move it in one piece that is another matter entirely. :-)

1.  Oooo can we start a Stargate Physics vs. Star Trek Physics debate?  I
say that a Goauld mothership could take out the Enterprise-D, except that
the Goaulds' weak understanding of tactics would make it too easy for the
Federation... :-,

The Federation has NO understanding of tactics.  First Contact for example,
they needed Piccard to tell them to concentrate their fire on one spot. Well
duh.

I thought the story behind that was, that as Locutus, Piccard had insider
knowledge of a borg cube's weakspot, hence it's rapid destruction.

The Cube being basd on a modular repeating redundant structure means you
have to destroy 75% just to deminish it's performance capabilities
(according to an old episode of TNG IIRC).

Their is a breakdown of logic of course, how could a ship with such
redundancy have a singular weakspot?

(...) to (...) Obviously this disproves the inital assumption made by Starfleet that the Borg Cube would still be functional with 75% damage. It also shows that a concentrated barrage of fire overwhelms the Borg ability to adapt to energy weapons. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
