Questions about the Scimitar

[Omega1967]

The other day we were looking at some pictures of the Scimitar and talking stats for her. With 52 Disruptors and 27 torpedo launchers the SUs would leave nearly nothing for the rest of the ship let alone the Thalaron weapon system.

Though we were able to place most of the forward weapons (Disruptors and Torpedo Launchers) in the bow, whings and six additional exstended weapons pods.

The Scimitar is a big ship with too many guns for my taste.

REMAN SCIMITAR CLASS STARSHIPS Part 1

I worked out some of the details of the Scimitar. Over gunned underpowered. It is a ruff draft but illustrates that some ships are just too big. A little too big for may taste.

I left the Tharilon weapon off, as it is an unprecedented weapon system. I also grouped the weapons into groups to keep track of their locations about the hull area.

For size she could have easily been in the size 12 but closer to 11 in my opinion. I scrimped on some of the weapons to keep the Su's down as it is. Originally I had figures out on paper with type 13 disruptors and 10 shot torpedo launchers. I cut her back to only 4 type 13 and the rst as type 11 and a hand full of 6 shot torpedo launchers.

Omega1967,
Here's part of the weapon problem fix I thought of. There are 22 emitter points for the 'Thalaron weapon system' (count based on CGI model), take in to account the computer and Worf really didn't know what they were looking at, and that could account for part of the obscene number. Now if you subtract the 22 emitters from the conventional weapons systems you end up with 30 disruptors, and 5 torpedo launchers (starting to become more reasonable).

Mentioned in the TNG: Tech Manual there are type 3 (or 4) phasers mounted at entry points on the Enterprise-D (that have not been mentioned in game stats or as canon, but hey why not), this could also account for several of the disruptors.

Just some thoughts, that might help

Where in the TNG: Tech Manual did it say this?

[Phoenix]

Sorry I quoted the wrong book, I remember reading it some place...FASA's TNG Officers Manual maybe, or some other non-canon source...Still I think it's a good idea(and now I go on the defensive to save some ammount of face)

[Omega1967]

This was just to keep buisy and out of trouble, for two hours when my boss scheduled too early for a shift when the production was not in until later.

If someone wants to clean her be my guest. It was to show that there are an insane amount of weapons for a ship to carry. Let alone a heavy death weapons to obliterate an entire planets population.

On screen I liked the Scimitar, as she was a death machine. A great end of the movie series villains ship for the TNG movies.

[Omega1967]

THE RESURRECTION OF THE SCIMITAR.
I finally found time to work on the design of the Scimitar and test out her systems. I took the advice for the Thalaron weapons to integrate it into the ship.

Thalaron Weapon Systems Notes: The Thalaron weapon systems in one of the weapons that most all the intelligent and reasonable species have agreed that the Thalaron weapon systems are far more dangerous than can be safely handled. A few renegade individuals have gotten a hold of the technology and build weapon ships such as the Scimitar with the intent to use them. Although with limited range it is generally a planet killer.

DAMAGE: a vessel or planet caught in the wave are generally unlucky and die horrible deaths even at maximum distance. A vessel attempting to defend must roll a nearly impossible challenge roll to defend against the energy wave set by the Game Master.

POWER: The Thalaron weapon requires 200 points of power to charge the weapon for its three to five minutes it takes to charge the weapon to 12,000 points. Firing the weapon the ship does 20,000 square kilometers per point of energy expended. To destroy a planet the size of earth it would take ruff 25,021 points of power firing two shots to. (I used FASA's planetary size arrangement to figure the Earth's size and destruction).

LOCATION: The Thalaron Weapon System is an integrated part of the vessel. A series of auxiliary generators feed power to the Thalaron matrix core building up power to fire on the planet. A number of emitters arranged in patterns around the vessel

NOTES: The Thalaron damage could be lowered or raised to make weapon less or more dangerous but I found that two shots in a combat simulation with shields and defensive systems that it was sufficient but anything can happen.

PERSONAL NOTE: During the combat simulation the Scimitar was defeated twice out of five while charging weapon during battle. Both simulations had been a lucky strike form more than one ship attacking the vessel. One was the ramming by a Galaxy-class in part causing it destruction.

The Valiant Crew of the Galaxy-class had swung in front of the weapon when fired deflecting and absorbing large amounts of the Thalaron radiation before slamming into the Scimitar at full impulse speed. A pair of defiant-, nebula- moved in to finish off the Scimitar. The player had seen the maneuver on an episode of Babylon 5.

In all simulations the Thalaron weapon had been fired at least once decimating an earth sized planet.

Your monster sounds positively frightening, I like it.

I'm curious about what happened in the other simulations you ran however, what were the total forces involved?

Oh, and did you run the Nemesis battle?

[Capt.Hudson]

Surlely that ship is too big to run in a game , i mean keeping track of the numerous weapons it possesses alone would be a nightmare, and yes i agree the total disruptor and torpedo banks was overkill way to many, i mean i know it had to be a daunting plot point in the film, 'holy crap how is the Enterprise going to defeat that' but the damn thing must have had more weapons than Deep Space Nine....twice....on a good day (to qoute O'Brian "Bloody Cardassians, I just got the damn thing fixed").

Playing combat scenarios with that thing must've taken all night.

"Great, you scratched the paint"

[Owen E Oulton]

There was only one, and it was destroyed on its maiden mission, so why bother statting the thing out?

I mean, really... a failed "superweapon" designed solely for killing the entire population of a planet, built by a madman/regicide/failed experiment and a despised client race. I doubt that the Romulans would build another one, and the Remans sure aren't going to get the chance to try again.

[Omega1967]

We've been using the Scemitar in an alternate timeline adventure where the Enterprise-E crew failed to stop the vessel and left it up to the crew of The Nebula-Class USS Discovery.

So far nothing has gone well for them.

[Owen E Oulton]

OK, yeah, I guess that would work.

[Phoenix]

It could also by useful in a SFA campaign, for a cadet's Kobayashi Maru type test. Also if your playing a non-canon trek, i.e. every thing does not revolve around ships named Enterprise (unlikely however). There is also the concept of running a Romulan campaign, was the Scimitar used to battle senate loyalists ships bent on revenge (the orbit of Romulus looked rather empty compared to the fleet assembled in "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" ).

As a side note, where was the Scimitar built, doubtful it was a Romulan shipyard. Who financed it's construction, I don't think a group of rebel shock-trooper could foot the bill. So if you take the problems with the Remans having such a ship by themselves, there's a possibility that other Scimitar type ships might exist, some place now or in the future.
