Ability: Phaser Spinal Lance

Galaxy-type dreadnought firing Phaser Spinal Lance

Phaser Spinal Lance

Overview

The Phaser Spinal Lance is a unique forward-mounted phaser array equipped on Galaxy class Dreadnought Cruiser variants. It fires a 0.06 kilometer cylinder within a 45 degree targeting arc.

Basic Information

• Profession All
• Locale Space
• Game Description The Dreadnought Cruiser's Phaser Spinal Lance is a devastating weapon. Built into the entire structure, or "spine", of the hull, this weapon cannot be removed. The weapon fires a single massive phaser beam that is so massive and devastating that it typically pierces multiple targets - if they happened to be lined up. The Spinal Lance is not an array, and thus can only fire in a very narrow arc directly in front of the ship. However, if the saucer section is separated from the ship, the weapon can fire in multiple directions (at slight penalty to damage dealt). This massive weapon has a very long cooldown time, and is not affected by Bridge Officer powers like Overload, Fire at Will, or Subsystems Targeting.

Phaser Spinal Lance - Wide Beam

Overview

The Phaser Spinal Lance is a unique forward-mounted phaser array equipped on Galaxy class Dreadnought Cruiser variants. This variant, available when during Saucer Separation, fires a 25 degree Cone within a 45 degree targeting arc.

Basic Information

• Profession All
• Locale Space
• Game Description When the saucer is separated, the firing chamber is removed and the Lance is no longer able to fire a concentrated beam at long range. However, the weapon is still extremely deadly. With the firing chamber disengaged, the Phaser Lance fires a wide beam. The Wide Beam lacks some of the directed fire power and range, but it can now hit multiple targets.
