Personally, I’m not worrying about it too much. I’ve discussed what the Malevolence could do with Sep, and firepower or not, basically all it has going for it in the capacity of a warship against this enemy is the Ion Cannon, and even then, that won’t directly work on the Replicators until it’s properly attuned/modified with help from people that know what actually hurts these things, like the Hammond.

The real big guns of the Malevolence are its commanders. Grievous is operating on Legends/2003 feats, and Sinnali is a top-tier Force user, again operating on Legends Force abilities more than Clone Wars/the movies.

So, as far as a role for this ship, I expect the Malevolence will spend a lot of time doing little but preparing to strike at a critical moment, collaborating with other ships to make sure it can do so effectively. Grievous will probably manage that. Meanwhile, Sinnali will probably join the ground teams in investigating that way, perhaps playing body-guard to the more tech savvy. Or those roles might be switched; depends on how I’m feeling when a the moment to choose arrives.

Yeah on the inverse, my crew are at their best on the Stargazer. The ship has a lot of tricks up its sleeves. Definitely plenty tough for its size and capable of packing a decent punch.

I'm excited to see how they react to the CAS-class weapons ^^

It's interesting because in Trek lore, for the most part plasma based weaponry is considered outdated.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>
Isn't there an episode where Picard drops the Enterprise's shields just to mock a captain for trying to shoot the ship with lasers?

Not the same thing as plasma, yes, but it's pretty close, no?

Anything antimatter should, scientifically speaking, absolutely annihilate a Replicator. You cannot escape the fact that they're made of positively particles, which will annihilate upon contact with anti-particles completely to create a massive burst of energy. And sometimes new particles.

There will be no "damage" to recover from. Only kaboom.

It's why I so often avoid antimatter weaponry. Or note the actual science, because it's downright devastating.

I see.

Well, Avalon is just one small ship (compared to most of the others here), and if it somehow got infected... well, that would be very bad. Imagine the Replicators with Wave Motion Tech.

And, also, shields are great at dealing with it, at least in the SBY universe.

Yeah which is where my earlier headache comes back around.

Different universes play by such different rules.

<Snipped quote by Carolus Rex>

I'm mainly concerned if they use it for FTL. Since tachyons always move faster than light, if they somehow develop a way to convert themselves or their ships to tachyons and back after cannibalizing the Wave Motion tech, they could effectively bypass the existing hyperspace limitations in place in the Star Wars universe.

And also move faster than literally all of our ships barring a few I imagine.

Rationalizing how different weapon and defense systems from various realities is one thing that makes my brain hurt.

Everyone wants their vessel to stand a chance in a fight.

Avenger does not have guns, but if you go rogue, you'll find a squad of badasses teleported to your ship to explain it is a bad idea. Directly into your mind in some cases :D

Mind the indoctrination field and internal defenses then.
