[OOC] [Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

[Burning Kitty]

@Queen Raidne You forgot one detail.

The Creed's three parts performed a combo attack on one pyramid ships.

[Lmpkio]

Yeah Captain Kardoff will not be happy about those who aren't following orders.

[Mataus]

Yep, and if you want a very simple story to what the Myth did: Cloaked immediately upon Anubis arrival, gave the fight a thought, then warped into all of the battling starfighters with the cloak no longer enabled. The point being to defend the shuttle, as you said :).

[Queen Raidne]

Okay! I think I got everything. Those of you TL;DR'ing (I'd prefer you didn't, that post took two hours, and then I spent another hour editing it down to as short as I could), you should be able to get away with the hider and looking at your @mentions, if you have one.

TL;DR (spoilers)

A Tok'ra agent asks the party at large for help getting off of Anubis' mothership.

The imperial shuttle gets blown up. Captain Bonma and his comms officer are barely alive in the cockpit, floating in the hyperspace vortex with the Ahel. An Al'kesh and two gliders are also with the Ahel. They start firing.

The rest of the crew, and Palpatine, are on the Creed's Alpha section. The other officers are downed (stunned?) immediately. Palpatine is in a defensive fight.

Anubis' mothership fires her guns at The Liberator while closing to Asgard Transport Beam range with the Creed's Alpha section. Two Al'Kesh decloak near the section and open fire, attempting to disable shields so that Anubis can transport troops on board, tag Palpatine with a tracker, and transport him off it.

@Burning Kitty
I know you said straight to the brig, but it's Palpatine. His well-honed reflexes and general Big Bad Guy nature means that there's got to be a fight scene. I'd feel guilty missing the opportunity, otherwise!

[Flamelord]

Well then, I see stuff happened

@Queen Raidne

Eh, it's Star Trek. What would the franchise be without a transporter malfunction or ten :P

[Burning Kitty]

Palpatine channeled his anger, reaching out, making the Force obey him, making it tell him what the guards were going to do before they knew themselves.

@Queen Raidne

So the Force can read computers? The guards are all holographic, they are a computer program.

@Burning Kitty

...totally missed that! Interesting.

Hmm.

That changes the fight somewhat, but not completely. Palpatine still has an initial advantage; Luke can predict the shots of a training robot, so Palpatine should be able to predict incoming fire. Just not as well.

I'll edit my post.

Let's be honest, though, Palpatine is alone on an enemy ship. Barring the intervention of Anubis, it won't end well for him. Of course, it's debatable if Anubis' intervention will end well for Palpatine either.

@Queen Raidne

Even if he is not slaughtered by holographic secrurity like the Jedi by the Clones during Order 66. Unless he makes to where another living person is, there is numerous ways to make him a non-threat. Some of which the Force could probably save him from.

For future reference, the only living things aboard the ship, Starfleet crew in my ship sheet, Dead Space guests, and reporters, maybe plants. The plants could be holographic.

[Burning Kitty]

@Queen Raidne in your post you never did mention how the triple attack from Prometheus worked out. It occurred moments before Prometheus Alpha attacked Palpatine's shuttle. Unless I missed it.

Secondly... And this is by impulse. I'm at work and don't have the ability to take time off to look something up. They have to shut down the EMH on voyager sometimes to make scientific calculations or otherwise need lots of processing power-

Are we even sure a ship can field an entire team of holographic security officers?

[Sophrus]

Given how the Goa'uld use plasma against each other, I'd imagine the shielding would be reasonably effective against it. The only established thing so far with regard to Goa'uld shielding is how concentrated the weapon's energy is. The more concentrated, the more effective.

@Queen Raidne

So, it seems like their shielding is designed to counter energy weapons, what about hypervelocity kinetics, like railguns, while the darts my frigates use would be rather small (125mm diameter, probably a few inches long) they would be going very fast and so the kinetic energy would be very concentrated into a tiny area. Correct me if im wrong but it sounds like my railguns would punch through the shields with some ease, though might not do a ton of damage to the ship itself due to its size.

Blasters on the other hand im not sure, ill find an in game description and let you decide.

"Particle blasters operate on a similar principle as the railgun except they fire a magnetically contained ball of subatomic particles. No other turret class can match the sheer destructive power of particle blasters, but due to the rapid dispersion of the containment field, it also has the worst range of all turrets."

@Assallya

Like I said earlier in the thread or in the check, if I remember something I read about Star Trek online correctly they had holographic crews.

Voyager an Intrepid-class is an older ship class than the Prometheus-class. Like with most computers, they get more processing power in the newer models. Sure some extremely cheap computers are made with less processing power on purpose.

@Queen Raidne God Damnit you. You restarted this and didn't tag me? D:

B...b..b...but Queeny!

I don't suppose you'd allow a latercomer, cause the status is full. I'm gonna go cry in a corner.

[mattmanganon]

@Sep If it makes you feel any better, I had to find it too, I'm just a little too busy to join right now.

@Burning Kitty

@Burning Kitty I'll be handling the Pyramid ships so I'll get to that in the next post, don't you worry.

@Sophrus Actually I would have said the contrary is true. While their shields can defend against their own weapons fairly effectively, said weapons aren't too powerful either. More powerful energy based weaponry has been seen to quickly deplete Goa'uld shields.
However kinetic and explosives weapons have proven even less effective than Goa'uld staff cannons against shields.

Blasters on the other hand sound like they would tend more towards an 'energy' based weapon. So I would think that might be more effective than pure kinetic weapons.

The energy vs kinetic topic is currently being discussed so nothing set in stone just yet.

[Burning Kitty]

I know the personal shields certain Goualds have used have had daggers thrown through them and injured the person inside.

[Sep]

@Burning Kitty That's due to their design. Goa'uld spaceship shields are designed to block everything coming at them, whereas personal shields you need to walk around unencumbered. Which is why things moving slowly, or fast blades with a fine point can pierce through. As the shields aren't as strong, you could also just orbitally bombard them.

[Lmpkio]

Getting a post up now. This is gonna be another long one so bear with me.

[Dnafein]

Like I said earlier in the thread or in the check, if I remember something I read about Star Trek online correctly they had holographic crews.

@Burning Kitty

I don't know about holographic crews but Memory Alpha points out that Prometheus Class ships in Star Trek Online lack the "multi vector assault mode." Th star trek wiki sites do acknowledge that the ships have holoemitters through out the ship, it does however specifically mention that they are so the EMH mark II has full access to the ship instead of being restricted to the sickbay.

@mattmanganon

I definitely had total confidence in this RP's ability to leave the runway. I'm a very self-confident lady.
RP's are like ordering your favorite food. Every once in a while, it's more fun to be pleasantly surprised.

...while being careful not to whack the Venator with her tail end.

@Anomaly758

Omake

The bridge was a hub of efficient chaos. Admiral Kardoff breathed easier now that General Vell and his particular breed of insanity was no longer present. He turned his attention to the battlespace projected on a holo screen. It was crowded and messy, like... well, like someone threw a bunch of ships from disparate militaries together and then attacked. Kardoff frowned, eyes narrowing. If they weren't careful-

All the lights in the bridge dimmed and came back online. The ship shuddered and vibrated like a plucked cello. Admiral Kardoff had to grab the edges of the holo table.

"What has that blasted Jedi done now!?" he demanded.
