I love how the independent power sources for holodecks were touched on in later series as a mental health thing. In Picard season 3 someone explicitly asks why their holodeck bar was still up and running

[frankhaugen]

Holodecks are backup hospital wards and bunk rooms, mentioned in some random trivia somewhere. I think I had a cutaway poster where this was stated in the blurb for either Voyager or Enterprise E. So it makes sense it would have its own power source and life support

[julianaylor]

My favourite episode concerning the neural gel packs was the infection one, Macrocosm...Janeway going Ripley on huge infection organisms.
There was plenty of stuff about Voyager trying to conserve power with their replicators, so they must have used the replicators to build new shuttles, etc, instead of using it for other things like food, which they traded for.
You forgot that Voyager got some boosts that were getting to jump long distances, found short cuts and eventually got to go home, with the future Janeway.
Flipping things upside down, seems to be a common practice, with special effects. 😁

1:16 the reason why Voyager's aeroshuttle wasn't used was because they were going to release Insurrection at the time and the production team didn't want Voyager's aeroshuttle to potentially steal the thunder from the Enterprise's Captain's Yacht.

Good to see Adam.vKeep forgetting he exists these days. Bring him back!

Voyager there was an entire episode about the fact that the hollow decks were on separate power cells than the ship. Janeway says something about the reason it’s on separate power cells is because of if they lose power and are stranded for a long time they would have something to keep their mind occupied.

[McKay]

I was always under the impression the reason for the independent power source for the holodecks on Voyager was a survival thing. In an emergency the holodecks could serve as disaster shelters with their own power supply and replicators.

By far the coolest and fun part of the video is seeing Sean through the years❤

[tnolddawg]

The independent power sources for Voyager holodecks were because some Intrepid class Captain was killed in a mountain climbing accident when power was disrupted and he fell 20 feet to the deck and broke his neck 😂

[DemonicBolt]

Voyager - They talk about building photon torpedoes, they only have a few shuttles at any given time but can build more, and they CAN have a second warp core, but as their mission didn't warrant the need for 2 at the time (and the Federation was building more ships), they only left dock with one

[medic-ggjo]

I have my own theory, on why the holodecks had independent power sources. After the events of TNG episode "Ship In A Bottle", the designers of Voyager, wanted to avoid a situation, in which a holographic character (like Moriarty), could take control of the ship. Here's another possible reason. The starship Voyager, was designed as a science vessel. It would stand to reason, they would need more advanced and more powerful holodecks, for research and experimentation. making it necessary, for the independent power source.

oh didnt realize this was a compilation.... i can keep this on all morning

1:29:07 - I didn't know Frank Welker, most famously known as the voice of Megatron from Transformers, did a voice in this too. Learned something new!

[ericacook]

It always amazes me when people only get part of the holodeck, being a separate power system. Their emergency medical system is a hologram. In an emergency the holodeck can become a second or even third or fourth medical sueite. It may only be able to hold the sick and recovering, but that frees up the actual infirmary for care. Beyond that, having the holodecks running even when everything else is down means that if they need to run practical simulations, they can without draining other systems.

[ZgguratVertgo]

All those years ago I saw and MSD of the Voyager and saw the two warp cores, and figured that's how such a small ship could achieve such a high warp factor. Prior to the Intrepid Class, you make a faster starship by making a bigger starship - bigger warp nacelles, bigger warp core, more distorting of space. A smaller ship would be faster and more agile at impulse speeds but at warp bigger = faster. Voyager turned that on its head, and I always figured she was just running not only a newer, more compact, more pound-for- pound powerful warp core, but two of them. Wouldn't the engineering sections have looked cool with a warp core at either end? Oh and I'm sure the variable warp geometry thing with the moving nacelles have something to do with that too.

[brianskee]

Voyager's holodecks had a completely separate computer system and power source to stop writers from going nuts with crazy holodeck episodes. Remember when holographic Moriarty threw a lever and broke the Enterprise, Starfleet's top-of-the-line flagship? Yeah. It got to a point where we'd all say "oh god not another holodeck episode" during the original airing of TNG.

[EggsyTrekJedi]

Wowsers 😮 EIGHTY tidbits on Starships!?!? You guys are just Awesome Sauce with a Side of Fantastic 😊

[inyangudo-ema]

Adam you're talking about the quantum torpedoes they had replenishable photon torpedoes

[kobrabubbles]

Having done work on Naval Carriers and support vessles, can confirm the theory that old parts are re used on smaller craft. It makes sense to do that for the Cerritos.

[DaellusKnights]

I almost embarrassed myself earlier... This came on autoplay while I was maintenancing a guestroom at work, and right at the beginning I saw it was posted about an hour prior. I almost commented "I love Adam [Cleary], but why the repost? I've seen this at LEAST five times...?" ... Then it went to the next segment with Sean, and I was like "Oh... it's a compilation. 😳"

Color ME awkward... 😱
(still watching the whole thing!) 😂😭🤣 😻👍
