Is it bad if I’m already thinking this is this year’s theme song

Edit: because I missed an opportunity.

“okay, so we’re doing the bad idea, yeah?”

Based.

Lethal Weapon and Batman Returns, too.

One of the ones with Paris’ holo novels?

This is why they got together and had salamander babies.

Janeway doesn’t care if he’s stupid, as long as his amphibian hindbrain can still make coffee.

It would depend on if the deflector shields in Star Wars work to disrupt transportation or not. (Also on phasers.)

Also the kind of effects ion weapons would have.

Also the empire was never meant to actually be a competent military. Their vehicles are designed for terror, not practicality. Their pilots and infantry are all incompetent and mass produced.

In short they were actually designed to fail.

In any case, there’s too many assumptions that have to be made to put them in the same universe and that’s going to go which ever the way the judges want it to go.

I just fantasize about Miles having several thousand torps just transport in a cloud and zip off to eagerly suicide into something - and Kira’s snark, or maybe just have her glare with a twitchy eyebrow.

Loved the idea of it. The execution left something to be desired.

Would have loved to see miles, Dax, and Worf pull something like the Delta flyer, only to become the Defiant, though.

But really only as long as Miles gets to weaponize the transporter.

(I wonder how many torps a cargo transporter could drop off just outside the hull. Imagine dumping entire holds of the things only to replicated them again. Especially doing so from cloak.)

(I can hear the naysayers being like “but thebtorpedos wouldn’t have a starting velocity!”… ask how people get transported onto planets without going splat into the nearest vertical surface.)

I did not know that.

Somehow that makes it even more ridiculously love-hate for me.

Honestly, I have a love-hate relationship with the ds9 defiant

I love it because it stepped away fro Roddenberry’s rules for feddie ships. ( nacelles in even numbers, must have a saucer-section, nacelles must have LOS, etc.) I also love that it’s unapologetically a warship.

I hate that the front end was kitbashed from the most useless of vacuum cleaner attachments.

Santa knows his cookies.

That’s just the pattern buffer.

O’Brien has taken over the ship.

“I think you’re about to go where every sausage has gone before.” -Susan Ivanova

Oh. wait. this is trek quotes… ah well.

what if it’s friendship with sausage?

As a side note, the reason closing devices were given up was because the federation didn’t see a need for them. Sneaking wasn’t something that was considered essential.

Because their warships didn’t need to sneak.

Firstly, pressman wasn’t acting alone on developing the cloak. They wen through what would have been the “normal channels” for “ sensitive research” and more or less had federation approval.

So it’s not entirely pressman’s fault.

Also, while the Feddies should never have signed that treaty, they should have abided it after it was signed.

Also, also, Picard made a unilateral decision to leak knowledge of the cloaking device to the Rommies, rather than report it to what passes for an inspector general.

It’s a miracle Picard’s action didn’t spark another war.

This is because Worf is a micro brain and thinks turbovators go faster.
