Thats a good point.

It could also be cultural. They just like having a secure territory and are non expantionist.

What episode mentioned that the tholians aren't considered a threat?

Post by **Teaos** » Sun Sep 30, 2007 2:15 pm

No episode to my knowledge. its just we have never had any big problem with them. Just a bunch of small ones. They seem kind of aggressive so if they could fight us why wouldnt they unless they know they cant win.

well i think, its probably a cultural thing, they may be quite isolationist, or even be too tied up with the breen and other races

Very nice ship there, DarkOmen.

Also, its posible to be territorial, yet isolationist.

Love the ship, Omen, but making it fairly resistant to impacts when we're on a torpedo boat is dirty pool... JK - if it were to be easy, it wouldn't be fun. The only nit I have with it is that, like others here, I think it's a bit too fast.

Meh, I don't think the speed is bad. Considering we know nothing about them, there's no contradicting evidence.

Interesting stuff! The design makes sense.

Who cares if their ship is better off against a PT. We arn't using one launcher, we're using 15! 3 of which fire QTs.

Besides, we want a challenge, don't we? As the Chinese say, "May you live in interesting times." Although I believe they mean it as a curse...

Hmm, has anyone got any idea what sort of strength index this thing would have? It'd be useful for the Daystrom story.

Post by **Mikey** » Tue Oct 02, 2007 7:37 pm

Tough call, I think, because we don't have a weapon rating for isokinetic cannons, nor a defense rating for the unconventional armor; plus the web is hard to quantify.

I'll try and get something reasonable up
