Defiant Class Weapons systems

[elminster]

Ok people, I could do with some more suggestions for weapons. Try and keep them to existing mods, or ones that can be more easily developed to cut down on the release time.

Thanks

I would like to see the addition of the dorsal column-shaped phaser array on the Defiant that you see it using many times in that episode of DS9 where the Defiant takes on Worf's Negh'var in the alternate universe. I noticed also that that phaser had a slightly different sound effect and impact sound than the "standard beam phaser", it would be neat if somehow that could be included as well.

As for the "experimental weapons on the drawing board" referred to in Best of Both Worlds, I would think some variation of a "phased" phaser weapon to correspond to Dominion weaponry would seem like a logical avenue of research, since we already know for fact that the Federation (eventually) goes in that direction with torpedoes (transphasic) as an anti-Borg design. Maybe, to balance it for gameplay and multiplay, it would have an excessively long charging time, but would go clean through shields when it actually hit.

Perhaps this is REALLY overstretching what you can do in the game, but since I don't really know anything about modding, I will just throw it out there as an idea anyway. What about the possibility of being able to modulate shield nutation? Perhaps have a "weapon" that when "fired", temporarily made the ship's shields invulnerable (or boosted them?), which would be a very neat addition vs. Borg. (You could use it just as you saw those 6 borg torpedoes flying in) It would be neat if this were a separate strategic option rather than just integrated as "stronger shields", as with the Sovereign currently.

Bumped and unstickied.

[captain obvious]

how about a mega phaser? or cloaked torpedoes? or mabye a weapon which recarges/reloads a friends weapons? another idea weould be to have torps which dock with a target, and continually cause damage for a certain amount of time?like a limpet mine. overloaded photons?

How bout Transphasic Phasors?(Can't belive no one's thought of this b4.) Or subspace weaponry? And how bout a Point Defence Laser, and everything in the Adv. Tehc. Pack?
