Oh, I was right. Not only are the mods rude and offensive, but also stupid. This is what the previous moderator had posted: Ah useless posturing and yabbering by the new trekkie retard. Which was in no way a debate or an argument, but just his personal opinion, and he stated so. Apparently I have br...

I wonder if all SW fans are such totally rude and offensive people, or just those who don't know anything about engineering and couldn't care less. Which is a pity because the author of the 'Star Trek and Engineering' page is actually an engineering graduate and knows what he's writing. I enjoyed th...

^^ whatever you like. This forum is too stupid for me to bother with any more.

Wow, I wonder how your forum can get any visitors at all.

Why are robots/AI in science fiction always the bad guys and trying to exterminate the humans? 'Hard' science fiction has often had good robots, eg. Asimov's Foundation series. There are a few exceptions: Star Wars has the 'good' C3PO and R2, but then there is the Droid army and General Grievous Sta...

The pathetic AI of the standard battle droids That actually has a reason. They don't want the droids to be 'too' smart, or else they will turn on their masters. Personally I think this could easily be pre-programmed into the droids, so that they can't harm their masters ( like Isaac Asimov's three ...

Invisible Hand's external glass bridge, or the lack of railings

True, I didn't think of that. And well, I retract my criticism of Gungans, but cant seem to edit my post. Isn't it possible to edit?

What is the function of Klingon armour. I just watched an episode of DS9 where a drunk Klingon killed himself by falling on his knife. We have also seen disruptor/phaser blasts getting through the armour pretty easily. Stormtrooper armour protects them against chemicals, biological agents, space vac...

If you think I'm being unfair, here are some good examples of SW engineering General Grievous' ship- Took massive damage, lost half the ship when it broke up and could still land on the planet surface. A prime example of what starships should be constructed like. Unlike the Executor , which collided...

You disgust me. Why would you even say this shit? It's irrelevant. If you think the rate per hour of engineering incompetence is similar, prove - the maths wouldn't even be hard. Don't be a coward and try to deflect criticism by saying 'omg i luv teh sw'. Hm, excuse me, where did I say that? Ok, le...

Recently I was reading the main site article Engineering and Star Trek . I was wondering whether we could have a similar article on SW engineering. While not as inane as Starfleet , they do have their flaws Imperial incompetence Death Star 1 This had a thermal exhaust port that was it's downfall, a ...

Ok, thx.

hi,

I am constantly getting 'You cannot search at this time' at odd times while using the search function.

Any idea what is causing this?

Does the cloaked ship resemble a submarine if we compare it to a real navy?

That wouldn't explain the Federation's incredible spinelessness in the face of repeated Romulan military crossings of the Neutral Zone and the attempted invasion of Vulcan. I think my Vulcan version of the US-Israel lobby is still the best explanation, short of simply assuming that 24th century men...

Isn't the phase cloak used for the super-torpedos in VOY Endgame?

Picard and co. land on Vulcan in the TNG episode 'The Gambit'. They don't show any adverse effects at all.

Vulcan has stronger gravity than Earth

Except we've seen humans on Vulcan, and no adverse effects due to greater gravity ever mentioned.

I wonder how a human could have a child with a Q. I mean what would the child be, half-omnipotent? Could he ( let's assume a 'he' since the gender neutrality of Q is completely ruined by this episode ) appear and disappear? Travel through time? Or only the Q part of him would and the human wouldn't?...

Tuvok in Voyager displays Vulcan behaviour- logic and lack of emotion, but super strength? Never. If I recall, Tuvok in Voyager was at least middle-aged, whereas Spock in TOS was relatively young. It is possible that Tuvok had less strength because he was considerably older as declining strength wi...

As the topic post. I couldn't think of anyone from DS9 to fit the category.

Battle of the robots! ( well Grievous isn't fully a robot, but still ) Here are some scenarios 1. Fistfight General Grievous has a small creature in his chest that is controlling his mechanical parts. Data could easily force open his chest plate ( like Obi-Wan ). and give that creature inside a punc...

According to many episodes, Vulcans are 3 times as strong as humans. So are Klingons. So are Jem'Hadar .Romulans share many Vulcan physical features, so they must be, as well. And I suppose there are many other races as well which are supposed to be physically 'superior' to humans. However whenever ...

What about pah-wraiths, they can take on the prophets.

Also many random powerful beings appearing only in 1 episode, for eg. the creature in TNG: Where silence has lease.
