Oh, that's right. There is another science fiction staple out there that I'd forgotten about. Can't think how it might have slipped my mind...Originally posted by DinoDoc

Poorly designed? How does the rugged simplicity of a Star Destroyer or Executor compare to the vulnerable appendages of the monstrosities in Star Trek?Originally posted by DinoDoc

That's because it didn't have shields; I'm talking just from a basic design standpoint. To me a rugged prism would be a lot more difficult to disable than a ship composed of a disc connected to six separate shafts. Supposing that neither had shields or that both had equally strong shields, I know which one I'd rather be on in a battle.Comment

I'd rather have the one that has never been taken out by a single fighter and the one that has a secondary command system.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

I don't care what allegedly happened in some fictional la-la-land, this is just basic spatial thinking here. It's like choosing between a battleship or a trimaran before going into Leyte Gulf.Comment

I'd take the trimaran, as anything bigger would probably get sunk by the carriers over the horizon
Also, the Executor DID have shields, but they were down at the time.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Fine, assume it's one bigass trimaran. The point is that being an array of shafts and joints makes a vessel or spacecraft flimsy and vulnerable compared to a single mass.
That, and Star Trek also sucks in a general way.Comment

You fail at getting around the fact a single fighter took out a less flimsy and vulnerable super capital ship.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

You fail to get around the fact that a single Q made the flimsy and more vulnerable ship disappear into thin air.Comment
