[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]How is the Scimitar designed to get around normally? It surely wasn't pushing against a handy ship for the whole trip to the nebula? [/quoteost_uid0]

That wasn't what I was getting at. If you try to pull two things apart by holding them in midair and only pulling on one of them, you won't have much success. Unless Picard ordered full reverse, this above scenario is akin to what Shinzon tried. An impact like what we witnessed should have left the ships firmly wedged together.

All this physics is making my head hurt. *goes back to his chemistry*[/colorost_uid0]
