know, but you can be rest assured that the crew of the Voyager now and just leave it a mystery rather than making up an off-the-cuff reason which doesn't make any sense.

Where in Voyager is it mentioned that that Voyager itself developed Transphasic Torpedo's and the ablative generator? I know Janeway (future) says the line about developing weapons and tactics to go against the borg but there is also a hell of a lot of time that passes after her voyager gets back. I always felt that they were later starfleet developments after voyager originally got home, not items produced by Voyager. Did i miss something other than this one line that kind of implies this?

Yeah, I hated how Voyager made the Borg look like inferior pest being killed off easily. It ruined the scariest villains of the Star Trek universe.

[@eisenklad]

read the novels. although not considered canon, the writers managed to turn the borg into something way more menacing. Bashir, seven , the Doctor, Enterprise E and Excalibur (a hot rod Galaxy class) had multiple ideas to defeat this new "mutation" of the borg. Spoilers: . . . . Excalibur's solution, the planet killer from TOS. while the borg was attempting to assimilate the planet killer, seven uploaded an impossible math equation but only after an assimilated Janeway managed to wrangle some control away from the Cube/sphere/whatever shaped it assumed. yes, the ship is the borg. the drones were just... blood cells for an analogy. after this, more borg came from elsewhere, and razed several key federation planets. they didnt want to assimilate anymore, they wanted to annihilate.

[@johnmorris2170]

That is your interpretation.

[@AlexinCobra]

@@johnmorris2170 How does the Borg look scarier when single cubes are being taken out by a single ship with a single torpedo? They had zero assistance from the fleet in the battle and it looked as though the hive mind couldn't think fast or adapt. If Star Trek Voyager was as video game, we would have said the Borg got nerfed, because their power and threat got severely diminished. There threat went from quick adapting AI/cybernetic human hybrids to slow moving, non-thinking zombies with machine parts. They focused on how the queen did all the thinking for the whole collective. Once the queen was tricked, the whole collective was tricked. That is not hive mind thinking but it is a single mind.

[@herbderbler1585]

Warp core ejection was among the primary failure devices for the Intrepid class. It was a fairly reliable system, having only failed to fail once throughout the show. For the Galaxy class, it was considered a backup failure device to be used only if the starboard power coupling actually managed to stay online during a battle.

Dear CBS thank you for helping me to decided to *not get CBS all access,* and instead watch your new Trek stuff on _unofficial servers._ Still considering how CBS treated Eliza Dushku [Faith from Buffy] over that whole sexual harassment case, I'm not suprised they're still jerks. She's decided to give up on Hollywood, CBS told her they'd use their influence to destroy her career, even though she did everything by the book, tried mediation, and agreed to confidentiality (it was uncovered by a separate investigation and then CBS and Weatherly violated the agreement by rubbishing her). Her demands included better training and procedures to prevent future harassment, hardly a money grabbing action. Yes they got rid of Les Moonves, but Micheal Weatherly is still there and Bull just got renewed for _another_ season. Along with the Showrunner who wrote her out and _the lawyers_ who couldn't see a problem [and thought that bikini pics she had on her own Instagram made her fair game]. Moonves is gone, but a lot of *entitled assholes* _that he promoted and encouraged are still there_ - Weatherly is a friend and that's why he could (and still has) get away with it.…There are a suspicious number of actresses from NCIS that have given up on acting and _can't_ talk about why. CBS has a ongoing cultural problem, and it's just unfortunate that they own the IP to Star Trek.
