[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] On the bridge were Riker, Troi, Worf, Data, and extra man at tactical, and another one or two people at the portside stations. When the helm console shorted, the helmswoman was thrown backwards. The officers at the starboardside stations helped move her out of the way and (presumably to Sickbay). The aft station officers likewise did the same for whomever fell back there. It was not a bad choice to have Troi take the helm. She had just passed her bridge officer certification test a year or so earlier. She was a full commander. She knows the basics of flight control, and Riker wasn't planning on special maneuvers. He wanted to retreat to a safe distance and (later) move the saucer away from the stardrive section. Now, the movie made the crash seem like Troi's fault. I have also read the novelization of Generations, and there it is not Troi's fault. The Enterprise had not made it that far away from Veridian III. When the core breached, the shockwave damaged the saucer's attitude control and thrusters. This caused the saucer to be picked up by the planet's gravity well and be brought crashing down to the surface. Watching Generations now, I can see that this was attempted to be conveyed in the movie with lines like "Rerouting lateral thrusters" and "Attitude control offline." The movie just didn't make it clear enough, plus Veridian III disappeared during the separation sequence and parts of the battle sequence. In short, the crash was no one's fault and could not be prevented, in my opinion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
