Han Solo Smuggling bonanza

Darth Fanboy · Post by **Darth Fanboy** » 2003-03-25 02:35am

The Millenium Falcon is Smuggling Romulan Ale and has just finished deliverin its cargo when suddenly the hyperdrive engine fails on their way out of the system.

A lone Federation ship is patrolling the sector and is in pursuit, the goal being to capture the Falcon intact if possible, destroy it if necessary.

So the situation is this, Han and Chewie have to evade the Federation ship until r2-d2 can finish with the hyperdrive engine. Can Han and Chewie successfully evade if the commander is either:

James T Kirk, E-nil or E-A

Jean Luc Picard. E-D or E-E

William Riker, E-D or E-E

Benjamin Sisko, Defiant

Kathryn Janeway, Voyager

Give us a good reason why the Falcon should be evading instad of blowing the Fed starships to bits?

Darth Fanboy · Post by **Darth Fanboy** » 2003-03-25 04:50am

Han and Chewie are busy flying the Falcon (it is a two man job) to have anyone man the qud turrets. They're out of torpedoes because no one in the AQ can sell them replacements.

If you really want to get picky then the weapons are offline also, R2 is trying to divert some power to get the hyperdrive working Im not sure but lets try and keep the spirit of the excercise intact.

I think with the skills of Han and Chewie and the maneuvering of the Falcon, the Feddies (no matter which one listed), after a pointless effort, will have to sit and watch the Falcon jump into hyperspace.

To add some amusement, I think Han will think of something dirty like swoosh up on the bridge a la TESB, and sit there until R2 fixes the hyperdrive, in "Blink of an Eye" Voyager can detect a ship hung on the hull, but since the Falcon's shields are still up, the Feddies can't transport anyone, the omnipotent phasers can't hit such a location, and even if the Feddies send guys in spacesuits to board the Falcon (IF they can go through the shields, which is unlikely, but I'm just including this for fun), they'll be torn to pieces by Han and Chewie.

James T Kirk, E-nil or E-A - There's a chance the Falcon will get away but Kirk stands a chance o getting them. Call it 50-50.

Jean Luc Picard. E-D or E-E - Damn unlikely

William Riker, E-D or E-E - Never going to happen

Benjamin Sisko, Defiant - He's got a bit better chacnce than Kirk but hardly spectacularly so.

Kathryn Janeway, Voyager - She finds them but opens fire and forces Han to destroy Voyager in response.

Anything larger than Voyager is easy to escape. Han need only pilot the Falcon into an asteroid field; large federation starships lack the maneuverability to pursue them. This eliminates Kirk, Picard, Riker, and possibly Janeway.

A bewildering array of natural phenomena also interfere with Federation sensors. If he can get out of their site for just a moment, Han could slip into the magnetic field over a planet's pole to avoid detection. He could also cruise into the atmosphere of a gas giant (preferably one with a lot of electrical activity in the atmosphere) to escape detection and capture. He could also land the ship on an asteroid with a lot of metal content and probably be safe.

Avoiding any of the Enterprise's would probably be a sure thing. Evading the Defiant or Voyager would be a bit more difficult because the Falcon doesn't have as much of a maneuverability advantage. Han still has an excellent chance of escaping in any of these circumstances, though.

Well the UFP vessels has him beat in the acceleration area tho, atleast latter ones like the Defiant(AMRE).

The Defiant has demonstrated to be as manenuverable as the defiant too, the question is if it coold shoot him down, with torps likely, so it comes to how powerfull one believes they are.

Since when? That's a claim that requires credible evidence.

Of course the Defiant is as manueverable as the Defiant. The question is whether it's as maneuverable as the Millenium Falcon.

I thought that was widely accepted, if not, I won't care to debate it.

Well I meant the falcon, there was a long debate on that sometime ago and they showed clips, I saw the defiant do many things that the Falcon did.

All solo has to do is give each other "codenames" and then just stick it to the feds:

Feds: You are all under arrest.

Solo: OK so I supposed you want to see the captain?

Feds: Yes.

Solo: Hu is the new captain of the ship.

Feds: That's what I want to know.

Solo: That's what I'm telling you.

Feds: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new captain of your ship?

Solo: Yes.

Feds: I mean the fellow's name.

Solo: Hu.

Feds: The guy in your ship.

Solo: Hu.

Feds: The captain of your ship.

Solo: Hu.

Feds: The captain!

Solo: Hu is captaining the ship.

Feds: Now whaddya' asking me for?

Solo: I'm telling you Hu is captaining your ship.

Feds: Well, I'm asking you. Who is captaining your ship?

Solo: That's the man's name.

Feds: That's who's name?

Solo: Yes.

Feds: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the captain of your ship?

Solo: Yes, sir.

Feds: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in your ship? I thought he's a historical figure from the 20th century Middle East.

Solo: That's correct.

Feds: Then who is in your ship?

Solo: Yes, sir.

Feds: Yassir is in your ship?

Solo: No, sir.

Feds: Then who is?

Solo: Yes, sir.

Feds: Yassir?

Solo: No, sir.

Feds: Look, I need to know the name of the captain of your ship.

Solo: R2, hyperdrive!

To my knowledge, claims that Federation starships have better straight-line acceleration than the Falcon are not widely accepted. I've certainly never had any reason to make that assumption.

His Divine Shadow wrote: I saw the defiant do many things that the Falcon did.

The Defiant is the ship in this scenario that has the best chance of keeping up with the Falcon. Simply by virtue of being larger, however, it's going to have a more difficult time avoiding asteroid collisions than the Falcon, even if it has comparable maneuverability.

Of course, asteroid fields as nasty as the one near Hoth are not known in the Trek galaxy, so only the big ships will have issues pursuing the Falcon into an asteroid field, anyway.

They could beam Han and Chewie over to any one of those UFP vessels. Within an hour, he'd have conquered the entire ship. Nothin' beats a good blaster by your side. Especially when its Han's DL-44.

Then he'd just lay low and act like a Fed ship until the hyperdrive is fixed and voila! He's off to see the wizard again.

Darth Yoshi · Post by **Darth Yoshi** » 2003-03-25 08:20pm

No way. With the power that Han's blaster packs, he'll risk blowing the hull.

That's where the portable mag-con field generators come in handy.

Darth Yoshi · Post by **Darth Yoshi** » 2003-03-26 12:10am

Yeah, but considering how the hulls of Fed ships require force fields to remain intact, blowing a hull would strain RAM, leaving open the possibility of . . . warp core breach. Magcon ain't gonna help against that.

Damn, I forget about that.

Hell, never mind blowing a hole in the hull, the magcon field itself might destablise the warp core because of {insert treknobabble}.

If you have Janeway in Voyager, you have Paris in the Delta Flyer, by default.

This guy would be the most likely canidate as the customer. He would buy the cargo adn then descreetly lose Han with a wink.

Darth Fanboy wrote:Jean Luc Picard. E-D or E-E

Not a chance. Picard would waste time talking until the Hyperdrive it fixed and bye bye Han.

Darth Fanboy wrote:William Riker, E-D or E-E

This incompitent fool couldn't find his socks in the laundry.

Darth Fanboy wrote:Benjamin Sisko, Defiant

In the Defient Sisco has a good chance of succeding but the lecture he gives Han just before he captures him gives R2 time to fix the Hyperdrive and Zoom bye bye Han.

Darth Fanboy wrote:Kathryn Janeway, Voyager

Janeway could find a needle in a haystack with a mangnet! Besides she would go off on some tangent forgeting Han altogather.

if we care to notice that han has delivered his cargo and has an empty cargo bay. he also will have wiped all record of the shipment from the computer on his ship. he could get picked up and even then talk his way out of their hands for lack of evidence.

What i meant was that Kirk was probably the guy who bought the cargo in the first place

ohh

if that is the case than both Han and Kirk will just chuckle and wink.
if it is any of the other captains han may send a distress call and the good hearted feds may even help him.

I guess eventually they'll call each other 'buddy' and open up a bottle.
