@Ahriman238 Mostly a question of taste. I like the dilemma more than the do it way X or be fucked. I remember a good SG episode, where the asgard (I guess) had the possibility to save a planet, but would not do it, because it would violate their treaty with the goa'uld. That's the other side of the ...

Yeah, transporters is a nice try. But as a matter of fact, they are systems consisting of several "technology". Ultra advanced computers, the "Heisenberg compensator", ultra advanced sensors etc. Their medical applications alone are the hell. Beaming a tumor out of the patient. (...

@Destructionator XIII This isn't necessarily true. Yes, but quite likely if you consider, that the technology needs to be developed. Also, efficiency doesn't necessarily mean less energy is used. Yes, but it reduces the number non the less. A surprisingly big energy eater is lighting. We might burn ...

@avatarxprime However, ST races tend not to use projectile weaponry. We've seen that the Borg don't adapt to being punched in the face or having a mek'leth drawn on them, yet no one among the major AQ powers has arrived at the conclusion of using slug throwers against them. Well, I guess they would ...

@Darth Tedious For what would they use all this energy? They would be burning fuel for the sake of burning fuel? Most of the systems won't be on max. capacity. Then I guess some will even be shut down for repairs/checks. So the only systems which would be really running (if the SD is orbeting a plan...

@Destructionator XIII Interestingly, there are roads in Trek cities wide enough for ground cars, as well as the bridge in san fran, but we never see any traffic. I wonder what they use them for. Is it just historical stuff still maintained? Not so much. Consider the fact, that teleporters were not a...

@bilateralrope This keeps building until it has sucked most of the fluid down a black hole. Ähm, no. There are other forces at work two, you know? Earth is also not beeing reduced to a tennis ball by gravity. @avatarxprime They can claw up some individual Replicators in infantry level combat, but an...

@Ahriman238 The real cincher for me was "Dear Doctor" where Archer, the only captain not bound by the Prime Directive, chooses to stand back and let an ancient alien culture die out for... no real reason. Well, instead of rewriting their DNA. If they really died out is not said. Think of s...

Wouldn't using mind tricks to get sex be sexual assault? I would hardly call that consensual sex. It would be rape. If you want to push it, it would be even worse than that. You are totally breaking the will of the other person. The force use alone(mind control) would be a crime on the level of sex...

Would be quite interesting, if the culture would not have so much "more than ridiculous technology". All the advantages the empire (or in StarTrek the borg) would have, can be played because of this. (Ah well, the borg could work, if let them deploy tactics never deployed and allow them th...

@Whiskey144 TNG =/= VOY. The situation in TNG is vastly different from the one in Voyager, especially considering the additional circumstances WRT the Borg/8472 conflict, and the induction of a former Borg drone into Voyager's crew. Has no impact on the firepower of a single borg ship. I see no math...

I did not want to do the math, but alright. How many orders of magnitude would you consider to be 'a lot'? If they were hit by debris, we would need to estimate the speed the depris was flying with. We see the cubes accelerating for about a second before the planet explodes. Even if we just assume 1...

Like all your other explanations, it is a complete fabrication. We see the beam immediately interact with the planet itself. No, we do not. The first part is not shown. So there is still everything possible. Also note the visible asteroids from 0:52. Alright. I missed those in the last shot. Does n...

@Whiskey144 We saw no such aftermath in the case of the S8472 blast.......in fact, we didn't see any aftermath at all. Hence, we can only assume that the minimum firepower of the S8472 bioship cluster is 5E16 megatons, while the lone DS1 had a superlaser blast of 1E22 megatons. As you could easy cla...

@Whiskey144 Did you even bother to actually read them both? It clearly said that the DS1 would require around 1E22 megatons to get the results we saw on-screen. In contrast, '8472's bioship-cluster-thing would require around 5E16 megatons (that's seven orders of magnitude LESS you dimwit) to blow up...

@Whiskey144 What are your two links saying? Nothing. Right. (And as a matter of fact, they are both scaled the same in your link) The formula used is a very, very large approximation. To even get close to something precise you would need to run a simulation. The calcualtion would be correct for one ...

@Darth Tedious Concession of the point accepted. What exactly were you trying to point out? That most off the "high end effects" do lack explaination or try to explain it into a manner which has nothing to do with real physics. Thats why you mostly do not try to elaborate such things, beca...

@Darth Tedious Taking a step back, all this was brought up when I called you on your false claim that there is as little information about the DS as there is about S8472. Care to concede that point? Yes, I elaborated a bit. But still you have shown no physical basis on how the death star is supposed...

@Darth Tedious I never asked you to show that the DS is fusion based- You just called me a lair for telling so. And you know as well as I do, that there are several contradicting canonical sources. I mean if you go for the novels refering to the films you will end up with: "the liberated energy...

@Whiskey144 First off, PROVIDE A SOURCE for your quote. Otherwise, I think it's safe to assume that you just MADE SHIT UP. The QUOTE WAS ABOVE this sentance. @Darth Tedious Mercenario, cherry-picking quotes from non-canon sources is one thing. Yeah. Darth Tedious:Mercenario show me were it says fusi...

@Darth Tedious Little is actually known about the details of the highly classified reactor design, but we do know that it is a massive fusion reactor fed by stellar fuel bottles that line the periphery of the main reactor chamber. Mhm, fusion you see. Hypermatter does say as much as sliberischbisch....

@Darth Tedious Yeah, a blue print is explaining the physical details. Ahm, no. So yeah, all we know about the deathstar is: http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/death-star4.htm Several big lasers focues into one laser, but not acting like a Laser power by a fusion reactor with the energy output of...

Excuse me? TBH, I haven't got a god damn clue what you're saying here. Because around this board, Darkstar, the common Internet handle that RSA goes by, is known to be a fucking liar. As a result, every god damn thing on his website is fucking suspect! My guess: He would say the same about this sid...

I'm going to be brutally honest here, and say straight up that you're an idiot for presenting things from Robert Scott Anderson's site, as the man is known to be a liar and spin-doctor, who is obsessed with the STvsSW debate to the point of arguing about canon with the people who decide canon for S...

@Darth Tedious I said I could arguee for that point, that does not mean I think it should be that way. There is a huge differance. Wow, really? Actually using the "my argument is too intelligent for everyone here" line? No, actually not. It is just nobody intelligent interested, as it seem...
