    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Does size actually matter? A US Navy Wickes-class destroyer is a heck of a lot smaller than HMS Victory but I wouldn't bet on the Ship-Of-The-Line winning that fight. It's speed, toughness, and firepower that make a difference, not hull length.

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Huh, I didn't realize they were that slow. That does give the Federation a rather brutal advantage, between having superior FTL sensors and moving hundreds of times faster both in realspace and FTL the Federation will be able to force fights on their terms in almost any situation they're not...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    We have no reason to presume Picard lied. The claim is that the Federation would never have continued a treaty with Cardassia unless Picard lied to Starfleet Command, but that's just Fanon and we have no way of knowing that. There could be any number of offscreen factors that made the...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    The Issue with The Wounded is that Maxwell went off AWOL and started blowing up enemy ships without authorization. One could envision a similar situation with, say, a US Navy Submarine Captain finds out Chinese cargo ships are secretly sending weapons to Russia to use against Ukraine. The Sub...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    I think that's for the best. The 40K Galaxy has zero chance against some of the heavy hitters the Federation can bring to bear if it's allowed maximum cheese.

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    It's pretty much covered in the link he included. Douwd are pretty much Q-lite, Kevin Uxbridge was a Douwd pretending to be human married to a Federation Citizen and living on their colony at Rana IV. I don't think it ever explicitly says "He's a federation citizen" but he reincarnated himself...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    I agree on Tzeentch but I think Nurgle will get a better foothold than Slaanesh. Khorne is getting nowhere of course, the Federation eschews everything he represents. The Federation also has significant defenses against Slaanesh. When he shows signs of Holodeck addiction we see Barclay...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    As usual, you can't actually argue the facts and ignore it instead. Broht & Forrester are in TNG and VOY, where a case of copyright infringement and their trying to profit on it are central to the plot. Picard is obviously from TNG The Bank of Bolias is from DS9. The price on Mudd's head is...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Sure. So getting to the polities in general, my thoughts are: As I posited, I think the Federation will do very well against chaos as they simply have the right mindset to fight it and are accustomed to dealing with extradimensional invaders and shutting them down. I do not see chaos cults...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    If you come up with something I'll try to look at it fairly. I'm perfectly willing to say many things are retconned, however note that the hybrid thing is entirely a divergence from the real issue (That things like the Interex exist at all, which Agent disagrees with apparently entirely because...

    "There should be lots more hybrids" isn't a negative. "Hybrids would grow faster than their parents" isn't a negative. "Hybrids will have less presence in the warp" isn't a negative. "The Interrax has bee nretconned" isn't a negative. "Xenology has been retconned" isn't a negative. "Other...

    Not seen: Any proof, as usual. Prove one of your points for once. You say his word is invalid? Prove it, show where. You say the Dark Eldar hybrids should breed faster? Prove it. You say they would have a lower profile in the warp? Prove it. You think I'm salty rather than mildly amused...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Ah, first can't refute, then resort to claiming you're making me mad. I'm reminded of AOC claiming she got under Elon Musk's skin when she was actually having a glitch on her phone. He's the creator of the game. His word's more relevant than anybody else's. But if you disagree, let's play by...

    Don't you feel shame when you snip everything about a post disproving your position except for one sentence you think you can knock down? But yeah, I was mostly mocking the fact that you didn't know how to spell the guy's name despite claiming expertise, guess that was too subtle. The thing...

    Yes, I think we all realize there are no Devs here. The problem is there's no reason we should take your uninformed opinion as holy writ without at least something, you have nothing backing up anything you say except wild speculation and you and Agent23 have been proven not to know what you're...

    I disagree. Simple brood parasitism doesn't work across multiple generations, and doesn't have "gene" in its very name. Also what's your answer to the bits you just snipped out?

    But you just said there's no devs to do those retcons and it's all ambiguous, how do we know it's not the other way around? Put up or shut up.
