What’s the Achilles?

u/MetalBawx Jul 19 '24

Have you ever thought to yourself, what if the Defiant fucked Voyager and had a baby? Because that's the Achillies.

He likes war. She likes science.

Violent shipyard noises intensify.

He was a boy, she was a girl

Can I make it anymore obvious?

He was a fighter, she did scans

What more can I say?

That is the Dominion Wars ship I want - a hulking Hutet with frigate pets.

That was really cool. Thank you for sharing :)

NP, it's a really old game but one of my favorites and I've always loved the design of the Achilles.

Also, it does have the unique octa phaser cannons.

Come on now, Dominion Wars isn't "really old," why it only came out in 2001, that's only 23 years agohmygodimold

...and it cannot be bought again, for some reason.

I tried searching for the game on GOG, but it isn't available. At least they have the Armada games though.

2

u/Taranaichsaurus Jul 20 '24

It did take them a while to get the Armada games, maybe it's a coding issue & the GOG elves are working on it (along with Star Trek: Away Team, which I never got around to when it first came out but always wanted to try)

u/MetalBawx Jul 20 '24

No Starfleed Command 2 either but they have 1 and 3...

u/MetalBawx Jul 19 '24

Same pulse phasers as the Defiant but more off them in the nose and a VLS micro munitions launcher on it's dorsal hull just behind the saucer.

u/MajorDakka Torpedo Fetishist Jul 19 '24

I would love to get some VLS torpedoes with a 360 degree arc

u/2Scribble ALWAYS drop GK Jul 19 '24

Make it a special 360 tac weapon - give it the animations of the Kelvin Klingon proton charges - boom

Easy

It looks alot like the inquiry class with its square deflector dish.

Imagine if Sisko got to design the Avenger/Arbiter/Inquiry like he did the Defiant.

You'll know it when you see it here.

That’s a good looking ship I want it!

u/rb0009 Jul 19 '24

Yes. More importantly, I want those octo-phasers and the 'excuse me, I said I don't want to see that fleet' quantum torpedo launcher
