Talk: Structural integrity

Hull breach[]

I would like to add some quotations. Quotations I got from watching a forgotten episode of Voyager. I forget which. "Hull breaches, five through ten."Hull breaches five through ten. Hull breach on deck 15. --Scripps Winborne Whorton Taylor 07:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm - could be a lot of eps... maybe VOY: "Year of Hell"? --- Jaz 07:37, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

It's not "Year of Hell" I'm sure. --Scripps Winborne Whorton Taylor 07:42, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinking about a game for Star Trek where they use quotations very much similar to what they use in Starcraft: http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/StarCraft_unit_quotations#Science_Vessel --Scripps Winborne Whorton Taylor 07:45, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I would love to see Blizzard Entertainment (Blizzard made Diablo II and StarCraft) do something like that for Star Trek. See StarCraft unit quotations.

I'm pretty sure the quotation about Hull Breach is from "Timeless". Correct me if i'm wrong. --Scripps Winborne Whorton Taylor 07:45, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

The only reference to "hull breach on deck 15" is in the episode "Deadlock". "Hull breach on deck fifteen, section twenty nine alpha. Emergency force fields are off-line." - Tuvok - and the quote or the scene isn't very memorable anyway. — Morder 07:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, no need for a quotation if it's simply "hull breach on deck whatever". --- Jaz 17:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Are we allowed to use USS Voyager quotations from www.chakoteya.net for Memory-Alpha quotes?--Scripps Winborne Whorton Taylor 18:24, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

The quote or the scene isn't very memorable but it is canon. Minutiae. --Scripps Winborne Whorton Taylor 18:24, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Here's the exact quote from Tuvok on the Bridge: TUVOK: Hull breach on decks five through ten.--Scripps Winborne Whorton Taylor 18:24, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

We try to only use quotations if they bring a certain significance to the page, that couldn't really be brought to the table otherwise. So for example, we might have used a quote from Tuvok talking about hull breaches if it provided an excellent summation of what a hull breach is or why it's significant. Similarly, we might included it if it was a pivotal or memorable moment either in the Star Trek narrative or in the development of a particular character. My feeling is that this quotation doesn't satisfy any of these. Maybe you want to put it on your user page instead? --- Jaz 07:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Structural integrity[]

This article is still missing a category. Ideas? – Tom 09:57, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Maybe Category:Energy? I'm not sure.--31dot 10:58, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

According to the definition it is a term which noticed the strength of the hull's energy, so it might be Category:Slang or a part of Military parlance ? – Tom 11:03, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

It's a mechanics thing, which we really don't touch on, so next best is Category:Physics. --Alan (talk) 15:48, July 16, 2019 (UTC)

Hull related articles[]

Like hull breach and hull stress, this article (structural integrity) could be merged with Hull and expand the latter one enormous. Currently it is just a "list" and we are lacking ideas for categories for the three articles. All three could be included as subsections and the terms left as redirects. – Tom 11:25, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Merged --Alan 16:43, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Also included microfracture. --Alan 18:09, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

I think, perhaps, that this should be split once again, as we have grown significantly in the past 9.5 years, and looking at the available references to "structural integrity", not all are in reference are to hulls, but structures in general (including a biosphere, dilithium chamber, a cavern, warp coils), a lot of which intermingles with structural integrity field. --Alan (talk) 12:55, May 1, 2019 (UTC)

Structural capacity[]

The article mentions "Captive Pursuit". Just before the cited line, O'Brien says, "Inertial stress is overloading his structural capacity," referring to Tosk's ship. Can this be assumed to be the same as integrity, and therefore listed as an alternate phrasing? (I couldn't find any other uses of "structural capacity" specifically with a Google search of the transcripts.) ~Bobogoobo (talk) 22:14, July 7, 2020 (UTC)

It sounds like an alternate term to me. 31dot (talk) 01:09, July 8, 2020 (UTC)
