In Response To: Re: Forward unto Dawn episode 2 - out now (SonGoharotto) : Except the Kobayashi Maru was a deliberately untenable situation as a test of : one's judgement. I've always seen the Kobayashi Maru test to be a sign of Starfleet's incompetence as an effective fighting force. As an assessment of one's cumulative skills as a cadet, the premise of the scenario is very sound and a great tool for instructors. However, the test as a whole merely promotes how to lead people in an impossible scenario and doesn't seem to encourage eccentric, "out of the box" tactics that James Kirk used. Though he cheated, Kirk still demonstrated his skills as a tactician and utilized functionality (jamming, etc.) which you would expect of a warship in the 23rd century. Which brings me to... : I, too, was scratching my head that the cadets' motion tracker was really just
You have to presume that the Innies utilize the same technologies as you do in their combat armor. In this case, motion trackers become just another tool and not the solution to your problem. It inspires cadets to continue to advance on the enemy through tactics which displace and keep your enemy on the move, regardless if they know precisely where you are.
