Default Re: New weapon idea for SEIV

In ST:Enterprise, the Vulcans are said to assume the existence of micro-singularities... microscopic black holes moving at extraordinary speeds that can rip through enything. If memory serves me right, I think a shuttlepod was hit - perhaps Enterprise itself too. And btw, ever heard of a "Mental Singularity Generator"?

Stardate ah, who cares? Nobody can figure these things out anyway.

Experiment #582 was a success.

you guys hear of the term "point singularity" i think their was some mention of them in STNG in romulan warp reactor power source . I have also run across it in other sources. essentially it is in most cases an artificial blackholes who's mass was in thousands or tens thousands of pounds in most cases they severed as their power source for propulsion, given their small size the gravity field did not extend very far at all. in case ships would make suicide runs at a target. the ship would be destroyed but the singularity would continue to travel along the same course and slamming into the target. maybe it could be a weapon for larger hulled ships ay fire once every 30 combat turns.
ps in most cases they represented a sizable part of a ships mass.
