or low-megaton range4. However, SW fighters can carry weapons up to and including huge multi-gigaton warheads5, yet they are still ineffective against capital ships without support from heavy weapons6.
Well, they did it once in "The Wounded."Isolder74 wrote:My question is if they can have a Transport window in the TOS what happened to it in TNG?
There has been times that Kirk has beamed up while the ship was under attack. Why can't TNG guys do this anymore?
Hehehe! I like this!Specially designed and optimized "metaphasic shields" exist which will allow a shuttle to survive for several minutes inside a star's photosphere22, even though a normal shield can survive in the star's corona for hours, where the bombardment is not much different (certainly within an order of magnitude, since it is defined by the inverse-square law). This reinforces the conclusion that there is some particular vulnerability to solar plasma.
LaForge was on the planet, being tortured by Data. The estimates were being called out by an ensign. Actually, not having seen the episode in a while, I'm not sure a time estimate was ever given, much less 5 minutes.In this incident, the Enterprise-D moved deep into the corona of a star using special metaphasic shields, and its chief engineer estimated that its shields would fail within 5 minutes under this bombardment.
When the scenes of the away team on the planet are shown, it is filmed with a sort of yellowish-red filter, a softer version of the color used in "Nemesis" where they find B-4's body parts.3) The star was not a main-sequence star, and was a highly anomalous, exceptionally luminous star. However, the star did not have an unusual colour, and there were naturally habitable planets in its system. Again, this theory is unworkable.
