You do know they make low noise switches? And that modern RF switches are rated for millions of switching operations? Yes I am aware of low noise switches. And I am also aware of the ratings of those switches and the real world application as well. The switch can be mounted in the receiver the ante...

Arrow I believe you said something about just unplugging the antenna or hooking up a swtich? I have a few comments on that. 1) Lets think about all the antennas that could be on a Battlestar: Voice Comm for CIC figure on the low stide of two each upper and lower, UHV, VHF, HF and thats only 1 radio ...

Put a peppy engine in a sports car, then stick an identicle one in a delivery truck. Then drag race the two. Which one would win? The sports car, because the car is both lighter and has far superior aerodynamics. Sorry, but drag racing is what I like to do more often than not. Your statement is inc...

The Defiant class is not a fast warship at warp but for its size it has a very powerful warp core Your comparing apples to oranges. The Defiant was an experimental design (hense the NX in it's hull registry) that was "... over gunned and over powered for a ship its size" The Nebula most l...

Forgive me if it's not completely accurate but ST:FC

Troi: First I had to take a few shots of something called Tequila before I could find out if he was the man we were looking for.
It's a primitive culture, I'm just trying to blend in.

Riker: Your Blended alright.

Another thing that bugs me is why they don't have fighter racks suspended over the hanagar opening. It's a HUGE space! And a huge WASTE of space too. They could've easily multiplied their TIE Fighter loadout by six if they had just suspended some racks over that space. This would be a little hard t...

A space suit, C4, detonator and a can opener. He'll never see it coming.

kojikun, you make a good point. Although the whoever it is wouldn’t be restricted to just radio waves if they were developing parallel with us. Other forms of communication can be detected almost as easily as radio waves. Trust me, I used to work on electronic surveillance aircraft. Regard...

"It's quite similar to when a star goes supernova at the end of its life," Dr. Van der Meer explains. "Over the past 11 years, we've seen our Sun go through changes frighteningly like those that took place in Kepler's Star right before it was observed going supernova in 1604." I...

One thing to consider though is that scientist aren't looking at just radio. They are constantly searching for X-rays, electromagnetic anomalies , etc. along with traditional radio and digital waves. I guess my main point is that if something is sent in analog, digital, infrared, etc... it makes no ...

The main reason for saucer seperation is so that the crew can be evacuated to the saucer when in battle, in doing this the Battle section becomes more deadly because the profile is reduced, and the saucer is reported to cover an extra 4 phaser strips. I fail to see how this would be advantageous wh...

I'm not saying that he is an engineer or a ship design expert. However, I'm sure you don't get to be a Grand Admiral or even considered a tactical Genius without at least know a little about the offensive and defensive capabilities, performance characteristics, sensory capabilities of the ships you ...

How about these?

I think Napolean would have a little trouble against Victor Ian Steiner-Davion if it were a group of 1000 elementals againt eachother no matter how good a stragest he is. But thats just my oppinion.

Just to throw my .02 cents in (being the FNG and all) I'd just like to say that some of the things pointed out in that questionnaire were already in place. For example: I think one of the questions was to the effect of: Can police enter your home without a search warrant. Yes they car for a few reas...

I don't know much about the current state of the drug busts or war on drugs in the big citys. but I was in the Navy for 5 years as an aviation electronics tech on EP-3's and my last duty station in Jacksonville FL working on P-3's. The P-3 orions are first and formost a sub hunter. But the systems o...

eventually takes over the Federation, the Klingon and the Romulan Empires If that is the case, then I am sure we are talking over a few years in which he has time to reinvent some of the technology from his previous position and would probably be able to mount a half descent defense. He seems to kn...

Hi guys, newbee here but I like a good discussion so here I am. Ok, so the discussion is on mines. Lets see, Emperium Mines: Used by Admiral Trigit in X-Wing Wraith Squadron by calculating jump points from a know target area to surrounding areas, passed information on distance, location, habitation,...
