The same cloaking device that was destroyed along with the Defiant at the 2nd battle of Chin'toka? That cloaking device?
yes the federation have used cloaking technology before, glad you agree.
The phase cloak, apart from being banned by the treaty of Algeron, caused a fucking explosion in engineering. And you think they can run it for years?
they found out what went wrong on the pegasus and were able to avoid those problems when they installed it on the enterpise. The cloak worked fine on the enterprise. The federation is allowed to legally use the cloaking device as long as its with the romulans permission creating a loophole in the treaty of Algeron of sorts. The romulans let the federation use cloaking technology when it was in their best interest. If the romulans saw the empire as a threat they would agree to them using it on a covert mission like this. If they saw the dominion as a threat then I'm sure they'd see the empire as one too.
And not all the SW ships rampaging all over the ST galaxy in the meantime? It assumes a hell of a lot more than that!
well unlike star wars, star trek has discovered methods of propulsion that allow them to transport to other galaxies like the warp 10 technology, The Traveler's ability to accelerate ships, species 8472's ability to open up doorways to another galaxy. Before you try to impress me with your primitive knowledge of star trek, I already know what warp 10 did to them but that doesn't mean they can't have the ship automated.
1. If it appears that way on the surface, it's because you lack the ability to dig down.
2. The debate will get as complex as it needs to be. Star Wars fans tend to do more knocking down of strawmen that grasping at straws though.
3. The "average Joe" is usually wrong on these issues.
1) I don't lack any such ability. I knew of all of these arguments before I came here, most of them were brought up on the st forum and I had a general sense they were coming before they were even mentioned there as well.
2) Most of the debate is speculation of star wars technology in attempts to make it better than it really is and trying to doubt the krenim's abilities like being impervious to weapons from being outside of space-time in attempts to downplay it. You must be talking to yourselves here because you're not going to convince me with anything like that
3) and this is a star wars forum, yup I don't see any bias opinions here lol.
1. You fail at visual inspections.
2. BSc degrees must be very easy to acquire these days.
So, anyone taking bets as to how long Mr Broken Record here lasts?
1) na I win, visual inspections show that species 8472 destroys planets and borg ships. Star wars excuses are that they must be chain-reaciton based just liike every other weapon of power on star trek.
2) sounds like you don't have one heh, no surpise here. Star wars isn't geared toward people of intelligence. Just people that want to see a sci-fi action flick. It's no suprise that there aren't many bright ones here.
So, anyone taking bets as to how long Mr Broken Record here lasts?
hmm probably a week or two unless the moderators get too annoyed from me not conceding any of your shakey points. These threads are still pretty small compared to what I've made in the past.
