  1. It has been established on Star Trek that phasers can't be fired at warp because they travel slower than the speed of light. Therefore, only photon torpodoes can be fired at warp since they travel at warp velocity. Yet, on recent Enteprise episodes, such as Shockwave Part II and Future Tense, phaser fire is exchanged continuously while at warp. I have also seen this happen on Voyager, most notably in Basics Part I. Just something to ponder.  :D

    My question would be, were the phasers fired aft? If they fire them behind them then that may make a difference since the phaser beam will be traveling behind and away from the ship.


  2. Well Glad to see that all of our posts weren't lost in the 'move'..

    All the posts are still on the other site and I'm little by little in the next day or 2 going to move them over here. It's just taking time because of my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome :D but they're still there.


  3. Nice to meet you. I wigh I was able to watch all those shows where I live ST doesn't come on anymore. Enterprise comes on Wednesday TNG is always on ( THankfully) and Voyager comes on at 4am. So I wish you best of luck that they stay. I'm only 14 so my grammer may sound wrong. Sorry. I hope you enjoy this site as much as I enjoyed the old one. Have fun and Live long and love trek  :D

    Billy, if you are on a cable modem you might check out something like KaZaa for downloading of episodes. It can take hours to download a single episode but once you have it you don't have to worry about it T.V. is going to air it or not.


  4. :D  I followed the instructions at the old page and quite frankly i'm confused that one just started now it's been switched to this one which has now erased me from the books HELP!

    The other Message board host had too many problems, frequently couldn't be accessed and at times would give many errors when trying to post or send PM's. That one was a free host and I really couldn't complain to anyone since I wasn't paying for the hosting srevice. I found this host, which does charge me a small monthly fee for the hosting service but also gives us more room for posting, better service and more support. It also has a much nicer interface. Most of the issues that caused me to switch to the new format probably weren't seen by most of the users on the board but I personally wasn't happy with the service. This one though has me dancing in the streets!

     

    I'm sorry for the confusion of the switch so soon after start up but I think you will like this new interface MUCH more!

    Classic Kirk quotes on war

    « on: March 2, 2003, 12:36:19 AM » 

     

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    War is something we didn't want but we got.

    From "Errand of Mercy".

     

    In my opinion,no option.We are proceeding in the neutral zone.

    From "Balance of Terror".

     

    No,I will not kill him.

    From "Arena".

    Changing rooms Star Trek special

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hi everyone

     

    The producers of the makeover show changing rooms are appealing for trekkies to apply to them to have your living room made into a star trek lovers fantasy!!! All you have to do is log on to the website for the show and apply. They ask that you state clearly that you are only interested in the Star Trek special.  How cool is that!!!! I can't apply as my husband said if i do he'll divorce me,there's no way he can live with a star trek living room.l

  19. (Copied from the old board)

     

    Just a little basic info about me (if anyone is interested).

     

    My name is Kevin, I live in Southern Virginia USA (as the username indicates) and I love Star Trek... ALL Star Trek.

     

    I made these discussion boards to share my thoughts about all things Trek and to get your views also.

     

    If you'd care to share a little about yourself post a thread here in this section and share whatever you'd like.


  20. There has to be some TOS fans out here but this seems to be the least talked about series lately. What are some of your insights on TOS? I think it was a groundbreaking show, way ahead of it's time!
