[QUOTE]Originally posted by OnToMars: [QB] Also, a "verteron weapon" which is ostensibly used to deflect comets and has the curious ability to "hit any target in the system." Some how, this weapon, which appears to be your standard run of the mill beam weapon, isn't limited by line of sight and can hit, say, planets on the opposite side of the sun, the near side of the moon, and gosh, it must even be capable of hitting the opposite hemisphere of Mars. Once again, Mars is depicted as lifeless and devoid of any infrastructure whatsoever. There should be, at the very minimum, millions of people on Mars, and surely there's a Mars Police Force that's capable of neutralizing one little mining station. Also, do they ever mention what exactly they're mining on the Moon? Since the only thing worth mining on the moon is hydrogen isotopes and water, what exactly is the station's purpose there? They should've set it on an asteroid, it would've given them a concrete reason for being there and also would've made the "flying mine" idea a little more plausible. And that's not to say anything about a beam weapon traveling slower than the speed of light and thus taking minutes or more to reach its target. Apparently, we're coming up on the founding of the Federation and we still have extremist, fundamentalist xenophobes running around. Blech. [/QB][/QUOTE]
