phasers don't have banks. its energy rourted from the warp core reactor reactor and to gnerate syncronize and co-ordinate with tactical and navigation the highest intensity is pulse pricise targeting. the torpedoes are sorted in banks.
@Thesterness I thought the same when I first saw it happen in Q Who; I think in Q Who it was a mistake; they maybe did it then to make it look like it was on purpose. Just explain that they mounted a phaser array there too.
For the most powerful class of ship in the fleet, the galaxy class ships never sem to fire more than one shot every few seconds, despite how many 'phaser banks' they are supposed to mount or their energy output.
One of the biggest reasons I hated battles involving the galaxy class ships.
@harkeill it is a huge ship,its slow in movement and attack speed,but has massive survivability in battle,the Intrepid moves a lot faster and the Defiant attacks the fastest.
I wish the Galaxy class ship had more of a bite in the show. Sure it was envisioned by the Gene to be a ship of exploration, but when you venture into the unknown and find something hostile, you'd want to be able to blow it away! Most of the times Enterprise engaged in combat it was losing.
@Choice777 These were made in the late 80's and early 90's, at that point computers were virtually non existent compared to what we have today. The stuff that was around was DOS type of stuff.
@kvmairforce Wrong. Such an old and very false argument. Space isn't nearly the vacuum we once thought it was. Especially within solar systems. If you don't believe me, check out: NASA Voyager Recordings - Symphonies of the Planets, there is also a recording of space somewhere on lastfm by Voyager too. Vibrations, magnetism and gravity all cause even more vibrations across plasma put out by the sun, which is well within human hearing range. IF we could have our ear exposed to space, that is.
@sargentaaron2004 Actually I've taken a number of astronomy classes. Those "Voyager Recordings" are actually converted into sound that we can hear. Yes you are right about vibrations, magnetism and even plasma, but the problem is there is no medium for those atoms to collide with in space, or at least not on a large scale for sound. I Googled "Is there sound in space?" just to be sure I wasn't correct, found nothing that says there could be sound in space as we know it.
@Xonx68 hey man, that's right! thanx a lot! :D i saw this fragment years ago in a star trek trailer on tv, i didnt know from which episode or film it was (later i figured it wasnt from a movie) this piece stuck in my head and now, after like at least 10 years i finally saw it again in an episode.and i wanted to see this badly :D thanx again :D
@thenexttsar Had to build suspense. If they just went around pulverising everything, there wouldn't be much of a show...well, it would be fun to watch for awhile, but eventually it would wear out.
@thenexttsar - The Federation seems to have a pretty bad combat record. Both times they engaged the Borg in a battle, they lost about 99% of their forces.
@BrommaHerman - The other races that engaged the Borg and are totally assimilated also lost, even more so than the Federation since the UFOP is still around and they aren't. One race that had considerable success against the Borg was Species 8472, which utterly kicked the Borg's cybernetic asses all over the quadrant.
@thenexttsar Well, with only a couple of exceptions, the Enterprise crew never opened fire with the full firepower available to them. That's why I'm still angry at how D was destroyed. As soon as the BOP fired through their shields, they should have rotated the frequency, and unleashed a few of the 250 torpedos and 15 or so phaser arrays they had. An 80 year old BOP should have NEVER been able to destroy D.
@brch2 actulay they were rotating shield freqencies, its just taht La Forge visor visula feed was taped in to so the ugly and uglier know what shiedl freq the D had
@MaxNght They never ONCE mentioned rotating the shield frequency. Riker never ordered it, no one ever suggested it. And if they had, the only way the Duras sisters would have been able to see the new frequency would be if Geordi looked at it again. But, he only glanced in the general direction of the readout the first time, he would not likely look at it again after they changed it, at least not immediately, allowing Enterprise time to destroy the BOP before it got the new frequency.
@brch2 The producers just wanted an excuse to destroy Enterprise-D so they could introduce 1701-E in the next movie. It was pretty crappy, IMO. Even without shields, Enterprise could have wasted an obsolete Bird of Prey in a matter of seconds by rapid-firing all weapons, well before the Klingons could have destroyed the Enterprise.
@AlamoBuck No kidding. When Riker asked Worf what the Bird of Prey's weaknesses were, I felt like shouting up at the screen "It's a 40 year old Bird of Prey! It's weaknesses are you kicking the sh*t out of it!"
@AlamoBuck Tell me about it. 250 photon torpedoes, something like 15 phaser arrays... JUST OPEN FIRE! And I'm pretty sure I probably yelled that at the screen one of the first few times I saw it...
If its the most powerful ship in the federation why is it constantly getting its ass wooped? Boarded by frengi, crippled by romulans, and in the blown up by a puny bird of prey???
Whats funny is that the Enterprise was either doing fuck all or getting its ass handed to it in most of those shots. I suppose thats the dilemma of supposedly making the ship one of the most advanced in the galaxy yet still trying to maintain dramatic tension :P
can you possibly tell me which of these scenes are from "The Next Generation" and which are from "Deep Space Nine" ? I know which ones are from Generations.
Its a shame that the ability to create computer generated starships really became affordable during Enterprise's original run (remember that shit show? -.-)
Does anybody know if they will be re-editing all the scenes with CGI when they release TNG on blue ray this year?
one more thing, i see alot of hate on here for the galaxy class. the galaxy class was total pimp. it's like putting 50 calibers and S.A.M's a couple torpedo bays and maybe a nuke or two on the Queen Elisabeth 2. That way after you level a small town you can kick it poolside and work on your tan. Pimping interstelllar style.
we are a peaceful people. this is a purely scientific vessel on a mission to meet and learn from new cultures. the fact we have enough weapons on board to destroy your planet is purely by accident and not design. somehow we installed photon torpedos and phaser cannons in ports we had meant to install fireworks tubes to celebrate our coming into contact with a new race. the leveling of you capital was supposed to be a celebration much like our chinese new years on earth. sorry about that, our bad
The Galaxy Class was flying junk. Its reactor operated with excessive reactivity, making active safety systems necessary just to keep it from exploding. Its back up systems were unreliable, and the lead designer was a physicist, not an engineer! This Flying Death Trap was a sad joke to space-faring worlds. And don't get me started on the pathetic Command staff!
@JWLuke787: Agreed. I think the cube would have swiftly withdrawn once the E-D dealt it critical damage, but the Enterprise was kicking that cube's ass with phasers and just sat there while Picard called for a conference :\
Apart from when the Galaxy is up against the Borg theynreally are shown as slow and plodding to respond! I wish I had had the money when they were making Dominion War scenes for DS9 because in my ST Universe old bangers wouldn't be seen by Next Gen standards the oldest classes' of ship you'd see would be Rigel, Korolev and Ambassador! Excelsiors would be long gone unless used by an Admiral who's managed to keep his old ship! Seeing Miranda's etc annoys me!
@2490debrick I agree, I disliked seeing older ships myself. However, I can see reason in it. Strapped for resources and production time, it could be seen as they may have raided their ship graveyards for old space worthy ships. Doesn't matter really if they are top of the line, they serve as targets to help protect the better ships at the very least.
@gerble36 The only time I can see a ship being mothballed and slapped together would be the yeager class or if an older Admiral has decided to keep their own star ship around for personal use i.e. Admiral Riker with the refit Galaxy otherwise a power house like the Federation should be using Intrepid as their workhorse by NG standards I could believe your point if it were the cardassians or klingons but even the dominion would find that backward!
@2490debrick The Miranda's Oberth's and Excelsiors became the work horses of the fleet and after Wolf 395 and the First Contact the fleet was hit hard and just needed ships and the Galaxy originally only had 3 ships commissioned with 3 spares. so they weren't many of them. And yes they should have shown more Ambassadors
@Revkor Your speaking as though Star Fleet consists of only a few hundred ships and that after 200 years ships like the oberth and miranda class wouldn't have been totally dismantled and recycled but kept in storage Lol!
@2490debrick I'm saying from 2290-2339 Excel, Miranda, and Oberth were the mainstays of the fleet making hundreds of them. Ambassador was introduced late 2330's to 2340 then Galaxy in the mid 2350's
@Revkor If thats the case then it's a wonder chancellor gorkon bothered to open the khitomer accords those ships are pathetic. The Klingons and Cardassians often quoted as to how far advanced in comparison their tech was so they employed the Stalin tactic "Quantity is a Quality in itself" Seeing Miranda's would mean seeing Constitution class' as they are the same age. Excelsiors ok fair enough but anything older would be rediculous General Chang and a like would just take them to war!
@2490debrick Gorkon did that as the Excelsior came into production and the Constitution was being phased out so at that time the Excelsior was the Galaxy of it's day. And the Miranda's and Excelsiors were repeated giving tech upgrades. In all the Excelsior had a 30 year reign has the flag class. Ambassador had 10 as did the Galaxy. The Galaxy's flaw was she was design for science first miltary second was the universe was becoming more war like hence the Birth of the Sovereign
Actually, I don't recall when Defiant or Sovereign have particularly huge combat success. True, Defiant(s) were supposed to be used in swarm tactics, but I'd say Starfleet - with it's explore first policy - should have at lest 60% of vessels split between Excelsior / Intrepid / Prometheus class vessels in say 4-4-2 proportions, respectively. Gunboats like Defiant or capital ships like Galaxy had their uses, but both fail as mainstay / workhorses of the fleet.
@AnteyPL Defiant was designed to fight the borg. And I say it was done well of what we've seen Valiant doesn't count due to inexperience crew than vessel design. And the Sovs just started production so there aren't many. the Gal and Sovs are equal to today's Carriers the workhorse is Excel the Gal/sov are backbone
Note - typical technical lifetime of starship in ST Universe is around 100 years or so.
You also see D-Type Klingon cruisers in 24th century. It's like contemporary aircraft carriers - they are built for 50+ years of continued upgrade and operation, with potential for more. And since spaceframe doesn't matter much - what matters is propulsion, shields, sensors, weapons, powerplant - these can be kept up-to-date with relative ease.
@AnteyPL Well I wouldn't want to be in anything older than an Ambassador Class if up against even a single Jem'Hadar Fighter upgrades or not a Miranda space frame would fly apart if in retreat!
@2490debrick High-technology is not always the best way to go. It is far more cost-effective to build 10 older, more durable ships than it is to build one brand new top-of-the range ship that can be destroyed just as easily.
@tnhl77 This is the trouble I have believing there is an episode of Next Gen where the Federation have a grave yard in "Unification" and I just can't believe there would be such a thing 400 years from now in this Universe they would recycle not mothball and fair enough some ships might have a life span of 100 years but do they really I doubt it we're not talking destroyers used by our current royal navy here but Star Ships with advanced technolgy!
@2490debrick maybe those old ships had other jobs like ferries cargo ships flying hospitals and were used just for this purpose kinda like the escape across the channel during WWII and remeber you can upgrade a lot of stuff on those ships e.g. Computers engines warp cores weapons and targeting systems think about this the galaxy's shape in not so different from Kirks old ship
@tnhl77 I was in the RN alot of the ships that are continuously refitted struggle in time because the changes their original designs and lay out of the ship are really mean't for the technology first put in them it's kinda like putting Ipod technolgy in the shell of a Nokia 3310! But by the 2300's with atleast 150 planets pitching in I am sure their Recyclings processes are perfect. An Excelsior I can believe may still be in use but anything older is daft!
@2490debrick hey the miranda's design is not far off from a Nebula class just a little smaller also remember star ship tech is modular just pull out the old computers in their box form and replace it.
@tnhl77 Modular hahaha look at the Refit Constitution from the Motion Picture they had to totally redesign the ship or basically strip it down and recycle the old for new and thats a very backwrd process which is what we do today lol hopefully not 400 years from now but we as a species are in decline so who knows lol...
@2490debrick That's actually not entirely accurate; while large components of the ship were obsolete, the hull plating and geometry remained identical. The nacelles and reflector dish were obviously large changes, as were the primary torpedo launcher; however, large amounts of the ship was salvageable. In fact, in the Technical Manual, they discuss the fact that even the bridges of starships are modular and can be easily interchanged depending on what the nature of the ship's mission is.
@tkardaishou Ok if Its not entirely accurate fair enough but then even if it is in anyway accurate it will be costly and to change something on even a small scale would be a waste to the point where even today changing something small e.g. HMS Torbay a piece of the hull was put in upside down and it actually cost more in its refit it than scrapping it and buying a new boat Lol but thats todays way of thinking which is why Britain looks so bad lol but thats another topic!
The Galaxy class Enterprise D was the most powerful ship ever built! Hands down...she was designed for peace and she kicked ass till the end...with saucer separation abilities, rapid fire phasers, simultaneous photon torpedo launches, battle ready and highly maneuvurable star drive section, ability to withstand prolonged fire fights, and of course the greatest and most ingenious crew ever! Sadly she was only destroyed because ryker and picard let their guard down and underestimated soran/klingo
An actual STARGATE/PORTAL-THING was caught on film in New Mexico. The footage can be found within the short-film entitled "SUDDEN PORTHOLE", which is parked at the PROJECT CAMELOT YouTube page (it's under the George Noory video).
I'm not selling anything…I'm just trying to spread the word about the unseen-dimensions we find ourselves embedded in.
My BLOG contains peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the "debunkers" (use search words "SAM ZURICK" & "BLOG"). THANKS!!
all they had to do.. was switch Data and Worf.. With Data on the firing controls ..the Galaxy could rock..as it should.. just imagine every phaser bank firing at multiple targets.. - - at once!! .. the Enterprise would have sliced the Borg Cube in no time...
I thought the Dreadnaught version of the Galaxy Class from TNG: All Good Things.... was kick ass with high beam phasor array on the under side of the sausor section. Went right through the klingon battle cruiser
sadly the pride of starfleet is only a little better than 3 klingon bird of prey, or 1-2 Cardassian Galor Class starship, slightly less than 1 Romulan Warbird...if it wasn't always the merciful borg cubes hell bent on assimilation, i'm sure it takes only one shot to finish the Glaxy class starship
@techracer2003 that's actually pretty good... considering they were built for exploration and not combat... oh and they're better than vor'cha as well, which is huge.
@techracer2003 Correction...the Enterprise only lost to the klingon ships because the the klingon empire was more powerful in the alternate timeline and the momentum of wiinning the war was on their side..federation morale was down..and the klingons may not be civilized but they can fight better than just about anyone inlcuding the jem hadar.
The Enterprise D always kicked the cardassians ass!
The Galaxy Class is my favorite Trek Ship through out all the series. Always drove me CRAZY that it was always shown being under shielded and slow firing. With the exception of Best of Both Worlds the phasers always fire very slow and the shields seemed to fail very quickly for a 'Federation Flagship.' But, she's still my favorite.
@vulpixgrant The Galaxy class is a (very) powerful Explorer/Science with a diplomatic mission: it's powerful, but is not really intended for warfare. As for the undershielding and slo-firing, that's just the plot.
@Idazmi7 - Yeah no kidding. Got all ST. TNG on DVD and watched it all the way through. Sucks that in some episodes is kicks ass, then in others it a over sized anemic weakling. Every scuffle should have been like the one in Best of both worlds when the stardrive flew in firing phasers over and over. Oh well, there's always the remastered version coming out ;)
@vulpixgrant Yeah, but notice how quickly the ship loses power when fighting like that: A few minutes, tops, and then you're out of power. But the battles against the Birds of Prey in particula should have been better.
@Idazmi7 The Enterprise is only slow firing because of the era in which it was filmed...u cant compare to ds9 which obiviously had more money spent on cgi...but when the enterprise fought the borg and husnok.. and klingons in yesterdays enterprise..she kicked ass! Galaxys were capable of a lot more damage and power on Ds9..her abilities were dramatically played down by DS9 producers/writers trying to glorify the Defiant and the jem hadar.
@rocco24a I know. I early TNG the Galaxy was manuverable, and capable of dishing out more power than the Soverign. I do think it was the most powerful ship. I DON'T think it was combat-optimized, having quite obviously no armor. (Who cares when you have shields, though? Still, better safe than sorry) The Connie and the Galaxy were the best overall: the others really just have a bit more flash to their guns. I'd rather have a ship I could live in, and STILL kick but with.
@Idazmi7 DS9 tried its best to make the dominion as powerful as the borg...they failed.. the dominion would be no match for the borg or even the husnok from tng. As the the Enterprise D...cmon she held her own against the borg...hands down...and if the enterprise d engaged the jem hadar or the defiant the way it took on the borg...she would have whooped their asses!
DS9 didn't use CGI for the ship battles. Until Voyager, all ships on DS9 were pure models. It wasn't until the final shot of the final episode was CGI used to show the station.
I didn't say effects, I said ships. According to the producers, the ONLY CGI used instead of a model was the final shot of the final episode of the station. If I remember correctly, they built a CGI Defiant but it was never used.
Voyager was the first series where every ship was CGI.
That's a pretty damn generic comment. It could have been about anything. Calling someone foolish when you made a generic comment not specifically mentioning anything is pretty foolish itself. You don't want confusion in your comments? Be specific.
@Draknfyre Doesn't apply to the third post. I already mentioned I'm talking about the weapon effects at that point of time, and all you did was start with "I didn't say effects, I said ships."
How about using what's left of that grey-matter in there for once, hmm?
I like how you make a generic comment, someone corrects you on it, and you start throwing insults. Getting all defensive when you made the generic comment in the first place which got the reply. I haven't checked, you might have said something about weapons later, but that initial comment was pretty high up in the recent comments.
Like many Star Trek ships, it's size is inconsistent. It all depends on what size the visual effects people make the ship and this can vary quite a bit from one episode to the next. Prime example - the Klingon Bird of Prey.
It took me a while to fully understand why people love the beauty of the Constitution and Galaxy class ships. After watching videos like these I can see why people love them so much.
Warning 3 Klingon birds of prey off port bow, engage photon torpedo launchers, awesomeness armed, set phasers to WTF just happened to our shields and warpcore mode
It is nice to see the galaxy class starships being used to their full potential

one more thing, i see alot of hate on here for the galaxy class. the galaxy class was total pimp. it's like putting 50 calibers and S.A.M's a couple torpedo bays and maybe a nuke or two on the Queen Elisabeth 2. That way after you level a small town you can kick it poolside and work on your tan. Pimping interstelllar style.

The Galaxy Class was flying junk. Its reactor operated with excessive reactivity, making active safety systems necessary just to keep it from exploding. Its back up systems were unreliable, and the lead designer was a physicist, not an engineer! This Flying Death Trap was a sad joke to space-faring worlds. And don't get me started on the pathetic Command staff!

Apart from when the Galaxy is up against the Borg theynreally are shown as slow and plodding to respond! I wish I had had the money when they were making Dominion War scenes for DS9 because in my ST Universe old bangers wouldn't be seen by Next Gen standards the oldest classes' of ship you'd see would be Rigel, Korolev and Ambassador! Excelsiors would be long gone unless used by an Admiral who's managed to keep his old ship! Seeing Miranda's etc annoys me!
2490debrick 2 months ago
@2490debrick I agree, I disliked seeing older ships myself. However, I can see reason in it. Strapped for resources and production time, it could be seen as they may have raided their ship graveyards for old space worthy ships. Doesn't matter really if they are top of the line, they serve as targets to help protect the better ships at the very least.
gerble36 2 months ago
@gerble36 The only time I can see a ship being mothballed and slapped together would be the yeager class or if an older Admiral has decided to keep their own star ship around for personal use i.e. Admiral Riker with the refit Galaxy otherwise a power house like the Federation should be using Intrepid as their workhorse by NG standards I could believe your point if it were the cardassians or klingons but even the dominion would find that backward!

@2490debrick The Miranda's Oberth's and Excelsiors became the work horses of the fleet and after Wolf 395 and the First Contact the fleet was hit hard and just needed ships and the Galaxy originally only had 3 ships commissioned with 3 spares. so they weren't many of them. And yes they should have shown more Ambassadors

@2490debrick I'm saying from 2290-2339 Excel, Miranda, and Oberth were the mainstays of the fleet making hundreds of them. Ambassador was introduced late 2330's to 2340 then Galaxy in the mid 2350's
Revkor 1 month ago
@Revkor If thats the case then it's a wonder chancellor gorkon bothered to open the khitomer accords those ships are pathetic. The Klingons and Cardassians often quoted as to how far advanced in comparison their tech was so they employed the Stalin tactic "Quantity is a Quality in itself" Seeing Miranda's would mean seeing Constitution class' as they are the same age. Excelsiors ok fair enough but anything older would be rediculous General Chang and a like would just take them to war!
2490debrick 1 month ago
@2490debrick Gorkon did that as the Excelsior came into production and the Constitution was being phased out so at that time the Excelsior was the Galaxy of it's day. And the Miranda's and Excelsiors were repeated giving tech upgrades. In all the Excelsior had a 30 year reign has the flag class. Ambassador had 10 as did the Galaxy. The Galaxy's flaw was she was design for science first miltary second was the universe was becoming more war like hence the Birth of the Sovereign
Revkor 1 month ago
@Revkor
Actually, I don't recall when Defiant or Sovereign have particularly huge combat success. True, Defiant(s) were supposed to be used in swarm tactics, but I'd say Starfleet - with it's explore first policy - should have at lest 60% of vessels split between Excelsior / Intrepid / Prometheus class vessels in say 4-4-2 proportions, respectively. Gunboats like Defiant or capital ships like Galaxy had their uses, but both fail as mainstay / workhorses of the fleet.

@AnteyPL Defiant was designed to fight the borg. And I say it was done well of what we've seen Valiant doesn't count due to inexperience crew than vessel design. And the Sovs just started production so there aren't many. the Gal and Sovs are equal to today's Carriers the workhorse is Excel the Gal/sov are backbone

Note - typical technical lifetime of starship in ST Universe is around 100 years or so.
You also see D-Type Klingon cruisers in 24th century. It's like contemporary aircraft carriers - they are built for 50+ years of continued upgrade and operation, with potential for more. And since spaceframe doesn't matter much - what matters is propulsion, shields, sensors, weapons, powerplant - these can be kept up-to-date with relative ease.

2490debrick 1 month ago
@2490debrick That's actually not entirely accurate; while large components of the ship were obsolete, the hull plating and geometry remained identical. The nacelles and reflector dish were obviously large changes, as were the primary torpedo launcher; however, large amounts of the ship was salvageable. In fact, in the Technical Manual, they discuss the fact that even the bridges of starships are modular and can be easily interchanged depending on what the nature of the ship's mission is.
tkardaishou 1 month ago
@tkardaishou Ok if Its not entirely accurate fair enough but then even if it is in anyway accurate it will be costly and to change something on even a small scale would be a waste to the point where even today changing something small e.g. HMS Torbay a piece of the hull was put in upside down and it actually cost more in its refit it than scrapping it and buying a new boat Lol but thats todays way of thinking which is why Britain looks so bad lol but thats another topic!

The Galaxy class Enterprise D was the most powerful ship ever built! Hands down...she was designed for peace and she kicked ass till the end...with saucer separation abilities, rapid fire phasers, simultaneous photon torpedo launches, battle ready and highly maneuvurable star drive section, ability to withstand prolonged fire fights, and of course the greatest and most ingenious crew ever! Sadly she was only destroyed because ryker and picard let their guard down and underestimated soran/klingo

rocco24a 2 months ago
@rocco24a I know. I early TNG the Galaxy was manuverable, and capable of dishing out more power than the Soverign. I do think it was the most powerful ship. I DON'T think it was combat-optimized, having quite obviously no armor. (Who cares when you have shields, though? Still, better safe than sorry) The Connie and the Galaxy were the best overall: the others really just have a bit more flash to their guns. I'd rather have a ship I could live in, and STILL kick but with.
