Welcome to Space! The Autocratic Triumvirate of Nili welcomes you, and if you ever happen to stumble into the Zeres system maybe our (extremely) extensive and awesome fact file can be of some assistance? The setting comes completely from my mind. I'm creative like that.

Be warned however, there are some pictures and links to pictures where they were too large to fit.
Captain JamesT Kirk

I am now sending the Scimitar out on a mission, she will be cloaked and may fire on enemy vessels while cloaked (if you don't know Scimitar's capabilities, watch Nemesis)

Think of it this way, if you fire while cloaked you're giving away your position unless its some god-mod weapon that can't be detected in any way.
IDF
17-04-2004, 02:36
it can be detected that way, the Enterprise used it to fire on Scimitar in ST Nemesis. The weapons are visible, but the ship is moving. You actually can find the ship by firing a phaser spread and firing on shield hits, but she has primary and secondary shields. It is hard to get enough hits to take out cloak by doing that without exhausting torpedo or phaser banks

DGNT would like to mentioned Gravity Detection Arrays, its pretty hard to mask somethings gravity distortions :P
Anyway, yeah..err..a ship that can destroy anything in one shot regardless of shields (Been a while since I watched Nemisis), is kinda godmoddish. Just because it was mentioned in a movie/TV show doesnt make it any less of a godmod.
I am also slightly curious as to where you got the funds and material to build such a ship, seeing as very few people even HAVE ships ten km+, although I am one of them, Piledrivers are wonderful negotiation platforms, I dont see how you could build such a large ship, let alone a large ship WITH an uber-destructo-ray.

I don't have a 10km long ship, I am refering to another one by Saccorps. I am saying that people don't call that a godmod, so my Scimitar shouldn't be one. I have seen others with them anyway. My ship can be found, you just have to use a wide spread of phasers

The three most awesome sci-fi universes out there are Star Wars, Battletech, and Honorverse. Battletech isn't so much into space battle, and some Star Wars ships can get pretty far out there, but ships from the Honorverse are pretty cool. If any of you haven't read any Honorverse before, the books are by David Weber. The term Honorverse comes from the main character, Honor Harrington. Anyway, someone should look into basing some ships off of Honorverse stuff. G'night everyone, and please consider the Honorverse idea for new rp ship designs.

mmm well to me if a space nation with a pop of under 500 mill has a 10Km ship i normal ignore them unless the got one of somone elce and anyone weilding an Uber laser i also ignore just like TFU when he wanted to make a super phaser powered by a hyperspace tap and was a size of a phaser. funny thing was that he didnt know what a hyperspace tap was (or the fact that the power from a Hyperspace tap is the same power as the expanding universe and has the power to destroy it if you use it wrong ahhh the joys of a hyperspace tap pitty if i could only make one *sits ther dreaming*)

anyway now that i've stoped ranting let me say enter my space i will kill you and if u want a trade pact i will be more then willing to offer one :D

Hive Fleet Imodius
17-04-2004, 22:51
ooc> the hive loves cloaked weaponry because it has no effect on us but to make the ship less scary. . . What you cant see cant hurt u but fire some plasma in that direcetion and hope for the best :D
The hive can see all ships always and forever because of the fact that there are life forms onboard that leave a wake in the warp thus we can see all due to psynapse refluxes. :D
The only ships we have a problem with are drones with no life forms however the hive has developed a new method of reading matter pulses. ie: you move in space you create a wake similar to that of a boat or ship. Because of this the hive see the wake you create as u push space dush out of your way so it see's your out-line. Just thought i would post this somwhere so when it happens ppl dont accuse me of godmodding and so that u guys knew that it could be done :)

The Scimitar isn't 10 kilometers. It's only 3 kilometers at it's longest point.

Also, on the topic of Thaleron radiation, How does it work? What is it? The movie didn't give a particularly good account of it.

I suppose it doesn't matter, my ships and soldiers are well protected against a radiological attack.
The Scarecrows
26-06-2004, 03:55
'They're new, they have a ship well beyond their capability to create... I say we exclude them from the Trade Union until we know exactly how it got its hands on Thaleron R and D.' Advised Tanya, staring at the fully detailed hologram of the Fleet in question.

Sawyers stared at the one hundred scale version of the Scimitar and grimaced.

'I sense a god's intervention. Find me a reliable account from their R and D about Thaleron radiation. I want to know exactly what we are facing here.' She ordered.

Tanya blinked, and nodded.

OOC:

Oh hell yeah. The Reflex Cannon...

o.O

My Cityships are rated to survive a single shot from that thing. Thankfully.

Good thing I'm neutral and only engage when it's prudent.

BTW: Someone know the crew sizes for those starfleet ships? Captain Kirk? Just post them up. I have a hunch...
IDF
26-06-2004, 04:30
being the parent nation of Kirk I will answer some of the questions. Scimitar is not 10km, it is probably less than 1.5 at the longest point (Enterprise is 700m and Scimitar is about 2 x as long).

I decided in another thread that Thalaron is a godmodd and it would just have extra disruptors and photons to make it a good battleships.

OOC:

Good boy. And crew size?
IDF
26-06-2004, 04:47
OOC:

Good boy. And crew size?
I'm not completely sure, but I hear about 1,000 for Sovereign (Enterprise E)
800 for Galaxy (Enterprise D)
300-400 for Constitution (Enterprise original and A)
I use those as a basis and compare size, for example I give an Akira 500. I just guess based on what I know of similar sized ships

Try reversing D and E. According to a few episodes they were just over 1000 people on a Galaxy Class Ship. If you count the civilians.

I'm not counting civilians. I have a game called starship creator, the Galaxy has 800 crew and Sovereign 1,000
The Scarecrows
26-06-2004, 04:59
Okay.

Now, let's multiply that number by how many ships there are...

Fourteen Akira class... 7000.

Four Sovereign class... 4000.

One Scimitar class... 1000 at the least.

Blowing up said starships with CityShips: Priceless.

Naw. I won't, but you're still a little small to have that large a fleet and maintain a presence in your nation - You'd have little to no army.

Good luck and may Sajuuk watch over you.
