What powered Voyager's holodecks? They often talked about

The plot reactor. Obviously. The real question is where they kept the reset button.

>>82108640
Entertainment is #1 priority
You need to watch holonovels even if the ship is exploding around you

>They often talked about Voyager's hologrid as an "independent subsystem"
Just the writers giving the middle finger to anyone who ever (rightly) said that holodeck problems could be resolved by cutting the power.

Why they'd need independent power aside from a writer tantrum I don't know.

>>82108640
It's the very same sickness Rey had, it's called a deus ex machina. Rey had that sickness and could do anything up to and including Grand master level force abilities, and she was instantly loved and tusted by everyone including the Resistance and Leia. The same disease she has, the holodeck has.

Nah, this is a problem definitely foreseen and fixed the second day after the holodeck was created.

it's quite possible. Human cum is full of energy, it should be easy for a warp civilization to make good use of it

I believe Starfleet actually has no idea how their ships work. They just get the parts from the more advanced species in the Federation and assemble them in their fleetyards.
Whenever there is a problem, the engineers just give a silent command to the ship-AI to solve it, while they try to impress the captain with technobabble.

>>82109580
>20 feet
They'd hover you like 4 feet and make it look higher.

if the doctor is a computer program then why can't they make copies of him?

they could have replicated another mobile holographic emitter and gave a copy of the doctor to that alien planet that likes his singing.

>>82112285
Yeah, but weren't they using organic components in voyager?
That would mean that Doctor grow uniquely

>>82112285
why did they risk the lives of Kim and Paris on that really toxic planet when they could have sent a couple of doctors to mine the deuterium?

>>82112384
Only 1 mobile holo emitter? (I am at season 4 currently)

>>82112407
but can't the replicator just make more?
what is stopping B'Elanna Torres from saying "computer, make another mobile emitter" and grabbing one from a replicator?

>>82112472
Don't they need specs for that?
She could say, that
"Computer make a magic drive that could take us home in a minute"

>>82112472
He's a unique creation - Copying him would require more memory than it's worth to run

The same thing that powered everything else, the bio-neural gel packs.

>>82112747
The Holodecks are powered by something separate from main power and the gel packs where CPUs not power sources..

its powered fro the same stuff that gives them proton torpedos

Rewatching Star Trek stops being fun as you get older and pay more attention to the technobabble. I still can't get over the stupid exploding consoles that kill people all the time.

>>82109869
could you imagine how slick with cum everything in the holodeck would be?

>>82113040

They just replicated more.

>>82113104

>explicitly say that they cannot do that

The Voyager writers must have really hated the audience.

>>82113790

Clearly, otherwise they wouldn't have made Voyager.

>>82110138
Ds9 basically had to function this way, since they were on a cardassian space station.

>>82112285
Uh, they did have copies of him made. That was a plot in an episode.

>>82114289

DS9 was the last level of hell for O'Brien. Trapped on a space station where nothing makes sense and is constantly breaking and no one appreciates him.

>>82114327
Everyone appreciated obrien in ds9
Nog, julian, and worf in particular.

>>82114320
But it was the plot of other episodes that there's only one of him and they can't make a copy. This is why Voyager is bad.

O'Brien is a holo-repairman.

He gave up his red shirt for a gold.

>>82114571
Thats especially true in ds9
Any holodeck problem ep was an obrien ep

Obrien! Clean up the splooge in Holosuite 3!

Magic. Star trek is high fantasy, not sci-fi. You might as well ask how could those gigantic elephants in LotR survive on grass, or what mechanism powers the flying brooms in Harry Potter.

>>82114736

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. It's sci-fi.

>>82114762
Then LotR is sci fi too.

>let's have the holodeck system connected to the main power so if something happens the entire grid is destroyed

>>82114808

There is some technology in it so in a certain odd way of looking it could be.

>>82114824
Something goes wrong with the holodeck more often than something goes wrong with main power.

>>82114889
exactly
it's better to keep the two systems on different grids

>>82114940
I can understand the holodeck using separate CPU/RAM/SSD, but why separate electricity too?

When Neelix's semen infects the holodeck with a virus, that virus isn't going to piggyback its way to the main computer on the power cord.

>When Neelix's semen infects the holodeck with a virus, that virus isn't going to piggyback its way to the main computer on the power cord.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_communication

>>82115052
So don't use it?

That's not an inherent feature of power cords, that something that you have to specifically build in.

>>82114545
The entire franchise is Riker in a holodeck so everything counts.

>>82114831
But is there any point in asking what evolutionary or technological advancement makes mumakil possible? You can make shit up all you want, but Tolkien most definitely did not have an answer so the only answer is "magic". Same with star trek.

>>82114460
The top right of that image annoys the shit out of me.

>Engineer X, the Klingons are attacking, how long will it take you to fix Gizmo Y, something I, as a bridge officer know nothing about, which we need to defend ourselves?
>Gizmo Y, which I, as head of engineering, am intimately familiar with, has been heavily damaged Captain Z, it'll take up *at least* twenty minutes to get it back up and running!
>You have ten Engineer X, make it so.

The correct course of action for the engineer in this situation is to tell the captain to pull his head out of his arse and accept that if the highly trained and motivated engineering crew give him an eta on vital repairs, they're probably not adding ten minutes to it so they can sit around and have a coffee halfway through.

Starfleet crew aren't paid by the hour as far as I'm aware.

>>82109394
When did they have holodeck problems where one of the programs or whatever hadn't taken control of the ship so as they couldn't just cut the power?

>>82115580
Your other right.

>>82115641
derp, yeah.

What does Starfleet do in situations that require ground forces? Just throw wave after wave of unequipped redshirts at the problem or have dedicated soldiers/peacekeepers ever been mentioned?

Seems odd that Section 31, a black-ops division full of assassins and saboteurs that go against everything the Federation is supposed to stand for get a free reign and unlimited black budget, but apparantly maintaining an army/marine corp would be too militaristic.

>Mr. O'Brien,you're a transporter specialist. Please run a diagnostic and get back to Commander LaForge with recommended repair plan. We're all counting on you.

>Mr. Worf, when I want to hear the opinion of a wild beast I will ask you. Until that time, keep your mouth shut.

DS9:
>Chief! Did I say you were allowed to sleep!?

>Mr. Worf, join me and Admiral Ross in the briefing room. I highly value your opinions and experience and I want you in there with is coming up with strategies against the Dominion.

One of things I liked about B'elanna Torres is she does exactly that. There's a line in early VOY were she says she needs x time for something, Janeways says she's got x-y to do it. B'elanna replies no, she gave the time she needed.

>>82115888
Yellow shirts, the security force. Plus a few command and a couple medical. Basically the same makeup as a starship crew. DS9 has a couple episodes like this.

>>82116572
"ground forces" you see them in a few episodes of DS9. They wear black rubberised uniforms with a stripe of colour indicating position ( all command and security, red and yellow) One dies in a hole with Jake.

I have Voyager season 1 and DS9 season 1, which do I watch first?

DS9, since that happens first.

>DS9 was the last level of hell for O'Brien.
Nope, he once stated that he preferred DS9 as he was always busy but on the Enterprise he was bored mad.
