Title: When is FO based in?
Post by: StarLiner on January 11, 2008, 02:44:14 AM
When is the fleet operations mode based in? Afew years after the dominion war? After Star Trek nemisis? During the Dominion War?

Just a bit curious.

I believe it is after Nemesis, but I could be wrong about this.  :shifty: However, I am absolutely positive that it is after the Dominion War, hence why there are no Cardassians in the Dominion ( :crybaby:).

I have always assumed that FO was set at around the same time as vanilla AII was; six months after A1, which (i think) was set  a few months after the Dominion War.

Dominius_Noctis is also correct about it being set after Nemesis; the team was mentioning once Scimitar-class ships making a apperance as a map/special ship.

There there Dominus...you can still have Cardassians in the Dominion; you just to find some, find their shipyard/starbase and "persuade" them to join you... (:lol:).

Fleet Operations is based on a Star Trek RPG we (the developers) play. The RPG started in the weeks after the dominion war. Fleet Operations is therefore based around one year after the war.
As certain events raised while we were already playing (Star Trek Nemesis hit the cinemas for example) the Fleet Operations time line splits up a bit from normal Star Trek. We tried to incorporate these events into the story, but some did not match the events occurred in our story. I will write a complete timeline after the v3 release :)

It would be really neat to see a timeline (I'd like to know how everything fit together, as I am sure we all would :D )
So T-Man, would you be willing to offer me the limited use of your warp-capable starship (preferably with high yield quantum/graviton torpedoes) so that I can go out and hunt down some willing Cardies?   :shifty:

I will write a complete timeline after the v3 release :)

So going on my guess for the V3 release date; we should expect it on the 13th of never then.. :ermm:

sorry, lol, had too take the shot.  :blush:

a picture perfect masterpiece is worth exactly squat if it never sees the light of day.. :(

Well, I'll be the optimist and say that Fleet Ops will come out  :D
I think there is another thread in which the Developers hint at a possible release date (not Never)  :whistling:
Good things come to those who wait (and to those who grab them from those who wait of course  :sweatdrop:)

With any luck (and a lot of Developer intervention)... we should have V3 within the next year....?????  :ermm: Hopefully that is.... maybe? Possibly.... ok, maybe  :whistling:

So... Early to mid 2009 then?

Early 2009 would be great, and would more or less coincide with the no doubt disappointing new Star Trek film!!

In the mean time, Dom and I will find and capture a heavily armed ship to have fun with. Do you remember when we fought the entire Klingon Empire with a single vessel? Those were simpler times... (sigh).  :ermm:

Was that something I actually missed, or did you just make that up then?

When Gul Dukat stole the K'vort Class Bird of Prey and went on a campaign against the Klingon Empire.

Ok, I'm game  :woot:
Only, I want to blast the heck outta some ships (I won't settle for a stupid early Earth probe, no way).
What ship are we commandeering?  :shifty:

Something powerful enough to cause lots of problems and get us arrested, but not so powerful that we get our ass handed to us when we try to capture it  :blink: Actually the K'vort would be a good choice.

Excellent *twiddles fingers in Monty Burns style*.
Do you know any shipyards that would...errrr... lend us one? :ermm:
The K'vort would work, but those Klingons ain't too good with the whole mercenary aspect... you know, the whole "honor" thing and all. How are you with a bat'leth?
