Transphasic Torpedoes

[Atrocities]

If you watched the final series episode of Star Trek Voyager, then you'll know that these torpedoes are mean mother (four letter word starting with F)

One torpedoe took out a full size borg cube. Now that was impressive.

Any one want to try and Mod this new torpedoe?

[Magnum357]

UHG!!! No offense, but I'am trying to stay away from the Voyager series as much as possible. I haven't seen an episode since Season 3 of Voyager (because where I live, UPN network isn't offered) so I don't have a clue what the heck is happening on Voyager. But from what I understand, it hasn't been all that good anyway, at least compared to DS9.

Just from the subject line i thought this thread would bring up an idea I'v been toying with...

What's to stop modders make more creative use of the damage at range feature? Aftr all thre's nothing to stop you having a weapon which is useless at short rang, but does more and mor damag the further away it got (Something to do with vlocity?) or a seeker that only damages at even rangs (ie damage 1 150 1 140 1 130) I'm sure we sould come up with some good technobabble to explain this, and it would make for some interesting combat strategies...

New weapons and techs IMO are ALWAYS a welcome addition - (DISCLAIMER) - as long as they don't throw the game balance.

Just add these weapons to the components.txt file. Make sure they can be used in the AI DesignCreation.txt files. Also for ranged damage, the minimum damage has to be 1.

It's so easy to change the game to suit you needs.

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

[Nitram Draw]

The 1's are necessary at the close range? Maybe that is why my first attempt didn't work. Thanks.

[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...
