Oops my answer to 2 should have been D too.

I'm not interested in any refits to 6 DISR at this point.

1: Answer is "mu". No answer can be determined until disruptor tech is known.

2: E

Alan, amen on the Tholians. Good stuff!

1: A (with John Trauger's reservations)
2: E

Alex, you're onto something here.

If the Tholians go to all phaser/web, then we have something completely different.

To the poll: No idea how many to put on the ship, until we know WHAT we're putting on the ship.

Disruptor Types: among the Kzinti, Klingon, Lyrans, they should have three different offshoots of the disruptor bolt. A Disruptor Cannon for the Kzinti, a Particla Disruptor for the Klingons, and a Disruptor Capacitor for the Lyrans.

There is another option for the Tholians' heavy web caster based weapon. In the thread 'X2 for the other guys' I proposed a new variant of the Web caster.

"I was looking through the earlier discussions on the Web Fist Casters, and the concept of the fist solidifying if it hits in 4 impulses.

We are talking about a dense, small amount of web energy, right? What if it solidifies after 4 impulses on the shield facing that it impacted?

It would not stop movement, because of its small size, but it *would* block non-Tholian weapons fire through that shield. Think of it as a way to deny weapons fire on your enemy's ship through a specific arc.

On the flip side, if you have an asset that needs to be protected, and its shield is about to fail, you can lob this at it, and block incoming fire for a period of time. Perfect for defending against a drone strike that you know will blow through the shield and the shield on the opposite side of the ship in the same impulse..."

-and-

"Guys, the idea wasn't to revamp the web fist into an uber-powerful weapon that could seriously hurt an SSCS with a single shot.

The idea behind my proposal was to create a new evoultionary path for the web fist. The premise was to *force* the enemy to maneuver if they wanted to continue in an offensive posture. The side effect of having web stuck to the hull and blocking the firing arc was that Tholian phasers could continue to damage the ship through the solidified web.

I envisioned the web to be too small and compact to anchor itself to spacetime outside the warp bubble of the target ship, yet large enough to block an entire 60 degree arc.

If used in a defensive battle (like around a globular or buzzsaw web), this could be absolutely devastating for an attacker, but in open space it would not be as much of a hardship unless a target is hit by several of these on multiple arcs."

NEW POLL

1) Do you prefere to play on a fixed map?
Y = Yes
N = No

2) Which is your favourite race to play ( of the ones listed below )?
F = Federation
G = Gorn
K = Klingon
O = Orion
R = Romulan
T = Tholian
Z = Kzinti

By michael john campbell (Michaelcampbell) on Tuesday, February 17, 2004 - 12:01 am: Edit

By Loren Knight (Loren) on Tuesday, February 17, 2004 - 03:28 am: Edit

1) Y ( and N. Depends on scenario usually open for patrol S8.0)

2) F(K)

(but I like em'all. My profile says I win most in Hydran and Tholian but I have special affection for Feds...mmmm and Klingons too.)

By Mike Fannin (Daelin) on Tuesday, February 17, 2004 - 07:25 am: Edit

1) Y (usually oversized, but fixed)
2) K

Well color me...whatever.

1) Do you prefere to play on a fixed map?
Y = Yes	|||	3
N = No	||||	4
2) Which is your favourite race to play ( of the ones listed below )?
F = Federation	||	2
G = Gorn	|	1
K = Klingon	|||	3
O = Orion		0
R = Romulan	|	1
T = Tholian		0
Z = Kzinti		0

I would like to say that there were a lot of votes for very large fixed maps and so I would say that the vote was more like 2-5 with floating over fixed.


That being said I would conjecture some things in the X2 Poll COmmentary thread.

By Tos Crawford (Tos) on Monday, March 15, 2004 - 10:10 pm: Edit

1) Does X1R need the conjectural DNX class?
2) Does X1R need the conjectural BCHX class?
3) Should a DNH-XP be real?
4) Should a BCH-XP be real?

1.Y
2.Y
3.Maybe
4.Y

1 and 2 are Yes but each race should be limited to one or the other.

1. Y
2. Y
3. and 4. Depends on exaactly what XP will involve.

1. NO
2. Y, but only so people might stop asking for DNX.
3. NO
4. N

I don't like DNs getting X-Tech... but I'm fortunate as I believe SVC will go my way... J.⁴²

1)YES (only conjectural)
2)YES (only conjectural)
3)NO
4)YES (very small number)

I've already stated my reasoning in other threads (notably X1R and XP).
