/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Would a Federation warship like the Defiant out gun a Star Wars Star Destroyer? Who has a bigger armada? Who has the tactical advantage? Don't forget that The Federation includes the Klingons, who love warfare and have fast, agile, heavily armed ships, with cloaking devices, and the Vulcans with superior logic and tactical planning.

Well star wars has a huge advantage with just the sheer size. A star destroyer is massive compared to the enterprise.

That said Trek has some really advanced technology. Teleporters, more advanced computers, better sheilds.

The real would be the borg afte the get any force sensitive assimilated.

The force is about tapping to the life force, and usually portrayed as a single living thing "tuning" into the living force.

Idk if the Borg could do that. As in, can the collective utilise the Force? Guess if they get a person who can, yeah... and... would that mean the collective then understands how to connect to the Force?

Depending on your take on the whole midichlorian thing, but even with it, presumably if the collective learns about the Force by assimilating one user, it could then utilise the Force with any Borg who have a sufficiently high M-count.

That would be pretty fiercesome. But if there's one thing the Borg lack it's that Jedi style wisdom.

Yeah but "size matters not" I always took the force as something that needs intense focus to really control and that no body faces something like force shot circuit. So a single force using drone would be a conduit for the collective mind of the Borg to use the force. Or at least that's how I take it.

If we go down the midichlorian rabbit hole. Then the borg should be able to make more of them. Nanobots advanced biology should make it possible to start making force using drones. But I doubt midichlorians are that mundane, ie they are to mystical to really behave scientifically

I believe some of what you say is touched on in some of the newer Star Wars shows, but to avoid any spoilers I'll just leave this comment very vague like this.
