What about main deflectors?

Ok, i donīt reeeealy want, but you must accept that there are a lot of interesting stuff in the series. Didnīt you never wanted to target your own photon torpedo with a phaser and make them blow to damage a nearby ship?

I think this is the kind of stuff that will make the game more fun.

Well, there's a lot of interesting stuff in the show because it's intended to be interesting. Now a game is supposed to be three things: playable, balanced  and fun (umm... bug-free?  ). Adding absolutely unpredictable stuff like that would make the game not unplayable but impossible to code.

MarianoDT:
I think it would be a great addition to the game if every ship could be able to use its main deflector to fire (or emit, sorry but my english is not very good) differents types of beams. I mean, tachyon, myotronic, etc, etc, and several more. As we saw in he series. We could set the deflector during the game to emit the beam we want, depending on how the battle is going. Of course it would need time to set and load.

This will add some complexity to the game and will let us use a very important part of the ship.

What do you think?  

Genesis:
Noting you just can add

What wuld y use the Beams for? you got deep scans and probs and thy are prefilling thyr tasks well a good assets but i cant see what you culd ore shuld use it for in this game....  

and the beams are alrdy in the game as a wepon system... !

Alidar Jarok:
Welcome to Taldren forums.

When the Deflector was modified to fire a beam, it took a long time to make the adjustments.  The weapon was supposidly very powerful, but it caused a signifant power drain to the ship using it.  It could not fire a variety of weapons, though.

MarianoDT:
I am not talking about using it as a heavy weapon. But we see in the series that the ships doesnīt have any problems to fire a tachyon or antitachyon pulse or another beam. We could use it just to prevent warp without damaging or to create some distortion to lower shields. And i remember the Enterprise in the series using its deflector against the borg. Sorry but i donīt remember the episode.
