Depending on how it's built and a ton of other factors a ship could absolute "take a nuke." There's no shockwave in space, so you're just dealing with the heat/radiation. If your hull can absorb that heat it's going to be ok. The main problem will of course be the crew cooking long before the ship is physically destroyed. If you want to destroy the ship you want something with a lot more armor penetration, something like a "bunker buster" or a railgun or a nuke set to go off as the 2nd phase after some sort of shaped charge helps blast a hole through the hull.

Also a smooth outer hull actually has advantages. If you're trading projectile weapon shots at each other, just like with tanks, angled armour can turn a penetrating hit into a deflected hit, while things like ribs would create bullet traps which you don't want. You want poo poo to hit at an angle and glance off, which would actually give a functional reason for more sleek ships.

The Pegasus is rib-free and a hell of a lot nastier than the Galactica, firepower-wise.

Set and character design at its absolute peak. The answer is that the new Star Trek series needs the designs to be done by the Jim Henson creature workshop.

Robert Beltran on the series finale - "This is what we're going out with?"

Robert Beltran on his scripts - "I wouldn't say I had a bitter taste about the show, but it makes me a lot less caring about the show when the writers don't seem to care about all the cast. When that happens, I check out right away and give as little as possible emotional involvement as I can. So I would have to say, honestly, that for probably the last two or two and a half years, I haven't quite read a full Voyager script. It's not necessary, because I already know what's going to happen. I don't want to put myself to the aggravation."

Robert Beltran on his character - "Although they come up with a scene here or there that's tolerable, I think the character has not progressed since season four. In fact, he may even have regressed a little."

what's the best episode of voyager? Is it the one where tuvok gets marooned with the alien children who are actually old people from a race who ages backwards? Or is it the one where Tom Paris needs to explain to someone who the nazis were?

Mortal Coil;

Seven brings Neelix back from the dead, after watching Janeway think very hard about whether they should bother trying, and he goes on a vision quest after learning there is no afterlife to try and cope. His own mind insists he kill himself immediately, providing definitive proof that even Neelix hates Neelix.

Yo, so what I don't get about this already sub-par show that I know nobody is actually talking about at this point other than the literal 24/7 marathon BBC America is doing is that it, a) wastes the poo poo out of its premise until you got some tittayz on display and basically leaned on the Borg for all the good plotlines, and b) goes back to that loving well on holodeck fantasies getting out of control that people just loving went over the moon for during TNG and just DOUBLES-loving-DOWN.

IIRC, her armor was being stripped because she was being turned into a museum ship and no longer needed it. Same reason the one hangar pod was unused and full of antiques in the early part of the show.

Seems strange that they would be stripping the armour off the hull. You don't want to go to visit the USS Missouri and see a bunch of exposed decks where the armour was. Did they actually come out and say that? It would sort of make sense I guess.

Battlestars are a fair sight bigger than an aircraft carrier, and it's probably raw metal they could recycle into an actively-serving Battlestar that wasn't half-museum.

Strangely, the battlestar Columbia also had the part-armor-part-rib look during the Cylon war.

Ah well. Once again, we're probably putting more thought into this than the actual showrunners did.

Probably just re-using the CGI model for Galactica and assuming nobody will sperg out about this like we currently are.

Somebody started a Galaxy Quest thread and I am cross posting my amazing find from Wikipedia. There's a section of Star Trek cast member's quotes about Galaxy Quest.


"I thought it was very funny, and I thought the audience that they portrayed was totally real, but the actors that they were pretending to be were totally unrecognizable. Certainly I don't know what Tim Allen was doing. He seemed to be the head of a group of actors, and for the life of me I was trying to understand who he was imitating. The only one I recognized was the girl playing Nichelle Nichols."
— William Shatner

"I was rolling in the aisles. Tim Allen had that Shatner-esque swagger down pat. And I roared when the shirt came off, and Sigourneyrolls her eyes and says, 'There goes that shirt again.' … How often did we hear that on the set? [Laughs.]"
— George Takei
