Guest Posted February 2, 2002 "Comparing the weapons characteristics of the SW games to the ST movies/series is just plain dumb. What's the ingame range of the weapons in a ST game? (so not the stats) Get my point?" The INGAME range of weapons in Starfleet Command is more than 50000km. In X-Wing the INGAME range of lasers is 2km and other weapons about 6-8km. So Star Trek guys would destroy empires fighters (most of them don't have shields) quite easily from 30000km range... By the way, you have forgotten tractor beams. They should be able to keep empire's ships outside of the weapon range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christophercles 0 Posted February 2, 2002 No I dont really go to the sfc forums much, im still waiting to get into the sfc community and the dynaverse since MY ORION PIRATES CD BROKE AT A LAN!!! (cries for hours, then chases people down the street in a fit of anger). So, when i get my new cd, ill probably start visiting, but probably not now. And also, I dont think the federation was based on the japanese, since Gene said that he based alot of his creation on the book, i cant remember its name, but it had Hornblower in it. Come to think of it, i think it was called "Hornblower". Wierd coincidence eh? Anyway, that was based on the british navy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, that was based on the british navy.<span id='postcolor'> Oh I didn't mean the Federation was based on the Japanese. i meant the Romulans were based on the Japanese and to a greater expense ancient Romans. The Federation is SUPPOSE to be based I imagine on some Socialist Utopian type society. You are thinking about "Horatio Hornblower" which Roddenbury used to base the universe on, or rather the style. Old style swashbuckling adventure that is. Be sure to pop on the forums when you can. Lotta interesting threads not to mention tons of screenshots that user made ships to put in the game.
