Re: Drow Question

Well one big disadvantage for this in battle would be that they could not
use thier weapons on the ships in the prime because they are in the boarder
eitheral. Of course if another ship phased then they could fight each other.

Has anyone even considered something along the lines of a phase-cloak
system similar to the Romulans' phase cloaking device?  One possibility may
be that the ships could phase into the Border Ethereal, pass through the
surface without the need of any kind of tunnel or hangar and then phase back
to the Prime.  Mind you, severe limitations would be needed to prevent its
use in battle and keep its use limited to passing through the surface (maybe
even an item that gives them the phase ability with a maximum of 2 charges
and can only be charged in the Underdark).  But, it would take care of the
security problem.
