Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
Constitution. That's only a rough figure; this isn't just my project. The final number will be whatever we think is reasonable for a functioning starship.
Also, it should still remain Star Trek. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Artificial gravity? Hmm...I don't see so much of a problem. After all, the've got pretty fast FTL. Sure, it'd be hideus for us...But them? Not so sure. |
Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
They also have structural integerty fields, running along specialized conduits in the bulkheads. Those probally direct the gravity as well.

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
I agree, no big changes to the ST universe. Just drop some of the inconsistancies between the different series.
200 sounds about right for a constitution class. I believe the manual I have states that gravity would fluctuate slightly from the center of the generator to the edges. I forget how big they are, but I think they are about half the width of the coridors. I'll try to find the book tonight and bring it to work tommorrow. |
Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
I have the technical manual for the Enterprise-D. So all your questions about that ship, I can answer. I've also seen every TNG episode ever made, all the movies, most of the Enterprise episodes, and quite a few Voyager episodes...

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
I think I have the same book.
Cloak detection: Exhaust, Tachyons, or neither? I'm partial to the tachyon method myself. Anyone else, for or against? |
Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
Anyone remember the original pilot for ST? Captain Pike (with Constitution Enterprise) had a crew of 150 or something like that although granted he lost a third of his crew somehow but still anyone remember that?
Although some people say it was not in fact the Constitution class enterprise but instead just a very similar hull configuration, like the "DReadnought" which was basically just an oversized constitution with three engines. |
Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
I remember one where they put him on trial, I think. It's been a while so I might be completly confused. I don't remember and details though.

Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
Theoretically, it can be done for either. Tachyons are emitted by the cloaking device, which CAN be masked... The helium exhaust can just be placed in empty deutrium tanks.

Quote:
You can do pretty good, by limiting power generation and concentrating your emissions in hard-to-detect forms and directions, though. You could also buffer the emissions temporarily... for thermal emissions, it would be like refridgerating the outer hull and pumping all the heat into a specially designed container until it melts down. |
Re: OT: Revised Edition Star Trek
I think, in one TNG episode they mentioned that they had mastered thermodynamics. Have they ever used thermal sensors to detect cloaked ships?
