Now this sounds very cool, I can't wait to play your mod. Kinda reminds me of Spelljammer. Anyone else remember that old SSI game? I never tried the P&P game but the PC game was pretty fun.

Disrupters and Particle Beam weapons I would think would fall under harmonic's/sound type weapons. This race would have these as their additional Tech, just like temporal, organic etc. They would still have all the other weapons just like the current trees. The range might not be as great as the regular weapons but disrupters would do some damage especially with heavy/massive mounts. What about the other traits listed? Anyone have any other new names or races??

The sound wave or sound beam weapon could fire a high velocity sound beam faster then the speed of sound, when it strikes anything tangible, it ruptures the atoms, electrons, ect, in the material, causing a small mini reaction similiar to a nucular reactor but on a very very small scale, which in turn would cause an explosion. The closer the target the more damage, the farther away the less damage done. The heavier the mount the stronger the sound beam or wave.

just some ideas Mac

if a tree falls in the woods and there is no one to hear it fall, does it make sound or noise"??

My idea for a new racial tech can be found in a thread Last seen on the 5th of April, titled "D-tech (a modest suggestion=-)"

If anyone wants to resurrect my old thread that's fine by me=-)
