[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]I was kinda hoping someone remembered Greg Jein's Romulan tube model from the first Chronology.[/QUOTE]Well, I knew [i]that[/i] wasn't going to happen. The tubeship isn't "cool" enough. Nor did it probably have warp or cloak capabilities, as was hinted at in BoT. What I'd like to know is, if in ENT the Romulans now have advanced, cloaked ships (with presumably better firepower than just atomic weapons), how could they have possibly lost the war against the humans, who have inferior ships? There's only one possibility...this ship is from...THE FUTURE!!! :D Seriously though, here's a transcript from a poster at TrekBBS: [QUOTE]Spock makes the following statement to the entire ship: " As you may recall from your histories this conflict [ Earth / Romulan War] was fought, by our standards today, with primitive atomic weapons and in primitive space vessels ... there were no ship to ship visuals, therefore no Romulan, Human or ally has ever seen the other. " If cloaking was "old hat" for the Romulans I'd bet Spock would have mentioned it in his intraship communication. After the Romulan ship appears, fires and disappears the following dialog is spoken: Spock - "I have a blip on the motion sensor, Captian ... Could be the intruder." Kirk to helm - "Go to full magnification" Sulu - "Screen is on full mag, sir." Kirk puzzled - "I don't see anything. [pause] I can't understand it." Spock - "Invisibility is theoretically possible, Captain. The selective bending of light, but the power cost is enormous. They may have solved that problem."[/QUOTE]Airtight continuity, my ass.
