Drone T-47

this wepond fiers a small clowd of drones a bit smaller than a mind.

the drones will atach tham selves to ships shelds.

the drones will only cose damge to a ships shelds if the ship moves. if the ship duss not move the drones will not cose damge to the ship.

after being fered the drones have a short life 3 sec unless thay can find a pawer sore a ships shelds.

if the drons are atached to a ships shelds thay will bern off after about 30secs.

the drons all so have a nuther nasty trick if thare are frindly ships in weponds rage thay will taret the drones on your sheads cosing damge to your ship.

if the drons are being shot off sheld thay will last for 5 sec.

the drons can allso be remobed by a repare ship or repare bace.

I didn't quite get all of that but I think you are sugestting something that can't be done. Or at least not without lots of investigation.

i think it's an alright idea, but i don't think it would add very much depth to the game play in fo, but i could be wrong.

well it is true, read your manual. i quote:

Brinok class

Brinok class ships are long range patrol cruisers that are frequently found patrolling the boarders of the cardassian union. They are equipped with cloaking devices and a devastating aray of plasma banks and phasers - making them lethal opponents in combat

Special weapons: Drones

Brinok class ships can be adapted to launch a number of remote piloted drones at a target that are difficult to evade. (i think they also did damage)

it was a uselless weapon especially in groups as you had to click it all individually. but i guess you never played the cardies or never used the special weapon

the onely thing thay have in comin is the word drons. stop comparing my ideas to A2 wepons its not a fare comparison.

well only thing i am saing is that if you do your tech visually you get the same effect only the discription of the technology is different. because those drones of A2 attcked the shields aswell. only thing is that you placed some extra's on that ingame you need to kow the tech to see what is happening with the drones otherwise it would only be oh ah ... whatever kind of reaction.

i am rather fond of the more simple but effective technologies

what do you meen by same efect? thay both cose damge.... alll most all weponds do that.

STOP COMPARING my idea to old a2 weponds its not far two my ideas.

Well comparing an idea to an existing weapon is the first step, gives people an idea how it could be possible (if it is).

I can't think of any way of making it possible only when the ship is moving though.

The other similar weapon would be micro-organisms, but that only attacks hull, not shields.

They look much like the same idea, and ewm calm down.

From what I'm getting you want to fire a drone(s) to the enemy. The drone has 3 secounds to fid a power source. If it does it goes bye-bye. So it lands on the shield and starts doing damage. A hit/miss thing like with almost all weapons happens but this time if it misses it live for 3 secounds and dies. If it hits it goes on for 30 secounds then dies. In the 30 secounds all friendly ships think that the infected ship is an enemy. Like that Romy special from A1/2. So the friendly start firing. The drones can be removed by going to a shipyard and the is then removed like the Klingon Gavity Mines in A1/2. So the effects are removed and the friendlies stop firing. Very possible.
