Re: Scimitar vs. Soverign
Heh, "we didnt mean literally..."
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Lets face it though. Worf is very helpful when it comes to a fight.

He'd be useful in a brawl, but less useful in a firefight. Note his uselessness against the Ferengi in "Rascals" from point-blank range.

Its not enough they claim Shakespeare as their own, now they're trying to take the credit for He-Man?KuvahMagh wrote:The script probably read "faceless bad guy gets cut in half" and the costume designers took it too literally... But yeah, it could even be a creature from Klingon Mythology...

Re: Scimitar vs. Soverign
Well, after reviewing all that footage from the battle as seen in the movie, I have to say - the Scimitar just doesn't play fair! According to the movie, the E-E used up all its torpedoes and most of its phasers on the Scimitar, and yet the shields are still at 70%!!! In my opinion, impossible. Even the Borg weren't that stubborn!

Re: Scimitar vs. Soverign
Yeah it doesnt really make much sense. Although to be fair the E-E wasnt hitting with most of its shots. I did a run down before of all the shots we see hit and it was still quite a lot though.

Re: Scimitar vs. Soverign
I imagine most of the E-E's shots went wide and hit nothing.

Re: Scimitar vs. Soverign
Without the cloak the Scimitar would have been in a lot of trouble. I doubt the Sov would be able to take her on its own but I dont' see the Scimitar being in great shape after the fight either.

Re: Scimitar vs. Soverign
Yeah but without the cloak, they wouldn't waste countless torps on trying to find it. So it would have been a lot more painful for the scimitar.

Re: Scimitar vs. Soverign
Aye. I'd say the Scimitar would have won in the end, but it'd take heavy damage.

I think so too.
