[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE] Ha! That's a good one! You should try to rearrange the LCARS framework a little bit (maybe stretch the whole canvas vertically) so you can fit that in... [/QUOTE]As I said I've already tried and I don't want to screw up the size ratio by increasing the height. Besides, it's a little too familiar for an official communication, especially if a copy is going to the Director of Starfleet Operations. [QUOTE] My only remaining problem is that the Saratoga's outriggers were specifically stated by Okuda to be sensor booms. That, coupled with the fact that we didn't see them shooting those things at the Borg cube, leads me to believe they're not weapons. [/QUOTE]Yeah but that's boring. Use your imagination boy! Perhaps the program to get this weapon made that they didn't even have time to design a custom replication template, instead they were forced to jury rig a set of DSC-710 long range stellar observatory sensor booms that they had on hand. It wouldn't be pretty but the would have been good for a few shots at least which is all it would take before the Borg adapted. So technically they were sensor booms and it's possible that the Saratoga got off a shot (off screen) before the Borg locked on with their tractor beam, then again perhaps the unit overloaded and never fired so much as a photon. (the particle, not a torpedo) It doesn't really matter either way because we know that none of those ships (with the possible exception of the Endeavour) made it out of that system in one piece. [QUOTE] After all, the Battle at Wolf 359 occurred some hours/days after Picard had been assimilated. He likely had reviewed the "Project: Wildfire" data, after all, so knew what to expect. [/QUOTE]Not quite, this communiqu� took place after Picard's abduction (note Shelby's rank and position) and even if Wildfire was on the go before his abduction I doubt that Picard would have had time to read it. More likely he left it to Geordie & Co to handle the engineering problems (as we saw) while he concerned himself with the status of his ship and crew, maybe even going over the records of the J-25 encounter, talking to Guinan, liasing with Hanson about the status of the Armada, maybe even placing a call or two to Chancellor K'mpec. [QUOTE] I mean seriously, if you can set a ship's self-destruct to have a vaporization radius, instead of simply tearing itself to debris, why wouldn't they have tried this...? Eject and detonate the antimatter pods, or something... [/QUOTE]Raw energy had already proven to be of little use against the Borg. However Riker was about to attempt a high warp ramming manoeuvre which may or may not have worked. Something that I doubt any of the armada ships would attempt since at such close range they wouldn't have enough room to accelerate and besides at that point the cube was still 7.8 light years away from Sol, so it wasn't quite time for a kamikaze run yet.
