Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet
The longer I look at them, the uglier they get.

This is what you get when you weld parts of three ships together just to save some time and a few (hundred) bucks.

Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet
Rig an EM Pulse like I did in the Daystrom RP and hope it doesn't cause things to shut down on my ship as well (you never know w/ those crates) and hope it gives my weapons a spitting chance against there hull, or enough time to retreat and call for reinforcements.GrahamKennedy wrote:Maybe. Both of those have been done before, mind.
So what would YOU do in that situation, thread readers? Your enemy has better weapons, better shields, is faster, more agile. If you go to warp he'll detect it and chase you down in minutes, so you can't run. Without resorting to technobabble, what could you do to win?
Sound good?

The real probelm is that they used other models as well. Not to mention the inherent size problems.MightyDwarf wrote:This is what you get when you weld parts of three ships together just to save some time and a few (hundred) bucks.
There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

For me, the only DS9 kitbash that is bearable is definitely the Centaur

Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet
I'm still not convinced that the Centaur belongs in the "Frankenstein fleet." Its parts seem to match fairly well.

Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet
I thought so, but they touted it as a Frankenstein.

Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet
The Centaur always LOOKED to me like a frigate to the Excelsior class.

They look like Phyllis Diller,

Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet
I, personaly, never regarded the Centaur as a member of the Frankenstein Fleet.

Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet
I suppose it's technically a Frankenstein since it's a kitbash, and there's a big question mark over where the warp core is, but it's a graceful ship, unlike the "true" Frankensteins - the uglies.

Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet
And it seemed to stand up to a bug.
Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet
True. Her Captain seemed quite confident in his ship, that it COULD handle that bug alone.

Re: Graham's Frankestien Fleet
Sisko seemed to disable the Centaur pretty easilly, even only targeting her weapons.
