The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut

[NullAshton]

These rules are set in stone in the universe to prevent bad things from happening.

Set in stone in THIS universe. This DIMENSION has many universes. Other dimensions are capable of supporting FTL travel, time travel, and McDonalds. And what does Jack Simth do all the time.....?

If you travel faster than light, then bad things start to happen like I said. You catch up with your own light emmisions, which would build up under newtonian physics, and you would vaporize the front of your vessel. If you tried shooting any energy weapons, what shot the energy beam would get hit by the energy beam. Optical devices would cease to function as they cannot travel forward to the axis of movement, due to going faster than light. It would be impossible to see behind you, because of you moving faster than light. Light would have more energy relative to you, so any energy weapons fired at you would do exponential amounts of damage. If you're moving 10x the speed of light, then energy weapons fired directly at you from in front would do 11x times the damage. The good side is that noone can see you coming

The Picard Maneuver

[NullAshton]

On Star Trek:Starfleet Command III, I use tactical warp all the time. Aim at a target, activate it. Drop out of warp right on top of them, while unleasing a full salvo of quantum torpedos to remove the shields, then tear apart their hull with pulse phasers. If the enemy has disruptors... They shoot before you drop out of warp, and either shoot in front of you, or behind you.

I haven't got SFC III, just version I - I was talking about theoretical knowledge from the Omnipedia and a TNG episode where Picard goes back to the place where he destroyed that Ferengi ship and another Ferengi has found the Stargazer and tricks Picard into coming aboard, so he can use some sort of strange device on him to make him believe that he is back to when he executed the maneuver and thinks Enterprise is the Ferengi ship.

If that sounds like I'm a total ner Trekkie, you are mistaken. I am merely a Trekkie, and somewhat of a nerd.

Also, there appear to be some strange discrepancies regarding the Stargazer - from what I know Picard served on board the Stargazer as a lieutenant or something when it encountered the Ferengi ship, which then fired at the Stargazer and killed the captain. Picard took command, which wasn't really necessary because he already was in command of the ship at the time. He then went on to blow the crap out of the Ferengi, but the Stargazer was too damaged to keep flying so Picard abandoned her behind a moon and left it behind. He then went on to command it for 22 years before captaining the Enterprise when it finally was decommissioned. Later, as I said, Ferengi found it and used it to try and kill Picard.

I believe Picard took command of the Stargazer during an attack by the Nuuyad(can't remember the exact name). He was the second officer at the time. The first officer was in a coma. Picard kicked Nuuyad butt, saved the people of some planet, went back home. The first officer was transfered I believe, and Picard was given command of the U.S.S. Stargazer. During the Ferengi attack, he sustained heavy damage, and created the Picard maneuver. A short 1 second warp burst, creating 2 images of the ship. The vessel shoots where the vessel was, not where it is currently, and the Stargazer opens fire with all weapon batteries and destroys the vessel.

Now then, about the Bar Wars II...

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

I haven't heard that version of the story yet, I thought Picard assumed command of the Stargazer during the battle with the Ferengi.

[NullAshton]

Nah, he was already in command.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

...And he commanded the Stargazer for 22 years, right?

But, as you said, let's get down to business. BWII. Who's throwing in military support besides NA, Narf and me?
