PIC S3 Ships & Tech

Green was already taken by the Statue of Liberty...:lol:
Uniform was red, sooo…
Speaking of Lady Liberty, in a Sci-Fi series I read Earth’s capital moved to New York City. To celebrate Human peace, the Statue of Liberty was painted gold and her flame coated in diamonds. Would love to see such a thing again.

Have you seen the JJ Abrams TV show Fringe? A key plot point is that there's a parallel universe people frequently travel to and from, and in that universe the Statue of Liberty is preserved in its original unoxidised copper colour.

Lessons and techniques learned from Voyager, no doubt.

To be fair though, over 250 years prior some Earth ship encountered a giant pair of hair rollers that could cut away, replicate and replace whole sections of hull plating in seconds. Why not now?

And on top of that, they have integrated advanced Borg Tech and have Mass Produced Exo-Comps as seen in ST:Prodigy to help with repairs.

So getting repaired in the span of 45 minutes is believable.
 
Even though the Eleos impacted the top of the Titan there didn't appear to be any damage to Titan's saucer. Dialogue says shrapnel made it through the shields to tear the hull on Deck 11. That would put the damage on the engineering hull somewhere.

I guess the Titan can't warp away in reverse... :)
 
Or impulse...

Also..

The con officer is only thinking in 2 dimensions.

Had plenty of time to z axis down hard.

As Kirk said.. I don't think these kids can steer her..:p

LOL, yeah. All that impulse power and couldn't even dive out of the way. :whistle:

Or the Impulse Thrusters are really only good for linear acceleration forward and not designed or optimized for manuevering.

Look carefully at which direction all the impulse exhausts on the vast majority of StarFleet vessels are and the fact that they might have to rely on RCS units for dodging instead of Impulse power at STL.

They don't even really use Gravimetric drives other than basic Anti-Grav repulsors.

They sure as hell don't seem to mix Gravimetric Drives for omni-directional STL thrust vectoring & Impulse drives for linear acceleration like what the White Star did on Babylon 5, mix two types of STL drives for superior acceleration and manueverability.

We know for sure that "The Borg" uses some form of Gravimetric Drive for omni-directional manuevering of their vessels, no known traditional impulse drives are used.

They probably don't find it worthwhile to have Impulse drives when Gravimetric Drive can do the same thing and provide omni-directional manueverability.
