Short Treks was a great idea. Pity they didn't keep them up with the new shows.
Hoping it will be available internationally and not need VPN. Available on official site and youtube channel.
Seen some of this before elsewhere.
Critical damage causing power failures all over the ship. One possibility could be anti-matter containment fields lose power, and game over.
The Jem'Hadar fighter took a huge chunk out of the secondary hull which contains the warp core and antimatter storage so a runaway matter/antimatterreaction is a likely candidate.
The Odyssey wasn't built with plotarmourium like the Rio Grande was.
So in the DS9 Season 2 episode 26 "Jem Hedar" when the USS Odyessy gets destroyed. What do you think it was that actually destroyed the Odyessy? I mean even after the first Jem Hedar ship rammed it it should have been able to limp home. There should have been loads of safety's on board to prevent the ship exploding like that.
Maybe the piece that flew off and hit the nacelle was the Jem Hedars warp core and that's what caused the explosion.
What do you think?
If you were going to do something like that getting the raw materials at the destination instead of bringing them with you is much more cost effective, that's not rocket science, refining them in space on the other hand seems to be difficult because most (all?) of the methods used on Earth would be extremely difficult to do in space.
Just needs exocomps
Sounds Amazing
Turning An Asteroid Into A Space Station Might Be Possible In A Relatively Short Time
DR. ALFREDO CARPINETI
A ringed space station could be easily and cheaply made from an asteroid, according to a new paper.
Building a large space station, where hundreds of thousands of people, if not more, could live, would not be easy. You would need a lot of material and even when built, your inhabitants would have to deal with two major health issues: the effects of low gravity on their bodies and a lot of cosmic radiation. A new, non-peer-reviewed paper has a bold solution to these problems: build the space station inside an asteroid and get it spinning.
The approach is proposed by David W. Jensen, a retired Technical Fellow at Rockwell Collins, and it gives a pretty detailed view of what would be needed to build it. Very importantly, by using self-replicating robots, the asteroid would be turned into a space station in just 12 years and for as (relatively) little as $4.1 billion. That is a modest sum when it comes to ambitious space projects – and this is certainly ambitious.
Let’s ignore the robotic requirements for the moment. The first step for Jensen was to find a suitable asteroid that could be turned into a space station. He selected asteroid Atira. This is a Near-Earth Object that never crosses the orbit of our planet. It is 4.8 kilometers (3 miles) across and made of stone. It even has a moon, a secondary object of about 1 kilometer (0.6 miles).
The idea would be to use the material on the asteroid to build everything, including solar panels and the station itself. Jensen settled for a torus structure, so shaped like a donut. The exterior edge of the donut would provide protection from several dangers, from radiation to micrometeorites, while multiple levels could be built on the inside to maximize habitability.
Atira rotates every 3.4 hours but this would need to be considerably accelerated in order to provide near-Earth gravity to the inhabitants of this ringed station. With a radius of just over 2.1 kilometers (1.3 miles), it would have to complete one rotation every 105 seconds.
Now the cost and the timescale
Very importantly, by using self-replicating robots, the asteroid.
Sounds like something from Star Trek :) DS9 to be precise.
Plenty of food from Ganymede
It'll be fine. If it goes wrong they can try again on Eros
As long as they don't try it on Phoebe.
The dreams of some people. Is that even something can be done with our technical levels?
I'll be honest, Voyager is the only Trek I've never watched all the way through, and the more I've read of it the more it sounded like a hugely missed opportunity for something unique.
Without the saucer it's a much smaller target too and would have less area for the shields to cover.
Leave the saucer in orbit of a planet to continue a diplomatic mission of sorts while the lower section responds to a distress call or something.
Completely agree on Voyager. With the absence of any starbases to patch the ship up after a battle it would have made more sense to see them ask permission to land on planets to fix up their ship.
Was there any practical use to the saucer separation apart from emergency evacuation? We saw it a couple of times in battle, but can’t really see why they’d look to separate the ship in normal circumstances.
Could they have expired?
The first 4 were released in batch 1 looking at the dates. Hopefully they will reappear.

Weird that they haven't included the first 4.
Yes exactly that it when they are not ar full power at which stage they become really light.
Nah, warp coils are just really heavy.
Would be funny if Voyager had an energy outage and the reverse tractor beam or whatever it is the holds the front of the ship up failed.
Two things that didn't happen often enough through the series'. Enterprise D split in two, Voyager landed on a planet.
Some episodes of documentary scenes Star Trek Center Seat showing up on Amazon Prime Ireland for me.
I'm not sure if it was an actual feature of the toy, but I had several of the (I think micromachine) toys way back in the early 90s and you could separate the OG Enterprise saucer! I'm guessing it was due to manufacturing rather than canon adherence, but it was pretty cool at the time.
Cool that it was discussed but never shown due to filming costs.
Edit:- Only four times for 'D': -
Holding out for the Boys s3, and maybe LOTR. But nothing else is keeping hooked at the moment.
Invincible has a November release schedule
Prime is just about worthwhile for the delivery costs but amazon.co.uk has gotten so bad in terms of product availability and cheap Chinese crap...
Indeed; not only is there a Season 2 due but there has already been an new episode released ... all about Atom Eve & her (back)story.
Season 2 trailer:
