Yeah, the prommie is a nice LOOKING ship...as long as it stays in one piece. I also like the look of the Cheyenne.Reliant121 wrote:I like the Prometheus in design and purpose, just not the added feature of...-whispers- MVAM thats added.

Re: Nacelle Numbers
Same here. When it comes to the Prommie, as far as i know wedges are very structurally sound shapes which would probably help structural integraty. And helps in ramming actions 8)

The thing does look like it could be a high tech missile, doesn't it?Reliant121 wrote:Same here. When it comes to the Prommie, as far as i know wedges are very structurally sound shapes which would probably help structural integraty. And helps in ramming actions 8)

Re: Nacelle Numbers
Building a ship with ramming in mind isnt that smart since you only really do it once, and then you are sacrificing a ship.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Aye, ramships just aren't worth it.

Re: Nacelle Numbers
On the other hand, filling those old Miranda class ships with explosives and running them into starbases and planets would have been a decent idea. It's not like they lasted that long in open combat.

Re: Nacelle Numbers
I did not mean to suggest it was designed to ram things, I apologize if I made that Impression. however, the structure lends itself quite well in the last stand situation, no?Teaos wrote:Building a ship with ramming in mind isnt that smart since you only really do it once, and then you are sacrificing a ship.

Re: Nacelle Numbers
Hey, if I were designing a warship, I'd stick a big mean prow on it just in case it has to ram something. The extra mass and resources couldn't be that prohibitive.
There is only one way of avoiding the war – that is the overthrow of this society. However, as we are too weak for this task, the war is inevitable. -L. Trotsky, 1939

Re: Nacelle Numbers
I didnt name myself, blame my parents they named me after both their male parents with middle names. And Picked Kierann because its virtually unshortenable without sounding completely stupid.
