Of course, they could have left out the bit the the Klingons being able to shoot through the Enterprise's shield. You know, when they got Geordi back, they had the intelligence to check his equipment to see if it's been tampered with. Then they could have had a Vorcha versus a shielded Enterprise and had the battle of the century. You can even have the Enterprise end up crashing into the planet, since I imagine the Vorcha is a tough bastard.

The only things that can save the Federation are torpedoes, technobabble, and the wills of Trekkies.

Perhaps they can take out an entire Imperial fleet with the massive energy released by an exploding bridge ocnsole

[The bridge crew of the Enterprise-E go about their daily routine during a simple shakedown cruise.]

Data: "All systems report functional, Captain."
Picard: "Very good. Prepare to warp back to Starfleet Command."

[Alarms begin to blare and the Enterprise goes to Red Alert.]

Worf: "Captain! Three Imperial-class Star Destroyers have jumped out of hyperspace and are on an intercept course for us!"
Picard: "Shields up! Power up all phasors and torpedo tubes!"
Worf: "Aye, sir."

[TIE fighters stream out of the ISDs and begin to make strafing runs on the Enterprise. They do little damage but buy time for the ISDs to maneuver into flanking positions.]

LaForge via intercom: "Captain, those Star Destroyers' turbolasers have ...................................................................................................

I think the Enterprise might get a few moments peace while the Imperials laugh at the Enterprises design.

Yeah, but then an Interceptor pilot would cough and one of the warp nacelles would blow up and cause a core breach.

Probably, especially if it hits the critical control junction in a Jeffries tube that handles the warp core safety locks...

Frequency is irrelevant, as TOW missiles are
a) obviously Borg technology :lol:
b) Federation shields can't stop objects traveling more than a hundred meters per second, let alone something traveleing at a couple of thousand meters per second (like the Jem'Hadar attack ships).
