Hi
In keeping with the ditl strength indices, was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the tholian webspinners for TOS?

It would be good as a defensive weapon, or for keeping disabled ships from escaping. Aside from that I cant imagine any offensive uses for such a device.

Whats up with the completely unrelated poll? :)

Ok in enterpirse but shit in TOS.

Even in Enterpirse it wasn't to good.

Oh and section 31 on the un related poll.

Hiya, i (all be it, grossly ineptly) like to fashion, miniature ships, from resin, epoxy putty and even wood, anyways, its mostly for tabletop wargames and giving away to pals, i've been thinking about tholians, and yes apart from the webspinners from ENT and TOS, we don't have any cannon representations of tholian vessels from TNG/DS9 era, so would it be entirely ridiculous and ''dominion battleship/dreadnought''/klingon bird of prey scaling nightmare'', for me to fashion some small webspinners but say, also create a larger version, was thinking making one about 2/3 the length of a Galor perhaps.....just after opinions here

Did we actually see any conventional weapons on the Tholian ships? The equivalent of phasers and torpedoes, I mean.

Enterprise got hit a bunch of times by some sort of weapon in the web.

Damn it! One of the TV networks was showing the Tholian episode of TOS, and I only caught the last ten minutes. :x
Hopefully they'll show it again soon.

I don't think there was any use of a Tholian "conventional" weapon in the TOS ep.

Of course, in the TOS ep, Enterprise could have gone to Earth and back before the web was complete...
