I had been trying thinking up a "federation Planetary Bombardment" ship role. The best idea I had was a "transporter beam" that beamed down security squads to fight in ground combat. For the sound effect, you could hear comm chatter on the battlefield. This way they could only target military installations and it is qute cannon( except the transporter beam being visible)
Well unfortunately, I can see most of my ideas being an incompatible fit for this mod as it is shaping up (not that that is a criticism). All I can do now is sit back and wish you all the best. I'll be waiting on the final product. I had a list of abilities for some ships but such is life. Gook Luck!
the way I was seeing it you would have Federation Dominion (plus breen and cardassian) Klingon Empire (this is the most difficult)
Well I checked the link, and I have gone there before, aside from their blurb I have never heard of the Sovereign participating in the Dominion War. The Prometheus was in test bed during the war but never used in it. I agree the steamrunner should be higher up. But no other ship I know of would be sufficent
By the way nice post Iathorien but clarify a few things for me.... I've made my point on the Sovereign, but Why the Prometheus, that is not even close to the dominion war. I'm all for bumping the excelsior to capital and using the ambassador in the Cruiser slot. Good call.
[quote] Sovereign is the battleship, Galaxy is the carrier (only ship with hanger big enough for peregrines), Akira, Nebula, and Ambassador are support cap ships. This does not mean they will duplicate the same roles as the sins stock ships. They are just filling the ship slots. Id have the galaxy as support cap with colonize ability and Akira as the carrier quote
Pt.3 Federation Capital Ships. Combat ==> New Orleans Class Why?...Ive no doubt this will be a controversial choice. I do not think the Sovereign Class should be included, despite the fact I think its a great ship. It did not play a part in the dominion war. I think other ships deserve some attention like the powerful New Orleans Class. Pros - The most powerful ship no one seems to know. Cons - Not the Sovereign Carrier ==> Akira Class <b
[quote] Flak Frigate ==> Sabre Class There really doesn't need to be a "flak frigate", really, I think it'd be better to let the Sabre be a scout and remove that role entirely. [/quote] Quite Possible. I am trying to stay as close to Sins as possible, but that is a fine idea.
Pt.2 Federation Cruisers Carrier ==> Nebula Carrier Variant Why?...I can hear your cries of protest you know....anyway, The nebula class produced many variations, including a carrier version. There are only two carriers I found and the other with I will cover in a moment. Pros - Any dominion war ST mod must have a nebula....or....I'll get really, really mad. And you don't want that. Cons - The nebula really deserves to be in the capital class of ships
Well since I got no reply to a PM, I'll dish out my ideas for all to ridicule. Ever since I started playing this game, it reminded me of ST. I think the dominion war is a perfect setting for this kind of mod, and the best thing is most the mechanics are already there. Ill break this up into smaller posts, cause theres alot of it so bear with me. Ill start with the United Federation of Planets who I believe should replace the TEC as the both rely more on a powerful trade base ov
