Yeah, I've been having some hardware problems myself. :wink:

So...Galors are like Hitler. They can inspire the will to win, but can't really win.

Bit late to the topic, but i like the galor alot. They are functional, practical, cost effective. They are built in the shape of the Cardassian union. They pack a hellova punch for their size.

True enough, they are the perfect ship for the Cardis.

I like how they bucked the traditional, two nacelles in the shape of a tube Trek design trend. One of the reasons I love the early Vulcan ship designs. The Halo is so beautiful.

While the ring nacelle looks cool it seems to be even more at risk than the standard configuration.

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.

Maybe, maybe not. Is the ring one solid piece or do the different sections act apart? If the ring works by section it would be a much more reliable system. Knock out a link but the other dozen or so take over. Just a thought.

Maybe but I imagin that knocking out a link would knock the whole thing out.

Being its connected at two sides there is also a chance that knocking out one link would simply cause a bypass.

Did we ever see one get damaged in ENT? I didnt pay close enough attention on the count of ENT sucking so much.

Could it still warp? If not I imagin it would be hard to fix in the middle of space.
