Re: Romulans....what were they doing?
It would be far more effecient to simply put warp drives on the BoPs instead of having one ship run around and reposition several others. Particularly given that they're patroling interstellar space.

Personally, I agree with the concesus, but I thought I'd throw that out there. It was interesting reading, (didn't buy it, but interesting never the less).

They look like Phyllis Diller,

Re: Romulans....what were they doing?
Oh, gawd.......in a fan fic I read (I THINK fanfic.net but I could be wrong). It was supposed to have taken place shortly after The Balance of Terror. Starfleet sent Enterprise to investigate how the "impulse ship" got there anyway. Enterprise ended up stumbling across a "mothership" (for lack of a better term) that launched BoPs like an aircraft carrier. Had 11 ships left, was able to carry twelve (minus the one from BoT). The thing was basically like a big warp engine with a support crew. Enterprise ended up triggering some kind of anomoly and the thing was destroyed.

*Groans* Bloody technobabble solutions. Plus the fact that E-nil had trouble with one BoP in Balance of Terror. How's she expected to stop a dozen of them?Mark wrote:Oh, gawd.......in a fan fic I read (I THINK fanfic.net but I could be wrong).

So someone wrote a whole fanfic based on completely misinterpreting Scotty's quote in BoT?Mark wrote:Oh, gawd.......in a fan fic I read (I THINK fanfic.net but I could be wrong).

Yeah, but they're usually the staff writers, not the fans.Rochey wrote:Hey, people have written stupider things.

Re: Romulans....what were they doing?
Hey, the writers were fans at one point, right?
Then again, looking at ENT I'm not so sure....

No, if they were then they would have seen the show before they started writing it.
