Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

As the weeks pass the dominion fleet continues to grow. This week we want to present you the most unique dominion vessel.

[color=FF99FF]Dominion Hyperspace Artillery[/color]

Macromedia Shockwave required

The Hyperspace Artillery is a weapon of mass destruction. The main body is giant subspace-particle generator. These particles are focused through several complex forcefield chambers. Finally a micro wormwhole is generated for a few seconds to transport the charged hyperspace burst at it's target location where it will implode and generate a shockwave which is capable of destroying whole fleets and exspecially stationary objects like starbases or defence platforms.
The first Hyperspace Artillery was constructed in the Gamma Quadrant during the Dominion war. This unique weapon was ment to destroy all relevant military starbases of the Federation and it's allies in the alpha quadrant. Unfortunately the artillery never made it through the Bajoran wormwhole before it collapsed and vanished for ever.

The Hyperspace Artillery does also bring some unique elements into the gameplay. The first thing you will notice is the large attack range. Even larger then all other artillery-range units. The second thing you will notice is the delay between the moment you gave the attack order and the final impact. As soon as you order an artillery strike a marker is displayed at the target location. A countdown of 5 seconds begins which gives the targeted player a short time window to evacuate starships from the bombarding position - if he or she is fast enough.
5...4...3...2...1... and then you get a big explosion and hopefully many enemy vessels fading away in a burst of hyperspace particles.
The Hyperspace Artillery is also the only vessel which is not built from a yard but by the construction ship. It costs 12 (of total 20) credits and can be built with any avatar.

Note: The stats of this vessel may change until release

Amazing work Optec.  A great ship design and an wonderful texture.  Can't wait to try her out in v3.  

Looks great, another A+ for the FO team, watch out Steamrunner here comes the Dominion.

ahhh the powerrrrr.. and it is all mine..  :D

nice textures...

Who need those rommie artillery ships now? :)

Wow! Perfect.
But it's a pity that you can't see the explosion on these screenshots, but it must be great!

Hehe, I can picture it in my mind now, a fleet of rhienns perishes under the power of the dominion artillery ship :D  :D  :D


Need I say that I love the textures B)  

Hehe, sabo, BOOM, need I say more?

I want the Dominion now! :cry: Dominion has cool ships! I want to try them NOW!!!!!

well done, i know i should know better as i have been here over a year now but do you have any idea when it will be out optec/doca?

looking good

Great Model!

nice.. uhh.. "storyline"  ;)  

Well if sabo will be able to destroy it in 1 shot :cry:  that will suck :mad:  

Hi!

You should add any "sign" or position indicator to this ship (I'm talking about the same feature the Transwarp conduit has-> the purple ring on the minimap)
so the player has to defend and what about a siege mode like the good ol' siege tank from StarCraft.
In general: I think this will give the Fluidic and Matura Nebula a complete new "sense" in planning your strategy-> hidding in Nebulas and firing at bypassing ships or mining stations in the proximity of the nebula

Hehe, that has nothing to do with Swiss A-levels. It's Mutara, not Matura. :D

On topic:

I love the ship. Gimme! ;)

On that sabotage problem:

What about this: If that artillery is expensive and costs so many credits, wouldn't it be fair, if it indeed could be destroyed by the sabotage center, but if you do so, the sabotage center blows up in the same moment, because of an effect of this unique kind of weapon? (wormhole feedback loop ;))

@sabotage:
nope, the artillery, as many larger vessels, cannot be destroyed with a single sabotage attempt

@Hyperspace Artillery costs:
the costs are not that expensive, 800 dilithium and 800 tritanium at the moment

@Explosion Effect:
There is no picture of it cause i'm still working on it :) i really want a nice explosion for that weapon so i take a bit extra time for it. i will upload a shot as soon as it's final

BLOODY HELL

me fed admiral and im scared

Strong and cheap, I like it already

But since this is so very strong, shouldn't it be right to give the other speices bigger special ships too?

@Changeling: hups In Austria The A-Level exam is also called Matura I'm going to fix now and regardless the Sabotage Center: They going to change it anyway and i think the Center should work only on the Klingons, Federation and Romulan because, even the Tal' Shiar is unable to infiltrate a Borg ship(???) or a dominion ship(high security standards) the same applies to the Noxter(when they show up in B3) and to the new Race(as far I remeber the Cytherians

Thats what I was guessing, no worries, I don't waste mine on scouts.

every race already has some kind of "super" weapons.
Borg: Transwarp Hub
Klingon: Battle Plan, Ion Storm
Romulan: Sabotage, Spy, Cloaking Field
Federation: Starfleet Command, Spacedock
Dominion: Perimeter, Hyperspace Artillery

Whats this Dominion Perimeter?? I must have missed something.

That's a heavy defence station (similar to existing turrets) that costs credits. someone has discovered it on a past screenshot :) just check the dominion ingame gallery closly

that semms ufair sort of, a super weapon that fires from half a map away? u could build one ffast and obliterate your opponnets base, perhaps with super weak shields since it can be fired from yor base :mad:  

it can not be fired from your base. well perhaps if you play a very small map

I would love an explosion like that huge Romulan disruptor from Elite Force II produces, when in secondary fire mode.

A nice, orange glowing explosion cloud in the middle that produces a huge shockwave. Plain and effective.

However, you always surprise us with effects that are more breath-taking than one could image. So I'm sure you'll get it right. :D

At first I wanted to write Swiss and Austrian, but I wasn't so sure about it.

After all, I have Abitur, that's enough for me. ;)

Whats the matter Mighty rom, u scared???? :P  :P  :P  

Some more Hyperspace Artillery Shots:

A Federation task force has destroyed our defences on an expansion and tries to destroy the mining station. We cannot tolerate that, can we?

Guess what happens here in three seconds

The moment of impact

The first federation vessels begin to explode in the Hyperspace implosion. So much about destroying mining stations

That explosion is beautiful.  It is the light which will bring the Dominion into the game.   :lol:
I love the target.  

Hell yeah, thats the big bang, me like that :D  

i wonder what kind of effect it has on stations... would they be just damaged or totally destroyed?

@ Optec:

whas the rest of the fed fleet destroyed aswell?  

That's a bang! ;)

But, could you add a circular shockwave perhaps?
That way it would look even more powerful. :)

stations get damaged, not destroyed
here already is some kind of shockwave, you just can't see that on these shots

thayt is so unfaIR SINCE THEY COULD JUST BUILD A SMALL OT POST NEAR YOUR BASE ND DESTROY YOUR OPPONENT, THIER IS NO STATEGY AND IM NOT SCARED. U SHOULD BE WITH 3 RACES ALL AGAINST U! :lol: WE NEED A GAME WITH 1 REPRESENTITIVE FROM EACH CLAN ALLIE THEMSELFS ACCORDING TO OUR ALLIANCES NOW, 3VS1 IT WOULD BE I BELIVE! muhahahahahaha! :lol:  :D  B)  :o  ^_^  :huh:  :P  

YELLING S MY WAY OF DEALING WITH FEAR :sweatdrop:  

u both should check out for a new keyboard, cause i think YOUR CAPSLOCK GOT A FAILURE :P -_-

I DONT CARE ! I ONLY CARE A BUT BUILD 50,000 SABO ENTRES TO KILL THOSE THINGS!

Who both??

Hehe, so u are scared :P


Oh and about that 3vs1 thing, u are forgeting to count the members. 3 of you have only 2 members more :lol:  :D  :lol:  

um wot do u mean? there r more roms than anyone else+ think wot happens whenour borgaliies assimilate one of those MUHAHAHAHA! atualy its 4vs1 with da klings

That looks awesome, reminds me of C&C Generals special weapon toggle thingy.

I'm sure it wont be too unbalanced, can't really make it any worse then what the Klingons got.

Well it shouldnt be  unbalanced
U still have 5sec to remove your ships and plus it doesnt do all that much damage anyway

take your time. the more time you take the beter program we will take lol.

Basically a long range Borta without the lasting nebula effects.

i love the new ship.  :D hi. i am mark. i just joined. i just want to say i love the fleet ops patch. it is the best invention sence the toilet. :mellow: lol.

someone help me add a pic and neat quote to my message posts.  please!!!!   I'M DESPERATE. THEY'RE SO KOOL.  yes i spell kool with a 'k'. what . . . .now.  :lol:  B)  

it looks like the midal cood drop a whay and becum its own ship is it gona do that?

basicly click the add repliy butin on the botom right. that will give you 2 difeant whays to add picher.

1) you can add a picher all redy on a server

2)if you do not have a server handy you can click browse butin at the botam and just slect on on you had to up lade to your post.

to make a perminet picher on all your post can be dun by clicking my controle at the top right and on the left you will see Edit Signature click it than click img abve than tipe the absulute url to the image on a nuther server.

um, wot he said :sweatdrop:  

Hi mark, i'm DEFIANT and if you don't cross me we will get along juuust fine. Just hola if you didn't quite understand ewm90 and I give clearer instructions.

HOLA,! HOLA,! :mellow:  :huh:  ^_^  

Hello, me new here too, but I think we might be gettin off subject.

On subject--Take your time on it and make it the BEST DAMNED SHIP THIS SIDE OF THE MILKY WAY!!!!

lol here here!!!

@Changeling: OFF TOPIC:::
So jetzt bin ich leicht verwirrt: Gibts in da Schweiz Abitur und Matura oder bist aus good old Germany. In Ösi-Land ist die Matura gleichwertig mit dem Abitur in Deutschland.

For the rest IGNORE it!

Lovely explosion of the artillary and since Optec said, Buidlings are only damaged not destroyed, this isn't going to be a long range BortaS attack.

@Smoerebroed
pls use pm or im for user to user discussion, especially if it is in another languange. danke ;)

No worries, we won't get anything unbalanced or unuseful into the mod, (atleast we hope so ;)) every ship has it strenghts and weaknesses so does this vessel

DOCa Cola

which would be slow speed right?

yep and reload time. and the little "you can only have one" stuff :)

can it b assimilated esily?

ot has 550 crew so, no

with 16 cubes though? :devil:  

Well if u have 16 cubes, you shouldnt worry about this artillery ^_^ , thats at least what I think

16 chelars all armed with radiation missle :D  :lol: BAM DERILICT HPERSPACEBOMBER MUHAHAHA!(IM SCARED)

the cehlear doesn't have the radiation missle.. that's the eresis

yea well its realy kinda hard to tell, couldnt thy be a little more different

the cehlear is the one which looks impressive and the eresis is the one which looks fast :)

i rely cant tell the difference
GOOD THING THEY GOT DIFFERENT AVATARS! :D  

Can you make a toggle to make everything buildable instead of using avatars?

thats basicaly free tech o ly it need to have saecial weapons without reseach

i agree with defiant.  There needs to be a free tech option.  And mabee an unlimited 100 credit option, for strange players like me who enjoy mass destruction.  :D  :sweatdrop:  :shifty:  

yes, yesWE WANT FREE TECH!

Now I think thats way too much but might be nice for large scale comp battles.

R u kidding we need that

he he. Yes WE MUST HAVE MASS DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!


by the way, i put a pic on my message screen but it is in the bottom. i want it with my name and i don't want it to say newbie anymore.

SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! . . . . . . . . please.

second question.    why is the clock on the message board off by 6 hours?

get 50 posts and u can change it :)
and thats GMT time :lol:  

So many questions, go back into your preferances and look around.

lol. i only have 6 post, and i changed it anyways.  weird huh? ^_^  

im not sure wot u mean -_-  

:huh: I don't know either.

this is going nowhere
how do i get a pic in my sig?

Well you either upload one to some server or you take the picture address and in your preferances/signature click on IMG and insert the picture address.

to do what PREATOR DEFIANT definat is saying the picher need to be on a server on the web.

win you click this it will lode the butan only. http://forum.fleetops.net/style_images/flop/t_qr.gif (http://forum.fleetops.net/style_images/flop/t_qr.gif)

I actually have a question, where do the rest of you upload your picture to? I mean the ones you custom make that arnt already on a server.

lol i use my site for avtras

tha is realy kinda sad :blink: releasing it when the secind version is mosly dione
makes them more money :sweatdrop:  

did i mentaion how mush i love fleet ops.   :D

and ninjas  :ph34r:  muhahaha.  :lol:  

wots  ninjas gotta do with fleet os or star trek or dominion artillery?

Absolutly nothin'. Unless their are Jem Hadar ninjas aboard the new ship.

i c
welloff to work
*pulls outbloody axe*
*sings into distnce* a killing i wil go, a killing i wil go, hi ho the cherio a killing i wil go

:lol: haha!

what,?so what im a phsycopathic 13 year old axe murderer, who cares? :huh:  

NOT ME!!! But the police do.

then dont tell them unless u want an axe in tour brain

Right On!!!!!                        Jem' hadar     ninjas            muhahahah :ph34r:  :lol:  :D  :sweatdrop:  :mellow:  

*Ninja stalks a Federation soldier down a long corridor on a Federation ship. The soldier turns around but sees nothing, and continues to walk. The Ninja pulls out his Ninja stars, about ready to throw, then the soldier turns around and stuns him with a Phaser, then kicks the Ninjas unconsious ass before reporting the incident.*

Jem' hadar ninjas sawds strage its werd be cuss the Jem' hadar are bolky strong and ungrase full.

for me its like thinkin of a Jem' hadar ballerina.

yess jem hadar are like borg, hey ovrren run u
(he siege of AR551or somthing like that :sweatdrop: )

True true. :hmmm: What about changeling ninjas?  

and i thot i was werd ninjas jem hadar borg. next ypu wll say borg mades.

FINE!!!!!!   If i can't have jem hadar ninjas then i will have changeling ninjas.  :lol:  B)  

pff all pityfull warriors, FEAR my Q warrior!!!! MAHAHAHAHAHA :ph34r:  :lol:  

well BTT please... ^_^

Damn Q. I hate all powerful beings.  Q can suck my balls.   :lol:  :sweatdrop:  :shifty:  

:o  :omg: WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT Q???? :mad:  

I belive he said he can suck his balls :P  

ha ha you said balls :lol:  

well i am god so beet you all.

Yes. . . . . Q can suck my balls.
lol. i said balls again.  :lol:  ^_^  

Q ROCKS!!!! HE CAN KILL YOU ALL!!!!!!!!

I have a better idea. the nexy time Q come, we put him in sub-demention temporal force field. Even he won't be able to get through that. Then after we have him trapped, we shot the hell out of him for hours on end. Sence he can't escape and he is immortal, he will just be shot till we deside to stop. But it's not over yet. Then We shock him, flood the chamber with radiation, start a plasma fire in the chamber, put the warp plasma in the chanber, and last but not least  :sweatdrop:  we evacuate the ship with him still on and blow up the warp core. He will spiral out of control into the nearest sun, while still in the chamber, where he will sit and be burned alive till the sun goes super nova.  The nit will form a black hole and crush Q to the size of a sub-atomic particle, where he will be forced to remain for all eternity.                   MUHAHAHAHAH  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :rolleyes:



i hope you enjoyed the story. it took a long time to come up with that bull sh*t, and i am very proud of it. lol. :D  

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
  TAKE THAT   Q :lol:    :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:   :lol: HOW YA LIKE THAT CAP DEFIANT :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  

Actually that story was very good. BUT Q STILL ROCKS EVEN IF YA CAN BEAT 'EM NOW!!!!! :P  

there is one flaw, q likes t enter unanounced,
pop eeek!
WO R U!?
EEK!
GO AWAY! IM NAKED :lol:  

thank you about the sig doca

LOL

right i go away for a few days and all hell is broke out, i think i will go away more often!

We are the borg, we will assimilate the artillerly vessel and use our transwarp conduits to place it into posistion. Then we destroy u all and assimilate the wreckage. The universe shall fall.

LOL, that'll be my strategy for fleet ops 3, raise up an army of cubes and assimilate dominion construction ships and/or artillery vessels. The borg will be unstopable.

Anyways, great work on the ship, and the explosion

yes. The borg shall rule the universe AND fluidic space.

As for the Q problem, it's simple.   just put a microscopic trans-dimentional temporal tracking devise on him. :D

i have way too much time on my hands.      lol. i should work for the startrek writers.  :rolleyes:  

LOL dude, your strategy will fail, the Jem'Hadar cannot be assimilated :P  :P  :P  

Sure they can, but the collective would suffer from hive mind degradation caused by ketracel white usage and addiction

i do have a serious question though. Why did you take out the planets and colonization in fleet ops. the borg colinization ships were the shiz.

Nope they cant be assimilated, have u ever seen an assimilated Jem'Hadar?? :huh:
They rather die than be assimilated by the collective. :P  

besides, i wonder if teh borg can assimulate a founder.

i guess that would be like assimulating water

i sher thay can borg space and dom space are neer ech uther i am sprised the dom are as strong as thay are i am sher thay fite.

Of course the Borg can assimilate the Jem'Hadar, they could make an implant which generates Ketrecel White, plus Borg take their victims by suprise sometimes.

win one is asimalted the bog teck probly makes it so thay dont need white eny more

That too.

ewm not another sucky sig. who is that??

Some dumb democrat anti-bush picture, apparently bush was assimilated and saying 'resistance is futile' refering to what the democrats believe as imperialism when we freed iraq. Those poor basterds.

I take it u like Bush ^_^  

that ship is sweet

how whood do a thing like that?

Well apparently the democrats would.

those eval dimacrats all thay wont to do is hert us. thay vote for tarists. eval.

No the founders can't be assimilated. they they have no blood streame for the nanites.

 :D   i so smart
 

You don't need nanites necessarily.

i really REALLY can't spell.  :shifty:  :sweatdrop:  

we know what he ment. but the naites move by tham selves.

maby thays whay thay wher made like that to resite the borg. how knows

You don't have to rely on nanites to assimilate someone, i'm sure the Borg have other ways.

ok smart ass. if the borg have other ways, make up some bull sh*t story like i did to explaine. B)  

ya i whood like to know to?

Damn right i'm a smart ass, it's like this, the Borg will adapt to their physiology and will asimilate them. I'm not too sure how but they can use more then just nanites.

umm do you self medicate?

Me? I'm perfectly sane but I have a Defiant nature...where my name comes from.

here. sence you can't make up stories, i will. Borg from 400 years in the future will use the new temporal transwarp technology to go into the past and give the current borg a technology boust. :omg: The new nanies will be biological nanites with technological 'packs' to transform the biological cells in the founders.  this means that a blood streame is no longer needed and any species can be assimilated from any point on the body.  the new super biological nanites will be inperviouse to any cells from the host and will even be able to assimilate species 8472.  the borg will be invincible.  :P That's how you write a story.  ^_^  

I haven't made any storys...I was making explanations,

alright! weapon of mass destruction! very dominion like. it'll be a blast for an artillary guy like me. i like to pound large, stationary targets to dust before sweeping in with me fleet. i doubt there will be anything left for the fleet to shoot at after this thing comes through.  :devil:  

Well basically you only get a few and it dosen't have a large blast radius, I think the other sides still have a chance.

When is Beta 3 coming out? I can't stop thinking of all the beautiful new weapons of mass destruction!

ya i cant wht to for weapons of mass destruction to come out to bush i meen fleetops will be grate.

quess what???i can block all your stupid sigs now!!!i might be able to block avatars too!!!

thay bother you?

insted why not tell me to stop whod be easer. lol

i can keep banning your sigs

Like we care...as long as ours looks nice and dosen't show what clans your at war or peace with...Like we care since the clans are falling apart anyway.

go for it have fun.

lol. The Romulan Star Empire suck big hairy balls anyways.  ^_^  

Well the RFO rebels do, the rest of us are nice and pointy eared.

well, when park one of these outside of an enemy base and surrond the base to make no one escapes, all you need is the one. that's what i do as a Romulan albeit with many more artillery ships. plus, you can always edit the game for more credits--not that i'd do that :-)

wot if they gottachyon and blow u upbefore u uncloak? :lol:  :P  

yes, and thats the first thing - checking my own base for cloaked intruders ;)

i meant his sig

me too ;)

the worst thibng on defend is a rom con building a pesky basein your corner of your base

Good thing starbases have tach scans.

ya but some ppl reseach later

Then they will die, sadly :shifty:  

NOT WITH A FLEET OF ROMULAN RHIENEN!

Back to topic.

Again nice model and great addition to The Dominion.  
It will be very interesting to play against this ship. :D  

Oh yes it will, will it have any other weapons, like poleron beam to have some sort of defense against light ships?

I have one question, is that marker that displays seconds until explosion displayed to all players or just to player who commands that ship and he's allies?

lol. your a KLINGON bird of prey :P  ^_^  

I think it wont have any other weapons, and that marker is shown to all the players so they can move their ships b4 they go booom

then i hope its like the messages like the green "running out of ressources" or something like that... cause when the ship is marked that way i think of, it would be devastating for the ship itself.... :D

could u make the ships in there rangeof the blast glow or something

i'm with him.  making the ships in the blast range glow is one of the best idea's i've heard yet.
 

that would be cool

yes i like

a nise splash damage shock wave is incorpated

i wanted

to set

the  

consecutive post

record.  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  

If this was DS9, you would be sitting in a nice arrest cell now. :D

PS: Making all vessels and buildings within the artillery's damage radius glow (like with the Klingon station's battle mode etc.) is a very good idea. I support it! :)

i support it aswell

me2 ^_^  

I thought maybe make them glow and put a purple circle around the units like you would use in C&C generals and have a symbol for the Dominion in center.

hm... maybe just sh*t on it... i want that version... f*** that eyecandy :lol:

:lol:  a dimond with no shine is not a dimond at all

well... actually, a raw diamond won´t shine at all ;)
and this is still a beta... so... u get the point? :D

SCHOOL SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!      
i start tomarow.  :mad:  :(  :cry:  

i more post till we get to 200.

yay. i get the 200th post. :D  ^_^  

i want to see a 3D model of the borg pyrimid :rolleyes:  

I have to know, when did the worm hole colapse for ever?

well for ever is relative  :blush:  while these evil spirit which possesed dukat closed it the dominion thought it is closed for ever now. later, after the treaty with the Federation was signed they put the artillery in a yard and set it on standby :) you never know when you need it again

by the way, Borg_Overlord, no more unnecessary and consecutive posts pls

school dose suck i start in 4 days :cry: man break is not as long as it used to be

I HATE SCHOOL!!!! I DON'T WANNA GO TO EIGHTH GRADE!!! :cry: Even though I'm the oldest in my school now.  

WHOAH!!! That is alot of consecutive posting.

Sure is.

Better put a stop to it, *grabs AK-74*

YIPES!!! :omg:  :o Where's my phaser?

I have it  :devil:  

Give it here or we'll all die!!! :cry: And at the hands of the supierior defiant!!! :cry:  :cry:  

I wouldn't hurt anyone who dosen't already deserve a beatin.

WHAT DID I DO???? :mad: I REALLY NEED TO GET A PHASER NOW!!!! :sweatdrop:  

hm, well, actually, because u and borg are the reason why this thread is much more off topic as i could imagine... ^_^

And thats bad? WE ARE 15 FREAKIN' PAGES INTO THIS TOPIC!!!!! Don't ya think we might get off topic?

Nope  :P  

:rolleyes:  

:lol:

i think this will be closed soon :P  

NOOOOOOO!!! Don't close it doca! Please! :(  

we have said all we can about the topic.  we have to say something off topic because there is nothing left to say about the topic.  :rolleyes:  

i agree, stay on topic or MOVE thred

Ok, uhhhh, it's a nice lookin ship.

Can't wait for Dominion, I bet they gonna be more popular then roms with this new ship.

as long as there is no scimitar i think u´r right... ;)

Yeah me2  ^_^  

I'd love me some scimitar if I could get it, Tavara with have to suffice for now.

yea, me too, its the coolest romship ever, and i still dont like that tavara... so i made my decision clear enough :D

Well, what would be cool was if we mated the Scimitar with the Artillery ship? :hmmm:  

but the Scimitar is not romulan so make it a non payer race.

reman were romulan slaves, and its build under romulan ops, its ship parts are romulan, so i think it could be called a romulan ship :P :D

Yeah it's basically Romulan, of course this can be desputed.

so if i use fed parts to bild a ship will my ship be fedarshon?

Not exaclty, but the Remans are members of the Romulan Empire, so it's possible to have Reman warbirds.

a ship is only of that race if it was built specifically be that race or if another race was hired to build the ship for tht race. -_-  

or it could be created by a ship under the jurisdiction and/or dominion of that race.
i forgot to say that before.  ^_^  

race* sorry. race, not ship. :sweatdrop:  

Yepper! ^_^  Oh, and might I suggest using the edit button?

Well I might be wrong but didnt optec said that schimitar will be like a merchendary in v4, so everyone could hire it  B)


As I said I could be wrong :(  

Yeah but the thought of that seems kinda dumb...the only merc ships should be like Orion pirate looking ships and other mafia types from the star trek universe.

Hopefully Optec will throw in something more realistic.

mayby a reman saryard thats nonbuildable that builds spcl shis including scimitar, like on defend that spcl fed yard
that would be cool, and what about cloaking stations :blink:  

hm, why shouldn't be there mercenaries of other races, too? I don't see a point in klingon or romulan culture why they shoudln't have mercenaries.
The hireable mercenaries can also be seen as friendly units from another race which support you. Ingame they won't be called mercenaries but "hired neutral vessels".

Sounds good. 'Hired neutral ships' :hmmm: Has a good ring to it.

na, call em MERC SHIPS :lol:  

aww orions I loved them in in sfc orion pirats they have such cool ships optic I want orions :D  oh and I suggest a remun avatar where it is built by avatar button i would like to see hero ships in version 3 or 4 that woyuld ad a realistic sense to the game I also suggest a rom only 2 cred minstation for planets increases diluthem and rom could have 2 race crew things and a min station increases the remun amounts sowly...very slowly

so like it takes 30 min to get 2 scimitars with spcl derilicter ability which makes enemy ships derilicts n a certain range MUHAHAHAHA

a simater is built free with the remun avater no more then one

to bad, my dreams of scimitar fleets r gone :cry: WHAAAAAAA!!!

That would suck badly if u could build fleets of them and plus that way a ship looses its charm  B)

When I think about the schimitar I think of a lone hunter and not like a whole fleets :)  

with fleets of attak ships in it yes

what???

Well, what I think he means is that you can send out squadrons of Scropian attack ships from the Scimitar.

the simater shood have figheters

Scorpian fighters...mmm

:hmmm:  yes?

If you've seen Nemesis, then you should already know that the Scimitar has fighters.

but i didnt see them in the movie if i remember right..

Remeber, Picard and Data escaped the Scimitar using one of those.  

From the movie. And it's "Scorpion", not "Scorpian".

Nice picture.

Emmm u didnt saw them in action in nemesis, well u saw one that picard and data used, but not more. And plus every big ships has some fighters on it :)

well yea, now i remember that lil ship... but every big got fighters? i dont believe it... where are the fighters on a warbird, neghvar or souvereign? :lol:

do you know how expensive fighters are???!!! :omg:  

thay are only $99,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 + $1 taxs

:lol: LOL. But don't forget that the Reman mines mined a lot of the metal that was used in constructing the Romulan fleets.

well thats an addon bumps up the price.

yep yes it is

Well they all have shuttels, basically the same thing :D  

shuttel-1 phaser
fighter-4 phaser 1 photon 2 puls phaser.

Scorpian class attack fighters have a single Disruptor.

Yeah why are u laying Cairo???  :lol:  :D  :P  

The problems with fighters in startrek are, that they are (or at least were) completely useless.
The advantage of fighters are their relatively high speed and the ability to evade weapon fire during combat. But Star Trek weapon technology is so adcanced (at least in TNG) that they nearly always hit the target. A photon torpedo is able to correct it's course completely so you just would have to fire one torpedo on a fighter and that's the fighter :) that's why there are no small fighters or similar stuff in TNG

In the DS9 action scenes they started to make torpedos don't hit their target and weapons missing cause that looks good. and bang, you have fighters since then :) you can argue about the usefullnes of them but at least they seem to take - a small - role in startrek now.

Yep. Sooooo, CAN YOU MAKE FIGHTERS FOR THE BIG SHIPS????? :D  ^_^  

An Federation avatar that comes with a fighter carrier is already in 3.0 as far as I am informed.

COOLIO!!! :)  

Yup avalon class if I am not mistaking, look at the news it has to be there somewhere ;)  

Yep, the avalon class comes with attack fighters

^_^ Nice! :)  

well geting back to fleetops verson 3:

i am geting the game mod will be out wen all the dom pichers are out i hae seen 3 ships so you have lots more to do. and i rite?

and i think its save to say fleet ofs is not a mod but an add on or expachon.

an addon adds 1 race, or some ships. expansions add more missions, some ships....mods are any addon, total conversion, or expansion. a total conversion changes/adds all new races, with all new textures.  

well what about an upgrade? well its gona have new mishons one of thes years it mite be premucher but i will start caling it an exspaction.

When is 3.0 expected to be released?  I have combed through this entire site and there is no mention of a release date.  Does anyone have one?

There is none, expect half a month, a little more, just a guess.

yea, like the last weeks "half a month/month".. like most ppl say about release dates "its done, when its done"... well i dont like it as well, but thats the way it is.

U know they way ID does their games, its done when its done ;)  

Yeah, but it's never done. Always a few bugs. BUT WHEN IS IT GONNA BE RELEASED ???!!!

but i dont want to wait 6 years for the third title like doom :lol:

dont wory it will be 12 so relacks.

wel at lest i am sher 100% it will be out be for 3004. just kiding

I perfer to give people relistic dates instead of pissing them off with the old 'when it's done, it's done.'

Relax I dont think it'll be 3 years ;)

Optec said on chat that he needs to complete dominion ships, so I'll expect 3.0 for about 2-3 weeks.

YEAH!!!! :D SOON!!!! WHOOPIE!!! WHATS WRONG WITH MY CAPS LOCK??? :lol:  

this need to get to 300 posts.

I agree, nothing more important than the Dominion weapon of mass destruction B)  

what about the avatars???HAHA YOU DONT GET THEM YET HAHA

But we will get them in time  :P  

We must be patient, the avatars will come out at the same time as the weapon of mass destruction! :)  

hehe indeed B)
