Same here. That's more like what I was thinking.

Re: Our Ship - Beam Weapons
The concept of this was that we can't just have the best of everything with no drawbacks; it doesn't work like that in reality, and there's no reason it would work here, either. I already reiterated the fact that one lance will take 70,000 out of 200,000 available Terawatts. I agree that we could power it down, and re-route, but if there's nowhere to route to, it's moot.
Read the quote first, talk second. Good boy...*pets your head*Please point out where I said there was NO drawback to having a massive power-draining uber-weapon that can only be used against slow moving targets LIKE A NEGH'VAR. Are you tired, or has your brain stopped interpreting text?
Crying from a boy and a "hir" ( ) and all I feel is nothing.What the hell are you talking about? Just adding in imaginary arguments is called a "strawman", right? I never SAID THAT THE SOV HAS ONE PHASER ARRAY. Where the f*ck did you pull that from? (I really don't want to know: it's rhetorical, asshole)
So I take it you never watched AGT? The E-D fired 7 times in twice as many seconds. That little girls and boys is once every two seconds not every minute. Now, I know I'm not very good at math but the seems to be thirty as I believe that is half of sixty.130k would be more overall phaser firepower than the Sov, yes. I'm looking at whether the new ship will be a siege weapon or a powerful fleet augment. The lance would be great for the former, and would have some use during the latter, though less. A weapon that can only fire once per minute or so, no matter how powerful, is still less useful when facing 10-30 ships at once.

Sounds good Teaos, you've got one meanass ship in the works here.
Sure we can't build more the 14 of them?

Re: Our Ship - Beam Weapons
Try to not misquote, retard. I said we CANT have the best without drawbacks. This is a very simple concept. See if you can figure it out this time.Deepcrush wrote:The concept of this was that we can't just have the best of everything with no drawbacks; it doesn't work like that in reality, and there's no reason it would work here, either.

And Teaos specified that this lance takes time to charge up.
See? We aren't discussing the AGT lance anyways, so it's irrelevant.Teaos wrote: Lance:
Phase lance: 70,000 TerraWatts
Pros:
Highly destructive weapon, can pierce shields and hull armour more effectively than any known weapon.
Cons:
Takes up massive internal volume due to the hardware needed to field the weapon (7%). Cannot fire off its center point thus the whole ships needs to be positioned for targeting. Also needs several seconds to build up beam strength thus not suited for fast moving targets. Will suck up a lot of the ships energy.

Re: Our Ship - Beam Weapons
Apologies for my aggressive attitude; I'm f*cking pissed off in RL, and have little tolerance for being talked down to by anyone at the moment.
I'm staying in for the next few days; I have the impression that I might actually break someone into pieces if they said the wrong thing to me. I need to f*cking calm down, and I think I might have just the thing around here somewhere.

Re: Our Ship - Beam Weapons
Really bud you need to chill your horses, its just Trek
Its not worth getting your pants all tight up about. Even more so since it isn't even real.
Well, maybe not that bad. I feel sorry for someone who's as bad at math as me and I rarely feel sorry for anyone.
Now if we're talking several seconds then we're running a firing rate slower then the GCS but that would be accounted for since we aren't shutting down all of our other weapons at the same time.

To late, had those, been stabbed to. Lost two fingers (left hand, reattached but the ring finger looks really funny), lost use of an ankle (Left). Slightly damaged hearing in my left ear from a concussion blast (this one also cracked 3 ribs and a vertibrate so let me say OUCH!) though that just rings a little, nothing major. Been shot at, never hit (knock on wood).You'd feel all the broken bones in your ribcage, arms, legs, and face if you called me a "boy" in person, motherf*cker. I can guarantee that.
So this counts as a minute to you? Good going. If you math skills fall anymore you'll be almost as bad as me,And Teaos specified that this lance takes time to charge up.

Re: Our Ship - Beam Weapons
Go out boxing or something. That would help with and anger problems. I beat the hell out of an oak tree in my back yard when I'm mad. Punch it till the knuckles bleed, then a little more. After that the last thing you'll be thinking about it what made you mad.Tsukiyumi wrote:Apologies for my aggressive attitude; I'm f*cking pissed off in RL, and have little tolerance for being talked down to by anyone at the moment.

I always end up thinking how stupid it was to do it in the first place and how much its going to hurt to get any bark out!
Barfights are also good.

Re: Our Ship - Beam Weapons
Yeah, that does often work, but I'm bad at choosing targets. To date, I've punched to death: A toaster oven, a microwave (afterwards, it wouldn't turn off; I got a bit worried before unplugging it ), a dishwasher, a deadbolted door, one fridge (I imagine I jarred the compressor loose, or something), numerous smaller doors, and of course, I've destroyed stuff through other methods as well.Deepcrush wrote:Go out boxing or something.

Basically, Hulk no smash, 'cause Hulk got no cash. I don't like having to replace stuff. Though, were I a bit more well-off, I'd go shooting more often. I get onto the range for free, but I still have to buy bullets... And they've become quite expensive lately.
I'll have a cream soda, thank you.
