  1. Funnily everyone sane long ago accepted the fact that Hyperdive is retardedly fast. I find it hilarious that one small sect still struggles to prove against all logic that hyperdrive is slow.

     

     

     

    No one rational questions the speed of SW FTL, the evidence from G canon is overwhelming. Unlike say firepower which is much more ambiguous.

     

     

     

    But silly trekkies need to tell themselves trek is better at everything so there you go


  2. 1. ANH was written in the 70's, the definition of a modest sized galaxy has changed significantly since then, thanks to all the info from the Hubble. Knowing the originators of this, it wouldn't surprise me if they were willfully taking it out of context

     

     

     

    2. Said maps aren't specifically mentioned to be to scale, since I can argue that SW systems/stars are lightyears in diameter from them. Funnily the only source specifically drawn to scale, mentions 120,000 LYs

     

     

     

     

     

    3. A parsec isn't defined as a fixed unit of distance, but rather an angular measurement. A parsec might have an entirely different meaning in SW or more likely use a different set of variables

  3. Um, they probably can't. The only known counter-measure to a SW cloaking device is to detect their gravity using a very special, very expensive sensor. In TNG, the sensor nets that protected the Federation border from Romulan incursion were in fact, designed to detect gravity. As we learned later, Starfleet decided to replace these (well, not replace actually--probably just added them on) with a new method of detecting the cloaks. This suggests that the former method was very unreliable--proven by the fact that we see ships such as the Defiant passing by other ships scanning for them. .
    Hope they're better than the ones that missed a neutronium dyson sphere

  4. Ty, people close to the external shell of the DS should be easy targets for the Transporters, IF, and only IF, the transporting ship is below the shield.

     

     

     

    But I think InvaderSkooj described it best as to what will happen to the MACOs.

     

    PosRep for that analysis... thumbsup.gif

    I forgot, a couple wiill die when they cant find a bathroom or get out of their ultratight pyjamas and suffer from sepsis, and kidney failure from not being able to expel waste

  5. The TMs are contradictory and highly inconsistent. I'd literally pull my hair out in frustration if they made them canon. It's hard enough to deal with consistency in the hundreds of hours of movies and TV shows, let alone deal with these TMs. The last thing we need is a situation on the Trek side like we have with the warsfags and the ICS. Essentially claiming that a TM somehow supersedes anything else in canon, and it cannot be argued lest you be accused of heresy.

     

    Meh, the only real contradiction is of the rabid trekkie's interpretation of what is going on.


  6. No, but Feds sensors have demonstrated many times their superiority vs the SW ones.

     

    Feds routinely do gravimatric scans and yet fail to detect cloaked ships even with these scans.

     

     

     

    Even if the SW sensors were as good as the Fed ones, since the Feds cannot detect ST cloaked ships, then it is logical to assume the same for SW sensors...

    And since they are cloaked and they cant detect them, how do they know that the cloaked ships are even in range of their gravimetric sensors. For all we know gravimetric sensors have a very short range
