What if the Enterprise lost her primary hull?

What if a Klingon battle cruiser fires a photon torpedo to the connecting dorsal of the Enterprise between the primary and secondary hulls in the end of the five year mission, the Enterprise saucer section was severed from the secondary hull and was forced to crash land to a nearest class M planet surface?

It'd look something like this:

FIRST THINGS FIRST THE ENTERPRISE N.C.C.-1701-D WAS THE ONE THAT CRASH BUT THE KLINGONS HAD TOO GET THE SHIELD SETTINGS; SECOND IF THE ENTERPRISE N.C.C.-1701 HAD TOO THAT IF WOULD BEEN SALVAGE FROM THE PLANT LIKE THE ENTERPRISE D WAS SO THAT IT WOULD NOT CONTAMINATE THE PLANET GROWTH OF PREWARP CULTURE FIRSTLY AND SECOND TO SALVAGE PARTS OF THE HULL.

Mr. Sulu, disengage all Caps Locks!
 
IN THE TOS SCOTTY WOULD BE AT THE ENGINEERING PANEL ON THE BRIDGE AND WOULD SEND COMMANDS TO ENGINEERING AND USE THE PANEL FOR EMERGENCIES TO KNOW WHAT SHIELDS AND POWER LEVELS ARE SO HE KNOW TO GET TO ENGINEERING

sorry but my eyes have hard time making out small letters too bad you have less forgiveness of the great bird of the galaxy
 
That's the Auxiliary Auxiliary Control. Not to be confused with Auxiliary Auxiliary Auxiliary Control
the saucer has auxiliary control in case the main bridge is damage the Engineering hull second auxiliary control in case the saucer receive major damage and remember that the saucer has impulse engines in case the Engineering hull is damage majorly

You can increase the text size in most browsers, and you can temporarily magnify a web page window too (PC: Control + to zoom in, Control - to zoom out, and Control 0 (zero) to reset to default zoom).
 
...So we were all supposed to just automatically know that? :wtf:
No but I knew at this and the small letters are hard for me there is no question about ones eyes when joining up but I was told by some member of my mistake and others just said I was shouting the ones that let you are in my opinion high caliber officers
 
^ The caps thing is not just this site but the entire internet, and is the same for texting. I am legit sorry for your eyesight (mine is getting worse, in fact), but there you have it. Can you increase the Display size in your System Preferences?

Re the saucer getting disconnected, this is always a gripe for the ICONIC original Enterprise, but honestly, if you're going to get that close, and fire repeatedly at the same spot enough to shear the hulls apart, why not just target the bridge? Or engineering? Or the weapons, that will kill you by the time you get them apart? Or the engines that will dash the ship away before you can?

People obsess about that dorsal connect, but short of a spheroid ship, you're going to have some parts thinner than others. Let it go. The ship looks freaking awesome.
 
Yep, in "The Immunity Syndrome", Kyle had a line: "Captain, deflector shields just snapped on."
Not only are they automatic, they make a nice snapping sound too. ;)
I thought ship lower deflector shields were as the ship traveled and would increase automatically when seniors pick up anything the ship might have to deflect away from the ship but shields for combat needs have to sat at highest power level. I could be wrong
 
Yes but that time they "popped" instead!
"Errand of Mercy"
SULU: Captain, the automatic deflector screen just popped on. Body approaching.

"The Changeling"
SULU: Captain, shields just snapped on. Something heading in at multiwarp speeds.

Ah, if only they had one more line...
SULU: "Sir, shields are starting to crackle!"
