Of course its creative...

I had to make specs FOR THE CONCORDIUM SERIES and not for the pleasure of the world. I do not force anyone to use or believe my numbers, I just want to know if they're realistic (the specs, not the ship numbers in service).

But I can't get rid of the feeling that my numbers are crap, since you don't like them.

---------------
The numbers are from January, 29th 2381; Starfleet has 1838 officially listed capital ships in 43 ship classes...
That is fan fic of course and as stated above I do not force anyone to believe it. Maybe you think of a 7219 ships fleet and only 9 Galaxys (Y unless you want to list them up in the Messier catalogue).

They would be equally realistic if you multiplied them by 10. Or divided by 3. Because there is no evidence for any of these specs anyway.

See, that's the problem. We can talk about, say, a potential top speed for ships, because we have other ships to compare to. We can theorise whether the Defiant should be able to outrun a Galaxy, or not. But a dissipation of 11.2 PW for a Galaxy shield system? Pure fantasy. There's nothing to compare it to at all, so there's no way of saying whether they are too high or too low.

One thing, is this Star Trek: Concordium the fan-fic series you are talking about? If so, a friendly word of warning: Please don't make Trek Fanfic Mistake No 1: Spend all your time worrying about pointless tech details at the expense of characters, story, plot, and stuff like that.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Indeed. In fact, tech is absolutely worthless if you don't have a story. The less tech is required, the better the story is.

Okay, now that I know where this belongs, it's on its way.
