Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

I personally believe that the Vorcha needs a buff due to a lack of what i call accepetable weapons on the ship

For what you pay it should at least have a basic torp launcher or perhaps some pulse disruptors like it does on the show

as it stands its over priced for what it does

i agree it needs to be beefed up for what you pay, that phaser is ok but lacks... agresiveness (for lack of a better word).

exactly i reckon a small torp like teh Qaw's or a pulse like the vuptas would work wonders

I agree. IMO even a ****** (crappy), basic torp would justify the cost.

tbh, the klingons have enough ships that use pulse weapons so a torpedo like the one the sang has (mod the weapon range to match the phaser), and that should be sweet. give it a pulse and the klingons will be underpowered against races that use bigger vessels, like the rommies.

I would agree with that. They do have quite a few pulse weapon ships already.

Well yeah the pulse would mean its weaker vs the Larger ships but then again vorcha's do end up fighting alot of smaller ships too but i do like the idea of a torp like the sangs seeing as the Vorcha is meant to have the klingon equivilant of Burst fire tubes

The sprite of the sang's torpedo wouldent fit with the vorcha IMO.

it can use a different one, point is i want it given a torp rather than a pulse. only a pulse if it replaces the beam, but that is hardly likely.

well the Qaw duj i think its called thast has the perfect torps to fit it  

The pulse should not replace the beam for sure, but a torpedo would atleast let it have some defense against a larger vessel, Since I just cant justify the cost of it compared to its strength even with its special.  

I know **** u could use the Luspets sprite  

Actually this is simply the best cruiser available to any race. Yes it is expensive, but also consider how strong it is and what a great special weapon it has. I mean the Akiras in the test got so beaten by the Vorchas it was surreal.

It already has torps btw, its called the polaron torpedo and it is a very very very good special weapon. ;)

As it stands, I would kill to have a cruiser like that for the dominion...

*notes down* give the dominion a cruiser for a future avatar :D

its a good special weapon, but only when it hits, for me that seems to be the hard part.

yeah it really does need torps

sure its a great cruiser but at the extra cost you need some extra Punch

Haha, thats the way to go :D



Even without the torps it has all the punch it really needs :S IMO

to be hones the vorcha was armed with just a disruptor just to not have every starship with the usual 1beam 1torpedo or 1beam 1pulse setup  :rolleyes:
i still like it this way. it reminds me on that cool ds9 episode where the defiant used its tractor to "throw" a vorcha away while it was firing. a very nice scene. For me Vorcha is basically a large disruptor with some warp nacells. Of course some prominent personalities also known as avatars might have a different view.

Might this be a new or existing avatar?

Probably new, since the existing ones dont give it that bonus :D

well how about

Duras - Vorcha equipped with Pulse Disruptors
Martok - vorcha equipped with Photon Torps

and both are cannon as in the ep where gowrons vorcha is under seige in TNG they fire pulse

Which bonus would u take away from them then ;) :P As every avatar only gives 3 bonuses u have to replace one with this :o

i would say take away the crew strength bonus, (who uses this by the way?). But it would probably be fairer to take its shield hitpoint bonus instead if you give it a bonus weapon. you know, power from the shields to instead power its aditional weapon :)  

or it could remain as it is and the team could work on other more important stuff

the vorcha just doesnt fire enough the 1 weapon limits in large scale fleet battles ive seen it
