Here's another question in regards to the klingon attack on the Enterprise. You say you're going to have the Klingons open fire on the Enterprise which will cause Chekov's station to burn him and engineering to go haywire. How will you handle Enterprise's damage? Will their shields be up during the attack and everything that goes on inside just be a reaction, or will the Enterprise lost it's shields and sustain physical battle damage on the outside?

We don't have details on what FF is planning, that was just my suggestion. My further suggestion is yes, the shields were up. Since all of the damage we see is electrical, it could be the shields overloading through consoles and such. Adding damage to the E for every shot afterward would require a ton of work that I don't think any of us could do. We could replace every shot of the ship with one from Star Trek 2 or 3, but then people would start to wonder why she always seems to get damaged in the exact same spots. Weak points in the hull or something?
