/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Kirk would karate-chop Vader, double-first slam the Storm Trooper, grab a blaster, and not miss.
Vader's only advantage here is James Earl Jones's voice.
My favorite Kirk fighting maneuver (sorry, I tried to screenshot a YouTube video. It's the human projectile, where he throws himself sideways at the enemy.
Indefensible)
I call that the "Angry Jawa Flailing Attack." because I assume thats how Jawa Martial Arts goes.
not to get too fan-wanky on you.... but, eh, Vader is basically permanently bolted into combat armor? a judo chop wouldn't be enough.
Also, didn't trek phasers have, like, autotargeting?
Also, Vader has way more stormtroopers than kirk has redshirts. just saying.
Only reason Kirk ain't to be counted out is... he has Scottie.
The devastating double fist punch is effective against any opponent.
Kirk beat up a Gorn. (Sort of). Vader's combat armor is nothing.
But, seriously, I doubt there's much armor there beyond his helmet; it looks mostly like padding. And what does he need armor for? He has the force, and it's cannon that he can deflect blaster beams. Don't know how well that'd work for phasers; it obviously has limits, or light sabers wouldn't be of any use. And armor wouldn't help against light sabers. So, I'm just not sure there's much actual armor in his outfit.
Unless it were made out of Cortosis ore... like a fiber weave mesh would do wonders:-).
Whereas Miles O'Brien's infinite transporter clone army had yet to be invented at the time...
