Re: Starfleet Dress
It doesnt matter what ships are made of, shields seem to absorb 90% of ship damage, once shields are down we never see ships survive long.
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.

Unless they're armoured, like the Defiant class.

Re: Starfleet Dress
i still don't understand why we couldn't adapt the despensable armor systems from Voyager to personelle.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Re: Starfleet Dress
You mean the armour generators from Endgame?
Oh lets see why cant they be used for people...
It needs a power source powerful enough to produce armour panels.
It needs a replicator like system.
It needs enough raw material to turn into matter to form the armour, and before some genius points out it get created out of energy, where does the energy come from? A power sorce, what the most efficent form of power generation? Matter / antimatter reaction. And because of this guy callen Eienstein we have this equation E=MC2 which means that energy and matter are constant. So to create 4 pounds of body armour you need to burn 4 pounds of M/AM at the minimum.
So yeah. Kind of impossible for it to be used on people.

Re: Starfleet Dress
k,
I wasn't thinking about the replicable armor, i was hung up on the density of armor which could easily be avoided by making the device produce a less dense metal, but ya...
thanks for pointing out my stupidity Teaos.
lol.

Re: Starfleet Dress
As I mentioned in another thread, the security who responded with Kirk to McCoy breaking into Spock's quarters in ST III had cuirasses and helmets which were presumably proof against (at least) directed-energy sidearms. What happened to that?

At least in the case of TNG. the wishes of Gene Roddenberry? After that, er... continuity? They'd hold onto this in the face of better options while ignoring other stuff... it is what is is: TrekMikey wrote:As I mentioned in another thread, the security who responded with Kirk to McCoy breaking into Spock's quarters in ST III had cuirasses and helmets which were presumably proof against (at least) directed-energy sidearms.
