The Ultimate Verbotten Thread!

You get hamsters.

It's not completely verbotten yet...
We haven't had any fanfic recommendations...
And no, I'm not gonna give any, I learned my lesson several years ago.

Not to be nitpicky, but isn't it technically verboten?

Better yet, let's make that lots of boarding torpedoes guided by Apollo.

You know, if we equip the frigate with a keyhole system we'd just about have the perfect weapons system.

Personally, the though of powered armored Hamster Marines equipped with grav lances in almost too terrifying to contemplate. I'm sure any foe confronted with such an overpowering force would simply strike their wedges and surrender immediately.

Oh the horror of it all.

We could make the frigate a pod frigate launching pods filled with boarding torpedos! And while we're at it, we could equip the pods with drives.
Also, can we redesign impeller rings to double as hamster wheels?

No, NO, NO!!

The tip, top secret of this frigate armed with a spinal mount gravity lance is that instead of having a fusion reactor which requires so much bunker age it is powered by phased array hamster wheels.

Perhaps KZT would be kind enough to calculate the power density of hamsters and the energy density of hamster chow to determine the peak accelleration and endurance of this frigate.

And powered by hamsterwheels disguising the ships as a travelling circus.



Oh goodness this thread is hilarious.

It is, but verbotten is more funny for me at least since botten translates as bottom...

You forgot the hamsters ... other than that, that's the best I've seen so far

Well, ok I like this one too.

Of course, I think we need to work in BB's as valid capital ships in here somewhere.

Maybe a Medusan crewed BB pod layer with it's drive nodes replaced by powered by high energy hamster wheels (H-nodes) wherein the pods are actually stealthed frigates crewed by tree-cats that lay pods carrying Apollo controlled boarding torpedoes filled with grav lance armed hamsters in powered armor.

All of this of course being the central theme of an ongoing fanfic, click here for the link.

Ok, now we're getting into truly terrifying territory.

If this becomes more horrifying, the Honorverse will surely implode.

Nah, mind controlled hamsters via our furry 6 footed, well 4 footed and 2 handed, treecat friends riding mini energy torpedoes to their final destinations based from hyper capable RD's.

Damn!

I forgot to include spinal mount energy torpedo launchers mounted coaxially with the gravity lance.

Will need more hamster wheels to power it.

Treecats have four hands and two feet. They have true hands, hand feet and true feet.
