I wouldn't kill anyone.

I'd just put the thing in geosynchronis orbit over France and laugh.

Absolutely.

IMHO, the original series was the best. Sure, the special effects were cheesy but it was the only sci-fi series I can think of with a sense of humor and where the characters didn't take themselves to seriously.

Kirk: Well, once again we've saved the universe.
McCoy: And the good news is, they're not going to prosecute.

Only if it was built by the stuff from total annihilation which counts as one gadget.

But then you have all those boring, pushy, drones under foot all the time, muttering "you will serve the Borg" at inopportune moments, etc.

quote: Sorry. Replicators will require vast amounts of energy that will not be "free". Very cheap... but not free.

Naw, the replicator runs on its own proton fusion power cell. Getting the elemental stock required for some items might be difficult, especially replacement parts for the replicator. "Please deposit 2 grams of Americium to continue replication process."

Not if I OWN the cube, 'cause then the borg drones will serve me, particularily the ones who look like Seven of Nine.

A Borg Cube isn't a gadget, neither is a Death Star.

Of course, when she still was a drone she didn't look that great...

It's always baffling why starships are so big and heavily crewed. Did the electronic revolution never happen in that alternate timeline?

the federation is based off the U.S. Navy.

And the U.S. Navy today still requires heavy crews despite our technology. Although the U.S. Navy isn't as technologically advanced as people think (except for weapons technology of course). I see better technology in the private sector. When I was in computer use was low. Everything was done on paper.

In any case they needed large crews so they had a large supply of "extras" that could be killed during battlescenes. Because unlike the U.S. navy, the officers do all the work- not the enlisted men. All they really needed is officers.

Chief o'brien is like the only enlisted person I have ever seen on the show.
