I can see that. would explain all the redundant mission roles of starships.Teaos wrote:Given that we have seen star fleet officers work in ship design and building I would imagin its just a branch of SF where engineers work.

How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

In the Mirror universe? Whose warp coil factory would have coils suitable for the Defiant, a design from an alternate universe?Blackstar the Chakat wrote:Maybe they raided a warp coil factory that had coils in the size they needed in stock?

I was only joking but we have seen stranger coincidences in Trek before.Captain Seafort wrote:The right size and shape for a ship that originated in a different reality, was revolutionary in it's own universe, and was based on a design lineage that ended decades earlier?Blackstar the Chakat wrote:Maybe they raided a warp coil factory that had coils in the size they needed in stock?

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.

Nope - it's Ed. He has a place in Hoboken, but spends most of his time on ES McKinley. And good lord, is he busy.

Are you saying that GD survives into the 23rd century?
Well, it is in California, I think it is close to San Fransisco.

Re: Who builds Starships?
Sure why not? And by then it should be de-classified because the rest of the world will have caught up to their tech. In fact, lets argue that GD survived WWIII and assissted Dr. Cochrane with his plans for Warp Drive. Heck, we can even say Dr. Cochrane worked for GD at some point!stitch626 wrote:Are you saying that GD survives into the 23rd century?
