What ever happened to that sweet 1936 Ford pickup Voyager found in The 37's? Did they just keep it in the cargo bay and they took it for spins on planets whenever they had some downtime? Could one drive it on the holodeck? Did they donate it to a museum when they came back?
Also, props to Ford engineering that a car floating through space for a few hundred years just starts right away. Who knew they used vacuum-hard oil and fuel back then? If it had been wrecked it would have been the ultimate Vice Grip Garage episode. "A guy should probably check the sparkulator, and the oil has probably boiled off in the vacuum. But the oilcheckometerstick 3000 is rusted shut, so I'll just pretend it's all fine."

Now watching Tom Paris and Chakotay spinning that truck around on a planet I would much prefer to watch over Picard doing it.
 
Somehow I doubt Nu Trek would have something like Broccoli discussing physics with a hologram of Albert Einstein.

Being on the TOS bridge alone would be worth it.
Still hope that someone just kinda sorta accidentally leaks the Stage 9 Enterprise D stuff. Or someone completes the Elite Force Voyager simulation (and adds the Constitution class). Wouldn't mind walking through the NX Enterprise, either, I always liked that industrial submarine-in-space-design.
The Enterprise D in Stage 9 looks so damn big. The shuttle bay alone is enormous.

isn't their last release before the c&d around somewhere? that's why you don't advertise stuff like that till it's finished, almost impossible to put the cat back in the bag once it's out there.
as for size, if VR tought me anything it can be deceiving, even if you go by exact measurements. but the D really was XBOX HUEG. I mean just look how long the bridge looks (although I'm not sure if ubisoft used exact measurements to begin with).


there's hope once nutrek finally bombs for good they stop giving a fuck about it and the people in charge get replaced (or maybe already have now that everything's back in one company) and we get a proper vr tour.

prolly scrapped or dumped. why bother keeping it around when you can just replicate one?

Let us all just agree that Tom Paris used it to provide some parts for the Delta Flyer.

Because you know he would.

Hell, Broccoli does holographic controls right, unlike Nu Trek.

The last time that nuTrek wrote a Broccoli character, it was in the Short Trek about the tribbles. If they ever bring Broccoli in the JL spin-off, they will have Stewart laughing at him and calling him an incel.

the irony is they turned around and did the orville, and even got official support iirc.
also try star trek bridge crew if you haven't.

The production liked it so much that one crewmember said that they might use it to help visualize the shots in future episodes.

Doctor did had a backup copy of himself but it was lost in the "Living Witness." Tom and Harry had tried to program a replacement doctor early in the series but were unsuccessful. In universe reasons, Voyager's crew could only tolerate one Doctor with his personality. Don't have hardware or power outside of holodecks to project multiple photonic beings for long durations. Thou it's just me speculating on it.

The Doc has no copy of his programm, this was mainly done (I think) cause otherwise, he'd be essentially immortal and the worst that could happen would be that his portable transmitter gets lost. I think it was explained with his programm being so huge and complex, that making copies wasn't possible. The complexity and vulnerability of his programm were mentioned a couple of times and would require workarounds every now and then. I mean, there was also an episode with a holographic engineering programm of some sort, that they overwrote to make more room for their Doctor.
That's why that one episode about the Doctor's safety copy winding up in a museum in the far future was kind of criticised, since it went against established canon that the programm can't be copied and that no safety copy existed.

Knowing Paris, I'd assume the Ford (or what is left of it) is in his quarters, most likely transformed into a bed.

Well that would explain Seven's line about the entire deck knowing when Tom & Torres were screwing.

(Because the shocks would be squeaking.)

Janeway keeps ignoring Harry Kim's request to move to quarters away from the other side of their wall because he's too embarrassed to admit the reason.

He tries to drown out the sounds by playing the oboe, but he can't read the notes propperly over tears running down his face as his envy takes over.
