EVE General Discussion

The main problem with an Eve vs Star trek is that it presupposes aggression upon meeting. Imagine if you were Jean-luc Picard (Picking on TNG here since this is probably the one people are more familiar with) and you somehow get blown into star cluster which is only about 150 lightyears at its widest point and has about five thousand habitable star systems, with a special warp fold (wormhole space) with about 2500 unique 'stable' zones. In this system there are about 500000 free agents and an unknown amount of people affliated with various empires and factions who are functionally immortal who could outbuild the entirety of the federation's ship capability on a daily basis and, more interestingly, could refit against it within minutes. If you want the enterprise to tread carefully you would just have to tell them what happened in BR-5 and what happened afterwards and tell them that was for fun.

You do not stir this type of crazy, you either back off from it or try and negotiate with it.

Star Trek has quite a number of advantages.

Their warp speed even for the largest ships are measured in light-years, not merely AUs.
The scanners also work out to light-year ranges. Not a 14AU dscan.
Can beam a boarding crew on board. and with the minimal crew that capsuleer piloted ships use, wouldn't be much resistance.
If you think bubbles are bad, if the Federation decided to use an omega molecule detonation, it would render warp travel impossible for light-years around and on a permanent basis.

Also are we just limiting it to Federation vessels? Because if we just use the broad term of a "Star Trek Fleet" then why not include Borg? Their shielding can reach 100% resists after only a few shots from the enemy. Or lets throw in some Species 8472 for good measure and their biological ships and super weapons.

Transporters beat jamming by teleporting explosives right next to the enemy. In fact, provided that enemy shields are taken care of, they beat anything: Eve crews transported and pampered by Orion slavegirls to prevent clone jumping, ships cannibalised module by faction module.

Also, Star Trek glorified tea-earlgrey-hot makers versus the ISK hungry war machine of Eve. The joys of protracted war.

These two technologies make the Federation virtually invincible. They'd have to be expropriated by Eve spies as soon as possible. Or reverse engineered by Eve scientists. If not, it would be an exercise in futility.

This thread is terrible and even from a nerd point of view shows a shocking lack of understanding of both universes.

Of course, anything that Rick Berman has breathed on has already been ruined beyond redemption.
