An unsubstantiated claim that is likely based on cherry picking, and going completely uncontested, sad.Battlegrinder Post# 18 wrote: What kind of yield do Cylon KE weapons have? I ask because UFP shields are actually rather weak against KEWs (compared to their performance against DEWs), so they Cylons might not be as screwed as you think.
Problems with this claim:
1) It requires everyone to be stupid, and not exploit an easily exploited weakness
2) You'd have to ignore DS9: The Ship, and Voyager: Once Upon a Time where we see ships hit inert matter and come out undamaged. They actually beary themselves underground(3 kilometers in one case)
3) You need to rely on second rate visual effects of ships hitting each other.
4) You need to ignore the fact that TNG: Hero Worship showed that powerful gravity fields like the standard shields, navigational deflectors, and warp fields hitting the shields will tare the ship apart like we see in the shotty visual effects in DS9.
Why would sensors have trouble identifying a shape shifter who can turn into light and flame, or perfectly mimic a life form down to the molecular biology?Battlegrinder Post# 18 wrote: Right, because trek's uber sensors were of such use against the not even remotely human Founders.
