@Gravolux Because we've all grown old and curmudgeon due to life being a big pile of suck and corrupted politicians and we can't just board a starship under Picard to live and die decently in honourable duty.
@ComputermasterDMC you gonna love voyager writing, if this was DS9 or TNG the rommulan would have need to do some reprogramming on sub routines or something
I think they designed the ship to fight the Jem'Hadar. It's better at taking on those large Jem'Hadar battle cruisers when combined. But it's much more effective as three smaller ships when fighting against Jem'Hadar attack ships, since those attack ships like to ram larger ships.
I like how Starfleet programmed a failsafe into the computer so that it wouldn't agree to attack other Starfleet vessels without question. Oh wait, they didn't do that. Nevermind.
From the technical point of view: One of the dumbest ideas Federation ship designers had, ever since they found a way to made touchscreens that blow up in your face.
0.17 That bridge set as stood in for so many different starships, refit enterprise then Enterprise A, USS Reliant, ermm Enterprise E bridge and this bridge. That actor who played the romulan commander must of had deja vu considering he played Khan's second in command in star trek 2... amazing what you can do with simple redress of a set
@kd84afc Yeah, I remembered him being on TNG, as soon as I had heard the voice, but, never, in a million years, would I have even thought he was Joachaim. I believe he also played Knight One in the B5 episode, "And, The Sky Full Of Stars."
@Sovereign1 maybe the computer is allowed to attack starfleet vessels in case one of them is hijacked? Like the reliant and enterprise battle in the wrath of khan?
@KenoshiAkai I dont think it would be particularly useful against a significantly weaker opponent as we saw in the clip. But I could see it being useful in a combat situation with multiple opponents, or a ship with equal or greater firepower. Being able to engage them from multiple angles and to divide their fire. Certainly not a feature you would use in every fight, but for the high-speed attack cruiser role that the Prometheus seems meant to play, I can see having that option as being useful.
@KenoshiAkai In combat like Trek, dependent almost entirely on energy, I'd think it VERY useful. Almost every battle involves redirecting power from some subsystem to another. Now you have threats on at least 3 separate facings meaning you can't reinforce one side over another and once shields are done that ship is toast. This is especially as almost all of the Federation's enemies like to build ships pointed "forward" so now only one of those ships could possible be under fire as well.
@rubaiyat300 You could accomplish the same thing with guided torpedoes that can be directed to hit a target from different angles. Yet I think Star Trek VI had the only instance of guided torpedoes...otherwise they always go in straight lines. Or heck, you could have one ship deploy shuttle-sized drones that can harass another ship from other angles. Or even send out multiple small starships that use wolf pack tactics. Just wouldn't look so goofy.
@KenoshiAkai Yes and no. Guided torps may be capable of hitting different facings of the target (not guaranteed but possible), but wouldn't really split weapons fire more than standard point defense. Shuttles or any small fighters are generally instakilled in Trek when fighting actual capital ships. You'd get the split fire of MVAM, but not really any significant increase in damage. Sending out multiple ships requires building multiple ships with high end warp (the Promie is FAST). Goofy? YMMV.
who would ever design a bridge with the captain's chair facing steps going down? Lol give the captain more distance to fall when they get attacked. Must not have had the budget to put injury make up on the romulan.
Used to be a trekkie in the 90's but, in the next generation when data finds that little lad on board a stranded federation ship(sorry i can't remember the name of the ship but in the episode they kept saying we need more shields) i think the lad thought he messed with a lcars console but was told that he couldn't of accidently destroyed their own ship because only starfleet personnel could access the computers. what i'm getting at is a federation ship wouldn't allow access to romulans
@thebuckrogers22 It was a prototype probably doing its trial runs which is why the Romulans were able to take it. The Dominion War probably was over before it went into regular service or it was part of the defense forces inside Federation space.
Thanks everyone for givin me 22 thumbs up for me noticing who the Romulan Commander was :P I've been periodically popping back here when someone replies to my comment :D ahah!!!
And also a note I forgot to reply on, is the Defiant warp engines built into the hull:
Have you look at the Galaxy class schematics? Did you see any warp nacelles built into the hull? If you took the time to look at Prometheus class schematics, then take the time to look at Galaxy class ones, then come back, and tell me whether you saw any.
@Sunshrine2 My understanding is that warp travel creates a "bubble" within which you can manouevre, fire weapons, etc. The effect would be infinite as long as you're at warp as the bubble moves with you.
Now a ship like Voyager can withstand multiple phaser hits to its shields at a central point for at least a few minutes, and this includes Borg attacks!
While a Nebula class starship much more power in its shields, and it cannot withstand 4 phaser hits from a fellow Starfleet vessel?!
@ShoulderAB07 Two possiblitites: 1: Starfleet phasers may be attuned to friendly ships, meaning that they an pennetrate more easily. 2: The Prometheus is a new ship that has exceptional weapons.
I know the promethus is a state of the art ship but which 'genius' who commanded that nebula class ship thought it would make tactical sense to fly inbetween the prometheus triangle formation where it would be outgunned. It could had at least try to get out of the way.
actually design-specs show the saucer part to have 2 warp-nacelles ... one on top of the bridge and one underneath it, where the docking-clamps to the upper star-drive are ;)
@Medhiv83 That is true, and I don't deny that, one nacelle is also visible in the video. It does have 2 warp nacelles, but keep in mind the words "warp nacelles".
It does not have it's own true "warp engines". The two nacelles are not powerful enough to create a sustainable warp field on their own, they can only maintain the generated warp field from the other ship sections and only for a limited amount of time.
It's only used if a ship needs to seperate at warp speeds without outwarping.
@Junije1 Is this canonical? I've never seen any distinction made on that matter. While I'd suspect a serious drop off in capability due to their size, I've never seen that particular limitation or capacity frankly.
@Medhiv83 Prometheus MVAM capability was included only to serve as a tactical advantage in lone combat situations, to attack the hostile threat from multiple directions, as it is harder for a hostile enemy to keep the critical ship parts non exposed against 3 combat capable ship sections maneuvering at different vectors.
Keep in mind that Prometheus class vessels operate as a single ship, not three separate ships with each own captain and command chain.
i wasn't commenting on the purpose of MVAM or how an when its supposed to be used! i merely said, that the saucer is very well capable of going warp speed, as schematics of it show it to have warp-nacelles of its own! besides the saucer-section of a galaxy class ship can travel as fast as warp 2, and has clearly no nacelles at all!
not to mention klingon ships and a few romulan, breen and other alien designs! they could be easily build into the hull like those of defiant i.e.
1. FACT: Galaxy class saucer section does not have any warp drive. It HAS an impulse drive, but NO warp drive, and can NOT enter nor even sustain warp speeds. It doesn't even have a warp core.
2. FACT: Klingon,Breen,Vulcan,Romulan,Tholian,Gorn etc. are all different civilizations which use their own warp/transwarp/subspace/hyperspace high speed propulsion using all kinds of completely different mechanics and technology, so I don't even see why you mentioned that.
3. FACT: A Galaxy class ship saucer section CAN move through the subspace with warp speeds, and even so, with a lot higher speeds then your mentioned "warp 2". The truth is, a saucer section can structurally withstand warp speeds as high as Warp factor 9.5 as it was recorded at the Farpoint encounter.
@Medhiv83 4. FACT: It's not a "saucer" section, but a Prometheus "command" section. And it CAN not enter warp speeds on its own. The command section can not generate enough powerful warp field to encapsulate the whole section hull with those warp nacelles, BUT, unlike the Galaxy class saucer section, it can sustain warp speeds.
The episode is called "Message In A Bottle". This is a prototype battleship. We don't know how the Romulans comandeered it, we just have to take that they did.
They killed the crew and stole the ship. They wanted the technology. Starfleet gets the ship back at the end by attacking it with 2 Defiant class & an Akira class cruiser. Best Voyager episode ever IMO
When the shields get hit, it creates a power surge in the systems. When the shields get hit hard enough in a sudden burst, the electricity can't be absorbed by any conduits or circuit-breakers, and the electricity is forced into the circuits in control panels causing an explosion of sparks, often right in the face of the people operating the console.
@ Rohan2300: lol MVAM was actualy designed more for combat type purposes lol since each section of the ship together has 3 seperate warp cores and when MVAM is in use the other sections i belive are operated from the central part of the ship via its computer.
god id have loved to see more of the prometheus class in any star trek carnation. hopfully in the future there may be a tv series, where we could see future classes and such...
There is a new Star Trek film oput in a few years time... It features another ship capable of MVAM.. Although it is a lot bigger and the different sections are actually different ships altogether.. Defiant Class being one of them..
hey dude id really appreciate it if you let us know where you heard this? not to be a dick or undermine you im just really curious as it would require an alternate time line from the next generation for it to run out like youve said... links would be great, cheers dude
What I've never understood is that if only 4 Starfleet personnel were trained on the operation of the Prometheus, how did the Romulans know how to operate the ship? Also, there was already a USS Prometheus in service. My opinion is that the writers meant to name this ship the USS Proteus (a mythical creature withe a weapon that changed its form) but somehow it became the Prometheus.
my guess, the ship was designed with fairly standard controls, but with the whole "three way split" aspect and the manuevering required to re-attach the ship without auto-pilot, they'd need specialist training.
I disagree, I think the bridge is bloomin sweet looking. Also, has anyone noticed that the Romulan commander was Khan's right hand man in Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan? :P
holy f*cking crap ... i must've seen this epsiode a dozen times and always wondered why his face looked so familiar, especially those piercing eyes! LOL² this is awesome ^_^
Star Trek Voyager: Message in the Bottle. They do make this ship, it's an experimental federation ship. It was again seen defending Earth at the very end of the Voyager series against a single Borg Sphere (which Voyager destroyed on the way home)
That's because the Nebula-class was originally a kitbash of the Galaxy with a few original parts thrown in. Still, it's probably the nicest-looking kitbash in Star Trek.
@maximum988 No no no, the nebula is a heavy cruiser, its basically a squashed galaxy class that has had its capability slightly reduced, making it easier to build (its weapons capabilities are about 80% of a Galaxy class). Its not a weak ship by any means. But it is a bit out of date and certainly not a match for a state-of-the-art attack cruiser.
@maximum988 Its not a sensor pod. The nebula class has a swappable mission pod to enhance its capabilities. There is a weapons pod, a high capacity sensor pod, colony transport pod, emergency field hospital pod, and a science laboratory pod (we have only ever seen the weapons and sensor pods on screen, the others are backstage). Its one of the things that make the nebula one of the most sensible designs we have seen (even if its not very pretty). That ship there has the weapons pod.
@maximum988 huh a nebula class starship has the same weapons as a galaxy class...there is nothing "Light" about it. That wasn't my point. My point was that it disabled an attacking cruiser with only a few phaser shots. Even crazier it was able to do it a warp speed....(yea i do realize that they was in side the ships warp field)
I envy romulans, they never go bald. So much lovely hair...maybe I should start wearing a romulan toupee.

Why do the consoles keep exploding randomly in Star Trek even without a slightest hull breach?
Himechansexytightass 2 years ago 3
Because they beam TNT in behind them. :P

If you want a technical explanation, year it is;
When the shields get hit, it creates a power surge in the systems. When the shields get hit hard enough in a sudden burst, the electricity can't be absorbed by any conduits or circuit-breakers, and the electricity is forced into the circuits in control panels causing an explosion of sparks, often right in the face of the people operating the console.

@ Rohan2300: lol MVAM was actualy designed more for combat type purposes lol since each section of the ship together has 3 seperate warp cores and when MVAM is in use the other sections i belive are operated from the central part of the ship via its computer.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!
There is a new Star Trek film oput in a few years time... It features another ship capable of MVAM.. Although it is a lot bigger and the different sections are actually different ships altogether.. Defiant Class being one of them..
This is the film where Pichard is supposed to die

hey dude id really appreciate it if you let us know where you heard this? not to be a dick or undermine you im just really curious as it would require an alternate time line from the next generation for it to run out like youve said... links would be great, cheers dude

What I've never understood is that if only 4 Starfleet personnel were trained on the operation of the Prometheus, how did the Romulans know how to operate the ship? Also, there was already a USS Prometheus in service. My opinion is that the writers meant to name this ship the USS Proteus (a mythical creature withe a weapon that changed its form) but somehow it became the Prometheus.
MadScribbler67 3 years ago
my guess, the ship was designed with fairly standard controls, but with the whole "three way split" aspect and the manuevering required to re-attach the ship without auto-pilot, they'd need specialist training.

Ship is cool but the bridge is ugly:/ They could have done it better, much better.
ineffige 3 years ago
I disagree, I think the bridge is bloomin sweet looking. Also, has anyone noticed that the Romulan commander was Khan's right hand man in Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan? :P

Star Trek Voyager: Message in the Bottle. They do make this ship, it's an experimental federation ship. It was again seen defending Earth at the very end of the Voyager series against a single Borg Sphere (which Voyager destroyed on the way home)

the prometheus is cool but the nebula class ship that it desabled is cool il almost looks like a galaxy class.
predsfan08 4 years ago
That's because the Nebula-class was originally a kitbash of the Galaxy with a few original parts thrown in. Still, it's probably the nicest-looking kitbash in Star Trek.

explorer47422 1 year ago
@alphathewolf The ship they are firing on is a Nebula class. It is a lightly armed and shielded science vessel.
maximum988 1 year ago
@maximum988 No no no, the nebula is a heavy cruiser, its basically a squashed galaxy class that has had its capability slightly reduced, making it easier to build (its weapons capabilities are about 80% of a Galaxy class). Its not a weak ship by any means. But it is a bit out of date and certainly not a match for a state-of-the-art attack cruiser.
alphaswimmer55 1 year ago
@alphaswimmer55 My bad but whats up with the sensor pod?
maximum988 1 year ago
@maximum988 Its not a sensor pod. The nebula class has a swappable mission pod to enhance its capabilities. There is a weapons pod, a high capacity sensor pod, colony transport pod, emergency field hospital pod, and a science laboratory pod (we have only ever seen the weapons and sensor pods on screen, the others are backstage). Its one of the things that make the nebula one of the most sensible designs we have seen (even if its not very pretty). That ship there has the weapons pod.
alphaswimmer55 1 year ago
@alphaswimmer55 k thx for the clarification.
maximum988 1 year ago
@maximum988 huh a nebula class starship has the same weapons as a galaxy class...there is nothing "Light" about it. That wasn't my point. My point was that it disabled an attacking cruiser with only a few phaser shots. Even crazier it was able to do it a warp speed....(yea i do realize that they was in side the ships warp field)
