Episodes Where Piloting Matters

[Honorable Ensign]

I was just thinking recently how static Star Trek ships seem sometime. Besides some shaking and console explosions, you often don't really get a good idea of a ship's manuoevers besides a quickly-rattled-off formation code.

Can anyway think of some episodes where impressive ship-flying does indeed play an important role--and we actually see it?

"Relics" comes to mind with the Enterprise escaping the Dyson Sphere. Nog does a cool loop-the-loop with the Defiant in "What You Leave Behind". The Enterprise-D carefully maneuvering through the asteroid field in "Booby Trap" and through pockets of null-space in "The Outcast". Paris did some impressive flying in the Delta Flyer. The sling-shot effect in TOS and The Voyage Home probably also qualifies.

The Expanse: Travis does an up and over to get behind the pursuing Klingon ship so they can get the drop on Duras. Pretty cool.

Terra Prime: Travis also does some fancy piloting to approach Mars behind a comet so they can sneak up on the bad guys.

Singularity: Archer pilots the ship out of the asteroid field guided by T'Pol's instructions.

You beat me to it, JiNX. That move in The Expanse is so very cool, especially the part where they actually fly through the debris.
