there are some good non-o'neil episodes. like the one where they gate into the museum and the people think sg1 is terrorists. and then when sg1 cant convince them they arent terrorists they decide to just go with it and hold them hostage until they can get the gate working

"oh no the engine is a ticking time bomb," and "troi can't do the thing that actually makes her useful to the show because

in the new star trek one thing that bothered the hell out of me is when kirks dad is on the bridge and flyin the ship into nemo's ship he cant leave b/c apparently the auto pilot doesnt work but he can still fly by wire and also the ship cant fly straight w/out someone at the helm?

yeah but if they were designed properly you could have a backup core or two on board to replace it. also in federation space there are probably plenty of nearby places that could bring u out a core.

why are there usually like two nacells or whatever and only one core aren't the nacells far away from humans because they're bad for you why isn't the core bad what does the core do what's happening

things i know about warp cores - they can explode - they can be ejected sometimes - you poke at them with crystals and sensors - sometimes they make aliens appear/spawn

nacelles house the warp coils used to generate the subspace bubble used to travel thru subspace. matter and antimatter are injected into the core and their reaction generates plasma that is fed to the coils in the nacelles. iirc the reason they're on pylons is cause the original production designers thought they would be detachable and easly replaced. this obv never really was used in the lore and while influencing other designs, is less pronounced (oberth class) or completely abandonded in certain ship designs (defiant class)

nacelles also house ramscoops used to pickup stray hydrogen which is the primary form of matter used in the core

Inverse Icarus posted:the warp core is actually housed in a giant replicator i remember one of those was actually a p good episode voyager landed on a planet with metallic stuff that would clone whatever showed up. they flew off and never thought it of it again then like a season and a half later theres this new voyager thats way further along that did all this awesome stuff. turns out the planet cloned the whole ship, but its better in most every way. except they start breaking apart b/c warp is bad and fucks up the magic goo they're made of. they figure it out that theyre actually metal goo people in a metal goo ship and decide to try to at least get their records to the original voyager (who's tremendously far behind them lol), but on the way they sort of fall apart and dont make it.
