    the weapon seem wrong . I though the shuttle pods were upgraded to carry Plamas Cannons . The idea of Antimatter Missile MicroTorpedo make sense .

    Everything esle seem good .

    Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure what kind of weapons the shuttle pods were equipped with.

    Or perhaps the somtimes mentioned merculight rockets from TNG season 1
    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    I can't really see an escape pod armed with missiles. YMMV though...

    Shuttlepods are not escape pods, they're more like shuttlecraft. They are armed in one episode with what looked like plasma cannon and then in another with what looked like phase cannon.
    So it can go either way. After the strike on Earth, with the weapon upgrades that the NX-01 got, the shuttlepods might all have phase cannon now, maybe even some spatial rockets or mini-missiles. Depending how military your campaign will go.

    LOL!

    You know, I must not be able to read. I could have sworn that said Escape Pods. I am soo sorry for that mistake. Honestly, I only appear stupid.
