    While the human’s behavior following the loss of the game is illogical, as humans are want to do, your dismissal of their responses to your clarifying statement regarding their loss as ‘petty’ is inherently illogical as well. Doing so instead of, as logic would dictate, rigorously testing their response for potential validity, if only in a human context, has resulted in your hypothesis being unanswerable with available information. Please keep in mind that while the actions of humans often appear illogical, this commonly is due to a lack of context surrounding those actions or understanding that, being highly emotive beings, the logic of their actions may be derived from a not immediately accessible source given a Vulcan perspective in observing the events. Further inquiry in this matter is generally welcomed by persons engaging in apparently illogical behavior, and your failing to clarify these conditions at the time of the event necessitated the query passing to this board, which could have been a post in /c/humansubspacemicroblog providing insight into this phenomenon instead of us attempting to ascertain fact with incomplete data.


  • Fun fact: I scrubbed through that whole fight and there is exactly 1 frame where only 4 beams are on screen, and it’s the view screen of the Alito and not a very clear shot. The rest are 5 4 beams or <=3

    And in DS9 the big fleet actions only have only a few ships firing at a time. I didn’t think the phaser effect cost that much, but presumably I was wrong about that.

    Figured it could work for the meme.



  • I’ve always been a fan of the canon interpretation that anything other than the two nacelle pattern was because someone needed to compensate for something in the workload. Battleships (Federation-class variants, Galaxy-X) have 3 so one can get chopped off and they can keep on trucking, quads rotate through them to even wear/allow ‘sprinting’ for longer, singletons being 2 nacelles in a trenchcoat for cost/maintenance reasons (which explains why they’re often proportionally oversized), etc.
