Inspiration: Stalled Trek: Amutt Time HD Reupload

Amutt Time remastered! New HD picture with the same old low resolution jokes! The original Stalled Trek parody from 2012. I went back to the original elements and reassembled it in HD for inclusion on the Stalled Trek: The City on the Edge of Foreclosure blu ray. Amutt Time is an Animated Puppet Parody of the classic Trek episode, Amok Time.

I guess McCoy had some bones in this fight.

Inspiration: Stalled Trek: The City on the Edge of Foreclosure (Full Movie)

When Captain Krok and Mr. Spott hop through a stone donut to travel back to 1930 New York City, Krok finds he can’t have his fate and Edith, too! Stalled Trek: The City On the Edge of Foreclosure is an Animated Puppet Parody of what many consider to be the greatest Trek of all time. Written, Animated & Directed by Mark R. Largent.

It's better than Disco.

Spacecraft: Armaments, Spinal Mounts, Mass Drivers, and Launch Tubes

1. Factor/one mass driver spinal mount is five kilotonnes, requires two hundred fifty power points, and costs one and a half gigastarbux.

2. Short range, twelve and a half hundred klix, four dice damage times a thousand, and armour piercing factor/fifteen.

3. Weapons with the Orbital Bombardment trait suffer DM-12 when attacking any target that can manoeuvre in space combat.

4. To get twelve and a half hundred klix in six minutes, means minimum muzzle velocity of twelve and a half thousand kilometres per hour.

5. 9.80665 metres per second, times three and three fifths thousand, would be 35'303.94 kilometres per hour.

6. 12'500/35'303.94 equals 0.3540681295062251 gees.

7. So, what's the muzzle velocity of a smallcraft emerging from a launch tube?

8. Five hundred tonne launch tube, requires five hundred power points, and costs a quarter gigastarbux.

9. Mass driver spinal mount slug weights fifty tonnes, and costs half a megastarbux.

Spacecraft: Armaments, Spinal Mounts, Mass Drivers, and Launch Tubes

A. Large mass driver bay is five hundred tonnes, requires thirty five power points, and costs eighty megastarbux.

B. Default medium range, ten thousand klix, and six dice damage times a hundred.

C. 100'000/35'303.94 equals 2.832545036049801 gees.

D. Very advanced long range, twenty five klix, and six dice damage times a hundred.

E. At a hundred megastarbux.

F. 250'000/35'303.94 equals 7.081362590124502 gees.

G. It occurs to me, that you can't accelerate while firing the mass driver spinal mount.

H. At 0.3540681295062251 gee muzzle velocity, the starwarship would collide with the mass driver slug.

I. This is, of course, the velocity calculated over six minutes.

J. If it takes less than six minutes to reach twelve and a half hundred klix, than the muzzle velocity is faster.

K. But, since most spacecraft accelerate at least at one gee, it would have to be five times faster, before the spacecraft has time to use it's agility to avoid that collision.

Spacecraft: How Star Trek Ruined Shuttlecraft...

Today we take a look at the original Designs of shuttlecraft for Star Trek the Original Series; While the Galileo 7 would go on to define shuttlecraft design not only in Trek but Sci-Fi Television as a Whole. Matt Jefferies Original Vision was quite different... rather than the Utilitarian 'Space Van' design which has since become Synonomous with trek. Jefferies Original concepts were far more elegant and ambitious, and today we compare and contrast them looking at the shuttles that could have been...

1. Helicopter

2. Metal box.

3. Varied.
