Tachion Detection Grid

posted on May 9th, 2004, 10:09 am

I have another request, i would like tachion detection grid on all the scouts, and this is why: Romulan comes in your base cloaked and it is almost impossible to find him, and I talk from experiance belive me. If maybe not that at least make the sensors have a bigger view.
I think this is necesarry because the romulans also have sabotage and that can become annoying, because he can destroy alot with that.

as soon as you have researched tachion detection grid all your starbases can perform a tachion scan.
maybe the special energy costs for tachion scan will be reduced

But u must guess where he is, and thats hard, since the talon has a big sensor range. How about if u increase the sensor range of sensors?

i agree that would be a good idea, or the station could have the techyon scan, which if you turn on, it would scan around every one of your ships/stations(small range), which would eliminate any incursion in your base.

I think hypercubes idea makes alot of sense, why would a starbase scan one area when he can scan in a circular pattern around the station.

i agree when the tachion detection i researched then it sends a scan ever 20 to 30 seconds around all the bases sensor relays and starbases

or you could make a new way to detect cloacked ships

good idea anyway

admiral max out

The Feds and Borg are out on a limb in terms of Cloak Defense. The sensor station has a SMALL radius and has to be grouped together for any real effect. Maybe The sensor stations can have a wider range of sight? Or Upgradeable to some degree? Maybe a Sensor sweet type of special weapon from a ship or 2? Or link up some ships to form a tachyon Grid?? Like that Episode where the Roms were Supplying The Duras Family? Get a Few scouts with Tachyon Upgrade and then Link them up somehow? Make sense I hope.

I wanted to give some Fed ships the ability to shoot Phasers at cloaked targets like the Rhiens.

Yeah I dont know how but make a new way to find a cloaked ship, cause that inteligence center can really be nasty especially if you are borg, cause their ships are so expensive

Yeah sabo centers and cubes don't mix well

I think I alrady did that to use like 10 special energy... lol

They should have the tachyon scan on the scouts but to make it realistic when you turn it on you have like a minute or two to scan the place you want before you have to recharge it

Well the rommies already got it, and their the ones who use cloak the most so i'm kinda confused on why they have it.

Theyre the ones who use cloaking tech the most, therefore theyre the ones who know how it all works....

yep, that's right
