Voyager does have one of the best engineering play sets, but the hum of the D is easily the most comforting.
D is my home
Special mention to Voyager, specifically having an entire spare warp core on board, tucked away in the bowels of the ship with no explanation for this given. No explanation especially given as to how the hell it’s supposed to be relocated and installed. Maybe with tractor beams or something, who knows.
If the crew could have managed to remember this, it would have made S04E03 a lot shorter.
Use emergency power to transport it into place? But yeah… plot reasons likely prevented its use.
Probably it’s a placeholder for where a second one could be kept but it was not equipped at the time.
Could be covered in universe with someone complaining that the backup core wasn’t installed yet.
It was supposed to be installed on Tuesday
Well, they can’t just leave an unstable warp core floating around in one of the weird sections of space. People are willing to risk their lives over just some of the plasma. They were close enough to retrieve it, also the Klingon engineer was having a bad day. Crew was just helping her save face. Dumping a warp core is like separating the saucer; only to be done if necessary.
Sure, but slapping the spare in there so the ship could be fully capable and ready to retrieve the thing, even if only to blow it up, would have been significantly smarter than sending out the two lovebirds in a dinky shuttle. And probably a damn sight faster, too.
They weren’t lovebirds until faced with death…after the dinky shuttle dinked out.
Voyager has a Borg and several Vulcans…yet somehow manages to remain the least logical crew. Still one of my favorite crews, I just wish they could’ve figured out how to keep ‘One’ alive. Don’t even get me started on Tuvix.
I humbly submit myself for this poll.
Eject them all.
D, defiant and voyager all look like tardis consoles and it’s crazy I never realized that until this picture.
I see a lack of Enterprise E’s warp core. It’s a mixture between the Voyager layout and the Enterprise D layout
There’s a lot of Enterprises already on display, but fair is fair.
Also omitted the Kelvin core, for, reasons.
All I know is that there’s a disturbing amount of weapons tests, alien artifacts, engineering experiments happening immediately out of frame in every image.
I just gotta say that I appreciate that SNW kept the basic design of TOS and made it look more realistic to modern eyes. It is the same ship, after all.
My problem with it is that it seems to be this truly vast space and they only ever interact with about 5% of it.
They also seem to go out of their way to hardly ever show it, I don’t think it’s been depicted even once in this new season. At one point they even have Pellia come up from engineering and say that it’s been filled with toxic gas but we never actually see that happen. Has something happened to the set?
I think I actually prefer the Ritos; it takes what’s good about the TNG warp core and makes it feel a bit more spacious without turning the ship into a Tardis - looking at you, SNW Enterprise warp core and DISCO turbolifts!
EDIT: Tardis in the sense it’s bigger on the inside - I think wibbly wobbly timey wimey has always been a given in Starfleet.
Discovery’s turbolifts was actually the thing that made me fully check out from taking the show even the slightest bit seriously.
Voyager’s warp core? Nah, that’s not my favourite at all. My favourite warp core is from the Enterprise E.
… Wait…
Bah! Feh! You kids and your fancy plastic doodads and thingamajigs all over the place. High-falutin’ shapes and colors!
MY trek’s warp core is several pieces of scrap lumber carefully stapled to the wall and lit with a single 40 watt red bulb! As nature intended! And we liked it that way! We loved it!
Anything pre nu-trek is nice, after that the plot was lost on everything including designs so nope.
Best one? TNG, always, though voyager was quite nice too, very “I can see myself working here” on both
D for sound, NX-01 for style
