Ship Arc Restriction

posted on July 15th, 2004, 9:51 pm

So my idea is so that every ship should have weapons concentrated in the front( this is especially true for the klingons, romulans and the dominion, for the torpedos this is also true for the federation).

I know this is already true for some ships(bop, kvort), but I mean it should be done more thereal than that, like all of the pulses should only fire forward, and also the torpedos but on some ships the torpedos could also fire backwards but it would have slower rate of fire or something. And no ship could fire its torpedos or pulses from aside.

This would increase the strategy in the game, cause it would matter from wich side u attack a ship, again I think this is the most true for the klingons and the romulans, then the dominion and federation whose main weapons are usually phasers or polaron beams.

This is of course not true for the borg, who can fire all around with all the weapons.

So what do u think

I know for a fact this is possible and would be realistic. Sovern could only fire Quantums forward but photons rear and forward but no torpedos sideways. Borg get the advantage with this. I like it *SEAL OF APPROVAL*

Sorta and to make game more canon, and I love my canoness. Now give me a sovern with both types of torpedos or die.

Well, it makes ambushing more fun for 1 thing. And of course there is the cannon thing, I like the romulans having their weapons concentrated in the front, so I can kill them from the back

Oh and yeah that does make the borg stronger

Most of our ships use beam Disruptors anyway so we still get to use our arcs, although few ships have torpedos.

i dont think that this whole thing would make the game "more trek-realistic" or "trek-like" how ever u wanna call it.. cause the ships are turning around in half a second, so there wont be any improvement or change of playin.... just think b4 u type...
