Achilles-class from "Dominion Wars"

[Phoenix101]

I couldn't find stats for the cool looking USS Imperius from the DS9 game "Dominion Wars" (commanded by the rescued Captain THOMAS Riker), so I had a go. It is my first effort at using the construction rules, so once I had put all the cool things in - regenerative shielding, ablative armour, lots of power, speed etc, I found that there was not a lot of space for weapons. I decided to make this its Achilles heel - pun intended - that it is normally used to soak up damage and kill things in conjunction with other ships.

See what you think - any changes to make it better would be welcome...

[Phoenix]

Ah Good, some thing for MY Achillies class to shoot at <add evil laugh here>.

So there is to be two of us now, pleased to meet you Phoenix 101. It's kind of like talking to your self here...eeriy...

[Highway Hoss]

OK Phoenix 101, its critique time!
My recommendations:[list=8][*]Reduce your armor to 1000. This should be sufficient for protection and free up points for other uses.[*]A little crew heavy. A frigate of that size could probably get by with 450 crew (plus extra personnel). Also reduce the number of luxury quarters. A tactical vessel like this could get by with probably 4 to 6 at most.[*]Reduce EMH to Mark II (III and IV were not developed until later).[*]Since your ship is a tactical vessel, I suggest reducing the Recreation rating to a 5 to reflect this.[*]I suggest using 6D97 nacelles for your warp drive. Since the Achilles class is designed similar to the Intrepid class, the ship's performance will be similar. Also reduce your PIS to Type H to reflect limits on large starships.[*] Get an upgrade for your computers (Class Beta)[*]Don't forget a backup TA/T/TS!![*] Regenerative Shields have a recharge time of 20 seconds, so you don't need a separate recharging system. Use the points to boost your threshold to the maximum of 400.[/list=8] Hope this helps!

[Highway Hoss]

Sorry 'bout that. Looks like I goofed up trying to do the list manually. Can someboby delete this, please?!

[Highway Hoss]

Okay Phoenix101, here's my suggestions:
e time!
My recommendations:
1) Reduce your armor to 1000. This should be sufficient for protection and free up points for other uses.
2) A little crew heavy. A frigate of that size could probably get by with 450 crew (plus extra personnel). Also reduce the number of luxury quarters. A tactical vessel like this could get by with probably 4 to 6 at most.
3) Reduce EMH to Mark II (III and IV were not developed until later).
4) Since your ship is a tactical vessel, I suggest reducing the Recreation rating to a 5 to reflect this.
5) I suggest using 6D97 nacelles for your warp drive. Since the Achilles class is designed similar to the Intrepid class, the ship's performance will be similar. Also reduce your PIS to Type H to reflect limits on large starships.
6) Get an upgrade for your computers (Class Beta)
7) Don't forget a backup TA/T/TS!!
8) Regenerative Shields have a recharge time of 20 seconds, so you don't need a separate recharging system. Use the points to boost your threshold to the maximum of 400.

Hope this helps!

[Phoenix101]

Thanks a lot for that - it should prove useful - I thought I'd worked out the right amount of crew - ah, well....

Long time since I have played DW as it decides to randomly crash whenever I try a multiplayer game. In the intro movie, it seems to have micro quantum torpedo launchers along the dorsal spine. I think they were arranged in 2 columns of 4. I just thought the torpedoes look far too small to be quantum torps. As I say, not played for ages, I could be wrong.
Actually, on a similar topic, why do the quantum torps the Ent-E fires in First Contact seem so big compared to the ones the Defiant uses?

[Captain Leana Craig]

If your intrested Phoenix101, In the original Dominion War thread The original Phoenix and my good self, hashed out some stats and rules for phalanx type micro Q-torp launchers from the game.

[chroniton33]

i.ve had the game for two months now and i've never ever got the phalanax system to fire the first shot. In the game it is still a first class ship because the pulse phasers and quantum torpedoes can fire at forward targets while phaser strips are firing at enemies at your side.
