Subject: Re: Imperial fleet Vs Federation fleet Author: capn hayes [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:53:18 10/01/02 Tue Author Host/IP: NoHost/207.14.48.2 In reply to: Warspite 's message, "Re: Imperial fleet Vs Federation fleet" on 09:47:38 10/01/02 Tue dude you can quote stupid websites all day and you still can't prove warp strafing is possible, in TNG era. If its such a great tactic why don't they use it more? Oh yeah your weak little reason because it works great againt ships without warpdrive a.k.a. Star Wars ships. Oh yeah you figured it all out didn't you. WRONG your "fataly flawed" reasoning has led you the wrong way down a one way street. How many times have we seen a good oportunity to see this tactic used against a stationary or ship without warp capability either because its lost is or doesn't have it. MANY, and how many times have we seen it used NONE! Your reason for not using it against DS9 "They were tring to retake or capture the station, NOT destroy it." A resonable answer, I' agree. But if Trek weapons are damned acurate as claim they are then disabling DS9 shouldn't have worried them and further more why would any commander suffer such heavy losses willingly if a tactic like warp stafing were available to him. Also the issue of sensors. In [TNG] "Final Mission" if trek sensors are so great then why, once the Enterprise arrived in the system, they couldn't detect the shuttle crash right off once they went to its last known position and found the debris, then deduced it wasn't destroyed they continued to search and took a guess whish planet to go to next. If sensors are so good they should have been able to pick it up from anywhere in the system cause it wasn't tring to hide. I mention this because you seem to think that ISD sensors are so bad or are inferior to treks because the couldn't pick up 12.5 meter fighter half a light year away. Somehow you figure either ISD's either don't have the range or capablility to find it. Well the fact that it didn't show up on their scopes does not prove either her sensor range or her ability to propagate a signal at FTL speeds only that she failed to notice the X-Wing 1/2 a light-year away. It has occured to me that you must realize just how weak and underpowered trek ships are or you wouldn't be tring so hard to defend things like warp strafing and other stupid ass shit to make trek ships look superior. They need those advantages because in a normal battle they'd be wiped out in seconds of engaging a Star Destroyer. Sorry but rabid trekling propaganda won't win this debate. Even picking only what YOU think is official adn what's not won't help you when you make a mistake, its a mistake and no matter what kind of crap you try and cover it up with or how you try and change the facts it's still wrong. My only advice is try and use common sense. Oh and remember giving examples ships having combat at warp doesn't prove warp strafing is possible, and quoting TOS well that's really grasping. But I commend your effort, and its amusing reading your little examples adnthey PROVE it DID HAPPEN. Oh and especially love how you pick and choose what is and isn't offical according to YOU. As long you keep making up the rules as you see fit sure your always right. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
