Putting large and long objects in front of a starship, block its forward weapons arc, making sure that they're in the way of whatever the ship might run into...
Absolutely bloody brilliant.

When all else fails, consider the safety issues.

Sarcasm i take it? Remember that this is a hypothetical concoction. And weapons platforms can always be adapted to accomodate things like this.

Common sense doesn't go away just because the situation's hypothetical. Try to come up with some actually workable solutions to those problems without resorting to an OD of technobabble, then we'll see.

Don't you have to have 250 posts?

Defiant's got you there, Ritten. He would use the Flare Upload tool if he could, but, alas, he can't simply because he hasn't made 250 posts yet. The same currently applies to Koy as well.

I stand corrected.....
So, guys, post worthy postings, unlike that thing I did up there, or over there if this starts a new page...

No, I don't know what made you think that besides a lame attempt at putting me down. I just don't want some over complicted technical solution to how why would overcome the difficulties of having something big and long block their forward weapons, sensor, navigational deflector, and so forth. Because then, it'd be rather self defeating, wouldn't it? Why would they chose something complicted with no benefits, when they can just have the nacelles behind the ship.
