Even if not cutting out R&D ideas, helpful hints on saying "This is a quick job here, but this one just dig in because its going to be finished by your grand kids" would make a huge difference.

Ideas on how to better handle infrastructure ect.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I like that the Human v Non-Human is already better in balance for Starfleet.

A two hundred year advanced mining ship that planned for the attack.

Still a mining ship which shows them how far behind they could end up if they don't push onwards.

I think the most helpful; thing for the Federation will be just being made aware of the dangers out there. We should avoid the post TOS to TNG level of stupidity we see in a lot of their policies.

But it is JUST a mining ship, and the fleet was the Federation best.

It is possible that a giant earth-mover in open pit mining today could lay havoc to a bunch of WW1 tanks... but that would probably have pushed the military to make better tanks faster than they did.

Lets put it this way, a whole army of musket men could do nearly nothing to a modern armored limo.

Using the ship analogy, a modern cargo container ship outfitted with modern naval guns could easily handle a ship of the line from the 1820's. Same difference.

I had little to no problem with Nero's ship doing that much damage. It was, what, 130- years or so more advanced?

My bad, I guess it would be like a modern cargo ship vs a ship of the line from 1880. Still a one-sided affair with modern weapons.

Well, I could be off on the numbers, admittedly.

Nah, 2389 - 2258 = 131 years.
