That isn't proof. Doesn't matter if they adapted, they can still fire! Drop dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praeothmin 532 Posted March 7, 2010 Given how we've never seen the earth defenses fight off anything, the borg, v'ger, whale probe, the breen. All we can really say is the defenses are poor/ineffective Although, as fas as I remember, we've never heard anything about Earth's defenses before DS9. That could be because they were only installed prior to, or at the beginning of the Dominion War... I've never seen any evidence of defenses in the TOS era (movies included). So they may simply be late additions... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 27 Posted March 7, 2010 Unlikley because General Martok remarked on the daring of the act, saying "even my people never attempted that." Suggest around during Caption Kick days. Effective able to destory Kligon starship easily.My link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyralak 12,068 Posted March 7, 2010 I was actually going to bring up that General Martok quote. The fact that the Klingons wouldn't even have dared attack Earth does show that there was some deterrent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 27 Posted March 7, 2010 Knowing how tough Klingon warships are it shows that Earth Defense very effective to be able hold Klingon warship at bay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Questor 501 Posted March 7, 2010 I was actually going to bring up that General Martok quote. The fact that the Klingons wouldn't even have dared attack Earth does show that there was some deterrent. Something in the back of my mind also suggests that there were mentions of them in TMP and TVH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enigma 521 Posted March 8, 2010 I was actually going to bring up that General Martok quote. The fact that the Klingons wouldn't even have dared attack Earth does show that there was some deterrent. Some but what kind exactly we do not know. The best deterrent they need is some sort of "Home Fleet". A fleet of shirt range but highly powerful ships stationed in Earth's orbit. They don't need to leave the system but patrol it. That and countless orbital platforms and ground based phaser cannons and planetary shielding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 27 Posted March 10, 2010 This might be the kind of Earth surface defenses. Order for this to make any sense thought nearly have to be hundrend times more powerful. Being able to destory Breen capitil starship before even reach orbit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 27 Posted March 10, 2010 Watch this vidoe one minute and 36 secounds to about one minute and fourty one secounds. This might be the kind of Earth surface defenses we expect. Order for this to make any sense thought nearly have to be hundrend times more powerful and have a lot longer range hit target before reach earth orbit. longer range.. Being able to destory Breen capitil starship before even reach orbit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 27 Posted September 3, 2010 in this vidoe form 4 minute and 32 secounds to about 4 minute 43 secounds.List chief security on NX Enterpise say he could vapirize us. So does any have idea how much heat to vapirize a NX class starship. http://www.startrek.com/watch_episode/Cf4uRB89Q4__cWZazXPbrBzmjrAyg_aB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 27 Posted November 10, 2010 I found more evidence Earth surface defense most likley would be phaser batties. If you wish see evidnce watch this vidoe form 55 secounds to about 1 minute and 2 secounds. So if Cestus 3 surface defense phaser batties most likley surface defense Earth have as will. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX7dFqq-c0s&feature=related Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
