DOCa Cola talk onSorry for using your post, buts the first one beginning another discussion  Ok, i splitted the topic from the screenshots thread cause this got a bit too off topic, all goes about this shot  DOCa Cola talk offGreat shot. But in my mind, that should never happen in the Star Trek universe! It is a too accurate example of the disposal ship/tank rush mentality. A strategic decision should be one or two big ships or dozens of small ships. Not, building dozens of the biggest ships.

Actually, that WASN'T really a rush. It took a long time to get to that point. And it's a large ammount of ships because I like my overkill being a Texan and I belive quite firmly in the old adage "Better too much than too little".

with NPC races (as i call the non player races.. i'm a oldschool rpg guy  ) defending the expansions - and an far more aggressive AI - the number of ships you usualy have is much smaller.. in the test game Detektor and I have done yesterday (midway, the two of us against to Ai players, no npc races yet..) we made the final push with 3 teams of vessels.. small groups of 3-8 vessels were mist common of course if you play on a 6 player map with 2 opponents you will find much more rsources so you will build up a much larger fleet, but the NPC races and the new AI should realy give you something to rip your ships off |

So your saying, your maps will have built in Non Playable races to check the expansion of the players? Cool. What kind of races? Tholians or somethin? Cardassians maybe?
OH, and if I psh psh on the AI, don't mind me, I've yet to find an AI (cept for the Nightmare AI from Conquest Frontier Wars) taht I couln't crush with ease. And certainly no Armada AI. But that's why I don't play against the AI.

A strategic decision should be one or two big ships or dozens of small ships. Not, building dozens of the biggest ships. But not when you're attacking a base. Small ships are too weak to take on an Outpost guarded with Defense Turrets, unless you have A LOT of them. Besides, there were Spheres there and Assimilators. |
