Re: Laser stats or The ENT Stats
You can use any terms you like, but if they don't apply to this paradigm then they don't apply. We could have very easily used your current argument to disallow having this "Chakat" character in the other RPG. The only difference is that at that time, you wanted something which was contrary to your currnet argument, so you didn't hold it; now, you want something which is in line with the argument, so you DO hold it. Either you believe a thing, or you don't - believing in an opinion merely as long as it suits your ends tells me that you don't really believe it at all.

AFAIK no one had a problem with Blackstar's new race.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

And I came up with an in-universe reason for the appearence of a Chakat in the Star Trek universe. There is no in-universe reason why an NX-class ship, which is what we were planning to have as a setting, would have weapons that are weaker then the first ship of the class. If anything it should be stronger.

Re: Laser stats or The ENT Stats
Well, some folks HAVE in fact proposed in-universe reasons. What's at issue is that some people are trying to rectify a mistake, while some are of the mind that the mistake was made onscreen and should therefore be followed. How about this: can we upgrade to later-NX equivalents during the narrative, much like the NX-01 did in the show? Perhaps even our own alterations or ideas could be used? Maybe we upgrade to "phase cannon," but supply or manufacturing issues preclude replacing spatial torps with "photonic" torps?
As far as sidearms, why not just go with what was onscreen; the theory has been put forth that the "lasers" from TOS: "The Cage" were in fact something else, but referred to by a colloquialism. I'm willing to go with that for game purposes. And the MACO's, and others perhaps, would still use their plasma-based weaponry.

Re: Laser stats or The ENT Stats
I agree with Blackstar. But i will not override the decision.
There are 17 minutes and counting until the vote ends.

It ended a while ago. And the conclusive victory goes to the laser systems.
But the shipboard weapons and the hull defense systems are ALL thats changing.

Speaking for myself, thats all I ever wanted. Now I just need a character...did we agree on Buran as the name?Reliant121 wrote:It ended a while ago. And the conclusive victory goes to the laser systems.

Re: Laser stats or The ENT Stats
I was thinking Buran would be more appropriate for an NX. if its still an NX then Buran it is.
If not, and its a Intrepid or Neptune, it needs to be changed.
Intrepid names (in my view) - Fearless, Dauntless, Intrepid obviously, Assaulter, Starskimmer, Defiant
Neptune - Jupiter, Neptune (duh), pluto, mars, venus, mercury, mars etc.
or Jupiters/Saturns moons - Europa, Io, Ganymede, Callisto, Tethys, Mimas, Enceladus, Dione, Helene, Phoebe, Rhea, Hyperion

Re: Laser stats or The ENT Stats
If you knew that, then what was the purpose of the poll in the first place. Neither of the other RPG ships even used their weapons. Well, Daystrom may have fired once or twice, but the fact is that the Ship's weapons don't have that much effect on the RPG.Reliant121 wrote:exactly Blackstar.

there was an underlying argument. So this resolved it.

Re: Laser stats or The ENT Stats
Exactly. I professed my opinion, but also said that I would abide by whatever, and that the RP is what's important - NOT what we call things. So, now I guess we're still deciding what kind of ship we're on?
