Re: What starship would you least like to captain?

I would go completely batty if I was placed in command of an Oberth-class science vessel. It is small, fragile, and damn near useless in any kind of a crisis situation. But then, I'm not a scientist so I'm sure I wouldn't be able to appriciate it's good points. If there are any. Sorry Oberth fans, t...

Re: Saucer Seperation

Very true about being a sitting duck. With only impulse power, they couldn't really be tactically significant in combat, as anything other than a distraction (Riker took a HUGE change in BoBW 2) with civilians on board. I would guess they most likely couldn't fully power their shield and fire phaser...

Re: Saucer Seperation

As I recall reading, the superstructure could only handle the stress of a half dozen or so seperations. BUT again, the TNG tech manual isn't cannon, but I can kinda see the logic behind it. Even with the SIF at full these are to large masses which are "impacting" together, granted in a slo...

Hand Phasers

Has anybody else ever wondered why hand phasers in TNG appear to be less powerful than from TOS. You routinely see people survive phaser wounds which were meant to kill them in TNG, DS9, and VOY....but if you got hit with a kill shot in TOS, you were done. In fact, most of the time people were disin...

Re: Saucer Seperation

You know, once upon a time I thought this was the coolist thing that I'd ever seen. I even understood that by seperating the Saucer Section you open up an aft torpedeo bay on the Saucer and an additional phaser array on the Star Drive. Why wouldn't they do it all the time? It also occured to me that...

Re: How Would You Have Written Enterprise's Final Episode

Good point. I think a six episode story run ending with the hand shake in the final episode would have done it appropriate justice. That way we could have explored things a bit.

Re: What If - STIV

Gang.....everybody always considers Earth as the Heart of the Federation. But really, while losing Earth would be a devistatiting loss, I seriously doubt the Federation would fall apart. By this time the Federation consists of way to many member worlds to let the loss of even the "capital"...

Ok, lets say, just for arguments sake, that... Q gave him an EMH for the day. Or a HAZMAT/enviroment suit. Wait, they had those. Something tells me that didn't work, or else Janeway would have used them in the episode. Not nessessarily. How often does Janeway get to run around the ship outfitted li...

Re: Question about Wolf 359

Have to wonder how that ship survived, when you consider that the threat was so great, Riker was willing to ram the cube with the E-D to try and stop them. She must have been dead in space, or I would have assumed the Captain be willing to do ANYTHING to stop the Borg, just like Riker. Ram the cube,...

Re:

I suppose you have a point. But weapons progress with armour, so unless weapons technology became stagnant it should still be structurally fragile. I have to agree with Rochey. Since TOS, Treknology hasn't really advanced THAT much over the years. Especially since in the same battle are a couple of...

Re: How Would You Have Written Enterprise's Final Episode

I would have used that last episode to close up some of the continuity gaps. Maybe make a vauge reference to this new "Laser" technology that SHOULD will be way more energy efficient than these old fashioned "phase" weapons, maybe mentioning it would take around a hundred years t...

Prometheus Class

Trouble spots and "Hot" zones

What can I say? I fell in love with this ship as soon as a saw my first "Multi-Vector Assault Mode"
