I mean who the fuck needs to worry about Sovereign class warships if you can just reverse the neutron flow on the Breen Energy Damper and still take one out with your Bird of Prey.

Most starships are not sporting the starbase-calibre fusion reactors that power this thing. Birds of Prey, and for that matter Battlecruisers need not apply in its case. Given that energy dampening weapons, capable of disabling a warship in a single hit, are canonical in Star Trek, the notion of having one that works on modern vessels is not unreasonable, given the quantities of power in play. All that's stopping the actual Breen versions from affecting your ships is a technobabble modification after all.

The only thing allowing them to work at all is authorial fiat "shields won't work lol". Considering how powerful that technology is, if a bunch of Orions can hotwire it to work on an advanced Romulan warship with a Borg power core then its

1) every major power in the Alpha and Beta Quadrant is going to invest huge resources to research it, perfect it, and mount it on their capital ships

or

2) invest major resources in defeating it.

Probably both.

You're the GM. You can do what the fuck you want. I was responding to White Haven and I stand by my assertation that it is less likely that between

a) it working at all on Marcao's pimped out, Borg powered battlecruiser

and

b) Marcao would have a way of restoring power and overcoming such a well known and surely heavily studied weapon on his pimped out, nonstandard, Borg power cored battlecruiser

that

a) is the least likely option.

Look it's there, it's to late to fight about it now, let's finish the in game fight and then have an out of game fight, okay?

Indeed, Frigid. Let's get this done, everyone.

LadyTevar · Post by **LadyTevar** » Sat Jun 11, 2011 8:41 pm

Yes, Please. I want to get on with it.

There is no Overkill
There is only "Open Fire" and "Need to Reload"

Still... damn. The R'iov won't be happy what we did to his Tender. I wonder if he even knew how tough he'd built it

Peeled like a grape.

And now... for the aftermath.

Hey guys.... I will remind everyone that both the tender and the S'harien are without shields at the moment, in the BADLANDS.

I will be posting tonight if I can get away with it.

May I remind you that YES, they both have shields, because the S'harien got it's power back, and the Tender was hit THROUGH it's shields because we had the code.

General Havoc · Post by **General Havoc** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 6:44 pm

The Tender's shields have completely failed due to the tremendous battering they just sustained. My understanding is that S'harien's are beginning to come back online. While that will protect S'harien, the Tender is presently without shield coverage, and will remain so even after S'harien gets her shields back, as the battlecruiser cannot extend her own shields far enough to cover the entire Tender as well as herself while she is beginning to charge them from scratch. Only with her shields at full power could she (or anyone else) do this.

Damn BoP's, and they're even run by pirates.

And people wonder why my ship has a small supply of phased plasma torps.

I admit, I'm just stalling since I'm still trying to think of what to do.

But Hotfoot, Cyncat, Charon, and Frigid aside, the rest of ya'll have no excuse.

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 7:19 pm

Scylla is busy trying to keep the tender from being obluterated by the plasma storms, and itching to start ripping it apart for spare parts. :)

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 7:46 pm

I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm letting you guys clean up the mess you made while I figure out my next move, namely if I can stage a peaceful mutiny.

Marcao · Post by **Marcao** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 9:27 pm

CT, I did not see your post until after I posted. I will throw out a post tomorrow responding to it. I apologize for the prolonged absence, I will endeavor to get back into posting regularly. ^_^

I've edited my post to include a reply to Riov Cretak.

Soo...

General Havoc · Post by **General Havoc** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 6:20 pm

Sorry, I've been very busy recently. I'll get on this ASAP.

Eh, you're not the bottleneck this time, Havoc. *rings a little bell and looks around*
