Re: Our ship - Random stuff
How about using the compartmentalization we discussed to be able to vent small subsections of each deck? Most invaders would need to either breathe or remain within a particular range of atmospheric pressure.

Re: Our ship - Random stuff
So the answer to a complex system that might malfunction is to add another complex system to it?

I think my answer to boarding parties is simplest - forcefields for containment, and then for the kill either the removal of the atmosphere or beamage into space

Which is the first complex system to which you refer? I don't think venting a section is terribly complex.GrahamKennedy wrote:So the answer to a complex system that might malfunction is to add another complex system to it?

Re: Our ship - Random stuff
I meant this :
And with the Defence turrets, makes good sense. Wasn't sure. Maybe you could have a advanced power management so if there was an issue with one malfunctioning, you could just cut power to that sections defence grid.

It'd deal with the stupid ones, but I think blast doors would be better. They'd be able to contain intruders wearing suits and transporter scramblers.Thorin wrote:I think my answer to boarding parties is simplest - forcefields for containment, and then for the kill either the removal of the atmosphere or beamage into space

And there'd be no way of technobabbling a way through one, and they stay up when the power goes down.

Expanded medical facilites and shuttle bays to take on wounded from other ships in the fleet. A medical vessel may not always be around.
Re: Our ship - Random stuff
Will we have that kind of available room? I was under the impression that what we have is a no frill battleship, designed for combat, not really evacuation and humanitarian missions. That would fall to the Ravage (Nebula Class) and Daystrom (Akira Class).

Re: Our ship - Random stuff
How much extra space is available? A larger or seperate treatment room isn't going to take up that much room, I'm referring to a facility allowing them to treat and stabilize battlefield injuries. Not restore them to full health, rather like a Battalion Aid Station.Mark wrote:Will we have that kind of available room?

Edit: what's 5% of a GCS's volume? As a side note, this is the kind of thing that happens in a CVBG or Gator Navy group. The carriers and amphibs have expanded sickbays.
