Hi Tom, Thanks for that, I appreciate it. When reading about the defiant and quantums, I am seeing some serious game balance issues, sigh. thanks Tom, al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2013 9:59 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Star Trek ship info
Hi Al, As this is game related I'll allow this topic on list. Moreover since I'm an expert at this sort of thing I'll go ahead and answer your questions. Below are your questions and my answers. 1. Do quantum torpedo's work only on borg ships, how much damage do they do compared to a photon? Like double? Are shields effective against quantum's? A quantum torpedo will work on any enemy ship it is fired at. According to the Deep Space 9 technical manual the standard quantum torpedo will do 50 megawatts of damage as apposed to the standard 18 megawatts of a standard photon torpedo. So its almost three times as powerful as a standard photon. 2. what class of ship is the defiant? How does it's gatling phasers compare to a phaser shot from the enterprise D or enterprise E? The Defiant is a Defiant-Class Escort. As with U.S. Navy ships the ships in Star Trek get their class name from the first ship in that class to be built. In this case the U.S.S. Defiant was the first ship in its class to be built and placed in active service. As for the pulse phasers I couldn't find an exact amount of damage for this, but its suppose to deliver about three times the damage of a type x phaser. Since the type x on the Enterprise D does about 5.1 megawatts of shield damage per phaser it must be somewhere between 15 and 16 megawatts of power per shot.. 3. Does anyone have any trek websites with good ship break downs for the famous ships? Mostly crew sizes and clas type. I'll have to look for my old bookmarks file for Firefox, but I had a couple of websites that had copies of the Star Trek technical manuals as well as other related materials that you could read online. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
