If you know how to do it, you know what I'm talking about, and as of 2/11/10, it is no longer working. To perform the Picard Maneuver in STO, you could hit evasive manuevers then go to full impulse ("warp") which would give you a (VERY temporary) boost in speed.
During open beta, it was obviously broken, as it allowed players to go three times warp speed for the entire duration of the evasive manuevers, but by launch, this was fixed so all that all it allowed was the brief 1 second "jump" that simulated the Picard Maneuver. This could not be done in combat, and hardly provided any real benefit at all other than RP and "hey, look at me!" With a cool down limited by evasive maneuvers and not being able to be used in combat, I do not see why this was "fixed." It wasn't broken.
Please give me back my Picard Manuever, or I'll reprogram your Kobayashi Maru simulator.

I used the evasive+full impulse trick to do those ~20km trips to the next mob without losing much energy.
Evasive Maneuvers + Emergency Power to Engines still works though.
... Klingons run a lot with that in PvP lol
Whereas the Kirk manouever was adjusting the shirt of a young female alien ensign, whenever he stood up or sat down.
Anyway the effect you're refering too still exists if you hit evaisve first then full impulse. You jump forward very rapidly at increase speed then it slows you down to full impulse speed like half a second later. I do it pretty frequently without really trying.
Could not the threat to reprogram the Kobayashi Maru just be part of the Kobayashi Maru? How would it change anything to make that comment?
The rest of your post sounds great, but you lost it on that last line, since it actually falls within the catagory it is already in.
So the proper response to that comment.
I'll take the wrench
Picard maneuver also is standing up and tugging your shirt.
Picard maneuver also is called "facepalm"
Picard maneuver also is managing to dismiss several hot and interesting women in the course of your life, then complain that your family lineage will end with you because you had no children.
Actually the picard maneuver was done with warp speed, not full impulse so technically you could never do the Picard maneuver.
this and an enginer battery cause those guys go fast when trhey start taking hull damage
Technically, you cannot do the picard maneuver because you would be bothered by that fact, no!?
