Ah okay. What do you make of all the screen evidence then?I'm not seeing anything that could possibly amount to a High-End Base Delta Zero.

Sci-fi Writers have no sense of scale...

I feel likeI'm going to explode laughing!

And Vader999 is back! His newest move is calling the ICS G-Canon.I've heard that one from him too.
-
As some of you know, Vader999 is a rabid Warsie I've run into on deviantArt. Basically, he's the Pro-Wars' side's version of Jason. Here are some of his finest hits:- Claiming Darth Nihlius could suck out Q's life energy.
- Claiming that the Federation is a thousand years old.
- Claiming that George Lucas said that SW fans get to pick their own canon.
- Using Outdated SDN pages.
- Claiming that I'm not a SW fan, therefore, I'm unable to pick my own canon. Despite the fact that I've said that I have the movies, some novels, and technical books, among other SW merchandise.
- Claiming that Darwinian Evolution is a poorly thought-out theory.
- Ignoring any high-yield ST claims.
Really, I could go on, but what's the point?
No point: he's a complete nut.
1. Q is Q. Nuff said.
2. Lack of info on the Federation's age.
3. Uh, no.
4. I've seen people use outdated SDN pages before: lots.
5.
6. No comment: I'm Jewish.
7. Like I said, he is a complete nut.

What I meant was, if the monopoles are all over the place, giving the weapon no distinct charge, how it it coherent enough to be a weapon?
-
Then how is it coherent enough to form a bolt?
-
I must admit, I have no idea what that would do. Wouldn't it make the bolts much to easy to deflect? For example: a turbolaser with a positive charge would easily deflect from a shield (or armor) with the same charge.
-
I understand that. Minus the angsting, he'd probably still wonder who his real mother is.
-
I agree. Preach on, sir! Preach on!
-
Or, it could be as the EU says, and they're canisters of Tibanna gas.That makes more sense. So 'Turbolasers' load containers of compressed gas, ionize the gas, force it into a projectile-like bolt, and shoot it towards the target. It also explains why 'turbolasers' are built in such a conventional gun-like fashion: they load in the containers like cannon shells.
-
Then you would absolutely despise "The Conversion Bureau". Well, more than most sane people.I'll never look at it, just to keep my sanity.
-
That's exactly how I feel about it. Ponyfication should be limited to things that are "cute" or "funny", and therefore fit to be ponyfied. A pony version of the Unicorn Gundam is simply... odd. And in a way, it is also disrespectful.
-
Or, those could just be run-of-the-mill flak cannons.I've heard that before. The problem is they are shooting Turbolasers and not "flak" of any kind. I don't remember flak being a single red-glowing projectile... thing. Flak usually results in flak. We even see a few shots pass right through openings on the Venator, ans shots from the Venator do the same to the Invisible Hand. Both had the same effect: blowing up a turbolaser, and tossing people/droids around the room.
Why would I believe that they are "flak" guns when they are placed like Turbolasers and shoot Turbolaser rounds?
-
After looking at what I could find, Magnetic Monopoles only exist as a hypothetical quasi-particle resulting from a hypothetical calculation applied to a hypothetical branch of science, for the purpose of explaining unproven hypotheticals.
In any case, it simply cannot be applied: even the experts themselves have absolutely no idea what they are talking about here: at all.
The Plasma Torpedo is large and powerful, and can easily be explained as requiring a large expendeture of power to maintain: it was stated to be a massive draw on the ship's engines in it's first appearance in TOS.
I can's say anything for turbolasers or blasters at all: they act like every other "laser gun" effect I've ever seen in fiction, and in Star Wars 3 you need actual, physical ammunition to fire them.
This leans towards an odd possibility of turbolasers (in particular) being tracer-projectiles. Still have nothing on blasters.
-
I agree with most of what you said here... but Force Scream is odd and silly. It's barely referenced, and I would bet it's never actually mentioned by name anywhere. It's just a random Force Power that someone cooked up. The only interesting one was Jorus C'baoth, and he did something that I've seen other fictional villains do for dramatic reasons.

Oh my.
That's really, really bad.

My brother is a mild Brony, and I occasionally find the show somewhat enjoyably funny.
After seeing most of the other fans, though, my opinion on them totally disintegrated. I cannot stand the idea of a Star Trek cast, or a dark videogame being rendered as multicolored ponies - ever - let alone all that other crap. It's a better-than-the-current-average CARTOON, and should be treated as such.

Despite what some people think, Star Trek online is set in the normal, original, Trek-verse on an official timeline. It references many hard canon incidents, from "Reunification parts 1 and 2" to "Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country" and wraps it together nicely. The only thing overtly "non-canon" about it is definitely the game's combat balance. (A Defiant class can CRUSH a Klingon Heavy Dreadnaught with minimal effort... ) Other than that, it fits canon well enough to be used, and it follows CBS's policies at every turn.
I would suggest it being allowed as soft-canon.
