VitalSigns posted:Also the Borg Queen tries to tempt Data with poo poo the Borg don't even care about, like physical sensations, and sexy times, she just makes no sense. The most straightforward assumption is that the Borg made the queen in order to do some social engineering on Data since apparently they couldn't just crack his system. Easy enough for them to pretend to give a poo poo about how good having skin feels or whatever for long enough to get him to punch in the access codes on the Enterprise.

They're making a big deal about a stable wormhole's value but you'd think it wouldn't be as big of a deal if they already have FTL travel. I dunno maybe if it goes outside the classically observable universe or something.

I dunno maybe if it goes outside the classically observable universe or something. Space equivalent of the advent of commercial air travel. Sure, you can take a boat that will get you from London to New York in 6 weeks, bobbing up and down the whole time. Now you can get there in a day. Also, the wormhole is like 50+ years worth of travel, one way.

They made such a big deal about the advantages you can get as an empath but has there been a single time Troi gave the Enterprise an advantage in anything so far? Seriously. Even in this episode where she owned Creep at the end it didn't even matter because the wormhole was a dud and the agreement was already made.

Nessus posted:FTL still has relative speeds, until Janeway pillages her way through the Delta Quadrant there was a practical top speed/range limit on Federale ships since they burn antimatter to run the warp drives. I figure the Romulan ships also have some degree of crew endurance problems. It's heavily implied that the ships don't really have a range limitation: they have ramscoops to pick up fuel for the fusion reactors and I think they just make antimatter out of the energy from that? The Kelvans were also able to modify the Constitution-class Enterprise to get to Andromeda in 300 years, and there was no concern about fuel, only about running out of food supplies which was why they turned the crew into papermache shapes. The only limitation we've every really seen is that no one wants to be cooped up on a starship for decades, and maybe that there's not enough energy to replicate whatever you want and go warp 9 all the time so Voyager has to start stocking real food.

There's also the limitation of poo poo breaking down; if you're running with enough energy to power replicators and getting raw matter and all your components are easily replicable that's fine if you have a crew to install poo poo. Voyager supposedly didn't have much energy to spare for that, presumably because she wasn't willing to meander at Warp 5 in order to leave enough spare. Also, Voyager had some non-replicable components and occasionally would run out of critical rare elements or whatever.

Voyager should have been SOL within 10 years thanks to their insanely 90s additional of Biological Component Thinkpacks in the computer system. Guess you can turn the aeroponics bay into a cloning bay as well! Fed ships still need to refuel their Trilithium stocks from time to time, otherwise no matter/antimatter reaction in the warp core, so that's also a limitation. I think that also powers life support so even if you can potentially have the impulse engine putter along , everyone gonna be Fedsickles after they run out of juice.

FilthyImp posted:Even then, you'll eventually probably get to a point where something insanely important breaks and you just can't make a Warp Coil or a Multiphasic Relay or whatever other poo poo because of Rare Materials or complexity of systems. Probably, yeah, but it seems like most stuff can be repaired with time. On one episode it started with Voyager landed on a planet with her engines opened up and warp coils being pulled out and people working on poo poo, before the rest of the episode was about adventures on a shuttlecraft somewhere else. I always did like that little acknowledgement that they had to do stuff like that. They also say at one point they're ripping the gelpacks out of what they can and replacing them with chips at the cost of performance. Dilithium is recrystalisable in TNG and after, it was deliberately never meant to be an issue for 24th century ships. Life support runs fine on impulse power, but good luck getting anywhere on that.

I assume the Kelvans had space magic reactor tech they plugged in when they overcharged the 1701 to warp 13 or whatever.

Like, is she an ant queen banging all those drones all the time? Or does being in the collective just feel like a constant orgy and that's why everyone who is assimilated surrenders immediately because it just feels that awesome to be a Borg. Which come to think of it might have been a more interesting horror than what Trek actually did, if instead of feeling repulsed and violated because he was forced to help the Borg against his will, Picard admitted that being in the collective was the most amazing incredible experience ever, betraying the collective was the hardest thing he's ever had to do in his life, and he has to struggle with this constant craving to get back in there and become Locutus again. You mean like in the Nexus?
