only the zodiac i like because it looks like a mirande, others are crap or justt look loki runabouts

i think the Zodiac-class desine mite be fack. i like the Challenger-class.

I truly hate with a passion the design with and overhead and under head warp neucels.  i rely like the zodiac aswell though

dido

Zodiac is pretty cool...I still wanna see the promethus added into flops ;)

i want to see the defiant stronger.  its too week needs photons or real phasers

No one seems to realize that all these changes of throwing massive overpowering armraments onto ships unbalances the game. They are doing an amaaizngly close to canon job (in fact I love it...SAVE THAT FED DREADNOUGHT...eww) and if we make the defiant uber, someone will insist the cube needs more firepower, then someone will go "Why don't ships have 12 phaser arrays like in the show" and then someone will inquire as to why all the ships don't have torpedoes, either way its just super silly and we can leave it like it is =].

well, why dont they have 12 phaser arrays and topredoes.  just make them do less damage

The game cannot properly represent the restricted arcs of some ships, and it would be very time consuming to add all the hardpoints and so forth. They game also can't make amends of the limited amount of torpedoes a ship has (Even if they are upwards of 200). As well as the shuttles on ships, they helped in battles. It also cannot account for skilled crews vs unskilled crews. So the game as it is with the fire rates that it has (which if they ship was in combat could likely represent the firing rate of phasers) is just fine. Are you sure you wouldn't rather play Star Fleet Command Three?

well...no the defiant is horribly underpowered...it just needs stronger hull and sheilds, it's crap right now :P it depends hugely on that weapons disabling thing otherwise it's bantha fodder...

The game is not "so cannon" have you been playing the same game? The romulans can nuke ships from across the map, the Tavara takes down any borg ship 1 on 1...The cube is supposed to be a threat, even more so to the romulans who aren't the strongest power in the galaxy...The Interceptors with their transwarp are deadly, a group of 5+ can beat a warbird, soveriegn, and a negvar...it's a joke to say that, the game doesn't become equalized because there are god ship(s) on every race, it becomes equalized when there are no godly ships...

SFCIII wasn't a great game, plain and simple, besides the horrific fact it was two dimensional...The starbases were disproportionate to the ships, the glows in game were completely unrealistic, and the only real great thing about it was the ability to name a ship whatever you want, and to totally customize the ship systems...

I like the game, however I wouldn't give up fleet ops to play it, it's not nearly as good, and wanting to have more realistic weapons in game is not something to scoff at...the games aren't ment to be like star trek, if they were, a galaxy would take one hit and everything would shut off :P The ships were ment to last a little longer, but there is no reason they can't portray a realistic strength...

wow. you know that realy put it in perspective guys.  thanks

i agree with the balancing issue but i do agree the defiant is alittle weak but then again it is a small ship so we cant complain

the only thing im annoyed about is the speed of the warbird , sovvy and negvar they are sooo slow ???


and tavara cant beat all cubes B)

fusion cube beats it all the time

thats because the fusion cube is actualy 8 cubes :P  

thats not why its just the **** sheild removing torp and regeneration lol all cubes should be like that  

Personaly, I prefer the comand cube.  The cutting beam rocks! :woot:  :woot:  :assimilate:  :assimilate:  

i'd have to side with 4 of 11 on that

the ship that can hold its own against most others is the one with 50. damage(klingon, forgot name)

:lol:

No way, all cubes with sheild killing torps would be too godly :P for that cube's power though, it should be 8 normal cubes not 8 scout cubes :P

The defiant is a small ship yes, but it's also a warship, size doesn't always mean power...it can mean firepower, because obviously a larger ship can store more torpedos, but the defiant was still a tough little ship...I agree that it should have a cloaking device, but it should use somthing like 25-50 special energy...so it would be like able to come out of cloak and disable your weps, so you can't attack (that would be too evil) :lol:

that would be the Cho'naQ class

yeah the Cho'naQ Class rocks *** and if you have a fleet of it it can bring down a cube easily

be careful to supplement that fleet with more... combat worthy ships, else they'll just all go boom

You should just send a fleet of 16 of them, set them on condition green, fire them at diffrent times, so you don't waste all the ammo, you fire one at a time at the cube until it dies, that's what I did with them.

i'd use some vorchas to draw fire away from them. but i don't really use the klingons.

in my opinion the best way to defet a cube is with many fast small ships like a bop
a shrike the Difiant(of corse) Hideki a bug ship so no and so forth small ships.

a big swarm of all thies little ships

well lets see 16x50 ==800 hit points at once lol. that would take out most ships except for fusions lol

the command cube is useless unless you have alot of ships covering it because when it comes under attack it goes boom waaaay to fast

the best thing to do is to use fusion cubes if u must have the command cube mix them up with fusions and scout cubes and some assims and if u want adaptors and use tech assim on the assimilators so u have so much crew drain its amazing but dont use that against borg too many crew:D

i think that 8 scout cubes have more firepower than 1 fusion lol

no way, sheild killing torps pwn

they sure do. ^_^  

have to shoot em 8 times though!!!!

I used to use the Klingons all the time.  That is, until an attempt to give the BortaS class another torpedo ended up making it completely unbuildable.  :sweatdrop:
