Transphasic Torpedoes

[Kadste]

Nitram,

Yes the 1's are required. If you have a zero damage at any range, the weapon will not work at any range.

I wonder if the "Optimal Range" strategy is smart enough to deal with these kinds of weapons...

Yes, it is, actually. I've modded the organic "Plasma Bolt" to do more damage in the mid-range and less at each end. The main race that uses it, the Urak Tal, are quite formidable in combat with it. Their ships stay out away from enemy ships trying to keep them in that max damage range. Since most other ranged weapon do less damage at range and more close up, this makes them uniquely effective in combat.

This is the key. Something as powerful as that "Transphasic Torpedo" is supposed to be ought to be an 'artifact' weapon rather than something easily researchable. And maybe with a 30 turn fire rate, too.

Sounds more like lame to me. The Borg idea has really been ruined.

I never understood that whole thing. People are pretty down on treknobabble being used to solve problems, but having an enemy that has magical "adaptation" powers is loved? The Borg are incredibly weak and cheesy plot devices that don't even have the benefit of someone even TRYING to explain how they work. If they can magically resist us, we can magically kill 'em off right back, I say.
