yup ,the TRB Beam was broke at the start and always did 20 damage from any were ,as of the 2538 patch acorrding to the 2552 patch read me it was fixed and has broke out to TRBL and TRBH.Now the DroD can be placed the same way as the TRBL or TRBH is (manually edit the shiplist text and place it in any weapon slot) and fires a plasmaD as a weapon not sure what kind of damage it does but those are the only 2 i know of ...

So if it fires as a Plasma D, can it still target Missiles aswell?  I haven't tried this so I don't know.

I did a forum search to see if anyone posted a damage table for the TRB weapon and found the following...


G. (FROM CASTRIN) Considering that the weapon is already present, the TRB(H)  correct damage chart is as follows:

TRBH (in SFC the TRB)
| Die Roll | Rng: 0-3 | 4-5 | 6-8 | 9-12 | 13-18 | 19-25 |
| 1 | 20 | 20 | 18 | 12 | 8 | 3 |
| 2 | 20 | 20 | 15 | 9 | 5 | 2 |
| 3 | 20 | 18 | 12 | 6 | 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 20 | 15 | 9 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| 5 | 18 | 12 | 6 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| 6 | 15 | 9 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

----PRIORITY FOUR----

I'd also like to see the TRL if possible. I know that this may not be but in the interest of completeness here is the damage table for that as well:

TRBL
| Die Roll | Rng: 0-3 | 4-5 | 6-8 | 9-12 | 13-18 | 19-25 |
| 1 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 6 | 4 | 2 |
| 2 | 10 | 10 | 7 | 4 | 3 | 1 |
| 3 | 10 | 9 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| 4 | 10 | 7 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| 5 | 9 | 6 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 6 | 7 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |


I edited the wording a bit to make sense but I believe the damage tables are from Starfleet Battles.

TRB's take two turns to charge and the energy may come from any available source.

The Dro-D is a plasma torpedo that is fired like a drone.

The max damage is 10 to range 5, and degrades rapidly from there.  I don't think it goes further than range 10.

However, there are... issues... with this weapon.  As it is considered a "drone", you can "change the speed" of it, even though all varieties travel at speed 32...

Slow Dro-D's are normal, proper, happy weapons that are quite useful (I love dropping a Dro-D scatterpack from my I-CCZ... :D)
Medium Dro-D's ignore shields.  You can score internals without firing a single phaser using these...
Fast Dro-D's are permanently set in "enveloping" mode...

The DroD seems to have the speed and range of a plasma torpedo and breaks down over time.  It fires as a drone, with no specific arc.  It does a small amount of damage against shields but it seems to have significant bleed through.  I don't know exactly how many points of damage it does, but it's pretty substantial.  It does at least half as much as a PlasmaF or photon torpedo, maybe more.  I've used to simulate the weaker blue/white torpedoes the Romulans used once or twice, but the ships armed with them were way overbalanced, unless I removed all the phasers.

Wow!  I have to admit, they do sound way powerful.  I thought they just tried to copy the Plasma D's from SFB, but it looks like these are completely different weapon system.  They can pierce sheilds???   :o
