Can hit cruiser with liitle problems so yea, galaxy class is not much of an issue. Also, you overestimate the size of the car I will accept that at low ranges many types of Eve weapons will cause massive damage if you can explain a mechanism by which said ship intends to get in range of a ship which has a sublight drive capable of 75mil m/s
Even using thrusters they are far faster, 14km/sec at least. Those sort of speeds would mean nothing short of low tier cruiser and frigate guns could track.
As for the argument that ST ships always seemed to be sitting still that was a SFX issue, from midway through DS9 the studio models where being phased out and replaced with CGI. So after that we started to see the more intense fights where ships moved around.

The fun thing is you can literally link to a modern ST video where FTL combat occurs, and they ignore it. They then link you a scene from a film released 21 years ago and go "well, my subjective opinion of this ancient SFX is that they aren't very fast" which is as hilarious as it is maddeningly naive and stupid.
I may as well say "I chose to ignore the m/s reading on the HUD and ergo my Rifter can only go 12m/s because my opinion is it doesn't look faster than a quick bicycle"
It's absurd. - "Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." -Soviet infantry manual, issued in the 1930's |

No, I'm arguing that what we see on screen is what is occurring.
You can say all the words you want, but none of it will change the fact that the actual movie very clearly shows the Enterprise, Excelsior, and the Bird of Prey in the same shot at extremely close range and not moving.
But fine, you don't like that movie? How about the opening battle in First Contact?

Oh hey, modern effects budget, CGI that gives the ability to show exactly what the director demands, and guess what we get: ships fighting at slow speed, and ranges less than the length of a Borg cube.
Jhagiti Tyran wrote:Even using thrusters they are far faster, 14km/sec at least. Those sort of speeds would mean nothing short of low tier cruiser and frigate guns could track.
If they can fight at 14km/s, why do they fight at much slower speeds so frequently?

Bull****.
There is no additional cost or difficulty involved in making FTL/high-speed battles. Whether or not it fits your fanboy ideas of how it "should" work, the producers of Star Trek made a deliberate choice to show battles happening at slow speeds and short ranges.
Khanh'rhh wrote:I may as well say "I chose to ignore the m/s reading on the HUD and ergo my Rifter can only go 12m/s because my opinion is it doesn't look faster than a quick bicycle".
The difference is that, unlike Star Trek, EVE actually does show those ranges and speeds on screen. You might think that the Rifter is slow, but that's your error in judging speeds.
In Star Trek, you might have dialogue that says one thing, but the images on screen show something entirely different. So, we have two choices:
1) Throw out one or the other as non-canon. Sure, this lets you throw out the troublesome images, but there's one huge problem: I can just as easily argue that the dialogue should be dumped. After all, if the images can be exaggerated for dramatic effect, it's just as valid to suggest that the dialogue is exaggerated for dramatic effect.
2) Accept both as canon. This means you have to somehow make the apparently-contradictory evidence fit together, and the only way to do so is to consider the dialogue an in-character error. Either the character in question accidentally said the wrong word (50km/s vs. 50km/h, for example), or the character is an incompetent moron. And given how many times Federation ships have been lost because of criminal incompetence....
Either way, there is absolutely no justification for saying the dialogue is the unquestionably "right" answer, other than your fanboy desire to give Star Trek bigger numbers.

As I've said before, I'm talking about relative speed. As in ship A and ship B can both be moving at 9999999999999999m/s, but their speed relative to each other (what matters for accuracy) is still extremely low.
And I notice you completely ignored the range issue. I'm not surprised, of course, given that it must really suck to be a fanboy and have to watch a video that shows weapon ranges of less than the length of the ship firing them. |

I am not even that into Star Trek any more so I am certainly not a fan boy, I just have to keep laughing at your attempts at making any old **** up.
If someone posted a "biplanes Vs Star Trek" thread you would come up with some way the machine gun bullets would get sucked into the engines or something similar.
Besides if both ships relative speeds are what matters how the feck does that = slower than EVE. You can either keep making **** up about how things appear (when theres no way to judge actual velocity) or you can take the more modest estimates of speed. I don't agree with the 1/4 light speed all the time idea myself but you refuse to even try and compromise,
If I am a fanboy I guess that makes you a rabid hater.
Therefore I just that Star Trek will always win because its better because of space magic and I win, /thread. |

With a 15 minute timer counting down until the inevitable loss of the ship.

The point is that even though Star Trek ships (like EVE ships) are capable of extremely high speeds, they don't seem to be very good at fighting at relative speeds that high. Just like EVE ships and their warp drives, Star Trek ships consistently have to slow down to laughably slow relative speeds before firing.
Quote:I will accept that at low ranges many types of Eve weapons will cause massive damage if you can explain a mechanism by which said ship intends to get in range of a ship which has a sublight drive capable of 75mil m/s
I already told you: by entering orbit around earth (and the homeworld of every other faction) and beginning orbital bombardment of civilian targets. The Star Trek ship can run away all it wants, but every second it isn't sitting at point blank range and low speed next to the EVE ship results in another few million civilian deaths. Eventually, the Star Trek ship's captain will have to either engage within the EVE's ship's ability to return fire, or concede the complete extermination of every single populated world in the Star Trek universe.
Not that it would come to that, of course. The Federation has no tolerance for the realities of war, and the order to surrender unconditionally would follow within minutes of the first orbital strikes. With a clear policy of massive retaliation in place, captain who stubbornly refused to obey the surrender order would find himself under the guns of his fellow officers long before any EVE ships would be involved. |

Well, most of the games at least. The rules for Starfleet Battles/Starfleet Command explicitly state that the ship models are scaled up so they're visually interesting (true-scale ships would be just a single pixel), and that ships fight at warp speed. A single range unit in those games is 10,000km, with range 0-1 being point-blank range where weapons automatically hit and do splash damage to your own ship, anything under about range 10 being close enough to deliver reasonable amounts of firepower, and maximum weapon ranges of 50-100.
Too bad we got all of the boring post-TOS Star Trek instead of new shows based on the SFB universe... |

So, let me get this straight: Voyager is closing at thousands of kilometers per second, opens fire, and then comes to a complete stop at point blank range just in time for the exterior shot, for no apparent reason. The closing speed that is shown in that clip (and all speeds later on in the fight) are much, much lower, and the ranges are less than a ship length.
If Voyager is capable of fighting effectively at 2000km+ range and 1000km/s+ speed, why is that only a tiny percentage of the battle (at most)?
Alternative explanation: the character reading out the ranges meant to say either "2000 meters" or "2 kilometers' (it would hardly be the first time someone mis-spoke in the middle of a stressful situation), which fits much better with what we actually see happening in the battle. |

He's not done his title of trekkie is at stake.
Also for a ship to fire at the ranges hes claiming it needs to be 8kms long apature capable of handeling the heat dispersion. So in a true design warship that would be soemthing the size of a titan maybe? and that is not even a turreted system.
Im sorry but throwing photons out that far is much less feasible than throwing warp drives at each other. I am more inclinded to belive photon (which is acutally an anti-matter reactor warhead according to you trekkies that have the technical bible) has the multi kilometer range.

Now then
Your super computer is an idiot trekkies, It was explained by photon torpedos have to mix their reactive warhead for at least 1 second and this is a visual consistently though out the entire series that when the targets are alot closer the warhead seems to go alot SLOWER to allow enough time to mix the reaciton. If your super computer cant slave in a phaser to slice that warhead in half wtf? wtf are you still using effing missiles for if it CANT EFFING TRACK A WARP DRIVE THAT CLOSE? Highly accurate lasers and smarter computers killed the carriers in honor harrigton series for the longest time in space warfare.
I mean seriously a warp drive is screamingly bloody mary on the the 'noise' level sensor wise within star treks own universe, eve hasn't demonstrate the technology but microwarp drives are massively noisy as well.
Also if its 30 isotonns why doesnt it do city scale destruction after punching though ship armor? Having nuke punch though the armor and go off is a kill shot and its been well proven that star trek ships have some pertty pathetic armor even on thier 'war ships.'
Movies have no excuse to say well its not in the budget or that nonesense. Im sorry but your directors where not creative enough to show interesting fights at such long ranges. A battlestar in the newest series was shoveling out with three base star in the first episode about 200kms out away from each other, thier distances are extremly much further apart than anything ever visually dictated in star trek ever and unlike star trek a battlestar doesnt magically dodge a missile and has consistenly showned that the mk1 eyeball is good enough to shoot down a missile.
Another thing I have yet to see the lucky kill shot in star trek that involves popping the interia stab mid break neck intant pancakes speeds.
Also shields in trek are significnatly weaker and more vunerable and are particle based. Also somone else has been an idiot and not designed radio active weapons that have clearly shown to go though trek shields.
Ill also state it again nobody miltiary minded has ever designed a real warship in star trek, not the romulans not the klingons and definetly not the defiant.
Also if trek sensors are so freaking accurate and working well why in the hell cloaks still work? After 40 years of contact with the technology as well.
Ultimately every time a trek goes into battle in the series people should have died in droves every time the shields dropped adnt hey got nailed they have way to many living spaces and didnt internally armored thier insides or actively SHIELD them either. Its a miracle thier super computer is smart enough to keep air inside god forbid they lose power with these not so good blast doors ajar.
Then electronic warfare? Why hasnt anyone done shield harmonics or counter harmonics? I am pertty sure most ST ships have a sig radius more massive than the ship itself where as most eve ships have passive stealthing until you get to the capitol classes.
Also if the federation where to fight eve all we have to do is ram into them.
You also forget the cyno field generation tech eve has.
And also note that there are alot of other technologies not mentioned yet thats in use in eve that would make trekkies go hmmmm. Caldari for example use black hole reactors similar to your romulans and the reactors in eve are in multiples and in more number so it really begs the question is how much standarization of measuring units we lost in the last 15k years in eve?
Who light year is it we're using? Whos AU, is our km correct? slew of other things that may not exactly survived three resets ( (three dark ages) in new eden.
Next up we could go hyper hypothetical bringing in eve's terrans in but that would make you trekkies cry.
I mean if a battleship sized weapon can sink 18kms of warship in a single shot along with her escorting tonnages I can see what it would do to the federations only shipyard.

ANDDDD here is the winner.
Because for that to be true, both ships would need to be capable of 9999999999999999m/s to begin with. Trek ships can do this, Eve ships cannot.

Merin, for your argument to make sense, we would need to accept that every time anyone has ever mentioned the speed they are travelling at, the distance they are firing to or any measurement anywhere, at any point in Trek's history, was a mistake.
Or, the counter argument is "that wouldn't look right on screen, so they're visually closer with respect to SFX"
To accept the first statement is a giant removal from the universe, to accept the latter is an obvious logical step.
Only, it would make Eve "lose" ... wouldn't it?
Who is the fanboy here? The person linking direct evidence from the material, or the person stacking endless suppositions on top of one another to make it work? - "Do not touch anything unnecessarily.
