[quote who="afdummy" reply="21" id="2024255"]You guys are right. I apologize for bringing a fight to your room. It was rude of me.

Got it. So is it possible for the explosions to deal damage to nearby ships? i dunno if its possible or not, you might have to ask Manshooter or another resident Sins Code monkey on that one. o and feel free to argue on, i'm getting a kick out of it, Its better than throwning in a sandwich into a room of hungry people.

[quote who="alryq" reply="17" id="2020172"]I'm sure this was covered, but I missed it. Surveillancemike was mentioning bigger looking ships, which got me to thinking---when a frigate dies, it explodes, when a capital ship dies it explodes bigger. When the borg cube dies.....its a very relatively small anti climatic explosion compaired to the size of the cube. Are the explosions sized according to the type of ship exploding, or just a "generic" explosion attatched to a

[quote who="Kained" reply="7" id="2018911"]I concur, i obtained the file from FileFront and the Devastator does not have 8700 shield. All Dominion elite ships use 50 fleet supply slots, which may give you any easy idea of the versioning but problems seems to affect frigates and cruisers. I also noticed that Dominion polaron beams seems to have a short range, this can be a problem as the other factions get an initilal salvo wit

[quote]Although i still dont understand the reason why the Dominions 2nd powerful/expensive ship only has 1800-2000 shield power, its a very expensive ship and only lasts a few seconds, to be 100% sure i checked the stats in the gameinfo folder and it states the same its around 1800-2000 shield power where as a galaxay for example has almost 4 times that.

[quote]Not sure if this is final but is the galor remaining as a frigate? I would of thought it would be more of a cruiser rather than a frigate. But thats just my opinion.[/quote] yes it will stay a frigate, the keldon is really the cruiser but we made it an elite so the cards would have at least one.

[quote who="dchan1936" reply="22" id="2016672"]I think that the federation was underpower in both shield and weapons, and that the pirates were too many and overpower... come on a kligon pirate has more than 3000 in shield points, and more than 140 demage per shot, and that the sheer number of pirates [/quote] i think this is pretty funny, especially since those pirate ships are unmodified ships from feds, roms and klingons.

[quote]Hey I was wondering if the cost for the Melek class ship was a mistake. It is only about 2000 credits, which does not make sense compared to the cost of all the other ships. I was also wondering why the D'deridex capital ship and other Romulan capital ships don't have beam weapons. I thought at least the D'deridex did.[/quote] i will look into it it should say 4067

[quote who="Big_Jible" reply="12" id="2013362"]I've been playing for a while today and wondered if you knew that some of the frigates required more supply than some cruisers(excelsior=21 steamrunner=18 while defiant= 19 and akira= 17). Is this how it is supposed to be? I find frigates aren't used really at all in the mid to late game. Other than that everythings great. [/quote] yep i'm wor

[quote who="greyfoxthemighty" reply="1" id="2015036"]Ok so I was trying this out earlier on and I have to say it's quite nice. However, one complaint I have is the speed at which ships are destroyed.

[quote]Last things is, well, I know I've said this before, but I still feel the Lakota is out of place as a cap ship. I know it's not my mod, not trying to claim otherwise, but it just feels wrong to see AIs cruising around with an excelsior class as their flag ship. I'm sorry, but it's a TMP era ship, get a TNG ride! Come on, AIs! I know you can do it. I just wish there was some TNG era ship cannon or otherwise that would actually look cool and be convncing as a cap ship. (sorry, know I've s

[quote] I noticed the federation's regular frigates (the mirandas, centaurs, constellations, etc) all require twice as much supply (mirandas 8, centaurs 11...if i recall correctly). While the heavy cruisers (intepid, akira all range around 14-17). Is there a reason why the lesser frigates are taking up so much pop? I was only able to get like 5 ships (including free cap) before i hit the pop wall. Also I noticed the computer didnt really bother to get the smaller frigates in the early stages.

[quote]Balance-wise, I'd say that the top-tier cap ships are a bit uber - they're both extremely strong and deal tons of lethal damage. This may be less of an issue if the first cap ship weren't free, but as is a single Romulan Warbird or Sovereign will wipe the floor with a small fleet, and tend to one-shot (or at least one-volley) ships a lot. Maybe tone down their main weapons, but keep them hard to kill - and save the one-shot kills for the special abilities when you roll'em out in .4.[/q
