A New event for the mod...be afraid....be very afraid ;)
O..M..G!!!
That looks like a 1-Hit kinda weapon, please tell me it's stationary *trembles in fear*
I'd love for it to be very very slow in mobility, with a nice fleet surrounding it, but a fleet composed of petty meatshields :o
It's not stationary...
Its a Klingon super weapon that MOVES to a planet than disintegrates it. Seen in Star Trek Online where you have to destroy it before Admiral WatHisFace rains terror on the Federation and destroys earth. But it is damaged and goes on a planet killing spree and it is up to you to save the galaxy!!! :D No really thats actually a mission... props to Cryptic!
It's not Klingon, and was featured in the original series. But the other part is mostly correct.
But the TOS One was a bluish grey colour and had no lasers, not to mention it was organic and had a blue glow at the front, oh and its also about 3x the size of constitution, in other words, not very big.
I believe that the machine from STO was the original one form the show, they just re activated it. Only he lost control of it and it pretty much became a indiscriminate weapon of terror for his madness.
Oh god is the doomsday machine? Which was then expanded in the novels as being a weapon designed to fight the borg.
Still if I come across that in game I will be going all the way to brown alert ;-)

EVIL KLINGONS DESIGNED IT TO DESTROY THE GREAT AND NOBLE FEDERATION!! NOT THE BORG!! IT IS A HORRIBLE MACHINE THAT'S ONLY PURPOSE IS TO BRING MAYHEM TO THE COSMOS!!! :D Well it actually is... According STO.
no they didn't.

In Star Trek Online they did, Admiral wahtshisface was going to use the doomsday device to destroy Earth and make the Federation ****** off at the Klingons and "create never ending war!" so that more Klingons can die in battle and die "honorably."
Not even close. I've played that mission too, and it clearly states that jerkface was only studying it and reactivated it. It's not a Klingon weapon.
Klingons used that weapon, so it's a Klingon Weapon! Qa'pla!
I take it you've never watched Star Trek the Original Series. If you had, you'd know that the Doomsday Machine is not a Klingon weapon, B'Vat only found it after Kirk disabled it and then reactivated it, but lost control.
Would love to assimilate one of those
I'm starting to wonder that too. is it even vulnerable to the assimilation abilities? (this and the cylinder ship from Star Trek IV)
Wow!
Sparky is that you? Kill it!
I would love it if you could possible make it so when it attacks a planet it strips it down to a dead asteroid, kind of like the Vasari Loyalist type thing.
That was actually discussed, but I think they decided that it's not really possible. The way the Vasari thing worked was by scuttling your own planets, it wasn't an activatable ability.
What about a force scuttle?
O_O
Does it also attacks planets? I really hope it has the same feature as the Vasari Loyalist where they destroy the planet and turn it into an asteroid .
Now this I could get on board with :p
One problem "stripped to the core" is essentially scuttling a planet. The research for it is also extremely hardcoded, meaning you cannot touch it without moding the engine itself. Now there are a few other ways they could get around it using particle effects and what not. But, if they went that route I'd expect far better than one measly asteroid from this team. Given what they have done so far.
So what if they scuttle a planet??? DO YOU THINK THE DEATHSTAR SHOULDN'T BLOW **** TO PIECES EITHER??? lol :)
Actually, as I stated earlier, stripped to the core is not how you would go about doing this. Finally why are you mentioning the Death Star on a Star Trek mod. It is not logical to do so.
thats a nice looking long shafted super weapon to get my hands on :)
I dink he secritzly means *****.
Are you going to make the effect a Cone, or is that not possible?
Hmmm a "Borg death ray". Should that beam be green since the Borg use plasma weapons?
It's not Borg buddy.
Its the episode called "The Doomsday Machine" in the Original Series where the enterprise encounters the constitution starship stranded, with the "Doomsday" device.
I can safely say that if I find this, I am going to run as far away as fast as I can... Although it is good to see the "Doomsday" Device back... Kinda...
I'm caught in between being afraid of seeing that thing close to one of my planets, and wanting to take it on, with loads and loads of quantum torpedos. Shoving some of them down the barrel should make for a nice big boom.
I really wish this and the bioships were more deadly. More of a one-hit ko type ship. I feel like they're more of just a nuisance.
