Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

Heyho
In addition to normal research, subsystem upgrades and building up your fleet there is now a new possibility to spend your resources on!
Always hated it that a fleet of small units toasted your command base while you fought in a deep space war? Ever got rushed by nasty Klingons before you even got your yards ready? Then here is a solution for you!

You will be able to improve the offense and defense of your starbase in v3 with two upgrades. All races share the same upgrades to make it fair.

Improve the weapon systems of your starbase to deal increased ammounts of damage with every shot
Level 1:  +20 Offensive Value
Level 2:  +40 Offensive Value


(http://www.fleetops.net/images/newspost_images/shieldupgrade.gif)
Power up the defense of your starbase to make it less vulnerable to enemy fire
Level 1:  +40 Defensive Value
Level 2:  +80 Defensive Value

Happy upgrading!

*mr burns' voice* "Excellent"

no more pesky sneak attacks by a small number of destroyers :sweatdrop:

This is excellent.  ^-^

What makes this really interesting is because it's just like the show, or should I say DS9. It started off with minimal defenses (because the Cardassians trashed the place before leaving), and had trouble fending off a few Galors. Then it was repaired so that it was a bit more worthy of a space station, and if I recall correctly it's weapons were again significantly upgraded not long before the Klingon fleet attacked it (or just after the Odyssey was destroyed?). Should be fun!

Awesome  :thumbsup: I can't wait to see this in use (finally no more really embaressing sneak attacks)
...and what's that third option I see after the upgrades :shifty:

Thats the Tachyon Scan ability as usual :)

WOW. So, when u were saying like, offensive value up by twenty, then forty, is it stacking, or is that the net amount? Either way... i don't have words for my excitement... great job.

thats the final bonus amount, so each upgrade increases the attributes by 20 offensive, to a total of 40 on level2 :)

Awww shucks :blush:
I was hoping that each starbase might get some race specific special weapon... Borg: sends out nanites to ensnare nearby ships... Romulans: phase weapon..... :rolleyes:

That would be great, but I think that should be for a latter version.

Every time I'm getting more and more used to that awesomeness....

Best news in a long time.

Well... only news in a long time. :P

I'm getting more and more used to a release date in 2008

<.<
>.>

Hurry guys StarCraft 2 comes 2009!

2009?  That long?   :pinch:

Wow I just saw this god you guys.

I am just glad to have know you.

...on a somewhat related note, you sure that Starcraft II comes out in 2009... I thought it was mid-08?
...and on another note Spore will be coming out 2008, boo yah!

And maybe we will get V3 soon too  :woot:

Wonderful. Hopefully the upgrades will allow for starbases to be worth something.

Cheers! :thumbsup:

I really like the idea, really. However don't You think that somestarbases are strongerthan others, f.e. romulan are fed are much weaker than klingon and dominion?  :detective:

You know, i was thinking, if I had the dedication and motivation...and inspiration that u guys had, I could probably be rich!  :D ...how do u do it? Where do u get yur inspiration from?

Are you sheer those plasma torps are not week sauce.

i cant help but wonder what led to you doing this news articale... the battleship thread???

anyway i think its a great idea and well done on it...

Actually, if I remember correctly, each station does have different offensive/defensive specs... but I agree, it would be neat if each was even more distinctive :shifty:

Not if it makes it imbalanced.

Of course, but I guess the differences would have to be offset by different things. Such as... as incoherent as I am... boost shields, weaken attack... etc. Or... each species gets starbase specific special weapons (I am still thinking that nanite burst ability :borg:)

August 2009 for SC 2.


Well, there goes my entire V3 PR Strategy, Rofl.

Finally the 'bases will get their teeth back ;)

I'd hoped for a more race-specific solution as well, but this'll do nicely as well  :borg:

I totally agree with you on this issue. Though I do like it that the bases have been made a bit stronger(as they should), I am also a bit disappointed that the solution is more race specific. Maybe even some Avatars could give some special bonuses to bases (Fed avatar Mayson comes to mind ;))

Rhaz did you mean SC 2 as in supreme commander 2 ( dont mean to be ignorant but this is an RTS mod site :D)

I believe he meant StarCraft 2  :D

oh ok did not think of that also a SWEEEEET game :woot:

Has anyone suggested the option of replacing captured Starbases Weapons and Shields with ones from your own race?
