Thanks! I'll have updates for it within the next couple days. I'm gonna scan
some more of my ships and maybe some of the larger weapons arrays (the smaller
ones all attach to a ship while the larger ones can operate on their own).

LOL...Not really sure actually, I guess cause Trek technology is so
mainstream, and I like some of the ideas they have, like the weapons arrays
and those self replicating mines. I think that a lot of my ideas come from
Star Trek...hmmm...would that make me a...*gasp*...trekie?! 0_o

Egad! That means whenever your ship gets shot in the rear, half the
bridge blows up and shields drop to 28%.
I suppose the Star Trek universe never heard of redundancy or fuse
boxes.

Don't forget the Photon Torpedos that totally wreck a ship, with all the power
of a hand gernade. (Ever seen Star Trek 5. "Fire a torpedo on my position."
Then JUMPS out of the way.) Seriously though Star Trek weapons are junk.
Those self replicating mines are a good idea but are way too weak to be
effective against a real military vessel. (A Star Destroyer for example.)

Obviously not.

ROTFL...there ya go, my ships all come equipped with multiple fuse boxes. :)
Doesn't it seem odd though that in Star Trek things blow up and make all sorts
of cool noises...I mean, I though space was a vacuum.

Uh oh, I don't think we should start that debate in here...LOL My explanation
is that while they share similar names the actual tech specs are completely
different. That would be a cool fight though...The Enterprise vs The Super
Star Destroyer...he he he...

Maybe in the Star Trek universe they never invented fuse boxes...-ZAP- "Dammit
Martha, you were running the clothes dryer and the washing machine at the same
time again, weren't you? Now I'm gonna have to rewire the whole dang house!"

I'm willing to forgive the "noises in space" just because it makes the TV
shows/Movies more exciting.

Yah, that and the fact that space *isn't* a vacuum. There is an extremely
small amount of gas and dust per cubic meter in yer average space. This
amount increases near stars and plantery bodies, which are constantly ejecting
gases and dust. And then the amount really increases near an exploding
spaceship, for hopefully obvious reasons. And if enough of these chunks of
debris hits the hull of *your* ship, you'll definitely hear something.
Too bad for Star Trek, though -- the matter from the explosion has to reach
your ship before you hear it. Depending upon your distance from the
explosion, the "sound" could actually be delayed for weeks. :-P

Ya that would be for lugnet.off-topic.debate

Ah. Well that is good to know. The tech specs would have a single Star
Destroyer wiping out the entire fleet at Wolf 359, including the Borg Cube.

An Imperial Star Destroyer would be total overkill let alone an SSD.

I have some nano-fig scale modles here to illustrate this. These were
originally created for the benifit of the newsgroup alt.startrek.vs.starwars.
