[Damocles]

I do not discuss that which does not exist. Especially as the house rule is clear about that subject.

I will say this about bad science fiction technology in general using ST:TNG as the example.

1. Rockets should behave like rockets.

2. Gobbledegook badly mouthed gibberish such as treknobabble or nonsense like "prepare to fire photon torpedoes" never makes story sense or real life sense either when "Torpedo them, Mister Worf." is clear and to the point.

CREF 5. Rule by committee. That is: writing by committee-bad writing by committee leads to long expository Geordi treknobabble monologues while the warp drive blows up. Hint: its a motor, silly, THROW THE OFF SWITCH!
