Now, now, all he was really trying to do was confuse the enemy with technobabble. :wtf:

Hey, I just recalled the Doctor's dreams and the Photonic Cannon. Even holograms do it!

:roll: True, but In my Fed version, the Intrepid Class has been reduced to the quita of Science/Exploration, as has the Einstein, Long, Premiere, and Survival. The Long and Survival almost exclusively for Science and Exploration. The long is, comperable to the Galexy class, but much more elegant. And the Survival is designed to, as the name implies, survive years of deepspace exploration without contact with other federation ships.

So I take it your not going to attempt to justify or otherwise explain the rest of your made up "advances"?

Can we develop the Federation Battlestar now? Galactica Class of course. And the first Federation Star Destroyer??? We'd need to rename it into something less ominous though, like the Peacekeeper class???

So your replacing a perfectly good explorer class since its not pretty enough...

And the GCS can oretty much do the job you discribed the Survival doing...
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.

Uhura was wondering what the price of a Tribble was. Kirk makes a joke about how much invested in Spock's training and Spock quotes the figure-or at least tries to. Mudd felt he'd get rich with his scheme in 'Mudd's Women'. Heck, the existence of him and Cyrano Jones almost cements that there was a viable economy in the TOS era.

Scotty bought a boat in STV/VI, not sure which.

Yeah, the existence of a capitalistic economy in the TOS era is pretty much verified.

What other "advances" need justification?

and to Teos, I'm replacing the Galexy Class b/c I'm not a big fan, if you don't want to do it in your idea of how the fed should be, i'm not forcing it upon you.

Your completely fabricated weapons and warp drive for one. You essentially pulled a bunch of stuff out of your arse and passed it off as legitimate.

You're joking right.
The whole show was fabricated.
As for the Wepons, the only wepon i came up with without any good ligitamite background is the D-Class, and i figured what the hell, why not give the Federation an Ace in the whole.
As for warp drive, I didn't like the TNG scale, I know many people didn't like the TNG scale, so i developed a new warp scale, and since i was already fabricating a new warp field b/c of the restrictions of the TNG scale, i thought why not make it faster. so at Warp 10 one is traveling at 1LY per hour.
