Re: Best/Worst ship deaths in Trek
I'm the only mod who doesnt like it, so yeah pretty much.
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.

Teaos, you are one of a kind.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Re: Best/Worst ship deaths in Trek
Kirk did pretty well - the E-nil's destruction wiped out half of Kruge's crew, while still leaving her own crew a ship to get home on. Using the ship to ram the BoP would have left them stranded on Genesis when the planet blew up. Even if the planet hadn't exploded, they'd have been left stranded, with no way of getting Spock back to Vulcan.Josiah Thompson wrote:Worst: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in Star Trek III - Kirk gave up too easily. Why not be like Worf? "Prepare for ramming speed!"

Re: Best/Worst ship deaths in Trek
What use would ramming the Bird of Prey do? I suppose if they managed to hit the thing they might have crushed it and survived, but the Bird of Prey could easily have dodged it then blown them away.
Kirk had no way to win in a firefight, so once again he tricks his way out of it, and takes out most of the Klingons in the process.

Re: Best/Worst ship deaths in Trek
With regards to the E in TSFS, trying to ram the Klingon ship would have just resulted in the Klingons blowing the ship up. Leaving it as a trap was the best option.

Re: Best/Worst ship deaths in Trek
I always assumed Starfleet would have found someway to recover the Klingon BoP from the harbor. Why let a valuble piece of intelligence just waste away down there??? I'm sure there are ways they could have raised it up again.

Seriously, we went over this before; most of us figure they did raise it, and probably learned quite a bit from it.
