These rules are set in stone in the universe to prevent bad things from happening.

Set in stone in THIS universe. This DIMENSION has many universes. Other dimensions are capable of supporting FTL travel, time travel, and McDonalds. And what does Jack Simth do all the time.....?

Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut
 
If you travel faster than light, then bad things start to happen like I said. You catch up with your own light emmisions, which would build up under newtonian physics, and you would vaporize the front of your vessel. If you tried shooting any energy weapons, what shot the energy beam would get hit by the energy beam. Optical devices would cease to function as they cannot travel forward to the axis of movement, due to going faster than light. It would be impossible to see behind you, because of you moving faster than light. Light would have more energy relative to you, so any energy weapons fired at you would do exponential amounts of damage. If you're moving 10x the speed of light, then energy weapons fired directly at you from in front would do 11x times the damage. The good side is that noone can see you coming http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

The Picard Maneuver

NullAshton March 7th, 2005 11:57 AM

Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut
 
On Star Trek:Starfleet Command III, I use tactical warp all the time. Aim at a target, activate it. Drop out of warp right on top of them, while unleasing a full salvo of quantum torpedos to remove the shields, then tear apart their hull with pulse phasers. If the enemy has disruptors... They shoot before you drop out of warp, and either shoot in front of you, or behind you.

Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut
 
I haven't got SFC III, just version I - I was talking about theoretical knowledge from the Omnipedia and a TNG episode where Picard goes back to the place where he destroyed that Ferengi ship and another Ferengi has found the Stargazer and tricks Picard into coming aboard, so he can use some sort of strange device on him to make him believe that he is back to when he executed the maneuver and thinks Enterprise is the Ferengi ship.

If that sounds like I'm a total ner Trekkie, you are mistaken. I am merely a Trekkie, and somewhat of a nerd.

Also, there appear to be some strange discrepancies regarding the Stargazer - from what I know Picard served on board the Stargazer as a lieutenant or something when it encountered the Ferengi ship, which then fired at the Stargazer and killed the captain. Picard took command, which wasn't really necessary because he already was in command of the ship at the time. He then went on to blow the crap out of the Ferengi, but the Stargazer was too damaged to keep flying so Picard abandoned her behind a moon and left it behind. He then went on to command it for 22 years before captaining the Enterprise when it finally was decommissioned. Later, as I said, Ferengi found it and used it to try and kill Picard.

NullAshton March 7th, 2005 12:17 PM

Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut
 
I believe Picard took command of the Stargazer during an attack by the Nuuyad(can't remember the exact name). He was the second officer at the time. The first officer was in a coma. Picard kicked Nuuyad butt, saved the people of some planet, went back home. The first officer was transfered I believe, and Picard was given command of the U.S.S. Stargazer. During the Ferengi attack, he sustained heavy damage, and created the Picard maneuver. A short 1 second warp burst, creating 2 images of the ship. The vessel shoots where the vessel was, not where it is currently, and the Stargazer opens fire with all weapon batteries and destroys the vessel.

Now then, about the Bar Wars II...

Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut
 
I haven't heard that version of the story yet, I thought Picard assumed command of the Stargazer during the battle with the Ferengi.

Nah, he was already in command.

Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut
 
I can do better.

In deep space, twenty COMCAs move to reinforce the five already present in orbit around Sol III. One foolish GT Enterprises enforcer ship tries to stop the COMCAs - the tiny War Assault Cruiser is vaporised before it can even raise its shields and complete its message.

The COMCAs are all equipped with SYs, Repair Bays, FTL Travel Cores, Tachyonic Acceleration Disruptors, Advanced Gravitational Matrices and Advanced Hyper-Disruptors.

As soon as they arrive, they start refitting the five COMCAs already present to this new design.


"Well then..... I say we need two more people in this, and then we'll have enough to storm the B&G. And Narf? Are you still sending in the NSN Murphy's Law? If you don't we need three more people. Oh, and I think the standard Won-Ton security forces can also be counted on, so....."

Construction is started on the USS Spatial Distortion with Temporal Shipyards. This massive sphere is the size of Jupiter, and equipped with spatial compression technology inside. 100 massive wave-motion guns are mounted along the hull.6 massive circular antiproton phased-array are on each side, capable of targeting anywhere within 360 degrees. 10,000 point-defense guns are mounted on rotatable raised turrets, offering maximum visibility and accuracy. A null-space field generator is at the core, capabable of creating an area of null-space anywhere within 10 kilometers of the surface of the ship. Neural networks run throughout the entire ship, creating a class 9 AI, which operates the null-space field generator with precision. Gravity sensors are equipped along the surface, capable of detecting a single atom. This is powered by a massive ZPE reactor.

Strategia_In_Ultima March 7th, 2005 04:36 PM

Re: The Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut
 
Deep inside the mind of a modder, construction is being started on the new DCOMCA.

A massive sphere of a ship, it cannot be stopped by anything short of a massive black hole. It is build from a Dyson Sphere - the Sphere was there, be it for habitation or purely ship construction, and then they went and made a ship out of the whole bloody sphere - and has shielding capable of withstanding the center of a small black hole indefinitely. Its weapons are unsurpassed, as its massive 500TT of size allow for a LOT of weapons batteries.

.....But wait, hadn't that B&G b**ch Angel said something before about "my ship is bigger than your ship" simply being something like "my frankfurter is bigger than your frankfurter"? And by the way, it's getting kinda tedious. So let's stop at your P-Destroyers, OK?

It's not P-Blasters, NA. You don't even seem to know your ship names.

Aah..... that's why my fleet's sensors detected colony ships, supply tankers and science vessels in your fleet's formation!

And since you'd probably send a Frigate to deal with tough defenses, and you'll let a COMCA handle a small group of satellites, I suggest we have a vote for command of the orbital fleet and ground forces.

The candidates so far (to become one you need at least one ship on the scene):
-NA, who doesn't even know the names of his own ships.
-Me.

Narf is not included in this list yet because it's not clear whether or not the NSN Murphy's Law is present yet. Last thing I remember was it having supposed engine trouble - the chief engineer filled it up with regular unleaded instead of premium or something.

I got the P-Blaster confused with the B-Destroyer. Similar names... Oh, and bad news on the NSN Murphy's Law, it got hit by a freak spatial anomaly and hit the center of a blackhole.

8 Transport III's enter formation at the center of the fleet, each carrying a full load of infantry and Origami III's.

Some ground troops.

Erm..... Origami III?

And I already had landing ships in place.

Quote:


Ten Massive Traders equipped with lots of shielding drop out of the WP, loaded to the brim with Armies and assorted other ground combat squadrons to fill up space - and with the Armies weighing in at 250kT each, and Artillery - the strongest GC unit in Capship - is 50kT, and approx. 50kT is used by commanding officers (required), so you can imagine the strength. Also, as Massive Traders are 4000kT in size, and they have an inherent extra cargo carrying capacity of 10MT, well, you get the idea - and move to formations around the planet, selecting formations and positions that allow for easy troop dropping.

No, just kidding. I think it's best if my Heavy Armor Armies unload first, as they can take lots of damage.

And I haven't heard any votes about to whom the leadership of the Hut Defense Forces should go.....?

Those on the list can't vote. If you vote and then supply ships, your name will come on the list and your vote will be forfeit. Anyone can supply ships or units. Anyone who does so will be placed on the list.

Oh, suuure..... you just gotta blam them FOR them.

Fictional scene:

Quote:


The Heavy Armor Divisions, escorted by NA's Origami troops, move through a street nearby. One of the B&G'S military offshoot bases lies in ruins. Woundwort was caught in the blast. Wounded, but not severely so, he lifts himself up from the wreckage and grabs an intact submachinegun lying nearby.

Strategia, overviewing the wreckage, spots Woundwort lifting his weapon. In response, he grabs the heavy machine gun slugn over his back and points it in Woundwort's direction.[/i]

"Well Woundwort? Looks like you're losing....."

"We're going along just fine, thank you."

"I think not. The Hut military is approaching the B&G. The remnants of your military and what's left of your patrons is preparing for a last stand there. My Artillery divisions will flatten the place in half an hour."

"You're lying. Barry'll eat all your troops."

"Barry is dead, Woundwort. The Mechanized Infantry divisions dispatched him hours ago. His corpse has already been dumped into the Pacific."

"The velociraptors will kill your tank crews."

"They're all gone too. Now, time to die."

Woundwort reacts quickly. He open up with the submachinegun and sprays Strategia's general area with bullets. Strategia ducks for cover behind a piece of building debris.

Strategia lifts up the heavy machine gun and aims it at Woundwort, who reacts with another burst of fire. When he stops to reload, Strategia opens up with the heavy weapon.

Loud explosions in rapid succession tear through the air. High-caliber bullets fly towards Woundwort. The former second-in-command of the B&G forces gets hit over twenty times. In the end, he falls down.

He is most definitely dead.



See? Enough blam.
