Type XV Phaser for Nova?

posted on November 14th, 2009, 8:01 am

I'm aware that the Nova is not yet implemented, but I have heard whispers that it's likely to be an avatar vessel.

  Since I am such a huge fan of the Type XV phaser, may i request that it be given consideration as standard armament for said vessel? 

  Loooove it!

sounds right that it should, but it also had photon torpedos... having both would make it superior to the intrepid weapons wise and thats not accurate at all.

I doubt that would really be a problem, the Type XV (15?) Phaser tends to be a Veteran feature. I think the Equinox's crew showed us what a Nova with a veteran crew can do in battle...

I agree.  We know that the Nova is smaller, and inferior to the Intrepid.  While I like the little guy, its just not going to match up head to head.  AND if you remember, the Intrepid in question was also out of the way to where it could have all the updates to systems by Starfleet that it SHOULD have gotten.

Yes, kill innocent creatures for fuel

Well, if not the XV phaser? How about a weapon that I was planning for a ship of my own.

Weapon: Polarized Quantum Torpedo
Passive Effect: Has a 10% chance of disabling enemy shields.
Shot Rate: Relatively Slow (Compared to the shot rate of the Galaxy's torpedo)

The Galaxy's, at least in the mod, actually shoots fast as hell unless you change it to three shot mode.

  Lol can you imagine that as standard on a tiny vessel?  I see Dominion dreadnoughts losing their shields to a Nova class science vessel and being pummeled by others.

  I confess I'm just a sucker for awesome weapon sounds.  The Luspet Cluster Torpedo and the XV Phaser get me all giddied up and excited.

Agreed entirely

Me too.

The Type XV phaser has awesome reload times too, I wish other ships had it too

I think the Neghs got a cool sounding weapon too... right? Or maybe it is just the LuSpet (sounds like a heavy duty cannon or something).

Hehe, best to leave such special weapons on a few ships - otherwise they lose their "specialness"

Would actually be really cool if it used something like 100 special energy per shot and activated like multi-purpose weapons.
