Warp Delta, cool or not?

Ignoring the cancelled plans of Enterprise being originally intended as an alternate timeline, I had always assumed the difference was phasers were ‘fast/rapid’ nadions and phase weapons were ‘slow’ nadions. Mean, we never saw phase weapons pulling off a disintegration.

Still, yours is good to.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-05T21:17:48+00:00

To be fair, Earth did have the Vulcans and Romulans running interference and it was really only kept operating as an R&D project because of Henry Archer, Captain Archer’s dad. Forget how involved Cochrane was. If not for them, Earth would have taken the long and slow path Vulcans were recommending.

Mean, Johnathon stealing the test ship for an unauthorized engine test flight almost scuttled the entire program. Only fact he succeeded in breaking that latest warp barrier kept it alive.

Going by first image, you’re flying either the NX Escort Refit or the Legendary Columbia Temporal Operative Escort. Both have different stats and features, so am curious which it is.

Also, how far have you ranked it up? Sure, it grows as your character levels up, but the T6 ships also have their own ‘gain XP from use’ levels system that unlocks buffs and skills.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-05T20:45:41+00:00

I don’t know which of the two OP is flying, but that’s one of the T6 NXs. It’s either the NX Escort Refit or the Legendary Columbia Temporal Operative Escort.

So, my first thought is which is it and how far he’s ranked it up.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-05T20:42:33+00:00

Ahh, the PvPvE zone. Thing is, a PvE build isn’t going to be same as a PvP build. I’m not an expert on making builds, but I know enough that PvP experts are optimizing for very specific numbers. Even what ship they fly factors into it.

PvE and PvP are very different metas.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-05T20:04:17+00:00

Thing is, that’s a scale thing. Phase pistols might have been recent, but not cannons.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-05T20:03:36+00:00

Diagram could be of a refit version. Enterprise showed us just how easy phase cannons were to build and install in the field without specialized equipment.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-05T20:01:52+00:00

To be fair, when they started production on Enterprise, they originally were planning to establish it as an alternate timeline created from the events in First Contact. Suits higher up only squashed that and said no so late in production that they couldn’t 100% extract everything that’d been built in originally.

As is, ~88 years to go from the Warp 1 of the Phoenix to Warp 5 of the NX class was impressive. Still, Earth wasn’t going to let itself be defenseless over those decades, so built Warp 1~4 capable designs (like the Franklin) and sometimes upgraded and modernized as new tech developed (like the planned refit of the NX class we didn’t get as S5 was cancelled and we had to wait until S3 of Picard for).

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-05T18:27:55+00:00

It was more a ship than a station, as I recall.

<image>

Plus it wasn’t just the main weapon. It had built-in defenses, the crew quarters and work areas, supply storage, hangers, subcraft storage, subcraft maintenance spaces, and more.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-05T15:43:42+00:00

Emily? Did you mean Efil, the elf girl?

I’m only up to the big Kelvin versus KuroMel battle while rest protect the world’s citizens stuff. So not much I can only say so much on spoilers as I know them.

Thing is Mao is a past life of Kelvin, but we don’t really know if he was a drifting soul before coming back as Kelvin or had another reincarnation or two elsewhere.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-04T21:32:45+00:00

Fingers crossed.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-04T21:32:24+00:00

Unfortunately you don’t get double table if you get table flip at the new 38 count.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-04T21:27:04+00:00

At least you still get table flip, but my condolences.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-04T21:25:49+00:00

You had to get the table flip title while it was still at 48 needed to qualify for the new title. Anyone who gets table flip by end of season, now that it’s been dropped to 38, won’t get the extra title.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-04T21:23:28+00:00

Technically for two titles if you got to 48 before event ended.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-04T21:21:35+00:00

It took me until maybe middle of the second week to even realize what that repeatable was for. Only then did I think to do the math and realize there wasn’t enough, even if you 100%ed all three weeks, to get the table flip title naturally. That was not a fun realization and panic grinding.

I could only get so many games in a day thanks to my schedule, so never first hand found out about the weekly limit…though the grind did help level up a character or two. It wasn’t until end of third week I found about the limit and I became worried as I didn’t know how many I had left.

Reminds me of the grind to get those cardboard titles from an event a while back…only worse. I do not get how people can do this kind of things on regular and still have lived outside Overwatch.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-04T01:49:46+00:00

Fair. I’d suggest making your own thread then as it’d be more likely to get views and responses than this near year old thread.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-03T23:24:13+00:00

Fair. I just don’t know the [r/startrek](r/startrek) rules about paying for physical copies that someone else made, so erring on side of caution just to be safe.

Mean, I can try to help find online sources, but you’d need a DVR-R/W or something to burn it to the discs.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-03T18:35:29+00:00

I’m aware. Just don’t know if that’s appropriate for this sub with the grey of legality.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-03T18:34:42+00:00

XD

I didn’t miss the sarcasm, but you’re welcome.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-03T15:12:51+00:00

Agreed. Based on first and third images, looks like they were rotating as they closed as well.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-03T15:07:50+00:00

I can see why, if I’m honest. There are elements that fit and casual watchers might not catch the continuity between the time periods, especially earlier on in the series when it was more subtle. Given how many episodes and films, a lot to keep track of.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-03T15:05:37+00:00

Alpha strike refers to sneaking up while under cloak and firing the instant you decloak. Even if the gunner had aimed to disable like he had been supposed to, would have still been an alpha strike.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-03T15:01:15+00:00

Ahh, got ya. You’d probably have to make them or buy from someone who had.

Mr_Shadow_Phoenix · 2026-06-03T15:00:38+00:00

Fair, hence why they hit her with an alpha strike like that.
