Vanguard - Starbase 47
Is Vanguard basically the DS9 of the 23rd century, but with some subtle differences?

Re: Vanguard - Starbase 47
I'm wondering where this line of questioning is going to go...
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Re: Vanguard - Starbase 47
Should it please the court I wish to demonstrate that the series of books written about the station provide more than enough information to draw one's own conclusion.Bryan Moore wrote:I'm wondering where this line of questioning is going to go...

Or, you know, be completely moot as it regards an author's own invention...

Re: Vanguard - Starbase 47
I actually have never read any of those books... were they any good?

They look nothing alike. They are from different time periods. As far as I know there are no wormholes or a species protected by near God like entities.Meste17 wrote:Is Vanguard basically the DS9 of the 23rd century, but with some subtle differences?
So maybe you can be specific.

I'm guessing, something like...Bryan Moore wrote:I'm wondering where this line of questioning is going to go...
"Could you refit Deep Space Nine with a warp drive and then use it as a giant long range shuttlecraft? If the giant shuttle had a Captain, what race do you think he would be? Would the Federation use the giant shuttle on Betazoid, or Vulcan?"

So then Vanguard isn't like DS9? What about K- 7?Mikey wrote:Graham Kennedy wrote:I'm guessing, something like...Bryan Moore wrote:I'm wondering where this line of questioning is going to go...

Re: Vanguard - Starbase 47
DS9 is obviously the best choice for quantum slip stream.
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.

Hey now, be nice. At least he(?) generates a little Trek-related activity on the board.

Weren't bad, although more than one character I kinda wanted to smack upside the head.
