Starkey said:I don´t think the PTC works by punching holes on capships hulls. It seems to cause its target to collapse, disrupting its structure with the huge gravity change. So it could take out the cat Dreadnought. Heck, I´ve taken out that thing with my Excalibur! (on rookie, invincible mode )
Murray said:Is the Midway equipped with such a gun? If yes, its pretty stupid that they tried to mount that cyristal weapon to the ship and fry the bugs. Fire the PTC couple of times and you have your bug barbecue party...
Haesslich said:If you read the Encyclopedia or even the WC manuals, you'll note that the PTC was discontinued as a weapon in 2665, along with construction of new Confederation-class dreadnoughts, due to an unfortunate tendency to blow up when fired.
Besides, that crystal plasma cannon was a fleet killer weapon. The PTC targeted individual ships at close range, which would've allowed the bugs' plasma cannon to have fried the Midway and its entire escort group.
Murray said:I haven't played the Secret Ops. So, enlighten me please. Are there any news about the crystal plasma weapon? Was the Confed able to concour the technical difficulties on adaptation of the gun to its vessels? Or did they just throw out the damn piece of glass ?
Also, are the bugs using it anywhere in Secret Ops? It would be cool to see a Confeg fleet vanishing in a big blast of fire, for a change
Haesslich said:And no, the bugs don't get a chance to use it in our view in Secret Ops.
