[QUOTE]Originally posted by The First One: [QB] [b]Starfleet Tactics[/b] It's gotten so we don't notice them anymore, but lines of dialogue during battles are peppered with orders for specific manoeuvres. Usually that's all we get to see - the Bridge rocks around a bit, Worf barks "shields down to 54%!" and that's it. Bit of a rip-off, really. But occasionally we do get to see a bit of what's really happening, and I started wondering whether it was possible to catalogue the identifiable formations and turns a ship might make. This is what I have so far. . . These tactics have been rendered in the form of little aniGIFs. [i]Pass�[/i], I know, but I had fun with them. I hope you enjoy them too. . . 8) [b]Attack Pattern Beta 4-7[/b] (from "MiaB") Three sections of the [i]Prometheus[/i] surround a [i]Nebula[/i] and fire at points round the hull until the shields collapse. <img src = "http://www.leenet.demon.co.uk/Images/Beta47.gif"> [b]Attack Pattern Alpha[/b] (from "MiaB") Three sections of the [i]Prometheus[/i] move into formation to attack a Warbird, volleying it with shots. Note that the [i]coup de grace[/i] is delivered by a [i]Defiant[/i]-class ship that joins the formation and fires - with a forward-mounted phaser beam. . . <img src = "http://www.leenet.demon.co.uk/Images/Alpha.gif"> [b]Evasive Manoeuvres Pattern Theta[/b] (from "TotP") The [i]Defiant[/i], under fire, does a complicated jink to avoid it. . . note that in fact it ends up almost where it was, and gets hit anyway! <img src = "http://www.leenet.demon.co.uk/Images/Theta.gif"> [b]Attack Pattern Delta[/b] (from "TCFoE") Coming into the Chin'Toka system, Sisko orders shields be reinforced, then asks for Delta and fires Quantum Torpedoes. The ship then goes into a climb before firing into the belly of a Breen warship. . . note that this may not be Delta, and that I've used a Karemman vessel in the absence of a usable Breen pic! <img src = "http://www.leenet.demon.co.uk/Images/APDelta.gif"> [b]Evasive Manouevres Pattern Delta[/b] (from "WYLB") In pursuit of a Breen vessel, the [i]Defiant[/i] gets two Jem'Hadar bugs on its tail. Sisko orders Delta, the ship does a loop (seen from the [i]Defiant[/i]'s POV, a great shot) which brings them down behind the JH, destroying one. The Breen escapes. . . <img src = "http://www.leenet.demon.co.uk/Images/Delta.gif"> Others: Pattern Omega is mentioned in "SofA," but isn't really identifiable. . . Of course, tactics used for the [i]Prometheus[/i] in multi-vector mode may not be the same as those for a single ship such as the [i]Defiant[/i], which given the nature of its armament may have some pretty specific manoeuvres itself. . . Thoughts? Any more? [/QB][/QUOTE]
