It might have been easier to just flood the decks with like some deadly gas or something,....seems more practical

[Darkphoenix588]

@deuce01983 true but then you don't get the epic explosion and plus the enterprise was already severly damaged in the attack with the Relient in star trek 2, so as much as i dislike saying it even if they did use some gases or just take life support offline on those decks, I don't believe the enterprise could have survived the battle with the bird of prey

Get out of there Marty!!!

The flux compassitor was unstable.

@elsewho There are several modes of self-destruct from what I know. One is to simply deactivate magnetic containment on the warp core which results in a catastrophic matter-antimatter reaction -- they plan to use this type in Star Trek: The Motion Picture against V'Ger. The other type is to cause all of the EPS relays on the ship to overload at once, which is what you see here, and yes, that is basically all of the "systems" on board the ship exploding at once.

this part always makes me sick,

So let me get this right, when they were building the enterprise they put explosives behind every wall and panel.

If my calculations are correct, once this baby reaches zero, you're gonna see some serious hit.

@Darkphoenix588 True, and I know your comment is over a year old but I just feel like destroying the Enterprise like this didn't really work. It'd be great to see the ship prove the Admiral from earlier wrong, prove that the Enterprise still has life in her. But unfortunately, he was proven right, the Enterprise was old and the only way for it to be useful, was for it to be destroyed.

@MrHoppers002

Well if they wanted to destroy the Bird of Prey they could have just fired more. Since they didn't, and tried to raise the shields instead obviously they wanted a surrender instead (since if Enterprise had been working properly the BOP wouldn't have stood a chance) possibly to grill them for info about what had happened.

Remember the plan was to get Spock and get him to Vulcan. Not kill a bunch of Klingon's.

@GmanGregilla The Kazon-Nistrom was even worse.

[MrHoppers002]

i know. I meant while the bird of prey was shot with the 2 torpedoes and was temporarily disabled. They could've followed up with some more shots or just rammed the bird of prey. but kirk and his crew got old and really slow otherwise they would've done that.
