Phase Transit Canon. THe really big gun on the Concordia (actually a big PART of the Concordia)

I like the sound the PTC makes.

Yeah, the PTC is HUGE. I looked at a sister-ship design which did not have 1, and it really wasn't as impressive if u ask me. However, w/ the cannon built in, now THAT is a classic look right there!

I don't believe we've ever seen a confederation class dreadnaught without a PTC.

I'm surprised no race thought of shields that ABSORB energy, collect it, and use it to store for later, or overcharge energy weapons w/ it for massive punch (fighters punching thru phase shielding!).

 

[Mekt-Hakkikt]

Would be pretty hard to destroy, eh?

Well since torpedoes dont release energy until they explode, and they are designed to go through sheilds, I dont think there would be much of a difference. Plus there would probably be a limit as to the amount of energy the shields could channel at any one time.

Fools...

Having 'em spread around the ship is actually a better idea, IMHO. No sense in having vulerable sections on your ship.

And a Confederation dreadnought without a keel wouldn't be a very sturdy ship, would it?

That's exactly right! Concentrate enough firepower, though a lot, since such a ship would have emergency energy-bleeding tech, and you could destroy it. Also, notice ENERGY ABSORBING,...what about those wonderful mass drivers? MAJOR WEAKNESS for maulers!
