[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] Well, having just viewed the show, which I can say overall "works" for the series, I thought I would contribute some additional notes or organized specs on various technology (most of this may be a rehash of Mark's), but I organized/typed this as the episode progressed: [list] [*]22nd Century Arctic ground vehicles!! As in 'tracked-plow trucks' at the base camp... [*]"[i]Arctic One[/i]" was called by the "A-6 Excavation Team". "[i]Arctic One[/i]" could refer to the name of the "Arctic Transport" or the camp. [*]The "Arctic Transport" (aka the Borgs ship, aka Marks 'hovercraft') originally had a normal "max of wf 1.4" (as mentioned). These ships are also normally unarmed, however the Borg modified this one to incorporate a "proton burst" but VFX showed both this and then later, the now classic Borg green 'torpedoes' (seen in the above pics). [*]Also, as mentioned, the Borgified ship left Earth at 'wf 3.9', by the time [i]Enterprise[/i] encountered it, it was engaging a "Tarkalean freighter" where it was engaged by the [i]Enterprise[/i], yet managed to escape. Then once relocated, their top speed was 'doubled to wf 4.8'; [i]Enterprise[/i] pursued her at 'wf 4.9' despite being '2 light year's away'. Upon catching the ship it was noted that the 'mass had increased 3%' (having enhanced all except the aft plating) from their first meeting. The ship, upon being caught by [i]Enterprise[/i], sped up to 'wf 4.96 --> wf 4.98', but [i]Enterprise[/i] managed to knock it out of warp....upon a Voyager-esque battle sequence...the ship eventually went *BOOM*. :D [*]The Borgified ship population breakdown: 29 Borg = ~2 were the original drones, ~9 were Human, ~18 were Tarkaleans. [*]The "Tarkalean freighter" had a crew of ~20 (~18 drones + 2 biosigns/drones left behind). Their homeworld is "Tarkalea". [*]Note Reeds comment about the Borg armor and the ineffectiveness of their phase pistols and something along the lines of "we might as well have been shooting holographic bullets", an 'in-joke', no doubt. :p [*]The phase pistols were upped to 10 Megajoules (=10 million joules) to beat the Borg and lasted through a shitload of drones....according to the Klingon article in ST:The Magazine, the Klingon standard pistol is about 2.7 times more powerful, and certainly they, or their Federation counterpart, wouldn't have lasted half as long against the Borg in the 24th Century... [*]...and Whoa Boy!, two *new* episodes next week!!! [/list] [/QB][/QUOTE]
