Anyone ever done any work on this? I was reading a plot summary of DS9 "Treachery, Faith & the Great River" and it said that the Dominion fighters were popping commet fragments. Any one ever try to use those, or does the NDF factor make it impossilbe to even generate a rough range by the standard method?

Umm, pretty damn powerful. They cut through Klingon and Feddie ships without much difficulty.

You didn't even read my post, did you?

Ummm, no I did not...

I did ages ago under the name Cashbailey@aol.com (a cool bad guy from the film Extreme Prejudice). It used to be at Wayne's site.

I never was able to scale the comet pieces that the Jem'Hadar actually blew apart, and and that time, it was really hard to figure out fragmentation energy anyway (now that's changed, thanks to a certain Sith Lord...what's his name. You probably remember him ).

If I can download that episode from Kazaa and make some vidcaps--something I seemingly cannot do at all; I only get a black screen when I hit "Print Screen"--I'll let you know what I find out. But since they were ice, even a fragment a kilometer in diameter isn't going to take a whole lot of equivalent energy to shatter.

Incidentally, Dominion weapons do utilize a chain-reaction effect. When they "vaporize" a Jem'Hadar First in "By Inferno's Light," we see the typical phaser effect.
