I've known about Kitsune's site for a while. I was wondering what you guys think of it.

Re: Kitsune's Science Fiction Conversions
Lots of problems here, some just annoying typos, but others are real messed up assumptions, like the Galaxy class having 300 torpedoes total loadout, when canonically we know they have 250.

I thought we are never told what a full load of torpedos was for a Galaxy class?Mike DiCenso wrote:Lots of problems here, some just annoying typos, but others are real messed up assumptions, like the Galaxy class having 300 torpedoes total loadout, when canonically we know they have 250.

Don't you remember the Pegasus argument thread between you, WILGA and myself?
I believe it is in "Conundrum" that we have the 250 torpedo loadout for the E-D...

Re: Kitsune's Science Fiction Conversions
Vaguely, I don't recall it being stated that 250 was the maximum number it could carry, but I'll admit I don't have the quote handy in any form. I thought 250 torpedos was what they had at the time?Praeothmin wrote:Don't you remember the Pegasus argument thread between you, WILGA and myself?

Re: Kitsune's Science Fiction Conversions
The 250 photon torpedo loadout does indeed come from "Conundrum". It is to date the only direct canon statement about how many torpedoes are carried on a GCS.

Re: Kitsune's Science Fiction Conversions
Actually, the TNG TM says there are 275 photon torpedoes. When the Warsies do their Pegasus calcs, they always take that number since it adds another 25 torpedoes, which in turn further reduces the average yield per torpedo.

Re: Kitsune's Science Fiction Conversions
Another goof-up is the number of phaser strips on the saucer section. Kitsune claims four when any good accounting of the thing shows visually only two big strips (one dorsal, one ventral). When the saucer is docked to the stardrive, there are two small strips on the upper neck of the stardrive hull, which may have caused this person some confusion given the blended shapes. But when seperated, those two little phaser strips go with the stardrive, leaving only the two big ones with the saucer.Lucky wrote:I thought we are never told what a full load of torpedos was for a Galaxy class?Mike DiCenso wrote:Lots of problems here, some just annoying typos, but others are real messed up assumptions, like the Galaxy class having 300 torpedoes total loadout, when canonically we know they have 250.

As a secondary consequence Kitsune nerfs the stardrive count as well. With nine exposed phaser strips while docked with the saucer, and 10 when the stardrive is conducting independent operations.
Judging from the spelling and grammatical errors, I'd say hazard a guess that english is not Kitsune's native language.
