Ship Inconsistencies

Lursa and B'etor had set up a link with Geordi's visor, so they could see everything that he saw. They hoped to find out what the shield frequency was, and they got it. What they did was modulate the frequency of their torpedoes to 257.4 MHz, the shield frequency, so that the torpedoes would go through the shields, and they did.

Yes once you can shoot thru shields your screwed, a K'vort is fairly heavily armed so a few torpedo hits on the completely unshielded hull will ruin your weekend.

I don't know still seems like total crap to me. All those lovely Type X phaser arrays would melt a kvort in seconds. Even if all power was out and EPS blown to hell a few dozen torpedos from the lovely burst fire launchers would blow a kvort into a million tiny pieces. I vote for Korang's number 5

Well it's not a small vessel E-D, was dealing with, it was a K'vort class heavy cruiser. 2 K'vorts can heavily damage a Galaxy with it's shields up, one can EASILY get it with it's shields down, I mean torpedos hitting unshielded hull...especially when your not expecting it...

I know. In theory anyway unless those first enemy torpedos completely took out the EPS feeding the phasers and the torpedo launchers themselves it would take a competant tactical officer about 5 seconds to lock all weapons and return fire, vaporizing the K'Vort in the process. Just seems like kind of a silly way for the most powerful ship in Starfleet (at the time) to go down.

You seem to be missing that the first torpedos seriously crippled power on the E-D, because the weapons were constantly being fired straight at the warp core. She did get phaser shots off but seeing as how it's a newer bird of prey, much never then most, that it wouldn't take the shields below 60%.

ok first off I should point out this was a very small bird, and there is no way that it was a k'vort, simply to small, second it didn't take them but like thirty seconds to change the shield modualtion when fighting the borg, Third the Enterprise was at red alert and battlestations,and Idon't care if they just got the new members of the crew in it seems like they would have known how to throw out a batch of torpedoes and phasers, and I don't care much for the time gap, but within just a few seconds of engaging the scimitar the enterprise was launching 6 torpedoes, 4th as pointed out by many the bird they were using was old. Does no one else find it just completly illogical that the bird ever stood a chance even while being fired on. Even an idiot such as riker would have known to make some great manuvers, Fed ships may be thin shelled, but we see several instances where the hull takes one hell of a beating and still manages to make it through the situation (at this point we dismiss voyager as a reliable source)

they pointed out that the bird had been decomissioned how could it be new?

Ok well seeing as how you must have not seen the movie because it WAS a K'vort class BoP, and they said it was only 30 years old, you don't really seem to know what your talking about. Even if the BoP wasen't a K'vort, she is armed with the same torpedos as the K'vort, so it doesn't really matter.

The torpedo passes thru all barriers, including emergency force fields, that usually cushion blows even after the shields are down, and lands right into the hull near the warp core. I don't see any problems with this at all.

I suprised that you'll support the Dedrix and not the Galaxy

D'deridex and Galaxy are essentially equal in terms of fire power and defense.

Ummm ... then why did so many warbirds get blown to bits in the Dom wars while the half-dozen galaxies left a path of death and destruction in their wakes? Just wondering ...

Because it's a freakin show, because the warbirds led the attack while the federation brought up the rear, because of romulan battle tactics, maybe a mixture of all. Take your pick...

Not to mention that the federation is the "all over good guys" and they cant be shown loosing too much, but the romulans are the bad guys half the time.

Their bad a good 85% of the time.
