/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

The only good space battle in Trek happened in the Mutara Nebula.

The Battle of Cardassia would like a word.

Pitch down so we're not nose to nose, that'll throw 'em off!

thinking Three Dimensional in Star Trek?! Impossible.

And make the saucer section look like a giant bullseye!

Hrm, maybe nose to nose is the strategically sound position.

I think the Orville pilot Gordon showed the best way to approach this with his "hugging the donkey" maneuver. Realistically, this would be the best way to go about engaging against a ship with superior fire power. As soon as I saw it on screen, it was like "why haven't I seen this before." because it just makes so much sense.

From your source

The actual maneuver was digitally rendered, rather than filmed

You don't say? Lol

Those lying BASTARDS!

Vessel... Wessel...wesley...!... Shutup Wesley!

Isn’t there some plot line of a captain deliberately holding back an evasive maneuver because they don’t want the enemy to know it.
