Jessica Ingmann: /* Notes and References */

__NOTOC__
[[Image:Utwig_Jugger_Icon.png|right]]
The [[Utwig]] [[Jugger]] is one of the most dangerous ships in the quadrant, thanks to its unique weapons and shield systems.

==Navigation==
The Jugger is suprisingly fast for its size, although its acceleration is weak. But it is also outfitted with a set of amazingly powerful turning jets, and is capable of coming about as quickly as a vessel less than half its size.

==Armament==
===Primary===
The Jugger's main weapon is an array of six forward-facing cannons powered by an extremely efficient combat dynamo system. With it, the cannons have a virtually limitless supply of energy, and are able to fire without drawing any energy from the combat batteries. With a moderate rate of fire and damage, a Jugger can obliterate most other ships with a few salvos.

===Secondary===
The Jugger is equipped with a unique shielding system. It is capable of absorbing an almost limitless amount of punishment from both kinetic and energy-based attacks, and it in fact converts this energy for storage in its combat batteries! However, with the combat dynamo devoted to the primary weapons, it is not capable of replenishing energy on its own, so if the combat batteries run out, the shields are knocked offline. After a battle, the crew of the Jugger can feed energy from the main weapons systems into the batteries, but the process is imperfect, yielding roughly 50% of their capacity.

==Tactical Overview==
The Jugger's shields consume energy when used, but they absorb energy from enemy attacks. Therefore, a skilled Jugger pilot who uses his shields only when necessary can keep his batteries fully charged and minimize damage to his ship. A corollary to this is that one should keep an eye on "skirmisher" weapons that require more energy to shield against than will be regained by shielding against them. Such weapons can slowly bleed the batteries dry, leaving captains in a vulnerable position.

The Jugger's massive size and poor acceleration make [[gravity well]]s particularly dangerous, since at full speed they can be difficult to avoid. This, combined with the excellent turning rate of the ship and unique weapons systems, make [[pillboxing]] a wildly popular tactic.

When fighting a computer-controlled [[Kzer-Za|Ur-Quan]] [[Dreadnought]] or [[Kohr-Ah]] [[Marauder]], a most effective strategy is a full-on frontal assault. The computer makes a policy of firing as fast as it can, so on approach, absorb all the punishment they can dish out, and when their fuel tanks run dry, take a potshot or two from point-blank range. As soon as they get enough energy to fire back, they will, so keep the shields at the ready, and whittle them down to nothing with impunity. Indeed, some consider this ship to be more effective against Dreadnoughts AND Marauders than even the almighty [[Chmmr]] [[Avatar]]!

One very odd thing to note, however, is that somehow or another, a Jugger's shields '''cannot''' absorb energy from an [[Androsynth]] [[Guardian]] in its Blazer form. While the Jugger won't take damage from the [[Guardian]]'s Blazer form, it also cannot re-energize its Batteries from it. It can, however, re-energize from the molecular acid spheres the [[Guardian]] fires, just like it might from any other standard projectile. The working theory as to why a [[Guardian]]'s Blazer energies cannot be absorbed is that its energies are ''so'' unique and ''so'' violent that the Jugger simply cannot convert the energy into any usable manner.{{ref|1}}

==Notes and References==
{{note|1}} ''Note that this is simply a theory one fan came up with, story-wise. If you want a game-related technical answer though, simply put, the game reads the [[Guardian]] as still being a ship, rather than being a true projectile. The Jugger's shields can only absorb projectiles. Call it something of a glitch in the programming, I suppose. This was not fixed in [[The Ur-Quan Masters]] release.(But may be fixed in a later version if it's at all possible.)''

Hellbore Cannon

2006-01-09T13:47:49Z

Jessica Ingmann: Added an example of how much power is behind the Hellbore Cannon.

[[Image:Hellbore_cannon_module.png|right]]

When it comes to powerful weapons, the first thought of many starfarers is the [[Ur-Quan Kzer-Za|Ur-Quan]] [[Dreadnought]]'s Plasma Fusion Gun, but the '''Hellbore Cannon''' is just as powerful. It is unclear whether the [[Melnorme]] developed this weapon or if it is of [[Precursor]] origin. No matter, it is the most powerful weapon module available for [[The Captain]]'s Precursor [[The Flagship|Flagship]].(Just to give you an example of just how powerful this thing is, however, six shots can take down a [[Dreadnought]] or an [[Kohr-Ah|Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah]] [[Marauder]].)

It can be made at a cost of 6000 [[Resource units|RU]], and the technology must be purchased from the Melnorme. Be warned, however, that it takes a massive amount of energy to fire, and without enough [[Combat Dynamo]]s or [[Shiva Furnace]]s, The Flagship will be left defenseless while it waits for enough energy to recharge.

Black Spathi Squadron

Jessica Ingmann: Even more cleaning up, now that I know what the snap I'm doing. ^_^;

[[Image:BSpathi.gif|right|One fan's idea of a Black Spathi Dagger.]]
The '''Black Spathi Squadron''' is legendary band of rogue [[Spathi]] who overcame their race's natural cowardly nature and dedicated themselves to wandering space and "performing brave and hostile deeds", painting their ships black with bright red stripes in order to distinguish themselves from the normal cowardly Spathi.

No one knows if they ever actually existed, and the Spathi themselves have never mentioned them. They only crop up in rumors and urban legends, and most authorities dismiss these tales as spurious.

''The Black Spathi have a following among the Star Control fanbase. The [[Pages of Now and Forever]] contain a page on [http://www.classicgaming.com/starcontrol/bss/history.shtml Black Spathi History] (written by fans), and a ship is available in [[Aftermath]] known as the Black Spathi Stalker.''

Then call it The Spoiler Warning of Now and Forever. If you really think it's over the top, you can tone it down, but I think it gets the point accross well. [[User:Mmrnmhrm|Mmrnmhrm]] 17:30, 27 Oct 2004 (CEST)

What is the status of the data on this page? Can it all be copied over the main wikipedia due to being free license or is it different to normal wikipedia?
