Perhaps. But they've certainly never so much as hinted at that. And extending shields around other ships makes them weaker, not stronger. Extending shields has been shown to be a viable combat tactic in the Voyager episode "Think Tank." I can't think of any other, in universe, rationaliza...

I got into Star Trek when I was nine years old. By big brother talked me into watching First Contact with him. After that I watched TNG & DS9 on Spike TV, as well as Voyager on DVD. At first, I only watched Star Trek for the ship battles, but I grew to love every aspect of it.

Those things are already true, or should be. but it wouldn't be difficult to deal with them. Simply orbit planets from further out, or make fleet formations more dispersed. It's already ludicrous how close they show ships being anyway. Maybe fleets fly in close formation, so they can transfer shiel...

Bear in mind that this is not canonical information. Noted. :) 1.5 kilograms is still the most widely acknowledged figure. So, I'd suggest we use it, until a hard canon number comes along. And since Dreadnought was rather smaller than Voyager, and still had room for all sorts of weapons, shields, d...

Very true. At no time did I suggest that they couldn't stack torpedoes in such a manner, only that having such huge magazines, as described by Mr. Kennedy in his article, could be hazardous. Just for clarity there are actually two Mr Kennedy's. Ian (me) and Graham (my brother). Graham wrote the art...

Welcome to the site. If you get any death treats let me know, I'll ban the user ;) Thank you sir, it's a pleasure to be here. :) One slight problem. We have actually seen photon torpedoes stacked on top of each other, in racks exactly like Graham shows in the article, in Enterprise episodes and in ...

Hi all. :) So, this is my first forum post, though I've been a fan of this site for several years. The recent article regarding the Magazine Capacity of Star Ships has spurred me to create an account, and start this topic. This is my hypothesis, organized into two main points, about why Star Ships c...
