enigma

No a major world would be consumed by the end of the fifty days. Less for colonies. By the time the fleet arrives, there is no colony. Plus the Hive fleet can attack more than one planet at a time. Pitting a Hive fleet against the UFP is very much unfair for the Federation. They'd be crushed in no time.

51 days for a major world. Federation colonies would take a lot less. Also, a Hive fleet would not just attack one planet but many. Look at the history of Tyranid attacks in the Lexicanum and you'll see how big these hive fleets are.

Hah! That is funny. It also gives credence to you being in a drug filled fantasy. Vader > Kirk > Sisko > Picard > Archer > Janeway.

I think he may have made that claim on SDN before his banning (unrelated).

He might even live!

Note that the timeline is based on a major world and not a colony. Invasion of small colonies would obviously take much less time since there is effectively no resistance. Oh, and the hive fleet does not attack just one world. They can attack more than one simultaneously.

Here is the description of how they take over and consume a planet's resources from the same website Lexicanum.

Here's a typical timeline of how the Tyranids consume a world taken from the Lexicanum website. The 'Nids sneak in some of their own onto a planet and then they begin infest the local population and begin taking over. Usually by the time that they are noticed, it is too late to deal with them and then soon after the main hive fleet arrives. Notice that when the main Hive fleet arrives, it contains 1.5 BILLION crafts. Granted, only a small fraction are capital ships but it is enough to swarm Starfleet's entire fleet of ships.

Red matter is lost tech since AFAIK all of it was onboard Spock's ship and the Vulcans promised to stop producing it if you want to use STO. What you seem to forget is that when a hive fleet consumes a world, it increases its fleet size. It can create more hive fleets. Let's say it takes two planets to create another hive fleet then the amount of time to consume every Fed planet drops by half. Those two consume another two planets then ten years becomes five, then two and a half, one and a quarter and so forth and so forth. Within a year it would be 64 fleets having consumed 126 planets and if those were member world then most of the Federation ceases to exist. You need to understand that the Tyranids have consumed 1,000 GALAXIES! They are worse than the Borg.

Also the ablative generator was never mentioned again after Endgame so it is lost tech until such time that CBS or Paramount decides to incorporate it in the future.

No BS tech that has not been proven to be used by the Feds. transphasic torpedoes are alternate timeline technology with no canon evidence that it has been developed in the main timeline. MINES ARE USELESS IN A THREE DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENT! It only worked in DS9 because they used it near the mouth of the wormhole. The Feds do not have enough time to manufacture billions upon billions of mines needed to encompass every single inhabited world in the UFP. It would be a waste of resources and energy for something that might not work on organic ships.

In short, UFP loses.

I'd watch that, but I'm afraid that it would turn me into a Jason clone.

What proof is there that plasma weaponry is useless against the Borg? Where? Species 8472 is proof that a race utilizing organic based technology being able to resist assimilation. 'Nids have a more effective form of assimilation than the Borg. Borg don't assimilate corpses but the 'Nids can. The moment the 'Nids have access to the needed resources (which is practically anything) they can create more of themselves. The more they kill the Borg, the more of the 'Nids are created. You lose, again and get the hell out of this topic.

From your W40K link, "This page needs content. You can help by adding a sentence or a photo!" How does that help the UFP? I had to google the Narval and what I've read only just shows how diverse the 'Nids are. The moment a Narval ship locks onto a planet's gravitational field it begins to go FTL. Slow at first but the closer it gets the faster it becomes. But since in this scenario you've mentioned that the 'Nids have attacked a colony, it is moot. The colonists have been twiddling their thumbs up their collective asses as the Narval gets closer until it was too late. Jackass. What you don't realize is that the majority of the Tyranids use the warp (not ST warp) for their FTL needs and it is quite fast. But yes, the 'Nids take their time. It takes about a month (as far as I know) from invasion to reducing a planet to a lifeless husk. Now you've also mentioned that the 'Nids have been attacking other colonies. Well, my dim-witted, ass-breathing nemesis, this means that there would be more than one Hive fleet. Each with around 1,000 capital ships, each with a powerful collective Hive Mind, and billions of 'Nids mucking about. If one Hive Fleet is enough to doom the UFP and co., having more than one is plain overkill. Even in 40K, there have never been more than one Hive Fleet attacking planets and it took a long time to take one down. The UFP will mistake the 'Nids as an organic version of the Borg and attack accordingly, but they would be gravely mistaken. Also, do not introduce a one off tech in a debate. Phase dildos and cock rings, which you salivate over are prototypes and not production models. As atom mentioned, Starfleet has yet to produce a working one. Nor will they as long as the Treaty of Algernon is in effect. As for the mines and I may be stretching this a bit, would they even detect organic hulls or do the mines react to gravity masses? Even then, how would the UFP be able to produce a minefield large enough to stop the 'Nids when they can simply go around it and not only that, how are the Feds able lay the mines if they cannot track then in the warp? How will they know their exit point? Mines are useless in this scenario.

The Federation isn't going to do squat to the 'Nids. They will not deploy cloaked mines that publish literature on their own nor commit atrocities by using thalaron radiation. You do not realize that the moment the 'Nids control ONE. SINGLE. PLANET. everyone in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants are screwed. The UFP are not nasty butchers and will try to use all normal means of containing the Tyranids. They have no clue as to how the 'Nids operate. By the time they realize their error, it will be too late.

Retard, a Hive fleet has billions of various types of Tyranids available to them and they can easily create more from dead drones. You fail and get the hell out of this thread!

Still not enough to defeat the 'Nids and also there's a limit to how much a drone can adapt to a weapon. Could a drone be able to withstand a bio plasma attack from a huge carnifex?

They can't adapt to organic weapons, at least as far as we currently know. How are they going to adapt to acid that eats them alive? Or suddenly unable to stand as a chemical compound corrodes their skeletal structure? Borg ships cannot adapt to being ripped apart by pincers from a bioship. Go away Jason. You are fouling up a perfectly good topic.

Badly.

Not the same, not even remotely the same. The moment the Hive fleet has taken control over a planet, the Federation is thoroughly screwed. If a colony is taken over then the whole planet is lost. Second, Starfleet would not send a fleet but a single ship to investigate. That ship would be lost to the Tyranids unless the captain is smart and gets the hell out of there and gets help. Even if help arrives, the 'Nids, if they don't have the firepower, they do have the tonnage and the numbers to overwhelm just about any fleet sent against them. The best way to win against the 'Nids is to defeat them before they get near a planet. Anything else is a lost cause. Plus the UFP do not have the mindset to casually commit genocide so that is a big point against them. But of course, you'll ignore everything I typed and post irrelevant youtube clips about you porking your mother.

It is not the same. Every warp capable ship also uses some type of subspace bubble for FTL speeds. What a fucking moron. Subspace bubble does not equal phase cloak.

For Jason, retarded ideas are great ideas.

Pure and utter gibberish.
