/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Pure deathmatch? The Galaxy-class.
Cardassian Nor-class stations are strong, but not mobile. They wouldn't be able to repair against a series of guerilla attacks in rapid succession from an enemy who's got firepower to burn and warp energy to spare.
Nothing there except maybe the Intrepid can lay down a measure of the firepower a Galaxy-class has. Adding in secondary vessels, full torpedo loadouts, and even the possible crazy tactics like venting antimatter, it's barely a question.
It doesn't matter how nimble you are when your enemy just launches five thousand quantum torpedoes at you.
Unless you pull a Picard Maneuver or something and trick the opponent.
Five. Thousand. Torpedos.
They'll just bomb the crap out of both ships. Carpet bomb the area - and don't forget that quantum torpedos partially phase into subspace, so that's gonna be great when you try and pull the warp trick - and it doesn't matter how many illusory ships you pull up. You're still farked. Then there's the fact that each one of those "claws" has multiple phasers on it - way more than the galaxy class' 12 arrays.
Way of the warrior they take out eight klingon battle cruisers in about a minute and half and they're trying to AVOID a war. Picard maneuver my arse.
photons, i wonder why they never equipped ds9 with quantum, they also had alot of phaser batteries, plus a shield that withstands dominion weapons.
