The Stargazer was lost a long time before the start of TNG. Sounds to me like an extended “conflict” without any major effects on the Federation...
Be more specific. It was mentioned that the Evora were being made allies at a time the Federation desperately needed them. You don’t typically...
He does that by his authority as captain of the flagship. He commanded fleets during the Klingon Civil War and the Borg attack on Earth and he...
It’s the #1 definition. Adding an entire people under the aegis of the Federation is a not a small matter.
It’s the flagship. There’s a war going on. In my head canon it was leading the First Fleet on the main front or defending the Federation core.
Worse. For me the best Trek was in the years shortly after his leaving it. It was the perfect alchemy of both Roddenberry and Berman/Piller. I...
A reminder that we’re continuing our Trek/sci-fi/everything zoom discussions this Saturday, from 9-11 PM BST (that’s 4-6 PM EDT in the US), link...
A reminder that we’re back with another Trek/sci-fi/everything zoom discussion this Saturday, from 9-11 PM BST (that’s 4-6 PM EDT in the US). All...
I mean that’s why I said “starships are traveling at thousands of miles a second, with firing ranges thousands of miles away,” to which you...
I don’t think the way we talk about ship design makes sense from a realistic perspective. Starships are traveling at thousands of miles a second,...
No? The navigational deflector dish pushes everything out of the path of the ship precisely because of how dangerous even individual particles are...
That’s super convenient that the EM fields for those massive collectors are that precise. These ships are traveling at 1/4 the speed of light at...
You don’t need Bussard collectors to make warp work. But if you’re using them, they should not be placed where they might shred the hull of the...
I’m glad it was corrupted. Those Bussard collectors don’t make a lick of sense. They’re cartoonishly big and they’re pulling in stellar matter...
With DSC back this week (with two-episodes and something different this season), we’re continuing our Trek/sci-fi/everything zoom discussions this...
Then they shouldn’t have done a story they couldn’t properly dramatize. The fact that they were taking it on naturally created an expectation. Or...
It doesn’t make sense for the Frankenstein fleet to be that way by design. If Starfleet meant to create a Lego fleet, the esthetics of the ships...
Yeah, I was hoping we’d get a handful of new Federation ships, and maybe at least one new Klingon or especially Romulan ship—I mean their entire...
Maybe the Constitutions and Ambassadors were left to guard the vast expanses of the Federation while huge numbers of others fought the battles....
