Our Policy on Weapons Discussions
The only discussion allowed about any type of weapons will be those concerning weapons traditionally and/or historically associated with Highland attire and/or the Scottish regiments.

Any discussion of space ships other than that of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 which due to the inclusion of Chief Engineer and third-in-command Montgomery "Scotty" Scott will not be tolerated.

Grant's got a point. So - Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (Scottish), Kirk (Scottish descent), Spock (mother Amanda Grayson - Scottish descent) - U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701 ("No bloody A, B, C, D, or E!") always wins because they have the Scots.

Off topic but if you enter the engine room of any ship anywhere in the world and yell "Hey Mac" you will get a reply!

One thing you may have over looked is that Kirk cheated when he went through the kobishi(sp?) maru.

He didn't cheat! He improvised.

Much as I would like to see a ship moved by a Borroughs Continnua device with Zeb at the helm, Jake on the verniers, Hilda in command advised by Lazarus, the Enterprise still has the edge. The indomitable Kirk in command supported by the intelect of Spock, augmented with a chief enginneer Scotty who could build a complete warp drive engine from an empty beer can, 2 sticks of gum, and 3 used staples. Beat that!

Not when Kirk has been distracted by Lapis Lazuli and Lorelei Lee (wearing what they usually wear at home on Tertius) on his viewscreen! Always know your enemy's weakness.

Seriously though, I'm surprised that with as much as Roddenberry stole Heinlein's stuff, he never thought to use some of the more fun ideas. Like the whole n-space navigational problems that crop up in several of Heinlein's novels.

I'd still back any ship with a Burroughs continua device. I mean c'mon, Gay Deceiver managed to elude the entire Galactic Patrol when they were in that universe. And don't underestimate Hilda. Any woman who can intimidate Lazarus Long is obviously a force to be reckoned with.

I think they need to do a new version of "The Trouble With Tribbles" and have Danny DeVito as Cyrano Jones, Ronny Cox as the insufferable Commissioner, and Richard Dean Anderson as my dear Captain Koloth.

I can see DeVito as Cyrano, maybe Ronny Cox as the Comm.

But to taint the Honorable D'Har Master Koloth w/ the likes of a petaq' like richard dean anderson...That is unspeakable!!! anderson is a Romulan at best, or a Vorta, BUT HE IS NO KLINGON!!!

I posted this clever remark earlier today in a different thread. I went back over there to lift it and put it here where it belongs, In yer ear.

Now, as for the fight b'tween a Starship an' anothr ship carrying far superior armaments, I can say this,
"Gentlemen, y'd be on yer best mindset to go at it aganst m' own Captain James Tiberius Kirk. Regardless of yer ship's class an' tonnage."

What?! None of you have mentioned the Defiant?! The only warship the Federation made. You're slacking.

[Nick]

The Prometheus was a warship, too, and the New Orleans class was a frigate, so probably primarily a warship.

If you want to get really picky, there's also the TOS Saladin class destroyer and Federation class dreadnought, Franz Joseph's old designs from the 70s which gained technical canonocity when they appeared on readouts on the bridge of the Enterprise in "The Wrath of Kahn."
