Ghost Leviathan posted:I'm pretty sure this might be intentional given the original builders and their henchmen are generally shown to have extremely advanced but impractical and poorly designed technology, which is what gives the troops a fighting chance to X-COM them. In part because they all have literal God complexes and design their stuff to look like holy artifacts to suit. The Goa'uld didn't build the Stargates, but don't get me wrong, the Ancients are rear end in a top hat precursors.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Isn't this basically those suicide planes the Nazis designed to be flown by Hitler Youth? More like strapping a cannon onto a pickup truck. IIRC the Ball is supposed to be just a maintenance pod, then they stuck a cannon on it.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:Has Trek ever talked about the tech that lets ships fly around the atmosphere of a planet while resisting gravity? Not really, we know they have anti-grav sleds and the like, so that's probably just scaled up for shuttles until they break atmosphere...no idea when it comes to say, Voyager.

David D. Davidson posted:I've been watching the old Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series and man I forgot how much stupid garbage tech is in this universe. Robots programmed to be manically depressed, a button on The Heart of Gold that just lights up a sign that says "don not press this button again." It's fantastic. Don't forget the black starship with the black button with black text that lights up a black light to let you know it's done something.
