rakesh: see, that's the thing about technologically-advanced societies - they spend so much time doing everything they can to counter even the latest and greatest of detection techs...most completely forget about the basic mark 1 eyeball or sniffers and don't think to do anything to block THOSE methods of detection give me…
rakesh: if this was a 'home-made' explosive, the compound being so unique means i should be able to track the bomber easily, because traces of the compound will be all over them
(which species had the purple blood? green blood could be vulcans or romulans, and i know blue is bolian, but i've never heard of any trek species having purple oh, turns out there is ONE species that has purple blood...pakleds) rakesh: this isn't the first time i've heard of kids being used as bombs, unfortunately...it…
rakesh: oh, i never told you? you've impressed some on the high council so much with your exploits over the past several years despite being starfleet, they decided to make you an honorary dahar master...or mistress, in your case - to the vehement protests of others on the council and among a few great houses too - and a…
nice on sneaking in a fix for doff binding (i didn't see it in the tribble notes, so i assume it was a last-minute addition) and i'm definitely going to appreciate the autofire for hangar pets
there's also the issue of ships having consoles that really don't work on the ship they come with (and are restricted to) but would work REALLY well on another ship...thankfully, cryptic seems to have realized this and is now in the process of removing ship restrictions from consoles...or at least they started doing it for…
(it doesn't matter how good you are, you can't design a bomb that won't be set off by being inside the blast radius of another and still expect it to be cheap and portable - that's why most people set up explosives OUTSIDE each other's blast radius)
frankly, that entire fight at the start of TLJ was silly from a military standpoint, and this gives good reasons as to why, as well as gives suggestions as to how they COULD have gone about it instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn0k-uxfLwE
rakesh: they're not going to have another bomb within the blast radius one that's already gone off, because the first going off runs the risk of setting off the second prematurely or damaging it to the point of non-functionality - at least let us examine the blast site after it's been secured; i might be able to pick up…
rakesh: i don't think your superiors would be very pleased to hear you pointed a weapon at a klingon ambassador to the federation, and thus under the protection of diplomatic immunity - with me is fleet admiral and dahar mistress krystal jade-haupsburg and reina (does she have a last name?), who has medical training - they…
as i recall, there was no line that specifically came out and said the ship was built with outside help - the only line i can recall that even remotely comes close is shinzon's line of 'from building the scimitar at a secret base' but it's just common sense to figure they either had help from sympathetic elements of the…
(can security belonging to a faction that is a member of another faction stop someone who has diplomatic immunity with the latter faction from going into a crisis zone? i'm not sure if immunity extends that far)
rakesh: because someone may need help, and this one *he jerks his head toward reina* has some medical training and dahar mistress jade can help suppress any fires (also, i think personnel only applies to the actual crew of DS9 - which they aren't...but even if it does refer to them, consider who rakesh was cloned from, and…
they're called orbital autocannons, and they were designed for orbital bombardment, not fleet engagements - i'm not even sure they CAN target ships given the cannon's position relative to the rest of the ship...the fulminatrix would've had to be 'above' any ship it wanted to fire on to have a clear, unobstructed LOS and as…
the stats given were perfectly reasonable, given the kinds of TRIBBLE the federation kept dragging into the alpha/beta quadrants in recent years the romulans obviously wanted something that could stand toe-to-toe with a dominion dreadnought or a borg cube (i still refuse to believe, and always WILL refuse to believe, that…
yeah...those work perfectly and i'm less concerned with the naming scheme as i am with how the ability actually functions - that's why i have structural analysis, which doesn't evoke a sense of a being a contagion or virus-like power just by reading its name or the little technobabble description everything in STO has -…
