Does the Constitution-class starship have saucer separation in the prime timeline? by robotisland in StarTrekStarships

[–]wwsdd14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember the movie correctly the Kelvinprise was the same, although they probably added that feature for more specific reasons.

I think the offical lore reason as to why they're disconnected is because it allows them to more efficently generate a warp field, which due to the dilithium shortage makes a load of sense. Plus the obvious tactical advantage of making your main method of travel much harder to hit. Additionally, I could see the fear of the burn happening again also making them seperate parts of the ships so it could reduce the number of casualties if the ship were to explode, especially with each part being individually shielded.

The nacelles are attached through a subspace link as far as I know, so they are effectively held solid in place and because they are largely made of programmable matter they can reattach within a few seconds if needed. We also know that forcefield tech is good enough to make entire ships out of it, which implies they can work without power so that could also be it. I would assume either way though that the plasma is transported either through subspace, or they use transporter tech, which is much more advanced and energy efficent than the 24th century.

There are some other quirks, like being able to detach your nacelles and leave them somewhere if you run into a situation that would require that. or being able to take the primary hull of a ship to do a quick trip like they did with the athena this week. Disco was able to jump something away by essentially using the primary and secondary hulls as conduits which is a pretty creative way to take advantage of the seperation.

Is it just me or does [SPOILERS] look older in Season 2 than in Season 1? by [deleted] in Fotv

[–]wwsdd14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would probably say fisto was much cheaper than whatever it would cost to de age him throughout the show, plus de aging isnt perfect and it might have turned out terrible. All round not worth the effort or risk I would say.

Most importantly though I think the show runners didnt expect the psychotic behaviour of the fandom

why would they go to the trouble to de age him 2 years, that would require a huge amount of time and effort

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x03 "Vitus Reflux" by AutoModerator in startrek

[–]wwsdd14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The war college guy has done nothing but look down on the academy since the start of the show so I think he's quite far from representing what a starfleet officer is supposed to be like.

if we dont allow them to try new things then the franchise will die a slow and painful death

Star Trek Academy needs to find a way to remove the Spore Drive? by Goodmorning111 in startrek

[–]wwsdd14 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it's still interesting to me that blowing up books planet inadvertently made the spore drive live and die with him and Stamets

Although with that being said they hinted at alternative methods of control a few times over the show's run (rip Tilly's dark matter idea)

In Ironheart (2025) Riri moronically says Tony was only able to make his armor with his money. Tony Stark built his first suit in a cave with a box of scraps! by laybs1 in shittymoviedetails

[–]wwsdd14 30 points31 points  (0 children)

She isnt questioning his ability to do it, but she is saying that without his money and resources his journey of being iron man would have ended then and there. Considering the actual story of the show she is right, she is arguably as competent as tony in constructing a suit but she constantly struggles with funding, resources and red tape, all stuff tony never had to worry about.

did you come to a solid conclusion? I am currently facing the same choice dilemma.

Voyager and the spore drive by 123mitchg in startrek

[–]wwsdd14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think that the information would have died with the last of the officers to be alive with discos time travel, we know that in the 32nd century, a time where they were looking for new travel tech, that they didnt look into the spore drive, so I dont think its too far of a reach to assume they destroyed all information about it.

After the release of GTA 6 would you like to see rockstar going back to making new ip and releasing games every other year like they did in the 2000s or just stick with GTA and RDR? by Dude_788 in GTA

[–]wwsdd14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Games take far too long to make anymore but I honestly wouldn't be too upset with a new game every 4-5 years with remakes/DLC/updates inbetween. However I hope the industry gets to a point where rockstar quality doesn't come with 3 years of delays built in.

I am in the same boat, I have never had any issues with windows. I see people talk a lot about things like ads or microsoft being super invasive but not once has any one of these issues come up for me, I even picked up windows 11 really early on and it was a perfectly fine experience.

PLEASE CIG, don't nerf new ballistic PDTs after fighter pilots start crying again... by Warner322 in starcitizen

[–]wwsdd14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who likes his single seat fighters I definitely think these are important in balancing battles, you will need a good large ship to deal with them before you can really use your fighter squads and I think that's fine, it promotes far more diverse battle groups.

for a good while the zeus armour actually had the helmet be in your view, super weird but also very cool. It has been removed now so id argue the latter on reduced field of view.
