Movie - Star Trek Insurrection
The enterprise is traversing the briar patch, to make contact with the federation council about the Baku and plans to relocate them to another planet
In pursuit are the Son'a, who hail the enterprise, then fires a photon torpedo at it.
So my questions are:
1) Why didn't the ship stop dead in it's tracks when the bridge officer spoke to Commander RIker? cause we all know, talking to bridge officers in star trek (online) means ships decloak and stop immediately.
2) How, when under fire, did they manage to go to full impulse? cause we all know, ships
can't go to full impulse when under attack!

:D

1) Riker disabled that option in the options menu
2) Evasive maneuvers and Deuterium tanks. Duh.
Lol, do joysticks work with STO?
You may have a point...La forge did say "We're burning deuterium down here!", heh
But I've gotten used to it and have come to rely on it. But, you are correct. The option to turn it off is there.
Took me two years to find that option, heh;)
i wonder how many still dont realise you can turn of the shield ring quadrants during combat?
Wait why would you want to do that? It's good to know what side of a ship is weakest!
As for whether joysticks work in STO - they do but they are over sensitive and you need a joy2key mapping software to do the key/button assignments.
An Xbox controller is much easier to use actually.
I personally quite enjoy not seeing the shields around my ship, has a movie feel to it, but for telling which side is weakest look at your ship avatar :P
However the alternative is:
If you fly past several sector borders, the popups will stack up. Upon reaching your destination, if you click the pop up on the screen to travel, it will actually take you all the way back to the first sector you passed.
The on/off option in the options menu is simply trading one bad option for another.
Two reasons
1) more trek feeling and just looks pretty!
2) You still get that in your HUD, and you want to be checking that for knowing what buffs/Debuffs your traget has. So it just gets you into that habit which helps your over all skills.
Maybe they had the same magical systems that Voyager did and just... replicated a new one? or something like that?
Maybe he just created an illusion to make it look that way so everyone would get off his back.
He just thought he did.
All of the timelines since then are just the product of his Irumodic syndrome addled brain dreaming up conflicting fantasies.
Then there is the corollary: "When there are no main characters on the ship, the ship goes boom."
Note how in Generations, the Enterprise-D's stardrive section exploded mere seconds after all of the main cast evacuated from it?
1.Yes joysticks work with STO.
2.Because it is the Enterprise shouldn't that be the reason why it can do anything. Also just think about the Riker maneuver I wish it was in STO.
The obvious answer is someone towed them.
You think they'd build a space navy without space tugboats?
It may take a couple of weeks to get into place and hooked up, but that beats the decades or centuries of limping along at impulse.
Don't get me started on the idiocy surrounding the Engineering department of the Enterprise(s) in the TNG movies....
I'd like to see a runabout tow a cruiser at warp, though.
Auxillary warp cores which there was a famous ship that had one in canon
In MSDs and sketsches only. Whenever they somehow "lost" their core, the famous ship's crew suddenly forgot all about their auxillary warp core...
