quote: Maybe; maybe not. Throughout TNG, the Tholians were basically regarded as enemies -- like Sol said. They attacked a starbase, they had an interest in the Klingon Civil War (or the potential for one, re: "Reunion"), and also the simulated battle that Riker fought in the Academy against a Tholian ship... that sounds like a rather consistent series of events prior to around 2368 or so. Not just random aggression like the various Klingon incidents we've seen.
Well, I suppose a coup or something similar isn't out of the question. Maybe even different factions/nations have decided to persue different courses of action as regards other races.

Mabye their behavior can't be easily explained bacause they're fucking aliens!!!! Why would a non-humanoid creature that lives in extreme heat and hard radiation, either wears crystal armor or is itself crystaline in nature and may not even posess limbs of any kind or have them grown specifically to suit a purpose have anything like human motivations? Tholians could be the most unpredictible of all the Trek aliens due to their strangeness.

Well, that's helpful for people who use Kazaa... Which isn't necessarily everyone.
What's the requirement for using Flare Upload, anyway? Is that 250 posts? Or 750? (I forget...)

Hey, the AEROSHUTTLE is in there! It's a top view that scrolls by a couple of times in the upper left corner. Later on, you see a rotating 3D view at the center top.

What's an Aeroshuttle? Guess I am not familiar with that one.
Wasnt there a Klingon Bird of Prey in the 31st C. ship directory?
Also...based on the known size of the Enterprise (approximately 225m), then using that to calculate the size of its nacelle (100m, approx 2.5 inches on a 19" tv) related to the Tholian cruiser that had Enterprise in a tractor beam (approximately 2.25 inches)-- Uncle Algebra tells us that the cruiser is around 90 meters in length.
