Engineering updates

Noticed while skimming episodes the other day some changes in Main Engineering during the first couple of seasons that I hadn't noticed before (or just forgotten about).

Specifically, I'm going to focus on the back end of Engineering, where the Master Systems Display is located:

Nice and busy

Now that area doesn't show up in Encounter at Farpoint, the couple of shots in engineering are centered around the warp core and the catwalk surrounding it (the open elevator connecting the two gets a lot of use in there).

Hot elevator action!

The MSD appears in the next episode The Naked Now but it's all alone.

Nothing more than a repurposed wide corridor where we stuck a giant screen, and it's green (it will stay green for the first two seasons). There's also no isolinear stacks underneath the MSD, and the hallways panels are missing some LCARS. Oh and we don't have our pool table MSD table.

The next time we see engineering from this angle is The Last Outpost.

A lot of progress for sure, but it's not right. The LCARS panels have been added to the bulkhead and the isolinear stacks are now underneath the display. The MSD Table, itself recycled from Star Trek 4, hasn't fully undergone the TNG conversion and looks out of place.

Here it is in The Voyage Home:

The Lighting elements that are flush against the Display are the wrong shape, flanking it. for comparison:

And now, a brief interlude to Where No One Has Gone Before:

They're GREEN. I had not...it had not clicked with me before (at least not consciously) that the lighting panels were green for the episode. I don't know if they were still tweaking the look or decided it should be green bc of Kosinski's so-called upgrades but in any case it's green and distracting now that I see it.

table's still wrong:

I feel like they're going to show us some x-rays on here.

By the time we reach 11001001 the table looks right (hard to tell from this angle but looks like the entire surface is reflective now).

the big lights are off, for some reason.

Another quick detour, this time to Home Soil, where the MSD also acts as a viewscreen:

also when you put chairs there it really emphasizes how those controls look like navigation (you can control the ship from Engineering I guess you could set it up that way).

The rest of the season won't see any further changes. Season 2, starting with Where Silence Has Lease the lighting elements around the MSD will have been updated to the ones that will remain throughout the rest of the series

The lighting might have changed between Where Silence Has Lease and Q-Who or just might be colour processing.

Finally, season 3 brings us the updated MSD with more detailed okudagrams on it

There might be rubber duck in there.

It will remain mostly unchanged for the rest of the series, except at some point someone slapped a label on the bottom left.

(this occured at some point between s3-4)

A final, minor, update was brought to the MSD where the label was removed and two lines were added to the pedestal for Star Trek: Generations.

(similarly to how the runabouts had a bunch of random lines that looked like electrical tape to make the sets pop).

If nacelles glow blue because they're getting rid of heat then why do the nacelles on alien ships glow different colors?

That's a good question!

I took some artistic liberty with the nacelle color there but we can still play in that space.

Ships in Star Trek pipe plasma to the nacelles. It's unclear why, but sometimes we see it labeled "plasma coolant" as in First Contact. Plasma is matter that's been superheated to the point that the electrons in its atoms are ripped away.

So my best guess is that warp cores run hot enough to ionize whatever coolant they're using, which is then sent to the nacelles to cool back into its gaseous form.

Different materials glow different colors when heated. Copper sulfate glows green, potassium chloride glows purple, etc. So the different colors in the nacelles might be the result of different types of coolant being used.

The art class was real good. Though we where supposed to draw a fruit bowl me and a few others got a bit distracted and came up with a ship concept. It was me and and Indra from engineering who thought it up. Call it a impulsive passion project. XD

hands you all this cal to announce i’ve FINALLY finished fallen order (by which i mean i finally picked it up again after those couple hours i played a few months ago and then finished the whole game in 2 days lol)

#cal kestis #bd 1 #jedi fallen order #jfo #star wars #my doods #anyway HOLY CRAP YOU MEAN STAR WARS WAS ALLOWED TO BE GOOD BEFORE ANDOR (2022-)???????????????

MOST FEAR INSPIRING VIDEOGAME ENCOUNTER EVER #my only criticisms are the awkward navigation/ level design in some areas and maybe the ending felt a bit lackluster somehow #i say somehow bc i dont get how lol #the reason im making this post past midnight is bc i got off work at 10pm and then immediately had to finish it LOL #anyway big heart emojis im very happy i sat down and actually played it finally #i want jedi survivor now LOL unfortunately it costs money and i have a rule i never buy games in release year lol #tbh i never rlly buy games til they're £20 or less

The concept art for the personal project I've been working on, It’s a story about a starship library that captures people to turn them into living encyclopedias for a great purpose…(it's kinda ludicrous...) And Theo is an alien made of obsidian, who works for the library. He is forced to start interstellar travel with her because of some unforeseen events.

Aaron Harvey's 32nd century version of the California-class

#star trek #star trek lower decks #lower decks #star trek discovery #starship design #star trek Facebook

[starfleetskunkworks]

So I did some quick calculations based on my thermal management post here. I imported a side view of a refit Constitution-class starship to AutoCad and traced the radiator on the nacelle and pulled the area in square meters. Then I multiplied it by 4 to account for the radiator on the other side plus the two on the opposite nacelle.

Plugging that into the equation from my last post, assuming an emissivity of 0.99 (being pretty optimistic about 23rd century material science) and a temperature of 3273 K (around the temp that flames glow blue), results in a waste heat load of 10 gigaWatts, or 10 billion Joules per second.

tootsie noodles perhaps,,, hes So

ty for suggesting this!! it made me realise i’ve never made Starship fanart so i got carried away and i also drew Junior and tried to do a redesign of Mega-girl’s costume hehehhee

#i fear i didnt quite do Tootsie justice #mayhaps i’ll try to draw him again sometime…. #also i will DEFINITELY be revisiting the megagirl design #i’m gonna give her so much armour. i’m going to make her so functional. #she will have big gauntlets and big boots. #starkid #team starkid #starship #tootsie noodles #tootsie megagirl #junior #starship junior #megagirl #starship musical
