I have no intention of using Dizzy's altered versions of my ships. I just don't like them. i'd prefer if he left the normal ships in and used his alrtered ones on his own system instead of forcing them on other people.

I already have an account there (UN: Brezgonne)

If the Tholian ships can be fixed to match how they are supposed to feel I'll likely take Dizzy up on the Tholian postion he offered.

Right now the Thls have some very differnt changes to them.

The turn modes are usually one catagory worse than they are supposed to be.

They have hellbores. This messes with their already tight powercurve and makes them feel bloody weird.

The firing arcs tend to be a bit extreame sometimes.

Personally I will probably swap out the models for the ones Dan made :-)

By the way Dan, have you ever seen Thu11's work on the Gorn? I wonder if you have considered an updated version of the Tholians for SFC mods. You know add a little more movie era look to the ships and a bit less SFB. The Thu11 Gorn ships have a strong reference to the SFC models while still updating the overall look.

I kinda liked the blood clots. Thought they looked cool. I agree they are not the color scheme of the Tholians in TOS, but I liked 'em. No matter what the final version that ends up in the files is, it is nice to see a new race.

I like those two also. Basically, think of it like this.

The Kzin like big shiny objects. I normally play Kzin. Ergo, I like big shiny objects.

Well..... I, uh...... well, Dan..... I don't know nuttin about ships.

I'm sure these represents the Tholian race just wonderfully.

It's just..... all those..... sharp edges!!!

I think it's just a girl thang to like smooth, rounded, sleek, gentle edges.

But please don't see this as an attack!!!

<runs away quickly!!!>

Regarding 'HOT' Tholian dates.... had the 'Smuggler's Blues' mission last night with a Tholian Freighter that, of course, was the one you HAD to capture.....

Thankfully, I was able to transport Marines on board.... they must have been issued asbestos suits....

Anyways, I guess we need to check on that so that A) they don't show up in missions where capturing is a necessity and B) that the Tholian freighters get the same immunitiy as the warships.

Both sides are assumed to use special enviromental suits.

THis sort of sucks for people attacking the Tholians since one breach in the preassure suit for all intensive purposes acts like a flamethrower coming through the hole due to the high preasures of the Tholian enviorment.

It's not quite as bad in reverse since the THolian looses mostly heat.

Seems as if the tholan ships have lots of transporters on this server. Is that correct? Looked like 6 transporters on a frigate that I was flying in skirmish mode.

That might be so but they only have about 12 mIarns.

You mean this ship?

Post by: Dizzy on May 20, 2003, 09:17:39 pm

Yes, the tholians have 10 transporters, or at least the ones that have web devices do. They have 20 mines.

The school of thought here is that an enemy must slow down to avoid taking damage from a mine, thius somewhat simulating the effects of the web...

Obviously this introduces many other problems, perhaps more than it solves... So this is a feature that needs to be looked at, as it probably will not make it into the final shiplist.

To me, aside from adding weapons or such to the tholian ships, the mines were an interesting choice.

Tholians ships are all equipped with 12 marines. They are special role NT which means not boardable. So you cant capture a tholian ship for obvious reasons, crago ships being the exception. Likewise, Tholians players will not be allowed to capture ships other than freighters if involved in a PvP. Kinda makes sense, ya know?

Well, anyway, this just helps make the tholians feel different than any other race...
