' Wrote:Therefore further explanations and details are required from you:
1. Explanation how a transport vessel was able to damage your ship severely while your shields were operating at 100%.
2. Explanation how you have protected your sensitive equipment from being damaged by Asteroids, Radiation and such.
3. Your claims of the damage need to be backuped further. Please provide visual data of the outer hull, the location of the antennas and the damage caused by the ramming.
Don't get me wrong, but I need to have all the data as I can't just demand a high compensation payment from USI without sufficient rationale. Depending on the the total net worth of the damage caused I might even have to hand over this incident to the chiefs. The mentioned price of the replacement array is crucial in this case. Please contact your partners to get the quote on the price as soon as possible.
In the evidence, please look at the repair bot count displayed on the HUD of the external view. It will show
a lower count (562/600), which was attributed to using the emergency nanobot repairs to stabalize the
damaged support. The Universal Ships captain i assume chose not to employ said nanobots, probably due
to the fact that his ship is larger, and its...well its a cargo ship. The Phoenix is a research vessel, the first
priority of the ship is to house lots of scientific equipment. the C5 Liberty Transport is a Armored Transport,
so logically the main purpose in the design is armor and lots of it, while maintaining a high bulk cargo bay.
I am guessing that you have never seen a Corvo class cruiser, but as far as I can tell, the Bison is at least
1.5 times bigger than a Corvo class cruiser.
Large objects such as a ship will pass through a shield with no problem, which is what I think a major fault
in the technology. The Science teams disregard it as a priority, but I digress. Smaller asteroids can be
deflected with standard cruiser shields. The External antennas are made of resiliant alloys that can absorb a
higher ammount of radiation, but a sudden impact (such as a ship) ramming said antenna arrays is not
something you can absorb. A example. Imagine a slim piece of balsa wood is the scanner antenna. Water
won't do much damage, it can be shrugged off. apply blunt force to it, such as your hands snapping it, it will
break.
I am not a ship manufacturer, nor do I specialize in repairs.

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
