Yesterday I decide watch another TOS episode, I like “Let THat Be Your Last Battlefield”.
Something I notice people forget about old Star Trek is how the enterprise was capable of terraforming entire planets or even decontainment it in just a seconds in the episode.
This is also funny to me because Spore game did the playeable spaceship into capable of creating life or destroying it at player’s will.
I have the feeling Star Trek writers just forget about this.
What you think about this enterprise feature?
I dont know if this is ever established in canon, but my theory is this is what allows the Borg to travel nearly instantaneously. Their transwarp corridors allow them to compress the infinite possibilities down to finite paths, and they’re limited only by where they have established transwarp exit nodes. Otherwise they’d go all salamander-ey everytime they used transwarp.
