8000 LY of the IOM Territory ISOT to Star Trek Universe

They aren't outside of game mechanics, but using that you can get that the bog standard personal shield can take somewhere around 4-5 hits from a phaser before it is knocked down. They also have an auto regenerate function where they recover strength over time.

Yes.

It varies from light armor to some type of power armor.

If you have man portable weapons that can take out modern armor what use would all that have?

If you have a ship which can't be detected and can destroy all life on any planet in a single shot how does any of that matter?

Let change that to support the imperium.
If you have a ship which can't be stopped, and can destroy all life on any planet in a single shot, how does any of that matter?

I've never been good with interstellar distances.

They pull a knife, you pull a chainsword. He sends one of your planets a Thaloronic weapon, you send ten of his the Life Eater Virus. That's the Imperial way!

Playing competitive whack-a-planet against the Imperium would not end well for the Romulans.

One leaves your enemies infrastructure intact for you to use, the other doesn't. Also the ship that can't be detected can turn their weapon on the other ship.

You said destroy planet, I assumed you meant a planet killer, and if we're talking about taking infrastructure, even the now more ground fighty trek forces is still not going to be able to fight off combined arms forces of the imperium.

And what do you mean by "can turn their weapon on the other ship" as in they can fire on other ships? 40k ships can fire on ships moving at 75% light speed, hitting moving targets ain't going to be a problem, and even then they can ram trek ships, it'll be like a car hitting flies on the windshields. And it will take major fleets to simply lower the shields on the average 40k ship, which will be back up a in a minute tops.

Would Thalaronic radiation even penetrate a planetary void shield?

Better question how long would the Romulan ship last the moment an astropath psyker picks out its location with magic and punches its location into a firing computer?

I dunno, the lifespan would vary depending whether they were using a torpedo or an energy weapon - different travel times.

Oh, it might last for a while. 40k ships are used to shooting at targets several kilometers long, remember; if the Romulan ship was lucky, it might be able to bob and weave long enough to get out of range.

Now, closing in to try and attack. . . would be unwise. Given that Trek seems to work at a few kilometers range while 40k combat occurs at tens of thousands of kilometers.

True, but then they're also used to shooting at targets moving rather faster than Trek vessels and hence tend to be... enthusiastic about spreading the love around the approximate area of the target.

Good lord no. To my knowledge they have an 'anti-orbital laser' of some kind that can at best irritate most cruisers.

Weps as in weapons? I think you checked wrong.

If you want to read the "gigaton torpedoes" quote that particular way, you can argue weapons with 4 parsec ranges.

I means space ship/space station weapons.

Not particularly, the plethora of point defense guns would do nicely against Romulan D'Deridex's.

Emperor Titans can carry defense lasers, if that's what you mean. Defense lasers are the equivalent of small lance batteries; not 'battleship-class', no, but a respectable threat to warships.

Unless they were equipped with warp engines then I definitely wouldn't.

Yeah I'm definitely going to need to see a quote, because that sounds far too retarded to be true.

My mistake if I wasn't clear enough.

And why would they need combined arms forces?

No I mean as in they can turn that planet killer against other ships.

Thalaron radiation is a low energy EM radiation, do void shields block things like natural light or radio waves? If not it is unlikely the shields would stop them. And why would they even raise the shields if they ship was cloaked and they didn't know an attack was coming?

STO stealth is at least partially effective against psychic abilities as having the telepathy ability only creates an increased chance to hit them.

Combined arms is better then Trek forces, ergo use combined arms, or whatever really, just overwhelm the trek side on ground, its all doable.

And isn't Trek planet killers that aren't technobabble outliers?

40k ships never turn of shields, why would a defensive fleet, offensive fleet turn there's off?

And we proved 40k psykers have greater range then trek psykers, and more experienced using psychic powers as scanning.

A thought just occurred to me. At this point in time, the Federation has reached the point where it is capable of holding out against The Borg. Not just against one Cube or two, but an actual full blown assault. From what I've seen the Federation can actually take on a Cube and win with around half a dozen ships or less (Heck, I saw a video where a single ship thrashes a Cube all by itself).

That fact represents an alarming rate of technological advancement over the last century just by itself, made all the more impressive when you think about the idea that the Borg probably haven't been exactly static over the last century either. This is partly speculation on my part, but I'd say it wouldn't be much of a leap to assume that Starfleet ships could actually pose a somewhat credible threat to their Imperial counterparts.

Who says combined arms are better then Trek ground forces?

This is the STO timeline not the TV series one.

We are talking about planetary void shields.

No you didn't, your side zeroed in on a singe race and said because high end IOM psykers are better then them they are better then all ST races.

Except there are no Fed ships, since the IoM replaced most of the Alpha Quadrant.

Yes, but I think it goes without saying that the Klingons have kept pace with the Federation over the years, otherwise they'd never pose the very credible threat to the Federation that they are in the game.

I don't know much about trek, I know even less about the MMO.

I'm not sure about planetary shields.

And fine then, show us Trek having multi-light year psychic capability.

Even measuring matters in Cubes, Trek has rather a long way to go to match even the lightest of IoM combatants. A single Cobra-class Destroyer could basically run rampant over the fleets of 24th century Trek, for example.

Actually there will be some federation ships left and maybe a couple of far off colonies. After all it is only a sphere of space 8,000 light years across.

I already mentioned cases of that, but to reiterate the Betazoids, Undine, and Ocampan races showed that type of ability. Out of all of them the Undine have the longest ranges, they also have psychic attacks.
