Have a great day, Cayden! Keep up all your hard work.
Will do. What can I say, you keep the boards entertaining....
First off, I have never heard of a Prometheus class being referred to as a "Prommie," and that sounds like a dog breed.
I think canon info on this class is hard to come by, unfortunately. The prototype is in one episode of VOY. Admittedly, it was a good episode with Andy Dick and the Doctor, but the ship really only goes into MVAM once, and that's all it does. We have no idea how Starfleet is going to implement this design or if they built anymore. We'd basically be basing an entire SIMM off of one episode of Star Trek and that's it.
Well.....sort of. The Prommie had three onscreen appearances but only in one did they actually use the MVAM. Alot of the other boards utilize the Prometheus class but as an updated version. Some keep the MVAM and some do away with it for fear of god-modding with their fictional phasers, torpedoes, and the three way split.
I have to both agree and disagree at the same time to this.
A) It is indeed very very hard to come across canon info for ships like this (but hey some people might enjoy the challenge) when it comes to a ship like this
B) I would really really disagree with MVAM-enabled ships, as that's just a tactical cop out in my opinion
C) That issue of not having much data is a problem with several other species, such as was suggested. Say we had a romulan warbird or a dominion bug we'd also have to go off-cannon a lot, though admittedly we have a lot more screentime with such a ship.
That's one of the fun things about creating a SIMM..it's laying out the specs. Essentially, you guys are picking a shell to RP within. We (the CLOs and Command Team), will lay out the specs and go from there.
I'm fast becoming a fan of the refit of an older class ship. Just understand that the Excelsior and Ambassador classes are not "small" ships . They were at the time, the capital ships of Starfleet.
I'm also a fan of the Galaxy though there could be a debate on whether or not that ship design was a failure or not. Reddit had an interesting article about it. Myself and Revek, had an interesting discussion about it.
