[ICON] What skill for what weapon
There have been mention of several different types of weaponry in the Star Trek universe, both canon and non-canon that I've been having trouble with placing to the appropriate skill category.
Now the following are with out a doubt in the listed Skill categories
Energy Weapon - Hand Held Lasers
- Civilian Stunner (A type one w/ only the Stun settings, non-canon)
- Type 1
- Type 2a (early TNG Dust Buster design)
- Type 2b (later TNG, All of DS9 & VOY)
- Type 3a (TNG, DS9)
- Type 3b (funky VOY design)
- Type 3c (compression rifles, booyeah)
- Type 3c-A (darker, altered muzzle; in my game it's the Ground Forces standard)
- Type 3 EVA (ST: First Contact; used for micro-gravity operations w/ an EVA suit)
- Type 3 ACB or Federation Sniper Rifle (non-canon source's)
- Cardassian Pistol & Rifle
- Bajorian Pistol & Rifle
- Klingon Pistol & Rifle (i.e. Pistol with a large stock added)
- Romulan Pistol
- Early Romulan Rifle A (the boxy looking things from TNG: Reunification, IIRC)
- Later Romulan Rifle B (also used by the Remans in Nemesis)
- Pirate Designs (non-canon, Renegades, Raiders & Rogues)
- Sleeve or Hold-Out Designs (Non-canon, Renegades, Raiders & Rogues)
- Dominion Polaron Pistol & Rifle(Assault Rifle)
- Schorcher (mentioned in Renegades, Raiders & Rogues, description fits with what was scene in VOY: Unity - Ep: with the break away Borg colony)
Heavy Weapons- Photon Mortar (TOS: Arena, LUG)
- Mounted Phaser (TOS: The Cage, Steve Long's DW:FoA. Could this also be a Type-4 Phaser?)
Projectile Weapons- TR-116 (The Federations archaic slug thrower, lets leave out the part about the micro-transporter, for now)
- Federation Grenade Launcher (Fan made object that made sense)
- Various other boom sticks used by primitives throughout the galaxy
But the following have been a thorn in the side of the game for a long time now. This is where I no longer follow the separation between the different Skill categories.
- Longbow/Crossbow (real world that has been scene in TNG & VOY)
*Primitive Weapon or Projectile Weapon?
- Nausicaan War Staff (non-canon, also falls under Primitive Weapons for Melee uses)
*Heavy weapon or Energy weapon?
- Tetreon Pulse Launcher (mentioned, but have we scene one from a canon source? Going by the PC game Elite Forces 1 & 2 it is a two handed object that works like a man-portable vulcan chain gun, used by both the Federation (green bolts) and Klingon Empire (red frazzled bolts) that I like to use)
*Heavy weapon or Energy weapon?
- Isomagnetic Disintegrator (the Bazooka looking thing Worf used in ST: Insurrection?)
*Heavy weapon or Energy weapon
- Enriched Ultritium Artillery (Steve Long's DW:FoA)
*Heavy weapon or Shipboard systems: Tactical?
- Transporter Artillery (Steve Long's DW:FoA)
*Heavy weapon or Shipboard systems: Transporter?
- Heavy Missile Launchers (Steve Long's DW:FoA)
*Heavy weapon or Shipboard systems: Tactical?
Any help, thoughts, better ideas (weapons I forgot to mention)
