Why does Shon seem so happy? (spoiler)

kamiyama317kamiyama317 Member Posts: 1,295 Arc User
At the end of the new FE, Shon seems absolutely content that he blew up the Federation's flagship and killed his entire crew. At the least I would expect him to be depressed, maybe even shed a tear or two. He just seems 100% content with the fact that he killed everyone on his ship... and it's weird.

I think he is psychotic.

    He only blew up the Aquarius (the Enterprise's captain's yacht) which he was flying alone.:rolleyes:

    1. It was just the Aquarius.
    2. only him on board.
    3. even if it was the Enterprise itself, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few ~ 2500 Starfleet officers to save a planet is a sacrifice worth making.

    Well now I don't understand how a yacht could blow up big enough to destroy a planet killer, but whatever. Even if it's shields were down you would think it would just go up like a puff of smoke against it's hull.

    He wasn't flying against the hull but straight into the main emitter. And even a yacht has a warp core that can breach harder than a bunch of photon torpedoes.

    Seriously, did you actually play the mission?

    And an Aquarius is a bit more than a yacht, it is a T5 starship in its own right...

    This....

    It was clearly a reference to Pike sacrificing himself to destroy a Planetkiller. The Aquarius is merely a "Shuttle" and not the Enterprise itself.

    It's still a little ship. I think a single phaser blast from my ship would have done more damage.

    Worst one in existence.:D Cryptic-acknowledged.
    It would have been better as shuttle sized craft just like the Tal'kyr.

    And your phaser blast would have exploded on the inside of the planet killer too?:rolleyes:

    Well if there's a hole big enough to fly a ship in, I assume a phaser beam could be fired inside too. After all it's how we killed the other planet killer, right?

    Which one? The Doomsday Machine was damaged by a Klingon shuttle flying in its mouth and exploding there and then finished off with multiple Hargh'Peng torpedoes. Nothing beats internal explosions. It's one of the golden rules of science fiction. Even the Death Star was destroyed like that. Small opening in that you insert explosives.

    They missed a perfect chance to kill a cardboard Starfleet Officer.

    And Shon has no personality or Character. He is like Queen Armadillo from Phantom Menace. He can't be happy. He is either monotone or slighty angry.

    On a seriuos note, I thought he was piloting the Aquarius solo and Enterprise F was where ever he left it when he launched?

    Hopefully they update the Enterpise F modle a little with a new ship on its back, so it can stand out a little in a sea of Odysseys.

    But knowing anything in Trek when you blow up a ship, just replace it with the same exact ship.

    So Cryptic break the cycle, give the Enterprise F it's own unique 2nd ship, don't Defiant, Delta Flyer, or Enterprise A it.

    He crashed the Aquarius, yes. He seems positively gleeful about it because, let's face it: Ramming Speed kills are awesome.

    And yet this thread started with the complaint that he was so happy at the end.

    I'm thinking that he got replaced by the Undine when they realised they could not stop the impact, there was a delay by the transporter officer beaming him back so there could have been time, if he has then the captain of the federation flagship is a traitor/infiltrator :eek:

    Destroying a little ship, that can be rebuilt, to save a planet and all the people on there. Can't see anything to be happy about in that success /sarcasm.

    Although it would have been funny if he went on the Aquarius and sent the Enterprise in on remote with all hands. :eek:

    Maybe that's what happend in the mirror universe, and why we don't see Mirrior Enterprise.

    Pike didn't blow up the doomsday machine. Pike went back to Taris IV to live out the rest of his life as an illusion (Which I agree with Spock was more fitting). Kirk and Scotty got the Constellation up and going and piloted it towards the maw of the Doomsday machine with Kirk being beamed off at the last minute. "Gentlemen, I suggest you beam me aboard"

    Conjecture: He was replaced by one of the Undine just before transport from the Acquarius ship. Of course "Shon" is smiling.

    He's happy because he fooled us all...judging from the cutscenes, he was actually on the lower level of the Enterprise bridge all along, piloting the Aquarius by remote! :D
    You're right. The work here is very important.

    Not exactly, that was the Aquarius bridge he was on...the actual oddy bridge is...significantly more mundane...

    And it has lighting well suited to remans like Slamek

    Anyone with an oddy who has actually looked into modifying the interior knows this.

    Sadly...i do haz an oddy, they're great for tanky tanky, as it took half a fleet of mirror universe vessels to make me go boom in one xD

    i was kinda glad to go boom, the screen was full of mirror universe ships
    The hamster will RULE ALLL....

    Mwahahahahahahaha

    Huh?

    The Enterprise, like the C-Store Odysseys, use the so-called "Aquarius" bridge, yes. But it's meant to be the bridge of the cruiser, not the bridge of the docked escort. The design of the bridge matches the ship model precisely, and it has a lower level, which is where they stuck Shon in the cutscene, even though he was supposedly on the escort. Presumably because they didn't want to create a new bridge just for that cutscene.

    And now I've gone and explained away what little amusement there was in my perfectly cromulent little joke...
