Re: space stations
It think it only gets repaired after combat. Black holes do not do combat damage.
5 Repair Bay IIIs are a small price to pay for imperial ego!

- I believe that was a ship, not a station.
- It wasn't that bad... for Disney... in the seventies.
- The Novelization isn't bad either, and makes some more sense out of the ending.

No, just send the USS Voyager in, fire some modified photon torpedoes at the event horizon to break a hole in it!

Re: space stations
Or any of the various Enterprises... or the Defiant or those runabouts from DS9... pretty much any ship in the history of ST with a main character on it. |

They didn't do that.... did they?
That is so wrong.

Re: space stations
As far as I know, no. But, you can put a space yard on a ship and move the ship to whereever you want it to go and then build the space station there.

That is beyond even Star Trek's level of disregard for reality.
I'm afraid to ask, but I must know the circumstances. |

Re: space stations
can't remember much, except they never called it a 'black hole', only a 'singularity'. 
they got caught in it and used a photon torpedo to shoot their way out of the event horizen.

Re: space stations
I believe the event horizon was referred to as an "energy barrier" as well.
Still, given FTL in realspace, the event horizon isn't a terribly important distance anymore. Just go sufficiently faster than light (so as to make outward progress), and you could get out.
Shooting at it is silly (since it is just a defined distance from the singularity, not a physical object). Replace "event horizon" with "geosynchronous orbit" and it should be even more obvious.
The only technobabble that would really make sense is an antigravity bomb.
