The only thing I can think of when I see this is...

2010: the year we made contact.

Some weird spatial anomaly that knocks out primary and secondary systems, with emergency systems they detect a Klingon battlecruiser. The scoutship has no weapons, and are easy prey, so the Klingons board... ...Take it away! LOL!

Excellent work as usual my friend and the story ideas for this are almost endless! Fantastic!

As awesome as that would be, it's size is the very problem I have with it. Scout ship or not, I just can't take the Archer class seriously. I just an affinity to the larger Constitution and Yorktown classes.

thefirstfleet In reply to Kudos707 [2012-02-23 12:55:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but the Archer is not desinged for combat. She just looks around undetected, Warps out and then will be the big ladies sent

I have a half-developed concept in my brain on a similarly small ship, designed for sabotage: the Ulrike Meinhof class.

Kudos707 In reply to thefirstfleet [2012-02-23 20:13:38 +0000 UTC]

In that case then yes I can see the Archer being perfect for that. Maybe its just the way they show space battles is why I always want a vessel that's combat worthy, not a dinky little scout ship. Although I do have respect for the science vessel and what not.

Tricky, tricky, those Rommies. Bet they're right under that scout ship's bow, cloaked and waiting to kill her crew.

An asteroid with a pub on it?
The ubiquitous starfleet camper van in operation again, its only a guess here but I'll bet that all crew stationed on one of these are on "shore leave" without definate travel plans.

They're not Intrepid explorers, they're Archer explorers.

As for what's awaiting them in the nebula, which could have temporal properties? The 25th century Polaris?

The true answer to the Kennedy murder? Jimmy Hoffa's body? The fifth Beatle?

captshade In reply to thefirstfleet [2012-02-22 01:38:45 +0000 UTC]

Kennedy was shot by himself ( "Red Dwarf" episode "Tikka to Ride" ), Jimmy Hoffa's body was eaten by the other inmates (the government was cheap and figured the other prisoners wouldn't notice), The fifth Beatle was Ringo Starr (Brian Epstein was part of the original 4).

JamieTakahashi In reply to thefirstfleet [2012-02-22 00:22:40 +0000 UTC]

The fifth Beatle was Brian Epstein, though. Any Beatle fan knows that, Paul said it himself. I posit: Khan is in there.

Always nice to see the Archer class Dave

Let's see, mysterious looking nebula, a lightly armed Federation ship all on it's own, it's either going to be a Klingon battle fleet, or a timewarp?
