Ship Inconsistencies

well, i think most romulans would try to escape, if they got no chance, to come back another time n finish them off.

Even so, don't think a Romulan would turn tail and run if things didn't go their way

If they were Kirk era Romulans then yes they would stay because they regard honor as much as current day (24th century) Klingons the newer Romulans don't belive in honor (remember they live to be well over 200)

I belive the Romulan warbird (D'deridex) would win simply because of the fact that it has more power, it runs off of an AQS while the Negh'var uses an old fashion warp core meaning the D'deridex could overload it's weapons while keeping full power to sheilds and SIF

A few romulans would run but I doubt very many would. Prolly because we have a backup plan all the time and would use it, like 2 more warbirds cloaked nearby.

AQS is strong but remeber that they tend to be unstable little beasties, but that is beside te point, one of the things that has been getting at me recently was the sudden lack of shields in Star Trek 6 for the Excelcior when she and the Enterprise engached General (chang?)'s cloaking torpedo BOP

It has shields but the effects in those movies makes it so when a torpedo hits your shield, it leaves a black mark on the hull but doesn't penetrate. They did once the excelsior lose her ventral shields. Same for enterprise.

Yeah the speculation is that the earlier shields merely detonated the torpedo, they didn't absorb all the energy (kind of like an RPG screen today) of course as is seen in newer movies almost all or even all the energy can be absorbed by the shields, because they're auto-modulating regenerative or something.

ok that might explain things, just knew that was bothering me that two ships were taken out so quickly with only torpedoes

Would the Dominion stand a chance against the Borg? I think it would make for one hell of a fight!

Too bad that it hasn't happened on ST yet.

the borg would win easily, all the jem hadar can do is stay invisable to hide, but the borg would adapt. but being the borg, the efficient way would be taking out the tetracell white facilities of teh domonion, they could easily do that

what about the loss of the enterprise at Viridian III, is their any resonable explanation

posted on March 2nd, 2005, 2:01 am

1. the enterprise was un prepared.(unlikley)
2. Teh pird of prey had enhanced torpedoes. (nahhh....)
3. La Forge had a brief siezure and couldn't modulate shield nutation.
4. The shields in the final-cut were replaced with under cooked bacon.
5. The enterprise e was due and they needed the enterprise d to get destroyed so, during an acid trip, one of the writers said "Hey wouldnt it be cool if the ent-d was destroyed by a birdofpery?!" (most likely)

Or maybe it's because the weapons didn't hit the shield? Like they didn't in the movie...
