I don't particularly like the show, but I like some of the comedy in it. Phlox is my favorite, just because the male doctors always seem to be more humorous, and less "motherly"

According to the Next Generation Technical Manual The skin of the ship is "Gamma Welded" together, so yes, they fuse the new metal on.

I was reading in the Next Generation Technical Manual that the living space inside the Enterprise D is suspended inside the outer hull, with empty space all around. My guess is that this could be used for expanding decks, however I know it helps with absorbing the forces exerted on the ship so the crew isn't hurt as mutch.

I had a hard time choosing between the dermal regenerator, warp drive and holodeck. I ended up choosing the holodeck, because I'd love a place where you can participate in an interactive, 3-D story.

ok, but i think we need to return to the "current year" that is 2380....there's still a heck of alot of exploring to do

I think it might be interesting if Starfleet could find a way to mimic caretaker's technology, and have a starbase in the Delta Quadrant. In a few more years after Voyager.

As for an earlier statement about the Ablative Hull Armor, it only covers and protects vital areas.  It is visible on the ship just got to  know what your looking for.  Take the Saucer section for Example there is a strip on the left and right sides toward the rear.  They stick out farther than the rest of the hull.

Not true. The ablative hull armor covers the entire hull. Think of it as a second layer of the ship's skin. The "strips" are pieces to strengthen the main frame of the ship. probably in this case to compensate for the stresses of separation.

The Intrepid class is 343.1 meters long and 66.2 meters high, however the Nova class is 34 meters high by 140 meters long. Voyager is small, but yes, the Nova class is smaller.

I thought only two of the sections were warp capable. Only two warp cores would make sync-ing much easier. Of course, warp fighters fly in closer formations than those warp cores. If the sections shared a warp core it might solve the problem. A core with two or three reaction chambers united into one so that each could be closed off and separated into two or three separate, but perfectly sync-ed warp cores. Just a theory.

Just for everyone's information, I know as a fact that voyager's decks are slightly taller than some other classes. Also, The USS Voyager is approximately the same legnth as the saucer section of the Galaxy class is wide, and they are approximately the same thickness. Yes the intrepid class isn't (by comparison to our ships) small, but it is in reference to most of it's starfleet cousins.

The Defiant's cloaking device probably wouldn't work with the Prometheus's newer, better sensors. Also, each of the Prometheus' sections when in Multi-vectored assault mode would be about the size of the Defiant, leaving the Defiant out numbered and out gunned.

Do you know what bothers me? The writers don't care what we think about these shows as long as we watch them. And we all watch them to see if they get better.

Does anyone know if there are any Trek board games?

I suppose so. I forgot to take into account, also, the difference of technologies. Point taken.

Well, I just was watching the TNG episode where Data is proven to have rights. In this Episode he is referred to as a toaster and Pinochio. I seriously doubt that people in the 24th century would know what, at least, a toaster is. Anyone know of any other 20th century phrases?

Also, It wouldn't be very hard to assimilate Darth Vader... He's already mostly machine.

The plot was dumb, but the aliens looked decent. The acting wasn't that great(but when is it with Scott Backula?) However, I loved the trick with the transporter.

I had a very funny thought. What If the Borg came over as well as Voyager? I'd hate to go up against an assimilated Star Destroyer.

I truly believe that we sould try to build a station on the moon, so at least the communication with the mars probes will be easier at times.

That is discussed in the previously mentined articles.

I think the destruction of the USS-Valiant NCC-75416. That was crushing.

You know... I don't get what is so special about the animated series, it doesn't look to be that good.

Now... now... I'm not quite sure that's appropriate lt_van_roy.

I find the first Q theory, and the Under-Resourced Creator Theory to be most believable. The creator being, of course, Gene Roddenberry.

Now now... This is a discussion of theories, not a place for challenges.

My mom hates DS9 because she thinks there are too many Ferengi.
