    That sounds like a good aproximation...
    They actually take themselves seriously on that...

    Apparently, tritanium is 21.4 times harder than diamond. (I'm certain you knew this; I'm just mentioning it in the off chance you don't.)

    Also, in the Enterprise episode entitled "Impulse," a disabled vulcan ship had been adrift inside a dense asteroid field for at least several hours, possibly months, sustaining collision after collision.

    And it's important to note that the Vulcan ship was completely powerless and shieldless, and was a much more primitive vessel than even the TOS Enterprise.

    yes i know. however this reflects tritanium's resistance to mechanical damage, and we do not yet know what kind of damage the disrupting weapons (phasers, disruptors, large turbo lasers?) do. i'd still guess that tritanium should be more dificult to disrupt (vapourise) then rock or iron since they use it as war ship armor.

    I concure although I was previously unaware of the ENTERPRISE episode the concurs with. It is for me illuminating.

    Saquist, the impact of the Valdore's wingman's warp pylon chunk into the Ent-E's warp nacelle provides a good view into the strength of Tritanium and the ships armor - even a thin, narrow, mostly hollow warp nacelle can withstand tremendous impact!

    That was Tritanium?
    I though starship hulls were made of Duranium.

    I was under the impression it's a mix, with the nacelles and pylons being made of the sturdier Tritanium alloy?

    Well I don't know now...I'll have to look it up again.

    don't know how acurate or canon this is, but i think that UFP ships use tritanium for the bulkheads and duranium foam for plating and isolation. in other words the more dense tritanium forms the skeleton of the ship while the the lighter duranium makes up for the lager quantity of stucture. the ratio may vary though. i'd expect heavy large vessels like the Sovereign and Galaxy to have more tritanium based composition, unlike light scout like designs (Intrepid, Norway, Saber, Nova) to be more duranium based. still shuttles are mostly tritanium and shuttles are suposed to be light right?

    Aparently you're right. I looked up Memory Alpha and it said just so...Amazing...such a strong material.

    Oh yes...the debris bounced off the Port dorsal shield.

    On the saucer section yes - but that shield was at 10% and dropping. Off the nacelle, I don't believe so - only the structural integrity field remained I think, though I'm not 100%

    Well, what do you expect of ships that can take a planet exploding to the face?=)

    That's because licking paint is a pastime for them.

    Well, it's rather that they lie and twist things to their own ends. I went there when I first got into the debate between the two, and they claimed that the Borg couldn't adapt because imperial weapons didn't have a frequency (bullshit). Not only were they wrong about that, but they were also wrong about the fact that the Borg can only adapt to things with a frequency.
