Oh boy!

>>84515309
One of many, many problems with this show was how hull plating behaved exactly like shields, complete with them being able to divert energy to reenforce it. Why claim it's different if it's going to behave exactly the same?

>>84517753
>We don't have photon torpedoes, we have photonic torpedoes. Completely different!
>We don't have phasers, we have phase pistols. Completely different! (Even though they even have "stun" mode)

>>84517753
Hull plating technology was the basis of shields and evolved contemporarily with turbolaser tech.
>>84517866
You're just an idiot.

>>84516122
>I just love how much of a smug asshole this guy was.

seems like that's all starfleet captains

>>84517753
>behaved exactly like shields
>crew get transported and kidnapped through polarized hull
Yeah totally the same!

>>84518154
>implying shields ever stopped someone from beaming and kidnapping people if the plot required it

>>84518015
It's plating. On the hull. When it fails that means it's been penetrated or blown off the hull and that in turn means you shouldn't have it five minutes later when you get into the next fight. Shields on the other hand are an energy bubbles coming from one or more generators and unless those are destroyed it's just a matter of repairing the generators or recharging them. So "hull plating" should have been measurable inferior to shields yet in Enterprise it was superior in almost every engagement.

>>84518154
This literally never happened except when they were dealing with future technology that wouldn't be stopped by shields anyway. Either "hull plating" stopped beaming or else no one had the tech to do it anyway.

>>84518229
>>84518269
You're an idiot.

>>84518293
No, just someone pointing out a problem with the show. Does that bother you?

>>84515309
I think you mean polarize the fanbase.

>>84519353
It's just DS9 tards who don't like it. The rest of the fanbase loves it.

>>84519391
I'm not big on either one of them but I dislike Enterprise more because it screws with the continuity so bad you'd think they completely lost the series bible.

>>84516122
because it has the worst fanbase

>>84518154
In First Contact they managed to beam the Worf and the Defiant crew onto the Enterprise through the shields. Unless you think they actually lowered them while trading blows with a Borg cube.

"Polarize" it suggests basically putting giant sunglasses on the plating.

Shields are energy bubbles...now. But I don't think they were in TOS. That had to wait for CGI to create them.

Note all science fiction uses these now so the writers can get away with not having their invasions get killed by gut-liquefying MOABs and guided missiles and stuff that can penetrate dozens of steel-reinforced concrete before even exploding.

polarize the hull: Make it either negative or positive charged.
If it's charged for example negatively it will repel negatively charged things. The problem is it will attract positive things. That's why they change the polarity continuously. Thing will go around the ship if those things are charged.

>>84525412
That's perhaps a poor choice of words for the naming, then. "Ionize" or something like that might have been better.

With sufficient counter-ionizing, they could counteract ion or plasma beams' destructive power. It would do nothing against lasers (but "polarizing" would) and would not protect against the kinetic impact of the beams, just the chemically destructive nature of the ions.

>>84520852
That's friendlies. They can sync shield frequencies.

>>84517866
they got stun at the end as a homage to the series obv

>>84525412
>>84525599

Pretty sure polarization is done against certain types of energy weapons.

The same way sunglasses reduce light intensity reaching your eyes.

Silly Trek question thats always bugged me-
Do the 'shields' protect against physical projectiles?
I know they can stop any kind of energy by pushing a button and shouting some science shit, but has there ever been a weapon that fucked up the ship with plain old fashioned missles or nukes?

>>84525108
lol

>>84527105
The Deflector makes all physical matter bounce out the way. It's mentioned once in ENT when it fucks up and moving the ship causes a load of fractures as space dust starts smashing into it.

>>84527105
Considering the shields are basically superpowered versions of nav deflectors, and nav deflectors are designed to deflect debris out of the ships path...

Torpedoes generally can't penetrate shields, but iirc there are some types that can fly right through them.

>>84527030

Started with hull plating

Moved onto energy shields

Then Voyager showed that in the future they went back to physical armor

Circle of life

I just got to ENT after watching through all of Trek (except Voyager, I can't bear that shit) and I have to say it's easily my third or perhaps second favorite Trek. it still feels very much like Trek in tone (unlike for example SGU which didn't feel like Stargate at all), but at the same time it turns down the autism levels and manages to feel infinitely more realistic and relatable than the other shows. turns out you can do a Star Trek where people come across like real people and not autists on valium in pyjamas trying to fix the tech problem of the day that wouldn't even exist without technobabble in the first place. figures why autists hate this show. the widescreen bluray experience is also quite refreshing after sitting through TOS, TNG, and DS9 in 4:3.

even the song is great, fuck you

Klingon men have periods, and it is not gay at all it is very honorable

>people trying to over-analyse technology in star trek

If you do that then there's a million flaws in the show. eg there aren't surfveillance cameras in every room and corridor, nobody ever uses the teleporter to just beam monsters/aliens into space to kill them etc

That's why all the best episodes were not about the technobabble.

>>84528464
SGU felt like Stargate again by S2. That show was going places and the possibilities were fucking endless. Fuck Syfy.

>nobody ever uses the teleporter to just beam monsters/aliens into space to kill them
the ship's internal sensors are always conveniently down whenever an alien boarding party is present and you can't just teleport someone off an enemy vessel that has working shields, even if you could it would be pretty un-starfleet

Where does the enterprise crew is shit meme spew from? It was the most relateable crew since the OS. Given the run time of DS9 it would have had similar character development. Despite how GOAT TNG is it's the Trek with the worse characterisation actually.

>>84532096

>>84531617
They had "peace" at the price that they could never leave the compound because neither society would accept them. So in reality they were still prisoners. Letting their children go was the only way in which they could spread their message of bringing both sides to peace as well as give them an actual future instead of remaining a prisoner of the compound.

>>84532291
lol yeah. the first seasons of TNG was shit, it was so shit I abandoned 5 times the series, before finale getting past it

>>84532191
Travis is garbage, T'Pol is borderline garbage, otherwise solid crew

>>84530718
I once heard he was supposed to become part of the crew at a certain point.

>>84532423
T'pol is the comfort Vulcan on the enterprise. Very important keeping the morale up (and penises)

>>84532191
Enterprise: Let's put the closed minded and racist guy who jumps to conclusions that it's aliens fault all the time as the captain of our first ship to explore deep space who will also act as an ambassador of our entire species. Let's also have most of the crew also be a bunch of idiots

TNG: Let's put the renaissance man who can anything required as a captain as the captain of our flagship. Also let's put the best and brightest on board as senior his staff.

>>84532543
>the best and brightest

>Captain, I sense emotions!

Luckily the writers figured out Travis was a garbage character and greatly reduced his role by season 3

>>84527105
>nukes
In TOS when they meet that pilot from the 20th century Spock mentions that the aircraft is armed with nukes and they could damage the hull.........If I remember right.

>>84532678
Well considering Picard almost never chooses anything connected to what they're about he always makes the right pick.

>>84532742
She they surrounded their renaissance man with retards intentionally so he'd always do the opposite of what they said?

>>84532423
T'Pol is good and really bad. Travis is just a chill guy.

>>84532775
Two people out of the rest of the staff. I wouldn't say that's surrounding him. Also I don't know why Troi is senior staff besides her being a main character. Like why would a counselor be a a part of planning a strategy in a combat situation?

>>84530591
I am afraid that Star Trek in the current climate will be impossible to discuss on 4chan, regardless wether is good or not.
Male characters in a female body, people with no or more than 2 sexes, interracial relations, actually trying to make peace and not just fight war against everyone...things that have occurred in the past series but in this next series....writers might act upon the current events and insert their opinion, which is not necessarily a bad thing if done well and tastefully, but there will be droves of shitposters trying to make it all mere propaganda.

>>84532543
You have Gene Roddenberry tier autism. Archer was GOAT humanity before the federation. The show is about his journey towards being the sort of humanist god Picard started out as.

>>84524605

Some bro sport like Rugby.

>>84532953
I dunno man. Even if humanity wasn't at Picard level at that time, the fact they still went for him as their go to guy to represent humanity was pretty fucking dumb. Archer seemed like he had next to no diplomatic training whatsoever. Seems more like it was more of a seniority thing rather than "we want the best man for the job."

>>84533078
He was a star ship captain. A pilot, a man involved in ship design and a military man. He went after his mission in that frame of mind fighting for survival. Picard is unhumanly perfect sometimes and with the exception of the Borg arc seems to have gone beyond fear (per roddenberry's vision). Archer on the other hand appears far more concerned for and protective of his crew in a hostile universe in which humanity is constantly put on the back foot. Both were good captains for the challenges of their respective eras.

>>84516122
Because it dropped a ball?
Original Trek (and to an extent, TNG) was a series of moralistic parables comparing and contrasting the real world's geopolitical tensions.

>Klingons = Russians = Cold War
>Feremgi = Capitalism = 80's Cocaine Future
>Borg = MORE Capitalism + dehumanization via computers

But Enterprise was given the fattest possible opportunity and pissed it down its leg?

>Klingons = Taliban/Al-Qaeda = War on Terror with contrasting elements of Expansionism/Protectionism

What'd we get, though? Because it wasn't fucking that. It was so detached and removed from such an obvious contrastible narrative that it did not engage people. And non-engaged people do not watch. Also it was generally boring.

>>84542409
Movie Picard =/= TV Picard

Picard in First Contract completely forgot about every other encounter with the Borg after Best of Both Worlds. In I, Borg he's actually given the chance to wipe out the Borg once and for all but when he meets with a Borg that's been disconnected and shows signs of being a free thinking individual he realizes the Borg have a right to exist. Movie Picard's views on the Borg is a blatant Moby Dick allegory to make it seem like it's a "smart" action movie.

So when it comes to leaving all that evidence of the Borg on the planet, TV Picard would not let remain. TV Picard is all about doing it by the book. Hell he even follows the correct procedures such as staying on ship when sending an away mission, even for first contact. Movie Picard is basically Kirk but to the EXTREME, so any logic is thrown out the window.

>>84542800
in the movie he does order to sweep the planet to recover all the borg stuff and Enterprise possible traces

Define "spamming" in a Star Trek thread.

>>84544578
Making a post whose content is identical to at least 10 of your previous posts.

10 is an arbitrary number but I think that it works here. The only people who ever go that far are you and Soren.

>>84544796
And who makes that determination? You? And under whose authority? Yours?

>>84544887
No authority. "Stop spamming, please" is a request, not an order.

FYI: UPN increased the playback speed of season 2 by 5%, season 3 by 10%, and season 4 by nearly 15%, all in order to put more ridiculous, hawking commercials into the hour, as if the show wasn't already rendered hard to watch by the excessive number of ads they squeezed into season 1.

If you are able to adjust the playback spped without effecting pitch (by using VLC player for example) I would suggest that if you manually reduce the playback speed of season 2 to .96, season 3 to .92, and season 4 to .85, you will find the action/dialog is much more natural.

Eat shit I love DS9 and I love ENT. Enterprise probably wouldve surpassed my love for DS9 if they were able to have shown the founding of the Federation in the following seasons.

The distrust between vulcan and human relations and the launching of the first warp 5 vessel was a great startup point and the Xindi War was an excellent mid series arch. It is criminal that Voyager received 7 seasons and ENT was cancelled.

Nope, the games are metaphors representing what kind of captain they are.

Sisko just uses blunt force
And Janeway playes a children's game with other children.

>>84560160
That's called character development.

Interesting fact: Vaughn Armstrong, who played Vice Admiral Maxwell Forrest, was originally considered for the role of Ambassador Soval, instead of Gary Graham.

>>84560160
Yes! They thought so highly of themselves while claiming humans were a primitive child-race but in the end the logical thing was to be bros and cool to everyone. And then the pink-skins would've tied the knot with their antennaed and pointy-eared friends; it's such a shame there was no more seasons to portray this.

Wouldn't all the laser beam shit Riker did to the deflector in Best of both worlds have destroyed the ship when they went to warp to Wolf 351?

Navigational deflector.

>>84566182
How does warp travel in the show work anyway?
Do they travel conventionally - just at very high speed?
Do they fold space, travel through wormhole like warp windows?
Is subspace magic involved?

>>84566182
It's been a while but I'm pretty sure after the Deflector weapon failed, the Enterprise was stranded for hours because they couldn't go to warp without repairing it. It's why they didn't make it to Wolf 359 on time.

>>84566315
They fold space and fly at a fraction of c.

>>84566315
Warp drive was a technology that allowed space travel at faster-than-light speeds. It worked by generating warp fields to form a subspace bubble that enveloped the starship, distorting the local spacetime continuum and moving the starship at velocities that could greatly exceed the speed of light. These velocities were referred to as warp factors.

>>84563466
the raw truth right here

>>84566315
>>84566434

Also there is transwarp technology that basically creates an artificial wormhole.

So basically yes to everything.

>>84566445
So if they're enveloped in a subspace bubble would cosmic dust even touch the ship?

>>84566523
It's a fucking tv show

>>84566633

>>84566523

no that's what the main deflector was for

>>84566996
Maybe it was just for impulse travel?

>>84567022
That doesn't explain why they can't go to warp if the deflector is damaged.
