Re: Borg vs. ISD
Fuck off, moron. You claimed 'at or near c', based on no evidence because you took ages to dig around MA to find it. Turns out whole episodes revolve around not-relativistic impulse speeds. Yes because I was looking for Mass-Lightening effects and there connections with the drive systems in ST. Not...

Re: Borg vs. ISD
Anyone who thinks ST shuttles travel at .75c is a literal moron and probably doesn't even understand how 'speed' works in space. Just imagine someone buying a car with a '150km/h' engine. Put it in another car - guaranteed 150km/h! 8) Ah I see your problem now. Except that is not what I was saying ...

Re: Borg vs. ISD
No, that's an example of mass-lightening, which is well known. Your claim they travel 'at or near c' isn't supported by that example. Ok further information: A phenomenon caused when an object is partially encased in a subspace field, thus altering the gravitational constant of the encased portion ...

Re: Borg vs. ISD
Like when? In 2369, Deep Space 9 Chief of Operations Miles O'Brien was able to modify the subspace field output of the station's deflector generators enough to create a low-level subspace field around the station. This had the effect of reducing the station's inertial mass enough to allow the stati...

Re: Why do people think Voyager isn't very good?
As very good as "Latent Image" was in terms of acting, writing, and directing, I can understand the general complaint of the infamous, debilitating Reset Button and how somewhat self-contained "Latent Image" was - what if the character of Ahni Jetal was a series regular for seve...

Re: Borg vs. ISD
Further, while I certainly can agree that damaging the ISD will make things easier, all a cube would really need to do is just ram the ISD and let simple physics overwhelm the shields. We know the ISD can take a beating, but when you get a Borg ship travelling at a good fraction of c, then hitting ...

Re: Borg vs. ISD
How many borg have boarded? Is it a small squad like in First Contact that has no support and needs plenty of time to build up strength, or did they crash a sphere into the ISD and have a large number of drones? Interesting statement could they just crash their cubes into a ISD and then walk across...

Alpha Centauri, I can't remember which episode it was in I think one of the ToC, Metamorphosis or the episode where they travel back in time to Earth. (so considering it was ToC it maybe of lesser canon)Junghalli wrote:Which world was this, just out of curiousity?

Re: Trek Fleet counts
I agree that the show generally does present the Federation's core as being the region of Earth. On the other hand, there are apparently over 150 member planets and we've never seen most of them, so we really don't know all that much about what the Federation looks like; there's room for alternate ...

Re: Can Federation destroy Death Stars
It's actually surprisingly easy and simple, it'll go like this: 1.Ent-D/Ent-nil/Voyager/NX-Ent happen upon Death Star. Death Star fires on ST ships, but character shields hold at 100% since only Writers Fiat Torpedos and Executive Order Beamcannons can penetrate them and the SW ones have already al...

Re: What if the Enterprise wasn't alone in First Contact?
3) The Borg invade only the second ship while their sphere is destroyed. The Enterprise takes up a reciprocal position to destroy the other ship while protecting the Phoenix, IF it finds out about the Borg incursion. Either the Borg assimilate the second vessel much faster without Picard to head th...

Re: An idea about Ambassador-class starships . . .
So the Galaxy Class was built pretty much as a large survey/explorer vessel. It's built powerful like a battleship In my opinion the Galaxy Class ships are not Battleships, have have a few weapons yes but are in no way made for warfare. I think a better analogy would be a Coast Guard ship. They are...

Re: Why do people think Voyager isn't very good?
According to Ex Astris, a total of 33 crewmen died, and 93 torpedoes were fired. In fairness, couldn't they have got the material to replicate torpedoes along the way? I don't recall them ever actually saying that, but still. Did it happen to mention how many shuttles were lost in the series? Other...

Yes, it's not like the Federation uses completely different ship designs, speaks a different language and has quite a different disposition towards aliens. Nope, Gorn are dumb and primitive so all humanoids are the same for them. Again, if you can only make your point by making the Gorn stupider th...

Re: Trek Fleet counts
The problem is assuming the Federation is "centered" on Earth. No maps (canonical or otherwise) place Earth at the geographical center of the Federation, but rather quite close to the border with the Romulan and Cardassian (and possibly the Klingon) empires. It's actually a bit like the U...

Concerning the Gorn, how do we know, that they didn't mark the planet as their territory and the Feds were just too dumb (or culturally/physiologically different) to notice it? To add to this recent "evidence" shows that Gorn territory boarders Klingon Space. Given that Klingons attack fi...
