Awsome, thanks for the link. KOTOR has to be my favourite game. This second game is going to be even better by the looks of things.

You, if I'm not mistaken. Not everyone believes in your miraculous turnaround err ok then :roll: . I don't know who rick is and I don't know who you are so thats the end of that crap. And believe whatever crap you like chico. I'm not making some sort of miraculous turnaround, i'm on probation and s...

Luke skywalker said the Falcon was a piece of junk . Who are we to argue with a jedi. If luke said it was shit, then the falcon is shit. I agree with him. The Ebon also seems to have more room and is considered to be something special and it was owned by a rich man (its like some sort of sports car)...

rick ricardo wannabe?

Who are you talking about Lead?

Does anyone else remember star trek: generations when the excelsior (i think) is taken for a spin around pluto? Its the trip where the ship is struck by the energy ribbon and Kirk is taken into the nexus. I remember that the captain of that ship said the warp drive wasn't installed yet and that a sh...

Just out of curiosity, what is the population of the UFP and the Klingon Empire? Do the Klings have enough warriors to fight the Feds with batleths for an entire war? or will they need to use those guns they carry? If thats their mentality, then why don't they power down their ships disruptors and u...

I have been surfing the net for ages, but I can't find any decent pics of some SSD or ISD. Could someone please post any good links to wars sites that might have some quality pictures. Thanks

Torpedoes are not self propelled weapons like missiles. Their warp sustainer engines need to be charged by the starship that launched them. Hence torpedoes require both considerable power and space. So it is not possible to mount as many torpedoes as one wishes on external racks and call it a day. ...

Given that the Federation is the only power with beam weapons capable of accurately shooting down fighters this means Starfleet can use Fighters at will against its opponents and they will fair quite well ...Imagine a half dozen Peregrines swarming a D'Deridex which has like little to no capability...

Thus, Husnoch territory belonged to someone else throughout history, as far as the rest of the galaxy remembers That could have been a possibility but I don't think it is what he meant. The reason being that if they were wiped from history (ie as if they never existed) then the attack on the colony...

I'm not convinced on this one. Anyone else? The raw power of a battleship is awsome. It can pulverized a beach and all its fortifications into dust. I think that what was meant by his comment was that the accuracy of modern day ships means that they don't need all that raw power. They can do a simi...

No it wasn't. The USSR built four like the Admiral Gorshkov- the Admiral Gorshkov was the last of them No, the Admiral Gorshkov (launched in 1982) was the first of this kind of carrier, it was a sort of mini version of the much larger Admiral Kuznetsov which was launched in 1985. Of course the USSR...

Husnock space, however large it is, probably isn't any richer than Federation space Richer or not, it is still an area which may be exploited. Afterall, there is a dead border by the cardasians, a nuetral zone by the Romulans and the klingons wouldn't like any expansion into their territory, so all...

In fact the current inserts can withstand direct hits at point blank range from AK47s now thats impressive! Are you talking about the liquid kevlar jackets?please give me a link or something this should be a good read, thanks. Also Carrier Groups exist to protect the Carrier from such tactics, coun...

IIRC, 10 cubic meters of neutronium would weigh as much as the Earth

REALLY!! no wonder the enterprise couldn't cut through that thing.

hmmm, this is getting a little of topic. Maybe we should continue this in another area. I would like to discuss this tommorow since its getting late here in uk. It will be interesting to learn more about the defensive capabilities of the aegis.

How are these missiles going to be delivered? What's their range? How about their flight profile? The missiles can be fired from subs, ships, planes and possibly coastal batteries as well. Range depends on its flight profile. For High-low flight they can travel about 300km, for low-low they travel ...

Umm no the anti-missile defenses will just be upgraded to meet the threat of supersonic missiles. Lets just say for arguments sake that the missile defence onboard the carrier and its escort vessels is 100% accurate (obviously its not), all that the Russians would do is send in a whole swarm of ant...

The current estimated population of the Earth is over 6 billion, so their entire civilization consists of less than ten times the population of one twentieth-century planet (possibly less than three times the population of Earth today). That doesn't seem to be a lot for an interstellar empire. I ag...

You obviously missed the reason why the U.S. maintains a dozen Nimitz class carriers, is busily building another one, and working on a successor class, and meanwhile canceled the Montana class construction and retired the Iowas. Fighters are a force multiplier and furthermore they can strike at far...

Frankly, rather than replace the shuttle bays, I'd replace the shuttles in the bays with fighters. But that's a separate issue altogether.

I would take a shuttle bay full of torp launchers over a few fighters any day.

Hmm, if you took something like the galaxy class, and crammed it full of torpedo tubes, say around 50, would anything be able to last long enough against it to take advantage of its structural weaknesses? LoL, thats a good point. Also, why not keep the current number of phaser arrays? There is no n...

Torpedoes require guidance lock and a computer targeting system that can handle them. Furthermore a ship that relies to heavily on torpedoes will lack phasers. You run out of torpedoes, your out of guns. Last of all to many launchers creates weak point in the hull. The computers on a GCS are good e...

I heard him say that he killed 15 (or was it 50) billion Husnock, so i'm not sure why you said there were few of them. So they are never mentioned again? Well the space that the Husnock lived in is prime for federation colonization so its a shame that it wasn't expanded on. IF they ever existed that...

nice

I'm going to do a little research and find out what the new atlantis series is all about.
