But transporter-cloning Tuvix and and splitting one gets THREE allies. 🤭
Obviously, you hang in the castle for a bit so you can go over to the ion storm later with a full understanding of context.
I probably shouldn’t have thrown in the word “now”; what I meant to say is FOSS formats are so good that the existence of RAR is ridiculous.
No - so long as the Federation has transporters and warp drive (realspace FTL in Star Wars lingo), they can probably pull it off.
If they could beef up their runabouts, that might help too.
I know this topic has been beaten to death online and honestly discussion is pointless, but I’m convinced the Federation could beat the Empire solely based on these two things:
- Warp drive travels FTL through what Star Wars would call “realspace”; not only does this provide Federation starships extreme tactical maneuverability (Picard maneuver and the like), but if a starship warped away far enough, the Empire might struggle to pursue with hyperdrive.
- The Federation has transporters - I’m not sure imperial shield would be design to protect against e.g someone beaming a bomb (or in dire cases, the warp core) onto a Star Destroyer or whatever.
I’d say the major difficulties are 1) Starfleet has nothing like a tie fighter except runabouts, which aren’t (yet) designed for combat. 2) The Federation might try to negotiate while the Empire does some sort of secret operation.
I don’t even play STO, but I felt the urge to say: Wow, Voyager with an article in front just feels so wrong for some reason, which is weird because that’s not true of other ships; we here them say “the” Enterprise, “the” Titan, “the” Defiant, “the” Cerritos, etcetera.
However, Voyager is just Voyager and it sounds wrong any other way for some reason.
That might me it - when I search older media, say The Andy Griffith show, sure enough there are a crap ton of plates.
It might be a sort of Venn diagram thing - Trek/Wars plates came at the dusk of the commemorative plate era, while the fans were more likely than others to buy collectibles like plates, making them seem unique from other fandoms.
I just realized another thing about April - assuming humans live 120 years on average in the Trek universe and April got turned roughly 20 in Counter/Clock, an elderly April could still be alive in the 2360s or 70s.
I never get why people use RAR anymore when tar archives are good now.
Loved when LD:Crisis Point: Rise of Vindicta poked fun at this.
Although honestly, moderately enjoy at least the first Abramsverse film - not peak Trek, but fun enough. For a while, I thought Pine was the best Kirk performance in the franchise, but then SNW Kirk grew on me with the La’an episode and I think it’s tied.
