Remember that wierd Voyager episode with the ST
ship that broke apart into three pieces to attack
the Romulans? Does that idea have any relevance
for FT?
Obviously since ships only have 1 structure block
and 1 shield and so on, getting onto more than one
side has no effect. However, it does require the
enemy have 3 firecons to shot at all three pieces
and that could have *some* effect.
If you did it as a "supership" that is multiple
sections, would the attacker have to specify
which piece he was shooting at when he shot at
the combined ship? Would only 1 have a stardrive?
Would an engine on one piece which gave 2 thrust
to the whole ship (because it was more massive)
give more thrust when broken apart? When could the
ship break apart (what part of the turn segment)?
Just how wacky is this idea?
