because it would make certain parts of the fan base cry about how that "was never done in the shows". personally, i like the idea of my excelsior's massive shuttle bays being taken into account.

when someone you love dies, one of the most important parts of the grieving process is the acceptance of the idea that your time with that person is over, that they are gone and you can never see them again. the catharsis of this emotional event usually marks the end of mourning, and the beginning of your new life without…

umm, the treaty of algeron was not signed until 2311, after the end of the original series. (in the time between "the enterprise incident" and the year 2311 (about 50-60 years) the federation could and did legally use cloaking devices and develop cloaking tech) thus, the balance of terror incident and the treaty of algeron…

i've got a funny story of a fed captain. i was leveling up/RPing a Pakled Tac captian, and while doing so figured a solution to diplomatic orders. i just canceled the mission after retrieving the Vulcan, but before beaming him down. i figure he is still in my brig, and will remain there untill my character decides star…

because when you lost your homeworld, the Federation immediately sent food and aid for years, and still haven't stopped, even though its costing us ships and lives. during that same time, the klingons have tried to systematically exterminate you all. to top it all off your own secret police/government are turning your…

most ironic default ship name i have ever seen was my buddies jem Hadar dreadnought carrier, named the Nanking. seeing as it is highly inappropriate to name a ship full of pwnage after a city with a history like Nanking, (look it up and prepare to be depressed at humanity) we changed the name to Nanchang, (considered a…

Loved the post, I miss SFC2. However neither to romulans nor gorn used disruptors in that game

the question here is not whether the federation should have a cloak. my shiny invisible dreadnought cruiser is proof enough that the treaty is off/nobody cares what the pres said and the feds now have cloak. the question is why shouldn't we put cloak on all our ships. there is no technical reason we cant aside from the…

Backround, i am in real life an engineer specializing in manufacturing tech. the excelsior is all large solid parts, as opposed to every other starfleet ship which is a collection of small parts held together mostly with structural integrity fields. if a starfleet ship (and most other peoples ships) lost its SIF field…

and as the government of the federation is the will of the people, these things are all under popular control, directly or indirectly. if the people want to throw away their paradise, they are free to do so (like tasha yar's homeworld did). with the slight application of basic observation, your iron fist arguement vanishes…

The saucer separation maneuver removing the most powerful weapons system from the stardrive section makes little sense, unless the saucer can fire the phasers at full power on its own. It kinda makes sense if your lifeboat, meant to protect the families of the crew, has the biggest, ammo free weapons system on it. And it…

Hangar pets Yes they do, just playtested it myself. Buff icon appears when fighter/shuttle is targeted.

The way i remember it, the lyran empire collapsed, the lyran democratic republic formed out of its remains, and eventually joined the federation. We call them caitans because of copywright stuff. Everything else is spot on though. Would love to see ferasan ships or atlease an expanding sphere generator console (klingon…

i think the whole thing is a nefarious plot to get everyone out of galaxy refits and into galaxy dreadnoughts, because fewer people fly the dreadnought. more sales = more money. or in the coming days they could revamp the Galaxy Retrofit, but tribble suggests otherwise...
-
I totally agree with everything you just said. Edit: perhaps sensor analysis would be a better solution for giving the galaxy the fix it needs in firepower? What do you think?
-
according to the giant launch bay on the blueprints, my "carrier fantasy's" are how the ship is supposed to be. it can easily launch 4-6 shuttles at once and carries dozens of the craft. to ignore these design elements because they were never emphasized in the show is to ignore the craft itself. and these designs elements…
-
the IP holders and creators of star trek, created and/or approved those blueprints, and that internal configuration. a galaxy class capable of rapid launch and recovery of small craft of any kind is evidently part of gene Roddenberry approved vision and his approved ship designs. the only reason we didn't see it is because…
-
It could be a classroom, but doesn't have to be. And the federation stopped putting families on ships before the dominion war started, and never resumed. So no classrooms on these modern galaxys. Also, hull repair is probably done with the ships transporter systems and replicators operating in tandem. You wouldn't even…
-
The third thing justifies the second thing which then justifies the first thing. No mistakes here. Just a hangar bay that is one of the largest single internal features on the ship that the entire saucer is built around that were not allowed to utilize as we wish because we never saw used it in the shows. And u don't have…
-
thats a real nice strawman you have there. i never argued that it was seen using its giant hangar bay to full potential in the shows. what i am arguing is that there is no reason it can't do that now, especially when there is plenty of evidence that the federation does use fighter craft (during the dominion war). my logic…
-
yes, i have watched every episode of the original series, the animated series, Next Generation, Deep space nine, Voyager, half of enterprise, and all the movies. Further, i have read and used to own the TNG technical manual and still own The Art of Star Trek. I use the galaxy class blueprints as my desktop background. i am…
-
such a large portion of the ships structure devoted to hangar space suggests otherwise.
-
the only thing keeping a galaxy class ship from being a full fighter carrier is a change of shuttle roster. (srsly that thing is a cavern of a main shuttle bay) in the show she fully had the capability to field a wing of shuttles or runabouts, but was never in a situation where that would be necessary. if you use shuttle…
-
very true, i never thought of that... except for the Excelsior class. they are mostly giant solid parts instead of a massive collection of sub assemblies, and very different from most other ships from a manufacturing and construction perspective. (also very expensive for its size to build, partially for the aforementioned…

actually, the Catian are the ones with the sentiant females, not the Ferasan. the breeding program that led to nonsentiant females is what caused the catian diaspora, which is the basis of many different federation Doff missions. in this case, the Ferasan are the "kzinti hegemony" and still an independant power, while the…

First, are u engie or tac, also which science ship, and what abilities have you seend her/him use? off the top of my head (if ur an engie), i'd reccommend an agile cruiser, like the Excelsior or Avenger (fleet of course), running an aux to batt, Beam fire at will (in case of sci carrier, also cause this is very good 1v1),…

not just built, its an andorian design as well. and until/unless cannon contradicts non-cannon, that is the federation charter we have, and i believe it is supported by a recent book Federation: the First 150 Years.
-
Notes on the Federation Charter "they also affirm the rights and guarantees of individual Federation Member States. For example, before signing the Articles, the Andorian Empire insisted that the Constitution guarantee each individual Member State be allowed to maintain their own spaceforce and military, separate from the…

because the primary complaint is the ships lack of firepower. everything else is ok, really, and there are more than enough other ships with commander engineer slots. a commander tac slot fixes everything at once with the least work, and allow for a relatively unique Boff layout. and again, it is still starfleets biggest…
