That's nothing. They drag around asteroids all the time, too.

is there any info on how large of an asteroid the Tholian ships can drag? I was watching an episode of trekyards on youtube and they said something about the Tholians being able to move a small moon with multiple ships. |

In Federation Commander, rule (6B5) says that medium asteroids range in size from 100 - 1000 meters in diameter. It is these medium asteroids that Tholians like to drag around so they can be used as web anchors for their bases.
So, that is well short of a "moon". But still pretty impressive.

I wouldn't take anything the Trekyards guys say as having any bearing on the SFU. They're good guys and make good videos, but they're not versed in this particular game-setting. Foley comes from a primarily FASA ST:STCS background and the young English gent is mostly a TNG-era guy.

ah ok.. still a lot seeing how dense an asteroid can be.

I found a can of Metallic Copper spray paint at my wife's favorite hobby shop a few years ago.
$2.98 and I've used it to base coat over 60 Tholians to date, and still no noticable weight loss to the can...
