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.

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%!!! :wtf: In my opinion, impossible. Even the Borg weren't that stubborn!

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.

I imagine most of the E-E's shots went wide and hit nothing.

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.

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.

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