Wow. he's still at it?

He never lets anything go. It took him this long because that is how long it takes for him to form an incoherent reply.

Weep boook grok wanna greep boop grop granna trep twerpity derp derp.

Never mind, it just had something to do with the skin I was using.

Where'd you hide the rest of the body?

Ahh, I see this board has an inbreeder. Greeting, mutated inbred redneck spambot!

Attacking STL ships while at Warp...

Actually, it kinda melded both strafing and combat aspects.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Why not you look  The Star war complete cross section The spacecaft and vehice book of the entire Star Wars Sage by Hans Jenssen & Richard Chasemore or some  source information book Death star insides. It lot equement in order for it to work period.It depend primeary beam focusing magnet,magnetic shielding,target field generations ,carry beam cystel. For that matter single  Superlaser Tributary  beam shift knock out action the Death star it self unable us if super laser. A Defaint class starship main defector dish as weapon could do the  trick or worst. At best of case the Death star crew able to do repairs in space which take weeks at minimal more likely guess Death Star was not destory which also is possible they need return to base get repairs done. Either case the Death Star would being retreat guessing  safly used hyper drive of course Defaint class warship only getting started . Beam anti Matter mines inside Death star it self could possible disable hyperdrive now cause crew Death star did job that the rebel did in Star War new hope set Death star to self destroct in 10 minute and leave the Death star it self.

No.

I using Defaint class to be topic not pure a say caption by black man. For that matter caption blue man for all we care. Beside now think about the exhaust port not best target this case the big super laser might more ideal to knock out outs with hit main defector dish singe shot like knock the super laser leave much bigger hole for the Defaint class warship destory Death star with.

No.

Are you totally deaf now, Enigma? Or just partially? If you like, I can try to transcribe it for you, if that will help.

Almost total. Lost just about all hearing in my right ear and less than half remaining in my left. I'd have to plug in my headphones into the speakers but even then it isn't that good.

You are saying it was better than Season 0?

Is it just me, or is Jason getting more and more perverted?

He wants to out RayCav, RayCav.

Dunno. However, before Enigma claims that somehow in 80 years all the races in Trek somehow lost this ability, I'd like to mention how ridiculous that idea is.

Not going to claim that but somehow it may have been considered for a while that warp combat was to be impractical. The only instance in TNG that we know of was in the pilot which the E-D fired torpedoes at the pursuing Q while at maximum warp.

The use of torpedoes in warp is a given since the torpedoes have warp sustainers. Fired at warp the torps stay at that speed until the fuel is used up. But when shown in the pilot they were fired from behind or else if it was fired from their forward launchers the torps would not travel far enough as it is travelling at the same speed as the launching ship. Warp sustainers are what they are, they sustain warp.

I'm looking at the video you linked and since I can't hear what is being said, I'm only going by visuals. In the vid we see the E-Nil firing a torps at warp. This goes against everything about warp sustainers as the torps and phasers are fired faster than the ship itself.

Then again this does not negate what I had mentioned earlier as to how warp combat could be made feasible.

What I did find interesting was that despite the dialogue saying that they were at whatever warp (going by wording onscreen) the ships themselves do not seem to be at warp. In fact they looked more like they were at impulse than warp speed. Compare the E-Nil combat to the Prometheus to see what I mean.

Anyways, I never stated that it was impossible, I originally said that the weapons would have to be fired from the rear. I was corrected and then put up a theory as to how warp combat was possible since phasers have always shown to be STL and that torps fired at warp tend to fly at the same speed as the firing ship due to warp sustainers.

As to why it hasn't been used more often? Starfleet's run by idiots? Same as to why they don't bother creating gravimetric torpedoes (except by that one time in VOY)as it could do a whole lot more damage than photon or quantum torps. Another reason could be that Starfleet didn't think it was a viable method of combat and thus was largely abandoned until the Prometheus prototype.

Or lastly, maybe it has been used whenever possible except it is by the captain's perogative. That is why Kirk is most apt to use warp combat but Sisko, Janeway and Archer haven't used warp combat and Picard rarely utilizes it.

Speculation, speculation, speculum.

I stand corrected.

But it is contradictory when phasers are not FTL unless while at warp all ships are in the same layer of subspace tha they can fire their phasers.

What I am trying to say is that what I understand about warp travel is that when a ship goes into warp, the outward appearance would look like a ship going FTL but in reality it has entered into subspace in which travel is done STL but the distance is shorter, something like a fold space drive. So both ships in combat in warp are actually fighting STL but to an outside observer it is all a blur.

Confusing but I hope you can understand the babble. lol

So, could we use the word in the following sentence:

 

"Jason decommissioned his brain before joining online debates in order to be much better!"...

More like it was scuttled.

Unless the DF has accepted a couple of "Enlarge your Exhaust Port" E-mails and it has that capacity...

Now the moron switched from DF to Defiant. Lol. Just because the Defiant is captained by a black man, it doesn't automatically mean they can enlarge the exhaust port.

Do you think that they'll be able to use a cloaking device, fly at max impulse AND tractor a large asteroid at the same time? I mean, the amount of energy needed must be huge. Isn't that why cloaked ships can't use their shields nor use their weapons? Because the cloaking device uses up tremendous amounts of energy?

Nevertheless, any proof that any starship can fly at max impulse or warp while tractoring a huge object like an asteroid? E-D managed to use their tractor beam AND a warp\subspace shell on a stellar fragment (chunk of a star) and yet managed to barely deflect its path from a colony.

Did E-Nil at any point managed to fly at max speed while tractoring that asteroid?

Personally I do not think that an Intrepid Class nor any Fed ship has the power to tractor an object many times its mass and fly at max impulse or warp. The ship does not have the "horsepower" nor fuel to accomplish such a task.

It would be like attaching a trailer with a 2 ton load to a large car. Sure at best, the car might barely be able to pull the trailer and load if you start out slow but you'll be sucking up gas like no tomorrow and you'd be putting a lot of stress on its engine. Driving at full speed is not going to happen without trashing the car.

While the Intrepid may be able to move the asteroid, it would not be able to move it at any practical speeds to destroy the DS before it turns around and blasts it in to dust.

*BUT*, if you can construct an overpowered ship to offset such limitations then yeah, I can see the DS being destroyed. But then again it would be more fun to use that ship (along with enough shielding to soak up TLs) and tractor the DS into a nearby planet.

If they're dumb enough to fly in a straight line, yeah...

But if you read Jason's latest reply it means that the DF would have to fly in a straight line in order to fire its deflector dish to make a larger hole, unless of course you prefer the DF to fire its deflector dish while zig zagging around. Kinda defeats the purpose of trying to enlarge the exhaust port.

Then again it is an exercise in futility. There's no way the DF will be able to enlarge the exhaust port all the way down to the core. It isn't powerful enough nor have the time to do it. Then again Jason can dream right?

In VOY's "Message in a bottle" we see the Prometheus fire Phasers on a Nebula-class while at Warp...

Did it fire from the front or from behind? Phasers have never shown to be light speed or FTL.

If it is by ham, then Kirk wins. But if it is by combat, the only thing left of Kirk is his toupee.

The only way that warp strafing works is if phasers were FTL. They are not so unless the ships in combat decided to blows themselves up, the only it'll work if it is fired from behind, as the ship is moving away, otherwise, the moment the phaser is fired, it'll strike the ship that fired it.
