Nope, not trolling. Here he keeps repeating the same damn debunked garbage over and over again.StarWarsStarTrek wrote: 1. Warp drive is slllloooowwwww.
2. They are pacifistic, and have no need for giant fleets.
3. They haven't had 25,000 years to do it.
4. They have only charted out 11% of the galaxy.
5. They don't have a droid labor force.
6. They don't have access to as many planets.
1.) Warp drive is incredibly fast in charted territory. Over 1 million c in some cases. Which is exactly what hyperdrive does in charted territory!
2.) Pacificstic? The Federation may have gotten complacent, by they were hardly pacificstic to the point that they couldn't defend against the Romulans, Klingons, or anyone else in the Alpha quadrant, if need be. When the Dominion and Borg entered the scene, within just a few years they went to total war footing and created a thousands upon thousands strong fleet large enough to challenge those threats, and replace some horrendeous losses during that time.
3.) Two statements in the movies place the Republic at 1,000 years old, not one thousand generations. But let's go over that again. Let's assume that intersteller civilization in the GFFA is that old. Great. We know that Federation members, like the Vulcans were starfaring at least 3,000 years prior to the founding of it, and the Dominion was starfaring up to 10,000 years prior. The GFFA civilization is also very stagnant to boot, nothing really changed technologically in 30 years there, where in ST's Milky Way, things change very rapidly.
4.) 19 percent, as per Wesley in "The Dauphin". Just a year earlier, it was 11 percent, so does that mean the Federation is rapidly growing and exploring that much every year? Yikes! A nearly doubling of the charted territory, and we see the chart in "The Chase" a few years later that shows at least a whole quadrant of the Milky Way is charted, so that upped to at least 25-30 percent.
5.) So? They have replicators, hard-light hologram workforce, etc.
6.) This is actually technically true, but then again there seems to be a discrepency as to how each group counts membership and what the actual numbers are. Many planets in the Republic and later Empire are very sparsely populated, or have nothing on them at all.
This will go down as another example of why SWST got banned.
