Author	Topic: Question on Vong Weaponry
RK_Striker_JK_5 Registered: Jul '03	Date Posted: 8/28/05 4:37pm Subject: Question on Vong Weaponry
	Hello. I'm writing a Transformers/NJo crossover. And I have no idea how to describe what Vong capital ship weapons are. Do they fire off plasma, magma, really hot rocks? I'd appreciate any help on this one. Thank you! -----signature----- E-married to the wonderful DarthIshtar. Now also her Padawan. Member of the Y.J.K.

	I agree with Meg, that was the article I was taking a look at. It looks to me (I've not read the series, just many summaries of them) like their capital ships and intermediate-size assault cruisers primarily use plasma-based projectiles for their primary attack weaponry, though I'm not sure what "volcano cannon" refers to. -----signature----- "Are my eyes really that far apart?

Almost sounds like it's some form of magma. 'Volcano weapons'. I also recall reading in SBS that Vong weapons don't have the range that turbolasers do. -----signature----- E-married to the wonderful DarthIshtar. Now also her Padawan. Member of the Y.J.K.

	They're frequently described as "plasma" throughout the series, but given the other inconsistencies, I suppose that doesn't mean much -----signature----- FADA Therapist The Lands of the Dead: http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/28522077/p1 Blood Trail: http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/28636429/p1 "They weren't very bright, even for Imperials."— Emala

	I think plasma is used for their more powerful weapons, but magma is used for theier lesser weapons. Either way, they're dead. -----signature----- E-married to the wonderful DarthIshtar.

	They can also use their dovin basals to suck up energy beams or projectiles, to strip the shields of enemy ships, and to create gravity wells that can suck another ship and them together to annihilate in the center of the singularity (only seen on coralskippers so far). Oh yeah - their worldships can also extend a long destructive vacuum tube thing (the "dread weapon" to suck up entire cities when the worldship gets hungry. And they also have biotoxins that can break down all organic material that they come in contact with, lichens to track ships through hyperspace, grutchins that eat through enemy hull armor and more or less ignore most types of shielding, and weird insects that can pollute a planet's atmosphere. -----signature----- Super Golden Ewok™ Recipient It should be the right of every American to go out and get wasted the day they're told that they're being sent to war.

	Kudzu-Oh, I knew about all that stuff. But thanks. I just didn't know what their main energy weapon could be described as. But still, thank you. Jedi_Phantom-What?? The Embrace of Pain... right.

	I still think Megatron's ability to reach through space and draw anti-matter from a Black Hole (must be an anti-matter black hole), which he can either feed into his Fusion Cannon for an even more powerful shot or simply release as a semi-suicide tactic, is niftier even if he never used it much.
