Now here this. The purpose of this thread is to gather ideas for potential WC fanfics. There was a time when this place was full of stories. It could happen again. If there is any story idea, concept, specific incident, or gray area of the series that you think will translate into a good fanfic...

While there is no catapult in some of the games, I think the reason a catapult would be neccesary is to get the fighter in battle quickly.I do not think that it is safe to engage engines on a deck except in emergencies. The ships probably would have to use thrusters to exit the deck without...

I do not think that they could replicate ships that big. This sounds like a simply weak excuse to cover their (the creators) mistakes. Anyways, this is Voyager we are talking about. It isn't really a *normal* ship. However, as WildWeasel has stated, there does seem to be alot of Trek...

Loaf, about the shuttles, I do not have a clue as to how many an Intrepid class starship is supposed to carry. All the information was from various Star Trek reference material and zealous fans that agree on the fact that Voyager should have lost all of its shuttles. As a matter of fact, Rick...

The torpedoes in the later part of the war were a dozen times more powerful than the ones in TNG. As such, ships of a similar era are capapable of mounting weapons far more powerful than other ships of a similar era. And, as Supdon said, it's nonsense to assume that those older starships are...

It should also be noted the of the particles emitted by Scylla originate in another universe. How this realates to the anomalies artificial nature is the subject of debate.

I'm no expert on the technichal issues of Star Trek, however, to partially back Frosty's point, I believe that the type-VI torp's maximum possible yield was 200 isotons. The previous torps used in the majority of TNG were 18.5 isotons. Apparently a big improvement in damage potential did occur...

Actually, Napolean, there are several methods that have been proposed. The theory of using an infinitely long cylinder is one method. The problem is that the cylinder needs to be infinite in length. Negative Energy created by way of the "Cassimir Effect", Colliding Cosmic Strings, and several...

Ghost is correct. Secret Ops is not officially an add-on. However, as far as content goes, it might as well be an add-on. It appears that Secret Ops was more of an impromptu descision. I seriously doubt that this was what the Maverick team originally intended to be the next full game in the series.

"Many Worlds" is probably the most logical theory on time travel we have right now. Time travel is not neccesarily impossible, as a matter of fact, true transporter technology would probably be a lot more difficult to achieve than time travel.

Actually, a number of people have been, in a sense, resurrected in Star Trek, both in the past and very soon in Nemesis. Note: spoilers. While many Trek fans are looking forward to this, In my opinion the next Star Trek film looks less than promising. This bit about the main "nemesis"...

Really, you think that those stories are "overtly" dark? First of all, I did not say that Star Trek did not have dark stories, I merely said that, in general, it did not have an "overtly" dark feel. Second of all, in sci-fi just because a story is light does not mean that no wars, strife...

Someone did write a WC ST crossover story a long time ago. It was entitled Nemesis or something like that. I do not think that it turned ou well. As for tech, you must remeber that the WC universe went through quite a few setbacks. The chaotic 23rd century, the W.E.C, the Pilgrim stuff, the...

Freedom Flight is indeed nostalgc harkening to those days when the outcome of the war was open to speculation. To a time when I would learn of a new WC game by actually having to go to the store, or in the case of Armada, from an Origin employee in person that happened to cross paths (back in...

Star Trek is silly on its own concept. How many living energy clouds and temporal phenomenom do you think actually exists out there? That said, Star Trek was never about a dark wartorn future. It is not weather it has war or horror in it, the theme and general feel is important. And the theme...

All seriousness aside, lets not forget that Barbara Miles said that ConFed was ready to "replant the seeds of humanity in a distant galaxy." And lets also not forget that Vagobond has been to "every corner of every galaxy." So there, proof positive that ConFed is a capable of extragalactic...

Here is a list of the books in the seriees with some thoughts on each: Freedom Flight is probably the poorest book in the series, but it was, after all, the first WC book in a time when the series was not as well developed so . C End Run is Forstchens's first WC book-- and quite a good...

Essentially nothing is known about the game's story other then a few rumors. An official plot synopsis has not even been released yet. Virtually, all that is known is the basic setup -- the houses and such. Thus it is a little early to judge in that department. Still, the game has been under...

I would have to say the first two really stick out in my mind. This is partially due to nostalgia. Wing2 had a really great story and feel despite only using sprites. Wing3 was quite impressive at the time. It simply was a revolution. To be honest, I think the story was fairly weak. Since...

I strongly disagree. I have studied martial arts quite extensively, and even I would say that one would have to be insane to take on a ferrocious beast like this. Of course, the commandoes and marines will study hand-to-hand as part of their training--not that this would be their preferred...
