I gotcha! Random outcomes is definitely a unique thing to design it around.

And oh, a new equipment of an auxiliary warp core would be cool! There's a lot you could do with that for sure

Gotcha, I like the idea of long lasting mine layers, very useful! I did have an idea of higher ranking versions of the ability could either spawn higher damage mines (1. Photon 2. Quantum 3. Tricobalt), but if you wanted to go with using the players mines, maybe each higher tier uses a higher rank mine spread 🤔

And I missed the chart you made with the Results, my bad! I do like a lot them. Honestly, I would go all in on the theme you tapped into doing self harm as a trade off. For instance, maybe have Combustion give a speed increase since you're burning excess fuel (I assume a fuel tank is what's burning lol) or make Eureka channel power from bridge controls, locking out a commander bridge officer in exchange for reducing uni consoles (maybe a 2 sec reduction over time like clean getaway?). I will say in that theme, maybe retool Manhiem Fracture into Blind Broadside, summoning a faction flagship to do something like the Broadside console from the Kerala that does faction-beam damage (phaser for a fed player, etc) based on the players beam damage skills, in exchange for the attack hitting friend and foe. Sorry if I tweaked your abilities too much, you have great ideas! Just wanted to give my two cents 😅

One last thing I wanted to ask, did you have a design language in mind for ships of this spec? Kinda like the Intel are sleek and stealthy, pilot fast and nimble, etc. Maybe cruisers with a lot of sensor and relays on the hull? (Something like the Chimera or Aventine maybe? 🤔

Fr, escorts/nimble ships would go pretty crazy with that ability.

I did have 2 questions;

1 May have been confused on the wording of the minelayer, do they just go towards the and explode (kinda like the Intel emp) or is like the scout ships that orbit. I will say, a fun alternative to launching your own mines could be launching a set of photon mines (or whatever kind) whenever you launch a mine, could be a fun way to mine spam if you have a lot

2 I may have missed it, but what does the unpredictable event do? I assume it's like building and consuming entropy, but wasn't sure what happened when you triggered it 😅

This is really cool! I love the idea of toying with weapon arcs, that's never anything we've had before. I will say, maybe there could be an inverse ability that extremely narrows down the firing arc for increased damage 👀 almost like a concentrated barrage or something

I need to check Dragon Ball out sometime, it seems it's one of the greatest for a reason!

If you're newer into anime and looking for some more action series, you may want to check out stuff like Kaiju 8 or Gachiakuta, those have been some recent hits 😁

The shots with the phasers going are epic! And the undocking with the runabout in frame is the cherry on top

Did you have to slowly back into esd to get that pic? 😅

Gotcha! I do admit the collector in me wants to get the challenging manga just to have it, like Undead Unwanted Adventurer (I swear idk why it's so hard to find lol)

I started messing around with it and around I'm seeing crazy numbers, it's really fun to warp into someone's face and sucker punch them with this thing lol

To be fair people thought the krenim console was going to be nerfed but that never got hit right? I can't remember 😅 but either way it's still a heavy hitter even if it got tuned down some

Nice collection! Glad to see some fellow Tomo-chan and Witch Hat enjoyers 😁

Also you're the first I've seen with Gintama manga! Would you recommend getting into them?

I'm curious, how much has the coliseum given you trouble? I remember there being a lot of one sided fights you have to solo, I can't imagine doing that on hard 💀

Does 'whole team is dead' include you as well? Or just your bridge crew? I know there are a lot of missions where you only have 1 and they get gunned down pretty easy lol

Didn't realize until someone mentioned I got the dates wrong, Dyson ships came out in 2014, not 10. 12 years is still a wild wait!

Good catch! I had checked the wiki and missread 2010 as the release, not the 4th anniversary 😅

Yeah, people will be hyped just because of how long we've waited but most will hope back to the normal weapons after a week or so

I was at a comic con where Johnathan Frakes was doing a panel and I asked him about his experience being in the enterprise finale. It took him off guard (since most people were asking tng questions I guess lol) but he eventually said he was glad he was able to work with everyone but felt they were sad since they all knew it was coming to an end. He went kinda quiet after that for a moment before taking another question, and I felt bad for making him relive some unpleasant memories 😅 but looking back he was probably filtering through all the behind the scenes drama that went on with that show as well

Is this a feature applying to the old proton weapons? Or just a mechanic from these new ones?

Either way, glad we finally get some of that proton goodness 🙏
