In the SIM I'm the KE remember, not talking about 40k.

Different Empire, same old irritating meme...

[Deepcrush]

No no no, you miss the whole point of it. With the Klingons its a personal matter. They have to earn honor for themselves and in turn for the Empire. "Glory for the Empire"

With 40k, its more their service to the divine God-Emperor of Mankind. "For the Emperor"

Also, technically, the torps on the Akira all face forward... but switching 3 to aft is fine by me.

No, they don't.

Right, I meant besides the 2 port and 2 starboard...

[Deepcrush]

And the aft arc's on the upper pod...

And the aft arc's on the upper pod...

Thats a no, there are no torps in the aft of the Akira, at least not on the model, nor in the series (as far as I'm aware).

There are windows in the aft of the pod (which doesn't make much sens IMO, but neither does much of Trek design ethos), but no torp launchers.

[Deepcrush]

So those are windows...

[stitch626]

In reference to this latest turn... epic fail.
I guess one of my crew goes out the airlock.

[Deepcrush]

Wow, you suck...

[stitch626]

Yeah, I hope this isn't indicative of the rest of the battle, otherwise I won't be of much help.

I would like to note a few minor changes to the Tractor Beam and Transporter rules for those that have already read them. They've been modified in the Rules thread to show that:

Tractor Beams can only be used on unshielded enemies...if you open a hole in the shields you can shoot through that hole however. Also it is more difficult to lock on an enemy not moving the same as you are.

Transporter Boarding Parties have no max number of parties, although only 10 can go at a time.

It would be somewhat useful if you could you know....shoot at the enemy ships that are chasing me as soon as possible buddy.

[Lt. Staplic]

Alright, Tac phase is up. Conn orders please.

[BigJKU316]

If I backup 37 more times and continue to fire torps I will have you both!

[Deepcrush]

[Lt. Staplic]

Conn Phase is up.

Sorry for anyone that can't read the map, PM me if you have any questions, but from now on your getting hand drawn map because I hate my paint program.
