TruBluBarbiQ Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I don't claim to be good at graphics, but I threw together a screenshot with a Star Trek image I found, and gave the torpedo some extra lighting effects to bring the layers together. I wonder if the Grineer have a phrase for "Ohhh S#&$!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doforcash Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 the Grineer would say "Ohhh S#&$, that thing gonna ram into us" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyssa Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Imagine the Borg starts invading while we're doing missions. We are corrupted the borg. Assimilation is inevitable. Resistance is capped at 60% plus armor modifiers futile. Your uniqueness will be added to our own and you will be given a shiny gold face mask.

(PSN)Darkseider Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Cool. We would be screwed though. Trying to fight against something as technologically superior as the Enterprise would result in instant disintegration. Transporters and the ability to engage in combat while traveling at speeds faster than light kind of put us at a disadvantage. We still need to be dropped off and picked up at an airlock.

I think we'd still win. They all have shuttle bays, and our little mantids move pretty fast when going for a stealth interception, and they clearly penetrate shields. We don't have any clear/centralized homebase, and specialize in guerrilla warfare that includes slaughtering an entire crew, destroying a ship's navigational system, detonating power cores, and assassinating high-ranking officials behind heavy guard. There's no clear disadvantage to us as there's no "open fight" where we'd be vulnerable, save for crew-to-crew, and all the phasers in the alpha quadrant aren't going to match up against teleporting zombie ninjas that spew fire and anti-matter on demand. Technically, once we have hubs, they stand a fair shot, but even then, there's countless dojos with tiny, exceedingly dangerous cells of tenno. Also, it's of note, if the conflict extended for any period of time, we'd start adapting their technology for ourselves. While we could design more dangerous and crazy weapons, the best they could do is be a cheap knock-off of the existing orokin scavengers we battle. All that being said, the whole "prime directive" thing means we'd be something like allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncrasis Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 All they have to do is put several industrial replicators on a ship, arm their transporters with photon torpedoes that are replicated over and over, assign a velocity, and sit by watching them rip apart the hull of any ship indefinitely. Hell, you could use anything for this... rocks, bodies, pieces of debris. A transporter can make any object into a high speed projectile missile. Or modify the deflector dish to use warp engine power and blast them apart one at a time. Or use the teleporters to beam all life forms into space. If you're talking about the Tenno, a transporter could conceivably remove the life form from the frame. As was brought up before, the Prime Directive would probably just mean Federation starships would ignore the fight and warp out, or make every attempt possible to avoid confrontation and damage. But if there was no Prime Directive and a reason for battle, oh the things a starship could do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anything that they can do with their entirely-computer-run system.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
