Dominion weapons power
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?

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.Ender wrote:Anyone ever done any work on this?

Pain, or damage, don't end the world, or despair, or fuckin' beatin's. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, ya got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man ... and give some back.

Re: Dominion weapons power
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.
