  1. Umm, actually i think most star trek viewers are conservative or moderate. At least, that's what was shown in the facts last time. And as Air America goes, they are, well, let me just say that they resorted to suing a radio station. One they owed money to, in order to stay on the air.


  2. I went with the sovereign, although i might've picked the prometheus if it was up there. I went with sovereign cause i remember reading somewhere that (unofficially) scotty helped design the ship, that makes for a BIG plus in my opinion :bow: . That would also explain it's resemblance, to a degree, to the constitution class.


  3. Jim's right, in fact, that's how all the space stations to date have been built, they make the required module on the ground and then launch it up to space where it's attached. But if the ship was of the right design and size, we could build the whole thing on the planet and then send it off (like if it's designed like a blended-wing body, only with a steeper angle of the wing, and only with 1 or 2 decks).


  4. I know this was mainly designed for collecting deuterium in space, but why not use some sort of bussard collector? It's designed to use electromagnetism to bring stuff into a container, but it wasn't exactly designed for that.


  5. Is it possible? I think so, but i think the acurate question should be, Is it feasible? We'd either have to get all the parts from all current accelerators (electronics, magnets, etc) or we'd have to build several more of them, and seeing as how energy intensive they are, i'd say right now doing so would be beyond feasible, unless you want to can the medical, educational, and combative departments.


  6. I think the next "revolution" in transportation will be quantum slipstream, but not after the federation takes another crack at "fixing" the currently used warp scale et cetera. Which could hold back slipstream travel for, oh, till at least the mid-25th century.


  7. Well, i'm not sure, it depends on the definition really. I guess (with lack of a definition) i would be, in a way. I am more open to possibilities, but i also still believe in Christ (more in the "i just recognize Christ and God then anything else" kinda way). Having heard about several possible books that were left out for what (to me) seem to be political reasons of the time, i just stick to these 2 points and if there's anything truthful i'll let God himself tell me.


  8. I don't know what paramount's thoughts are regarding merchandise, but on starbase34.com the owner had a letter, from paramount, stating they had a problem with websites that had "licensed trek media." That could mean anything made by paramount of course, but i think some things like tv episodes, music, etc that's been on tv is pretty much fair game, and i'm not talking about movies, although some things on it could fit into this. Btw, the owner of the site had to close it down for budget reasons. Is a bummer cause his site was one of the better ones :flex: .


  9. Haven't, and hope i never do, but if it happens in the future i hope i at least have a stun batton (with variable charge selection, i don't want to have all the different versions) with me to make sure the person isn't able to do anything. And maybe having some karate skills could help also :flex: .


  10. The way i see it, the jenolen, as well as many other vessels of that era, had a certain refresh rate for the shields, and scotty with the knowledge of that refresh rate was able to time the transport just right. And since the transporters of the

    Ent-D are a fair amount more advanced they were probably capable of fitting with-in that refresh rate.


  11. I picked 'Mostly Carnivore'. The way i see it is, i'd rather an animal die fairly quick and end up on my plate then see a news story about them dying miserably and painfully due to over-breeding, not enough shelter or the misc other things which are much worse ways for them to die, not to mention in these senarios the meat just goes to waste. Btw, there are creatures that are dying from disease because of over-population, just so you know.
