[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [qb]If you all are so pedantic, I will avoid the c word in the future.[/qb][/QUOTE] Come now, Bernd, I would have expected you to be above [i]ad hominem[/i] attacks. :( [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [qb]Okay. So it was limited. But having a perfect illusion of the look and fiel of a three-dimensional environment is already advanced enough. I see the rest as a rather small step. Again, just my opinion.[/qb] [/QUOTE] It seems to me that having a holodeck capable of simulating two different enviornments for two users simultaneously while imaging and simulating those users in the eyes of each other as well as making realistic, interactive people are [i]quantum leaps[/i] over making a credible enviornment (pardon the potential Bakula pun). [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [qb]First the lifespan is extended to 100 years, and now even 220 years.[/qb] [/QUOTE] Not quite. The [i]K't'inga[/i]s have a lifespan of 100 years, from 2270 to 2370. The [i]D7[/i] now has a lifespan of 110 years, from 2150 to 2270 (and two "looks," but that's a different issue). I do want to reiterate that I, too, don't like the choice to use the D7 over again. I, too, feel that it stretches credulity. The difference is that I don't feel that it stretches credulity to any extreme that's not already common in [i]Star Trek[/i]. Klingons using a similar ship design for 200 years is nothing compared to the implausibility of the universal translator translating Xyrillian after a sample of perhaps ten words. :) [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [qb]I think now they have crossed the line. Moreover, can't we assume that Chancellor Gorkon's ship is one of the most advanced of the fleet? Now this becomes essentially a 140-year-old design.[/qb][/QUOTE] Even before, [i]Kronos One[/i] was at least a thirty year-old design, so it was [i]never[/i] one of the most advanced ships in the fleet, by this standard. [/QB][/QUOTE]
