Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

Re: Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

Oh, by the way, I have two small corrections for you.

On your image...

...on the DEFLECTOR SCREENS panel the label under the two red hexagons reads

INTRUDER
SENSOR​

And the lower left button on the PHASER CHARGING panel is a circle not a hexagon, and lights up green.

Rick Sternbach posted a small pic of the panel on Facebook recently and I was finally able to make out those details.

Donny, I don't know if you've used this for reference yet, but here's the set layout as it was during "The Motion Picture":

Re: Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

Maybe it's not the "same" hallway that is next to the transporter room? The hallway next to the doctor's office has a "???ology" sign in it while the transporter room hallway does not. (It's the same set though. Great find!)

I've got it pretty close, right??

Yep. But you're missing the desk/table (see below).

CLICK TO EMBIGGEN!​

And no one seems to have mentioned it, but as you can see, this hallway is what's actually seen through the windows in McCoy's office (link to full screencap). In that shot the table appears to be bearing two of the biobed readouts.

Looks like the grilled walkway from the transporter room continues through here.

This is terrific. Maybe it's survival equipment (or cleaning supplies) scattered through the ship?

TWOK doesn't get enough attention, to my mind. No I’m serious! TMP gets the lavish presentations and TWOK is always kind of the Little Engine Who Could.

Re: Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

First off, MauriceNavidad: Thanks for the corrections on the Weapon's Console graphics. I'd seen Rick's facebook post as well and made a mental note to correct the Intruder Sensor instance, I just hadn't gotten around to it yet. Thanks for pointing out the other problem though!

Also, I'm treating the hallway seen outside of McCoy's office as a separate hallway from the one near the transporter room. I realize that in actuality these sets were right beside each other, but for the sake of expansion, I'm going to locate sickbay farther away from the transporter room and make it a larger facility than what we see on film. It will have it's own "service corridor" (as I like to refer to it now), complete with the correct labels (Wow! What a great find!) on those modules to sell the fact that it's a cryogenic storage unit.

Anyway, I'm going to take some screenshots of the side of the transporter room service corridor we don't see in the movie...as soon as I finish filling it out, that is

And Basill: Good eye! I would've never noticed Scotty had a control panel as well on his chair. Seems odd that they kept throwing this panel around so much, especially for use on Kruge's ship. Seems like the set designers were getting a tad bit lazy, if you ask me. I wonder if the set dressers thought that some 30 years later we'd be observant enough to ever catch these little details.

Where did the fire figure into this?

Re: Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

A shame that service corridor went nowhere. It would have been interesting to be able to do a follow shot of Kirk, Spock, and Saavik walking down the service corridor and out into the main corridor, rather than as two separate shots.

Yeah, and I'm struggling to bring this service corridor to where it meets with the main corridor doorway they exit out of in the scene. They'll have to make an over-90 degree right turn and then hustle down an even longer stretch before they finally meet the main corridor.

Here's an image to better illustrate what I'm talking about (much of the main corridor has been hidden away in this cap). It would make their quick exit take much longer...

Applying some of the film's logic, we could say that none of the usual doors in and out of the transporter room were functioning? When Kirk attempts to take a turbolift near the transporter room, Spock says they're "inoperable below C-deck." It could follow that power to the automatic doors could have partially failed on that deck, as well.

Re: Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

Here's some views of the rest of the service corridor. This is all conjecture, as these parts of the corridor were never seen. I've simply populated it with blinkies and greebles, and added a door at the end until I figure out how to make Point A meet Point B, as seen in my schematic in an above post.







What do you think?

Except Kirk is leading them and how would he know?

Re: Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

You're also assuming that the T-Room is in its "set accurate" location. For all we know, the TWOK one may have been located at a 90 degree rotation, thus making the route Kirk took the most direct one. We never see anyone in TWOK using the standard T-Room door, do we?

 

[cardinal biggles]

Re: Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

That's true, we don't, so it's possible the service corridor could be the primary way in to that transporter room, and it does connect to a main corridor. In that case, maybe some field equipment lockers — tricorders, phasers, etc. could be along that hallway in addition to the blinkies and greebles?

I wondered the same thing, but then just figured there might be some visual cue that Kirk could see which the audience could not, especially since the main entrance (just left of the control booth) was never seen in that film. Perhaps it was some damage reaped during Khan's first attack, given how much was shattered and the limited time they had to fix even a fraction of it. Could it possibly be some structural damage that prohibited the door from fully opening? Or maybe someone posted an emergency sign on the door indicating life support was compromised in the radial corridor just beyond? The first few movies never made any indication that specific corridor sections could be closed off due to such circumstances, but I always presumed as much, given the nature of deep space. However, TUC did an excellent job of presenting this concept, both as a simple plot device and to help intensify the dramatic battle scenes. Then again, if it's the same transporter room they used to beam over to the Regula-One station, Kirk might have had even more of a heads up if he was aware of any entryway issue upon departure.

As far as how long it took them to traverse the "back alley" to any main corridor, I would just chalk that up to movie pacing versus real time portrayal, toss your coin, and pick your poison.

Re: Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors

Well, all things considered, for now I'm just leaving it as I have it, with the main entry-way we see in TMP, and the side corridor that, for now, leads to a simple door that doesn't open when the player character moves towards it. I may come back and fill in some details later.

I'm working on the waiting lounge as depicted in Shane Johnson's Mr. Scott's Guide To The Enterprise (it fits, but it's a tight squeeze to get back there!), and then I'm moving on from the Transporter Room.

I didn't mean it's the "same" on ship, only that it's the same set.

That image brings up an interesting question.

Are you going to put in toilets?

I always liked Shane Johnson's waiting lounge. Seems like something Probert would have approved of...

I feel all this pressure to. Because the number one question casual fans ask is "Will we finally see where they go to the bathroom??"
