I can't imagine how lovely the experience is on any console other than PC. Did they make the graphics look better at least or is it just a port?

hahaha an error like that on the very first lockboxes will completely kill the revenue on the console versions. Idiots had one job.

If you have saucer sep and a second Galaxy set console on a Gal-X, it's a 17 turn destroyer with 8 weapons, a hanger Bay, a second mediocre pet and a built-in Big Dumb Beam.

My favorite thing about the Gal-X (the design of the actual ship in the universe, nothing to do with the game) is that it's clearly designed for battle between the extra nacelle and the giant phaser thing in the middle. It's a visual indicator Starfleet eventually realized families in space was idiotic and converted those luxury liners to battleships as a result.

Why does a third technobabble space engine doohicky = Battleship? Like the spinal wave motion gun, yeah, sure, but adding a nacelle to a ship doesn't automatically militarize it and remove all civilian crew unless I'm missing some super obscure piece of star trek sperg. Was the Constellation a super battleship by this logic

It's likely a redundancy in case you lose one. Like in battle. Also third nacelle (and warp 13) indicates more power from a core, which means more powerful weapons

No the correct answer is they superglued another nacelle to the model and called it a "battleship" so nerds would buy an extra plastic spaceship model to play with in their bedrooms. In universe? It's just an extra propellor screw.

It's really a thing common in a lot of sci fi where more power suddenly means everything on a spaceship or a mad science laboratory suddenly works better because you plugged in ten generators instead of one. You know, instead of electrical arcs fusion welding all the gear into a molten mess and killing everyone present because it wasn't rated for ten million space volts and it arced right through the metal decks & bulkheads.

I just thought of it like how it is in STO: more power to a system lets it work more efficiently, with there being maxima both to the amount of power a system can make use of, as well as how much total power a ship can provide to distribute between its systems, and they simply don't provide power to less essential systems (hygiene) in certain situations. Arguably, however, who would design a ship where you can't run everything you need to at once, as well as you can, in case some emergency called for it?

If a thing has electricity it either works or it doesn't. Pumping in more juice than it was designed to handle is going to wreck it not make it more efficient. Wait this is star trek. Black holes have cracked event horizons, vaporizing a person always stops after their shoes are gone and putting the equivalent of the national grid into a desktop PC just allows a more efficient overclock.

DancingShade posted:What. In-universe, they use plasma ("EPS Conduits") to carry electrical current and not copper wires. That means that a third matter/anti-matter reaction chamber can increase the recharge rate of the plasma, which would make weapons more effective by allowing for more energy to be broadcast into space for your daft punk laser shows.

Psycho Landlord posted:Bloke Don't be silly. It's not just more power, the warp field bubble has to be balanced. If it were to collapse during warp it could tear the ship in two. Everyone knows that having 3 nacelles is very hard to balance that's why ships traditionally have had 1 or 2 or 4 but not 3 or 5. The fact that the federation managed to get the third nacelle balanced on a ship of that size shows that they were in serious dire straits if they were willing to risk it. Your 29 nacelles could never in a million years be balanced properly.

Slap another nacelle on that bitch and we'll get the specs over to the shipyards.

The nacelles have no function in power generation, that's all the warp core.
