Gamma Mission Prep

[Teaos]

I like that one Mikey. I agree that adding a totally new type of tube is just to much work and may be near impossible for a ship this old.

Also just because something could be done to the ship doesnt mean it would be done. The Akira normally has no armour, itwas only added in key areas of the ship in Beta mission because I traded our photon torpedoes for it. There is no reason to assume every upgrade that can be made has been made.

[Thorin]

I'm not sayin you're being "fanboyish," Thorin - I'm saying that perhaps I've been too averse to it.

I know - I was merely commenting in preparation for the inevitable 'wanktastic' and 'fanboy' ship statements to come.

I agree about coming to a 'terminal velocity', but I'd have though we could get some type 1 burst fires, just to show some physical improvement in the ship - as opposed to simply increasing figures of phaser wattage or shield energy. Perhaps the ones on the 'pod' could be them? Maybe 6 x type 1 burst fires, and 9 x pulse fires? It'd give the torpedos an index of 11745, which isn't noticable in the grand scheme, but just adds that little extra.

[Tsukiyumi]

I have to say, I do like Thorin's revised numbers for the Paladin. They almost fit into the original constraints without being TOO powerful.

I kind of feel the same way..........it's SUPPOSED to be powerful. Way beyond a Soverign class at this point. But not an Uber-ship at the same time.

What I tried to do was go with the idea that the mechanisms couldn't, or wouldn't, be replaced on a ship this age - instead I tweaked the things that one would think could easily be upgraded: regenerative shielding, fire control (reflected in "range & accuracy,") increased power generation reflected in both warp speed and maneuverability, etc.

[Teaos]

Very reasonable.

[Reliant121]

Thorin, i think your stats for the Paladins combat maneouvrability are way to fast. at a maximum i'd have 1,000, The Galaxy was fairly maneouvrability.

[Teaos]

I havent done the final calculations for the stats just yet but the maneouverability is gonna be about 900 I think.

[Reliant121]

I was saying because Thorin had it at 4,000 or something like that and that is WAY too fast for this juggernaught.

[Teaos]

Where are those numbers? The stats on the last page are for the Daystrom arent they?

[Reliant121]

He did one for the Paladin class below the Daystrom's stats.

[Tsukiyumi]

Accuse me of being fanboyish all you want (I'm really not, I couldn't give two hoots whether ST is better than SW or whatever else - I only deal in facts and figures as people who know what I'm *officially* doing as an undergrad - should know). Anyway, personally I'd do something along these lines - I've just plonked in the Sovereign and Galaxy for some comparisons (and if we ever do use them later on).

The man has a point. These stats make more sense for 2390 without being unreasonable.

[Reliant121]

Unreasonable? Combat manouevrability of 4,100?! thats more maneouvrable than the Daystrom for godsakes.

[Teaos]

I'll be doing the work up over the next two days, I've already started and we have basically finished the designing. Only the random stuff and the final shape with doesnt have much inpact on my write up.

But I agree and am going with Reliant, 4,100 is WAY to high. This thing is under 1,000.

[Tsukiyumi]

Sorry, I meant to clarify that.

I'd say maybe 1,000 based on upgraded thrusters. The rest makes sense using the "remove unneeded crap" philosophy.
