Default Re: *** Star Trek Mod Discussion ***

Personally Captain, I think the Blue/Green looks great and I hope you use it for all you Klingons ships. Makes the Klingons distinguishable from the other races.

As for the Quantums, well... its a given that Quantums are Blue and Photons are red, but what I mean any differentail in game characteristics? SJ and I had discussed extensively on these weapons. Obviously, they were specifically designed (at least most evidence seems to lean torward this theory) to defeat the borg. We are not sure how Borg keep Fed weapon systems adapting (is it an adapting sheild system or is it some other sort of feild that adapts to Energy weapons?) so why are Quantums so disruptive to borg ships compared to other weapons? The DS9 manual explains that the weapons use Null space or something like that to cause significant damage to a target. It basically said that the weapon system creates a small strain of Multi-dimensional substances and projects it torward the target (why this would be damaging to the target isn't really explained in the TM). Personally, SJ and I thought this was sort of rediculas and thought Quantums where basically Quantum Singularitiy Drivers. We reasoned that since a Quantum Singularity (black hole) can easily be created buy making a mass dense enough to occure, it would make much better sense to fire a "Black Hole" at a Borg ship then this Null Space stuff. Even if a Borg ship could adapt to the damaged being caused, with such gravitaional forces, it would just keep sucking Borg ship parts until it burned itself out. Anyway, we where thinking about having Quantums etheir Sheild Peircing or Quad to sheilds for mechanical effects in the game. But that brings up another question, how are Borg Weapon systems and other race specific systems differ from other races?

Also, I agree with most other Trekkies about the 120 metter length. At least the schematics support it.
