Starfleet: Building warships is not part of Federation doctrine. Also Starfleet: We seem to be good at accidentally building starships that can take on warships.
It's a matter of semantics. They don't design _for_ war, they just design exploration vessels... made to declare war on their lack of knowledge. And sometimes also declare war. They don't design ships that are warships; they design ships that are _also_ warships.
Why were the weapons on the underside only? In space there is no up or down. They should have had the same weapons on the top as well. Would have been much better against the Suliban Swarm ships
no weapons then how do you protect yourself from the bully's out there just roll over and play dead and hope they believe your rouse or they kill you sounds like a trap to me boy
In the Trekverse, we knew there were other advanced species prior to heading out and they (the Vulcans) told us that not all were peaceful and benevolent as they, the Vulcans, were….so arm up. In the realverse we live in, when we finally create a practical FTL drive….the status quo is that we’re it. Still better a reason to arm up in case we aren’t alone and the ones we meet are bigger assholes than humanity can be.
I love how the NX gets more and more beaten the hell up and damage continuity actually is maintained throughout the third season. Upgrades, too, throughout the entire series - something which Voyager absolutely failed at.
@@bmaiceman yes. Everything was repaired the next episode, even catastrophic hull damage, even when they had no access to shipyards. They also had limited photon torpedos (and ended up using many more), and they couldn't replicate those biological circuits they had the ship built around - and still repaired everything somehow.
Had I been Tpol, assigned to such a primitive ship, my report to the Vulcans the next week would have been that the humans were far more innovative than we thought. They cracked shields, phasers, antimatter warheads, and tractor beams in one week, who knew. Don't worry about my safety, I'm sure I'll be fine.
When did Enterprise acquire a tractor beam?? They saw the Vulcans, Andorians and several other species use them but they didn't have the technology to equip their ship with them. I'm curious when this occurred since I've watched every episode (several times over) and never once saw this acquisition. They had grapplers but that was it.
@@KnowTrentTimoy, Enterprise probably would have acquired that tractor beam,had the series been allowed to continue and we would have seen the Romulan War, which of course would have made major upgrades for Enterprise and her sisters.

Overall Enterprise did the " We want to be explorers but it turns out the galaxy is full of nasties, we might need guns after all " dilemma/arc quite well. It's alway's been in Star Trek including TOS but it plays out slightly differently in each time period.
I feel like Enterprise does it better than some of the other shows, because Humanity in ENT is so far behind other races technologically. They can't rely on the TOS Era plot shields to last them a whole episode, or the Galaxy Class being just unbreakable.
@@AlfaPro1337 By unbreakable, what I mean is that you never see a damaged Galaxy class because they were using studio models, that weren't cheap to replace, so no matter the bearing Enterprise was getting in TNG it would never receive damage.

ahh, the NX-01 Enterprise, armed with only a few low powered phasers and early photon torpedoes. one of my favorite ships, and you gotta love that battle damage, makes it look sexy and fierce.
Pretty much any USS starship: Shields are down, ship’s hull is virtually made out of cardboard. NX-01 gets turned into Swiss cheese: Tis but a scratch! *keeps on functioning as if nothing happened.
Love how many of their foes have respect for the captain & crew, but the ship, tech, and weapons are annoyances rather than threats for the longest time.
I was glad when the Enterprise finally got phaser cannons. That was the point when the Enterprise stopped getting it's butt kicked by everybody and his mother.
@@Bill23799 anything that can be used defensively can also be used offensively - that's a staple of sci-fi. If Earth had effective shields it might have started a war with the Klingons, or the Andorians, or other near-Earth species.

This show is so underrated. I like the fact that in the beginning they actually shot missiles instead of Torpedos 0:23 ps: a scene is missing, prior to that attack at 3:47 they fire 2 Torpedos at Duras, that was they first use of the new Torpedos. Nice compilation, well done, thank you. 😊🖖

@@BigAntTVMedia no, phothonic torps are a subtype Those things the ent fired like missiles are spatial torps . In the beggining of the show there still not created the phothon ones
What's sad is Archer's suggestion to up gun the next NX coming off the line was not only ignored but written off by its captain as being "cynical", when Archer and his crew paid DEARLY for going into deep space with the equivalent of potato guns compared to most of the other races. Heck even the Vulcans who were all about peace and the status quo knew to give their ships actual teeth in case someone decided to attack them.
Pretty sure during Home episode, Columbia has ventral and dorsal torpedo launchers, and the upgraded pulse phase cannon, with his recommendations being used. Not sure which time frame, but pulse phase cannon---more likely before The Expanse. Ventral and dorsal torpedo launchers---more like during mid-construction of Columbia. Even hull plating was improved again, in the same episode, the first being The Expanse. It was Archer being "cynical", as he doesn't want aliens to fear humans during first contact, because a human ship is heavily gunned. However, 3-4 years in deep space, especially Xindi arc, made him realised that a ship with shit tons of guns is better than having little.
I read a novel where the Xindi decided to target Andoria instead of Earth, You know what happened, Shran with the Kumari absolutely carpet bombed the shit out of them. The Captain of the Columbia should have been told off by Archer for that, Archer and his crew were viciously attacked, 17 crew members dead, some of those didn't even have a body to bring back home. yet she has the hubris to say archer is being cynical. They should put the best tactical systems on every ship going forward. That novel suggests that if Star Fleet or the NX class had equivalent shields and weapons to an Andorian or Vulcan ship, it would of been able to handle the Xindi fairly easily, the battle of Azati prime would have likely been the other way round, 4 xindi ships receiving a beating instead,
@@AlfaPro1337 In Archers own words, "We needed those weapons, and a whole lot more". Like you said, Archer realised the hard way that not everyone out there is friendly and it's better to have the best weapons possible available to you than have the bare minimum.
Love how they showed the tech progression plasma cannon to phase cannons spatial charges to photonic to photon torpedoes. All the steps up the ladder that allowed that little ass kicker to punch well above it's weight. If only the Vulcans hadn't been so stingy & given them shields.
Yup. It's implied that the Andorians which ultimately help Starfleet develop shields and blue Phasers. (in one alternative future they straight up do, and it's implied that in the main timeline they do as the process to forming the UFP continues)
Had the series not been prematurely canceled, the refit NX would've been given better engines (warp 7 capability) full shields, and all-aspect phasers (blue TOS phasers)
And just 200 years later, which isn't really that long when you think about it, humanity becomes one of the most powerful and technologically advanced species in the quadrant with some of the most powerful shields and weapons
Just remember: 1903 - first human flight of a heavier than air plane. It flew 0.02 miles. 1914 - first use of weapons on planes, started off just dropping bricks, darts, and grenades off the side, year later it was machine guns and bombs. 1945 - mass production of planes capable of flying 2800 miles and dropping a bomb that can turn an entire city into ash.
did you see where those towing cables came from? a big pole came outta the belly of the ship where the cable is anchored.... nah man im sorry that thing would be bent into all directions and damage the enterprise. its not well thought out. and besides that a tow should come out from the aft or the front-section of the ship.
07:45 The longest continuous scene of one ship firing photon Torpedoes in all of Star Trek 😁 . Also the largest number of Torpedoes we see any ship discharge in a single battle. (DS9 fires thousands at the Klingons & Dominion, but she is a Space Station 😂)
1:13 still bugs me years later- you can see the Enterprise has FOUR forward torpedo tubes, but for some reason they only fire two torpedoes which only do relatively minor damage to the Elachi ship.
They're Starfleet. They took a bit of a time to stop holding back 😉 . (against the Borg'ified ship they finish it off with a complete salvo of Torpedoes, and with the Zindi Weapon they unload a record setting number of torpedoes for any one scene in Star Trek [fourteen, with others implied off screen])
Definitely. It was an incredibly well-built ship, and was capable of remarkable levels of upgrading and refits. It's no surprise many of Starfleet's vessels in the centuries to come would carry so much of its design philosophies forward.
@@heartoffire5902 in fact, I'd also like to point out that the columbia class, or the nx refit would still be in service even going into the dominion war. At least that is what I heard anyways.
00:00:55 Enterprise SN-01 destroys an Mouintain, the size of Mount Everest. During the Weapon-Test, they Patched the Warp-Plasma-Conduits into the Energy-Circuits for the Phasers, increasing the Output far over what they expected - later they redid that "Mistake" to overpower an Enemy.
yeah i know right all the phase cannon coverage is on the ventral section of the ship limiting the ships combat capability's hugely as a ship could stay on the dorsal section and not take phase cannon hit's
What I don’t get, is even though the phase cannons aren’t shown and no mention of them being installed, except for the slight refit to fight the xindi, later on they are clearly firing from the dorsal side just aft of the bridge. Are there phase cannons there or not?
These battle still hold up! Enterprise was such a good show. Edit. Also the sound effects are so on point. The new stuff sounds so generic in comparison.
Hate that this show got cancelled just as it was starting to get good. This was the Star Trek other than the original franchise movies that made me a fan. After that, it's a no-brainer to watch the franchise chronologically 😅
They wouldn't make sense in the context of star trek because every gun is automated. Maybe they could have had an episode were the targeting system glitches out and they have to use the gunner seats
Nice montage. The first time I saw the scene with hull being ruptured and some of the crew being blown out into space I freaked and thought, that would suck
I love the fact that the Enterprise started out outgunned and running from most of the early conflicts but ended up being able to punch way above its weight class by the end of the series.
Considering that we see the neck of a Klingon Bird-of-Pray snap off at least twice on screen (and probably a whole lot more off screen), it is surprising that even the Klingons didn't feel the need to thicken it for at least another two centuries.
The BOPs are not supposed to fight i n pitched battles, they are smaller ships meant for escort duty. D7s and later the Vorcha class were the real heavy hitters.
I'm sure that for Enterprise they should've brought back the TOS era sound effect for the phasers, but damn I love the power of the TNG era phasers sound effect.
I like how the Klingons and Starfleet basically have the same weapons in the 22nd Century as they did with the 24th. The Klingon disruptors are the same as the Yesterday's Enterprise disruptors.
That said, Ent' established that ToS phasers & torpedoes are vastly more powerful, when the Terran Empire routed an entire Andorian-Vulcan-Tellerate fleet with a single Connie class (the ToS era USS Defiant) 😉
I've loved Star Trek since the beginning...I like DS9 the best, followed by Enterprise. Kind of hard to watch the original now, but I watched it almost everyday as a kid. I haven't got much interest in the rebooted movies
This ship had a lot to learn and technology aka weapons to acquire in it's early life. But took great strides to make new friends in there missions across our accessible side of our galaxy
1:55 and here you see the actual armed NX01. only 3 phaser cannons? Yea doubt that much. At her height she had around 16 or so around her hull to cover all angles. 8 where alone at the bottom. So yea, underdog? Underarmed? I dont think so. Especiel not after fighting 1v1 against a raptor AND WINNING (Right Duras? XD)
I didn't think this show was bad at all considering that it was before the formation of the Federation. The NX class had no shield and didn't even have armor of any sort. They only upgraded to phasers later, It's a miracle they didn't get blown away more often. I think most people hated it is because it was pre everything. It was even before TOS and even SNW. Everything was just 'primitive' compared to later era series.

@@heartoffire5902 in fact, I'd also like to point out that the columbia class, or the nx refit would still be in service even going into the dominion war. At least that is what I heard anyways.
@@RandomYT05_01 what you might be thinking of is Akira class which has similar design
@@KsieciuZla does not change the fact that it is a tough little ship that lasted for centuries past the 22nd.
I just like to say this, the NX-01 did give big shoes for the NCC 1701
I love thé little United Earth Ships that were pre-warp 5 vessels. The triangular primary hull was pretty cool.
So do I, one of my small nitpicks is that they didn't show up in the earth battle at the end of season 3
My FAVOURITE youtuber. You are crazy maaaaan

During the Weapon-Test, they Patched the Warp-Plasma-Conduits into the Energy-Circuits for the Phasers, increasing the Output far over what they expected - later they redid that "Mistake" to overpower an Enemy.
Hi, I've finally added chapters based on your comment. Enjoy!
@@Anbello2 ok copy
Anyone else notice that they finally did a season long version of "Year of Hell" in enterprises 3rd season.....?
This thing desperately needed dorsal canon coverage.
yeah i know right all the phase cannon coverage is on the ventral section of the ship limiting the ships combat capability's hugely as a ship could stay on the dorsal section and not take phase cannon hit's
What I don’t get, is even though the phase cannons aren’t shown and no mention of them being installed, except for the slight refit to fight the xindi, later on they are clearly firing from the dorsal side just aft of the bridge. Are there phase cannons there or not?
Skip the Banks and just give it phaser arrays
@@niceguy60 fuck phaser arrays they don't look as cool as pop down phase cannons much more interesting to watch and more bad ass
The Enterprise had something like 12 phase cannons by the end of the show. Archer liked him some guns...👍
These battle still hold up! Enterprise was such a good show.
Edit. Also the sound effects are so on point. The new stuff sounds so generic in comparison.
Hate that this show got cancelled just as it was starting to get good. This was the Star Trek other than the original franchise movies that made me a fan. After that, it's a no-brainer to watch the franchise chronologically 😅
I think a couple of gunner's seats in the armory would've been really cool.
They wouldn't make sense in the context of star trek because every gun is automated. Maybe they could have had an episode were the targeting system glitches out and they have to use the gunner seats
@@Anbello2 Well, they had manual controls for the helm. There's no reason they wouldn't have them for the weapons as well.
No wonder the space Nazis lost if they're down to using Stukas as fighter interceptors.
Fineeee I’ll rewatch the series
Don't forget Regeneration ❤❤❤❤❤ Borderland & Bound
10:44 I guess it's traditional in trek to reuse a klingon bird of prey exploding whenever you get the chance to. First Generations, now ENT 😛
I miss Enterprise
Nice montage. The first time I saw the scene with hull being ruptured and some of the crew being blown out into space I freaked and thought, that would suck
late to the party, but get out with your pun...
@@Ruzaraneh The NX is like the US P 47 Thunderbolt no matter how hard you beat it. It just will not die
It’s beeeeeewen a loopoooooong road, getting from here to there!
Great compilation!
How many torpedoes did they actually have in store for the Delphic Expanse? 😂
Until now, I still can't believe that the Enterprise left spacedock without a Phase Cannons.
@@Gnomezonbacon just Torpedoes, similar to what we use now. The nards.
La Hummer
I think the torpedoes of the Enterprise are hydrogen bombs, or am I wrong about that?
@@lahummer5759 They also had plasma cannons.
They weren't gonna be installed until tuesday.
@@thatguynexus5935 Beat me to it.
Starfleets very first pride and joy❤️
I love the fact that the Enterprise started out outgunned and running from most of the early conflicts but ended up being able to punch way above its weight class by the end of the series.
@@TenchiKun016 the ship had more of a character arc than Mayweather!
phaser shoot at asteroid is like charge the asteroid, when the beam stops, then only it explode.
Tough little ship
Missiles! How quaint.
Considering that we see the neck of a Klingon Bird-of-Pray snap off at least twice on screen (and probably a whole lot more off screen), it is surprising that even the Klingons didn't feel the need to thicken it for at least another two centuries.
The BOPs are not supposed to fight i n pitched battles, they are smaller ships meant for escort duty. D7s and later the Vorcha class were the real heavy hitters.
They really did a number on that S'golth class. Elachi are creepy.
You missed the photonic cannons from the pilot
Das ist eine wirklich gute Serie gewesen. Schade das sie nach so kurzer Zeit eingestellt wurde. Ich hätte gerne mehr davon gesehen.
I'm sure that for Enterprise they should've brought back the TOS era sound effect for the phasers, but damn I love the power of the TNG era phasers sound effect.
11:03 Romulan drone is move fast! Is it played by Remote control?!
You missed a scene from Broken Bow.
Great posting, no matter how out gunned the Enterprise was , she held her ground 🖖😎
Its a trap, sir!
There's TWO of them!
For not being able to fire Phasers while at Warp they sure did a good job.
The phase cannons were tied into the impulse systems, so…
It's very convenient that whoever NX-01 is fighting has different coloured phasers so the viewer doesn't get confused!😆
Even the alternate timeline enterprise at 7:14 has differently coloured phasers😂
@@Anbello2 yes it was andorian phasers
I like how the Klingons and Starfleet basically have the same weapons in the 22nd Century as they did with the 24th. The Klingon disruptors are the same as the Yesterday's Enterprise disruptors.
That said, Ent' established that ToS phasers & torpedoes are vastly more powerful, when the Terran Empire routed an entire Andorian-Vulcan-Tellerate fleet with a single Connie class (the ToS era USS Defiant) 😉
1:33 I never noticed until now how two of those Cell Ships destroy themselves by crashing into debris from the bigger ship!
I've loved Star Trek since the beginning...I like DS9 the best, followed by Enterprise. Kind of hard to watch the original now, but I watched it almost everyday as a kid. I haven't got much interest in the rebooted movies
This ship had a lot to learn and technology aka weapons to acquire in it's early life. But took great strides to make new friends in there missions across our accessible side of our galaxy
1:55 and here you see the actual armed NX01. only 3 phaser cannons? Yea doubt that much. At her height she had around 16 or so around her hull to cover all angles. 8 where alone at the bottom. So yea, underdog? Underarmed? I dont think so. Especiel not after fighting 1v1 against a raptor AND WINNING (Right Duras? XD)
What episode is that large blue ship at 2:10 from?
S2 E18 "the crossing"
This compilation just made me realize how much of Enterprise I missed.
I didn't think this show was bad at all considering that it was before the formation of the Federation. The NX class had no shield and didn't even have armor of any sort. They only upgraded to phasers later, It's a miracle they didn't get blown away more often. I think most people hated it is because it was pre everything. It was even before TOS and even SNW. Everything was just 'primitive' compared to later era series.
Boy, Humans walked right out into the galaxy and wanted all the smoke.
