It actually wouldn't, because the signal's strength would drop with distance. This is somewhat reinforced by what happened in Sacrifice of Angels, because they didn't wait to The only time I can recall a shield being "reassembled", was in TNG's Survivors. In regards to "reroute energy to..."...

Yes, that is the case. However, the only time where we've had fleet-on-fleet jamming was in Sacrifice of Angels. In which case, the jamming took place once the two fleets had moved into close range, NOT when they were farther away. Keep in mind that Sisko had sent wave after wave of fighters at...

Which brings us to the question of why these ships would bother to wait until they reach what is shockingly close range even for precise targeting. Yes, I am aware of what Ronald Moore said in 98' and 99'. However, let's consider a few facts. First, Moore's position contradicted Roddenberry's...

I think of it less as "all the battles are wrong", but as "while most or all the battles portrayed are flawed in some way, each such portrayal is only 20-90% flawed". That's perfectly true. Okay, this is my fault. I was referring to stories based on historical events, not in a historical...

Well, I think we should really take it scene by scene, but reliance on TM doesn't create that problem. The problem is inherent to fiction-based debates themselves. That's why people prefer some sort of backbone document or methodology to address that problem. It doesn't matter if you use Wong's...

My argument doesn't preclude that what we see is an accurate portrayal. My argument simply presents that this is a portrayal and that we must accept that there might be inconsistencies. My position is that, acknowledging this fact, when we see something that doesn't make sense, we must accept...

I'll address your other concerns later, but Nemesis is what we call a plot hole. There was a shuttle that had transporters in them in Best of Both Worlds (that's how they rescued Picard), another episode showed the Enterprise D had a runabout as a support craft, which also has transporters (not...

😂 That's funny, because that isn't what he said. You are trying to infer that, based on an interpretation that you would prefer. Your only real proof to assert that is the case, is by appealing to visuals, as if Star Trek were a documentary. It is not and when we do investigate into the...

Lol. I know you might have thought that a brilliant strategy, but it really just shows how stupid you really are. And I have little patience for these sort of word games. The first part of the sentence justifies the latter part; which is, they are canon. We KNOW that the contents that they...

Tell me Aldarion, how long have you been debating this sort of stuff? Oh, is that so? And yes, I'm aware of the statements by Moore. Lang's statement is not only more current, but he holds a more authoritative position in the company. And of course, the statements by Roddenberry, Okuda, and...

You know, people might like you more--or at least take you more seriously, if you actually address the entirety of their arguments. You know, instead of disregarding one key pillar that their argument is based on, assert your own, and then proceed to address the rest of the argument as if it...

It's not really a scout ship though. Outside of Sisko's Defiant, they have no cloak. That leaves you with a ship that has no great range compared to other ships, isn't particularly fast, and isn't even well set for long-range journeys into enemy space. The Defiant is in effect, a highly focused...

Yeah, I can't really comment on the Age of Sail, but the best way to determine the sort of military strategies they would use is actually by the technology and the environment. How it is portrayed in the show and lore is also important, but you're essentially asking for TV show writers in the...
