Warp bubbles probably disrupt naked electromagnetic fields - that's gotta be the force holding the nacelles in place, since it was a superconductor Owo disrupted, and superconductors can both conduct electricity (as their name suggests) as well as generate magnetic fields.
-
But Discovery didn't blow up, despite the severity of the explosion - so apparently, the idea worked.
-
Oh, they're delivering a game...in pieces - they're like the IKEA of gaming.
-
That's why I took the lobi...and also didn't touch the T6 infinity box I got a few weeks after - because I knew this was coming.
-
Well, given that in Star Trek, the word 'gravimetric' means gravity manipulation...maybe they're crushing the star to distort space-time and get those faster warp speeds...but that can't last forever, because as the pressure inside any star's core increases, heavier elements start fusing and you eventually reach a point…
-
The ship itself is not the issue (I had one in a Swarm TFO last night and its target box was exactly what it should've been for a ship that size) - it's the damn drone swarm deployable.
-
So even the slightest bit of damage to a nacelle can apparently cause a catastrophic, unstoppable chain reaction that can destroy the entire ship in the vast majority of cases...congratulations, you just justified the existence of detached nacelles - can't cause a chain reaction if there's no physical space for the chain…
-
No, she shouldn't be - Saru should be...it's about damn time we get a PERMANENT alien captain of a hero ship - too damn many humans have held that role. Azetbur was right about the Federation being a glorified 'Homo Sapiens only' club.
-
It wasn't a list of successful alternatives, though, now was it?
-
And yet warp drive is perfectly safe to use within the event horizon of a black hole (which we, in fact, see the Cerritos doing), so it's clearly not related to anything to do with sudden acceleration away from a source of hull stress.
-
No one brought up the Soliton Wave Generator - Doctor Ja'Dar is sad.
-
They made the bits they adapted canon, not the entire star charts - I recall there being some minor differences between the latest version of Star Charts and those used in Discovery and Picard.
-
(At least she didn't jump into a decaying orbit with a class O star...even though it wasn't blue like a class O should've been Also...does anyone besides me think that maybe doing this: is a bad idea? Especially on a ship with THAT particular name?)
-
You don't even need FTL to render a planet uninhabitable (separate from destroy, because destroying implies the sort of thing we see the death star do, and to shatter a planet with enough force that the pieces don't collapse back into a sphere again, if a badly misshapen one, takes about the same output in a single SECOND…
-
Well, not as actual story choices, but it would make for an interesting stand-alone mission that was solely about the Krenim letting the player play around with their temporal holodeck, letting them play out what would happen if they DID choose to do something different with moments in their past - even though all it would…
-
Sela gave the reason for that in Uneasy Allies - the Iconians are so attuned to their gateways that chroniton radiation is exceedingly dangerous to them - they can't time travel at all, because doing so would basically blank their minds.
-
I do wonder whatever happened to Annorax's timeship...the end of YoH implies he actually chose to spend time with his wife instead of building it in the reset timeline, but...the plans were still there, and Annorax technically lived back in the...22nd century? Even if he never actually finished the ship, the amount of work…
-
Uh, well, lessee...the war ended with NO near-genocide on Starfleet's part, so there's one example of joy...what'shername from the Hiawatha didn't get crushed to death, Pike, Terralysium didn't get wiped out, Pike, the kelpiens and Ba'ul made nice with each other, did I mention Pike?, the universe lived, The Burn got…
-
One theory I saw years ago was that the bio-pulse weapon somehow interacts negatively with technology, or maybe metal...which is why they're so deadly to Borg ships, but the blow that struck Voyager only sent it tumbling - and would explain why in STO the bio-pulse conduit (to use A2's name for it) can destroy Borg worlds…
-
(Odo is going to be very surprised when he drops out of warp to find a Federation starship already there - one that, to his knowledge, was stationed at K-13 and is in no way significantly faster than any of his ships.)
-
That's the site's TRIBBLE spam filter - no one's actually approving anything. And Vulcans as a whole weren't the ones pushing for reunification - SPOCK was...the Vulcans were probably anywhere from ambivalent to outright hostile to the idea - we've seen what they think of any species who doesn't follow their ideology.
-
Well, Ex-SQUEEZE-me! The only power-draining asteroid field I - and many other people - are familiar with is the Menthar booby trap...someone should've clarified that.
-
And unless those 18 members threatening to leave were important members for cohesiveness, like the Vulcans or Andorians...I would've just said 'Go ahead...the only one you're hurting is yourself.'
-
There is no dumbing down they could possibly do to explain how a star that size, which probably only puts out enough energetic radiation to make it comparable to one of the Enterprise's auxiliary fusion reactors, isn't taking MORE power to keep the containment field needed to keep it from melting anyone getting too close…
-
Just about as hilarious as someone calling the spore drive silly (which it is, despite having one of the best pieces of music ever composed for Star Trek attached to it) and then turning around and saying having a miniature STAR inside a ship barely bigger than a runabout is not - they're both TRIBBLE stupid. The Spear of…
-
I have seen plenty of people say the J is ugly - and I agree with them - but I have never once seen anyone say it wasn't a Star Trek design...certainly not to the sheer extent these ships have gotten.
-
Neither do Borg ships, Breen ships, Undine ships...basically any ship that isn't Starfleet, but no one ever complained about them - the ONLY reason people are complaining about any of Discovery's S3 ships not being Star Trek ship designs, which they absolutely are, is because they're from Discovery...no other reason. Maybe…
-
They also went warp 13 in AGT, but given that was a Q-test, who knows how much he TRIBBLE up the basic immutable laws of the universe in the process.
-
And they really shouldn't have killed off Georgiou so fast either...having her survive the BatBS and end up onboard Discovery for most of the season would've made for some incredible tension between her and Burnham as they slowly reconciled and we also would've gotten to know more about her in the process...and THEN they…
-
And also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc - amazing storage capability, will probably never see mass-market...not unless someone can market it the way Jobs did with the iPhone.
