 Animated STAR TREK - Series Background
The animated Star Trek series had its faults mostly due to the limited range of action that could be portrayed given the limited animation employed and the time pressures under which the series was produced.

Moreover, as insulting as the Temporal War was as an "out" for the writers to disguise their terrible attention to details in the "Star Trek" timeline, the concept of the Expanse is equally inane.
Sure, they attacked Earth (something we are told in "Star Trek Deep Space Nine" had not happened in hundreds of years and that even the Klingons had not dared to try), but this season, on their turf, they are factionalized and often come across as silly as opposed to menacing.
That's not "Star Trek." This DVD set might be enjoyed by people who like mindless, action-adventure science fiction, but fans of "Star Trek" will find little to enjoy here.

 Star Trek Reviews Deep Space Nine Season 3
Anyone capable of steering a plot against them into a turnabout of fortunes the way they did is someone against whom it will be difficult to plot against in the future -- and anyone difficult to plot against is the worst kind of foe.
While all the plotting revolving around the battle with the Founders was extremely well done, the Garak/Odo torture sequences somehow felt a little "detached" from the rest of the show, at least where I was concerned.
And finally, the final battle sequence was simply one of Trek's best battle moments on the small screen -- so much so, in fact, that it appeared the Defiant had been kidnapped and replaced by the Millennium Falcon.

That means that almost any ship that's ever appeared on a Star Trek TV show or movie is probably in the game.

 Star Wars vs Star Trek Hatemail: Byron Macfarlane
I'm sorry but you can't compare Star Trek and Star Wars because one is Science Fact and deals with real life issues and ethics and morals and the other is Science Fantasy and is just cowboys in space and is about having fun.
And if you ever saw Star Trek 8 or Star Trek 9 or several of the DS9 episodes including "The Warrior's Way" and "Sacrifice of Angels" you would see that maneuverability are very important and are used constantly.
Well accepting the fact that a device such as the death star would not be able to produce more energy than it would if it was made of solid uranium-238 and was transferred into pure energy, then the death star COULD NOT destroy a planet.

In the episode "Rise" (Star Trek: Voyager, episode 60, teleplay by Brannon Braga, story by Jimmy Diggs, directed by Robert Scheerer), it was stated quite clearly that Voyager's firepower was more than adequate to destroy the asteroid, and it was treated as a mystery as to why they didn't.
Commonly, Star Wars zealots fail to point out that the concentration and heat of vaporization of triatium is completely unknown, and, is quite probably fairly high.
