ooohhh pertty

umm... maybe its just me... but what is updated on that page... its weeks ago that i looked into that section, and i cant find any differences... :blink:
well beside that extra comment bout nova´s donation here, it looks the same to me

the bonuses of the avatars changed and there is a description about each avatar. you should look closer.

i like Mijural's discription god bless her

hehe yeah she's my favorite Romulan too. Admiral Sela's gotta be number 2 though. Never heard of Helev before. Where does his storyline come from?

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahy

?

The avatars look great.  I can't wait to try out each of their special ships and ablitities.   B)  

OH yeah! and i never saw that weapons thing before, (not in avitars) very nice. say, i know im not one with right to bring this up. but. is that right? Hears?
 

typo - should be years of course  :sweatdrop:  

lawl.

I can't wait to try the federation avatars.. woo!

[holmesmode]

Hey Optec, why are you using an US/UK style keyboard?
Otherwise, I couldn't explain the typo hears/years... ;)

[/holmesmode]

:D

Yeah, jsut thought you would like to know.

yes i assumed that
and keep going you fleetops guies the work you have show is and will contuin to be exampleary

(move this post to feature requests in thoughts if you want)  :P

Have you considered Armiral Arai (from SFC3) as Tal'Shiar-ish Avatar? I liked her.

Anyhow, great job!

Firstly, thanks DOCa for the kind words :D i hope u guys have a few beers on me (or maybe a few extra coffees while ur busy testing ;))

avatar page is looking great, nice to see some more specifics on the special abilities (plus ive already chosen my fav avatars for each race) :) Im assuming the reduction of costs is listed as dil/tri?

Cant wait to see some more of the unit shots and the dominion avatars :)

i also like her she took me under her wing ... or her warbirds wing

ha ha ha ha i made a funny

Some information about the Icosaeder, the Borg Recycling Center and the Sphere-Prime would be so kool!  :omg:

I have an odd request which could cause the entire Alpha, Delta and Gamma quadrant and maybe even Fluidic space to join forces and attack me: Could you delay FO and have it come out somewhere in February. :lol:

I'm studying in Spain for six months and left my cd in the Netherlands.

Wouldn't be fair if ya'll could play and I would have to wait until February.

More screenshot would be nice tough. :lol:  

*Pulls phaser* im shure you can have some one mail you the disk.  

*pulls a disruptor* or you can buy a copy for 10€ anywhere :lol:

well i am from holland but i am not giving my cd to ya.

not even a disruptor would change my mind  

*deployes small fighter* no i donte think so

SHIP DETECTED IN GRID 5438. REDIRECT CUBE C-5342 AND TACTICAL CUBE C-49234 TO GRID. ANNIHILATE VESSEL :borg:  

I have a question it may have been answered before but will the avatars have a hero ship like in Armada 1 (Locutus Cube etc etc)?  

i dont think so, but it would be a cool feature :D

nope, there aren't heros.... yet  B)  

I find the hero idea pretty dumb, theres absolutely no differance in the E-E Sovern compared to the rest of the class except a captain whos been lucky enough to durvive this far, so why would it get to be more powerful? Same with all the other heros.

for once i ahve to agree with you. though if Rank Stats is added then i think that i coudl be used well, like warp in the Enterprize-E witch has Vetran stats.  but then off corse. lol what would the stats be?  

I wouldn't mind seeing hero ships,  For example the enterprise-e would have a better hit chance against small ships the defiant having a less chance of being hit,  voyager having a limited restiance against borg ships,  the borg queen ship having either turning into a sphear if the cube is destoyed and or being able to transport to a enemy ship and take it over even with the sheilds up,  A Romulan ship being able to capture an enemy ship and disquise it as a frendly or just being able to buid one Scimitar class ship and realy make it kick butt with the thaleron wepon (takes 4+ soveren class ships to distroy it)  At the moment I can't think of any good domian/ breen/ cardasian hero ships.

But why do they become more powerful?

Becouse the crew is faster, more experirensed in the field.  

They are HEROES! Dammit! HEROES are always better! And Captain Picard is a good captain!

How can more experiance make a ship fire more Phasers or torpedos, or get 50% more shielding or a hull alot stronger then standard? Arn't there not other experianced crews on other ships? Think about it...

Lets look at it this way, at Wolf 359 a single borg ship destroyed over 40 federation star ships yet only the Enterpise survived. Why did the borg just ignor the enterprise if there was nothing special they already captured Picard.  During the invasion of Cardassia the only ship to break though was the defiant.  What made the Defiant so special? The Voyager well lets just say it survived a stroll though the heart of borg space how could that happen if it was just a noral ship with a normal crew?  All three of these ships had at least one member of the crew who was one of a kind.

LOL, their called WRITERS.  

From what I remember the hero ships where upgraded in some way or another. e.g. defiant had cloak, voyager had a whole range of stuff, and the enterprise had somthing better im sure, as it was the flagship of the federation. Besides that you could make hero ships harder to hit and also hit more often(im pretty sure this would just mean a slight modification to the system fleetops uses already). Anyhow heroships would be cool, they are slightly modified usually and also would be slightly better at firing and defending, they also might repair faster because they have the best engineers about. Anyhow ive finished ranting now, lol.

But other ships from the other galactic powers have heros no one hears about. How can you give Picard something special and not these unknowns? Half the ships in starfleet probably have crews with years of experiance just like Picards...am I getting thru to anyone?

we come back to the old problem:
are picard and his crew heros cause the camera and storry follows them or..
does the camera follow them cause they are heros
i would tend to the 2nd statement. of course there are very experienced crews in starfleet, but they ARE no heros.. that's what makes einstein more important then a super studied physic professor  ^_^  it's something supernatural. you can't describe humans with logic or formulas, like "6 years of experience, that makes you a hero!"

maybe the "hero" phenomenon does only occure in the human species. maybe there simply are no romulan or klingon heros in such a way (also kahless would say something different)..
in Flops every race will get heros if there will be heros

I'm not actually sure which way you just sided with that post Optec.

"in Flops every race will get heros if there will be heros"...Thats means?

i would just be happy for the update mod to be released to bve honest. i will be happy with the dominion..lol. any probs after this mod or things u decide could be added..create another addon..but concentrate on wot u were gonna do with this mod insted of all these new ideas which would mean it would take longer to release the bloody thing..

just an outsiders point of view.


suicide

Just because you never hear about other races heros doesnt mean theyre not there and im sure you here about the sometimes. Any how what im saying is that other races heros can be made up by the fleetops staff. Im not suggesting you give the federation all the heros (I play borg most of the time anyway). Thats what I think Optec meant aswell, If heros are in the game they will be there for all races, but theres no promise that they'll be there before and like Lord Suicide said, I just cant wait for the next "installment" hero ships can be argued about later lol.

yep. if there will be heros in any future version of fleetops every race will get them

but we are currently just working on the v3 features and not heros :)

well... an estimated release date?... cause you said the las 3 or 4 months sentences like "in a few weeks" and well... how many weeks are "a few" from your point of view? ;)

yea that's why i don't want to give release dates. i want to take all the time i need :)

cmon dnt rush the man/lady/girl.......he is doin a fine job...and we r ever so greatful...so..the nxt few weeks u say lmao.

the 'man/lady/girl' then 'he'?y not 'he/she'?

Well Optec I have faith in you and Doca to make the right decision (Subliminal Message: Heros is bad idea, all hail PREATOR DEFIANT!)

subliminal message#2: ignore sublimanil message#1 All Prais RFO) and optec we have fath in you take all the time in the world (20 years later) are you done yet?
no but seariously optec doca cdplectro and Dector we do have alot of faith in you and your work if version 3 is better then it is good but i do have one suggestion darken the Norexan color the light green is not much of a rom color

the noxter will get a model and texture redo some day. we are always up to replace our old models with new ones. many have already been replaced for v3, like Starfleet Science, the Monsoon class, the K't'inga.. but we can't do everything at once :) so the new norexan will probably not be in v3 and come at latest in v4, maybe earlier within a v3 patch

The Federation, being the "oldest" race does also have some very old models which i want to replace first

hmm. I l still like to know, what the iccosaeder can do? and the phoenix phalanx... you know Christmas happens soon (30 days?).

thats good news. so is it offishal thare will be a big pach coming out for vertion 3??  

well i have to agree with defiant. Hero unit's are a big no no for me, usually they make things very unbalance and people tend to rush things just to get the heor unit

and in real life there aren't any hero's all officers/ military personell are equal

but if it is in V4 then i will wait and see what it will be like

Well i would like to say it was me who asked if there were gonna be any hero ships but i think it is a good idea as they will add some authenticity to the star trek world and plus its only a series/film on tv it dont matter if there are heros or not in other races :detective:  

a thot for any other future version(beyond v3 ofcourse)
if u hav played frontier wars u will no wot am on about.
create a station for each race that can produce admirals...whick wen built/generated cum out in a small shuttle type craft and wen creatin a fleet send him to a ship so he can leed the fleet..perhaps am not explainin props here...but am tryin. wen he enters the ship to take control..the ship can hav increases hit points blah blah lol.....in frtontier wars the ship the admiral enters get a few changes..the size, amnount of guns and sum stuff added on it.....perhaps ud be best lookin at the game to c wot i mean..its better than just a hero ship aswell..its and admiral that u built and he can go to any ship in ur flrrt to take control.


but use prob think this is sh*te, but i liked that game..pitty the games ships and stuff were pish lol.


suicide

I'd like to see a campaign in the future fleet ops versions. I think that would make the mod awesome. Along with many other features/improvements that u guys think of.

aye same here, that would rock. maby they can through in two maps with this Version, then add the rest with patches...that would be cool. lol maby we could start a RPG that would come up with the storie.

oh i have a campign idea ok hear it is

The second dominion war:
playable sides:
dominion
Federation
Romulan
klingon
 

Evasive manouvers pattern delta 7. Modulating shields to a rotating frequency and returning fire.

Hailing FO on all frequencies: Delay!  :lol:

Make it the best d*mn mod ever...







 

As Optec mentioned on numerous occasions, the single player campaign will probably be in in the final version, if its doable of course :)


And they already have the story figured out too :P :D



And Welcome to the forums Prime Directive :D and what do you mean make the best mod ever, this is already it now they are just improving it :D :P

is despatchin a task force to retreive release date info lol
