enigma

Silly me, you are right.

One thing was agreed over at SDN is that phasers uses NDF reaction and works best against targets that are not quite dense but is weaker against dense materials. It is also theorized that since it was a rogue planet and could still support life that it would have had a very thin crust. Now, put two and two together and there could be a slight chance that the one third crust destruction could have been possible. BUT there still would have been lasting repercussion on the planet after having a third of it's crust destroyed. Other than clouds wobbling there was nothing to show that the Cardies\Romulans had that capabilities. Plus they relied on their info on a changeling posing as a Romulan commander. All in all unless a new Trek series pops up showing Fed\Klingon\Romulan\etc... ships doing real damage to a planet, there is no indication that they can destroy a planet in short order with so little ships. Also before I forget, even if TDIC shows that they can destroy a planet's crust and mantle in a little as five hours, it only proves that it would take 20 ST ships to do a job that an ISD could do better. We can't compare firepower between ST and SW because it is lopsided towards SW's favour. Just to be in contention, the major Trek powers would have to concentrate heavily in offensive and defensive research. Find a way to make neutronium work for them. The Feds alone could have a leg up over their neighbors just because of the abundance of one-hot (or lost)tech. Reverse engineering at least the Echo Papa 607 would do wonders for the Feddies.

An unimpressive explosion. Very very unimpressive. If you see it slowly, the explosion first takes out at least half of the Saratoga, half second later rest is destroyed too. It had to be a warp core breach because earlier in that clip another Miranda had half of its saucer section blown off yet no explodey.

Think "All in the Family". Meathead!

You do know that a low yield nuke like the ones dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki also do the same thing and can be seen from orbit? All this is going to show is that the phaser\diruptors plus the torps have a low end firepower in the lower kiloton yield. In no way have any ST power have shown to have that kind of energy generation. If so then that Borg Cube was withstanding planet shattering firepower at Wolf 359 but even the Borg have that kind of power generation. In short, in no way, especially from the Cardies do any ST power have that kind of firepower\power generation.

It wouldn't matter. The amount of firepower shown is insufficient to cause that amount of damage. Unless of course the planet was made up of Kleenex. As I mentioned before, the E-D(E) could withstand the firepower shown onscreen. Again explain to me why in an TNG ep that the E-D had to spend time configuring the phasers to drill into the planet's core if they could have easily done that by firing phasers unadjusted? The combined firepower thrown around in that scene in TDIC is what? low gigaton level? That isn't enough to wreck one third of the planet. Also your missile analogy is wrong. It is more like the fighter launches a missile into a densely clouded city then sees swirly patterns in the clouds and deduces that it must have destroyed one third of the city when in realty it did a whole lot less. It isn't like they've concentrated their attacks into one small area. It was all over the place. Each shot would not have punctured the planet's crust and cause massive damage unless again that said planet was made out of tissue paper. They were trying to kill off the Founders but instead were tricked themselves.

If their claim was accurate then we'd see a hell of a lot more than rippling of the clouds. Look at all the shots made. E-D(or even E-E) could survive that. Plain and simple, they were fooled into thinking that they had done anything. E-D alone needed to adjust the phasers so they could drill into a planet's crust. If the firepower was that good then a few unadjusted shots would have worked.

But she can be a two bagger. I'm sure her body is in great shape. Just don't look up.

There's a road in Ottawa that is separated by a cliff. The GPS map supposed to show it cut off and I'd have to drive around the cliff and continue on. Instead the GPS had it as one continuous road. If I was retarded, I'd have followed the directions and go off the cliff.

Mine tried to send me off a cliff.

Or 7 of 9, or Troi or Torres etc.....

I believe there is an aircraft carrier called the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Saw you what? Jacking off into a towel? If that is true then in this situation you should be asking RayCav. He's got first (and probably the right) hand knowledge of this.

If the star destroyer encounters the aircraft carrier in space then all they will do is scratch their heads and fly off.

You probably get turned on from all that Neelix\Janeway porn.

Fixed it for you.

Fight! Overall I'd say ST would win for once.

I'm not afraid of Mike. He is arrogant but that is who he is. I don't agree with him lots of times. He'll psycho-analyze you and ignore you if you tell him he's wrong. But then again I don't particularly care what he does since SDN is his site and he can do whatever he wants.

At least one SDNer has those pics under the link in his sig to his "Folder". Just don't know the name of the user.

You do know that there are SDNers that are also sickos? There's one that has what has been described "The folder". In it contains all kinds of images that are supposed* to be disturbing. At least another has a collection of hentai women being ripped to shreds. RayCav is sicker than them? *The pics didn't disturb me but it would for those more sensitive to such images.

You think that SDN is the end all, be all web forum? That we should just stick to SDN and screw the rest? Are ya a commie pinko bastard?

If you think that she's the best there is then I really do pity you.

I've heard of TK since my days at ASVS but recently I haven't been to their site. I did maybe about a month ago and I wasn't impressed. I haven't gone back since.

"My anus." Who plerbed the doofar?
