In any case, damn the (photon) torpedoes. Deploy a special brute-force transporter that doesn't care about atomic precision or putting its subject back together again, and you've basically got a disintegration beam that doesn't even need to breach the target's hull to take out critical systems.

A ship armed with a bank of these "attack transporters" could, once the shields were knocked down, literally carve up an enemy ship in seconds.


Trying to apply common sense to StarTrek is pointless, all the episodes are contradictory, etc etc...

Anyway, according to StarTrek, your shields have to be down to use transporters... in which case while you are busy transporting your payload, the enemy ship could carve your ship into many bite-size pieces :p

The Prometheus was an amazingly stupid idea. A ship that can split into three little ships is never going to be as efficient in either role as one big or three little dedicated ships, for the simple reason of mechanical complexity. All the space given over to docking mechanisms and redundant infrastructure takes directly away from space for shield generators, weapons, etc.

you have a point there...

and given the fact that most starfleet vessels are science and exploritory vessels(defiant is the first dedicated warship in starfleet) the ships seem a little flimsy to me..

If we had AM bomb as massive as that nuke the explosive power would be in the gigatons.

True, the 57 MT Tsar Bomba was something like 8 tons (if not bigger) and needed a specially-modified airplane to drop.  However, people do have a skewed view of how powerful antimatter is, most people think it's a lot more powerful than it is.  As if it's not powerful enough already....

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

You actually watch Andromeda.  It tries to be Star Trek and it fails miserably.

In short, IT SUCKS.

Andromeda is what happens when you leave Roddenberry's ideas in the fridge too long :p

That said, the show can be amusing at times.
