A slightly more understandable Star Trek spoiler.

How many mining ships can take on a warship, even from two centuries earlier? A properly handled sailing ship of the line would destroy an oil rig.

And where does a mining ship get photon torpedoes? (They used a weapon lock on the Kelvin, and shot something that looked like torpedoes. It's not like they had time to convert themselves to a warship while falling into a time warp.)

Maybe all Romulan ships have torpedoes, even the mining vessels? I'm ok with that. Space is a dangerous place. (After all, mining probably also involves some exploration for places to mine, right? And the exploratory Federation vessels were bristling with weaponry.)

Though I do love your image of an 18th-century ship of the line taking on an oil rig. That is a movie I would watch.

There is a comic book that takes you from the end of NextGen to the start of this film. It's supposed to fill in some backstory. Apparently the mining ship gets retrofitted with arms by the Romulans or something. Not sure if it is the contemporary Romulans or the future Romulans or what.
Neither really makes a lot of sense. (And you shouldn't need to have to read a comic to understand the movie. But, hell, that's just one of a large number of huge plot holes...)
Must see if I can find on bittorrent...
