Now why the hell did i say Delta, so much information its all screwed up in here. Next ill be saying Voyager went to the other side off the Room, not Galaxy.

I think DS9 gave star Trek a whole new dimension that was not present in any other series, the dimension of conflict. Seeing star fleet at war and federation ships fighting in massive fleets was something that was not even close to being present in any other series. If you appreciate DS9 for what DS9 was, than it has it's charm!

I could go into depth about why I liked ds9, I think more than anything the show was reflective and retrospective.

TNG showed earth as a paradise and humans as unfalteringly noble. DS9 showed that, and I'll quote sisko "it's easy to be a saint in paradise". Take 24th century humans off of a luxury starship with a massive apartment for each crew member and you see people coping in real surroundings (as real as a cardassian space station gets I suppose). In that setting, the faintest glimmer of nobility means 10 times more.

Jeez, that was a bit deep for this time of night.

I agree, I think it also showed that modern problems with war are still present than. People don't like war weather it's 2004 or 2400. But you have to admit watching starships fire torpedos at each other is really cool. GO CGI

Go Defiant!

Defiant, Valient, and Defiant 2!

i agree

i loved DS9

definitely my favorite series

with tng and voyager tied tio each other and close behind of course

its been called the "grittier"

i believe i heard marina sirtis, describe it as that wen i saw her on stage at a convention in 97

she also called it Deep Space SWINE lol



but, aswe all know the whole concept of DS9 waspretty much entirely new and very refreshing

and at least DS9 didnt change ESTABLISHSHED Trek and Starfleet history, like A CERTAIN NEW SERIES HAS

any attempts to knock my NX-01 will result in you being vapourised i think enterprise is the best trek yet so there

Nice idea, Awsric_Armitage! But i think that there should be some borders when it's about technology.

ABout the NX serie, great show really. Saw the NX almost blow up, don't know if it will. But please NO SPOILERS!!! Really exciting and all that stuff, Don't care if it messed up the timeline, the hell with the timeline.

Armitage. I believe some of your theories regarding cloaking technology are in contradiction of canon star trek.

In trek, virtually any ship can be fitted with a cloaking device supposing one is available. From the enterprise-d using a cloak from the pegasus, to the cloaking cardassian keldons in the die is cast, to the most obvious example- the defiant. The defiant was certainly not built with cloaking in mind, in fact it's been stated that it's an extremely difficult to cloak effectively. The same goes for Keldons

The reason the cardassions don't have cloaking technology is that it is a closely guarded secret, and to be blunt is out of their reach technologically.
With Starfleet, they have the means, yet are treaty bound not to cloak their starships.

I always find it annoying when anyone assumes defiant class ships should have cloaks (as you see in many botf mods), or keldons should cloak just because the romulans loaned 10 or so to the obsidian order for the purpose of a single attack. Simply put, if they had the technology, it would be on all their ships.

Regarding power output, this can actually be detremental to cloaked ships, rather than helpful. The Defiant frequently had to cut main power to avoid dominion detection as it had a higher power output than such as a warbird- which the defice was likely designed for.


I really think it shouldn't be possible for anyone but the Klingons and Romulans to research cloaking. It might not be fully canon, but it retains the trek feel which this game needs.
