Yes, but if we had a fairer voting system then the Tories would murder premature babies and take soldier’s armour away.

It seems to be the other way around, since mass is still a thing, and at least according to Geordi in relics, a small old ship like the Jenolan can still run circles around the Enterprise, probably because of its comparatively smaller size and lighter weight. There’s less power that has to be shifted around the warp engine to shove the ship around.

Just in the spirit of shows underselling ship capabilities, I could see a federation flagship having a potentially better agility to mass ratio than a basic shuttle any civilian could pilot for leisure.

I mean we’re usually seeing top of the line ships going toe to toe, even if they were to move around like that, the other ships can probably keep up.

It wouldn’t be unbelievable to see the Enterprise D run circles round a slow private shuttle, but usually a tractor beam would get the job done and use less energy without said shuttle crashing or something.

As for inertial dampeners, maybe they need some charge up time and/or predicable movement. We often see people on the bridge getting thrown around from small sub-light nudges.

On thing that irked me about Picard S3 was how agile the Millennium FalconEnterprise D was flying into the core of the Death StarBorg Cube
