Canaveral class: I find it really annoying that i can't aim the probe. I have to manually turn the ship and it flys all over the place in the process. Monsoon class: It just looks a little silly firing those two phasers at the same time...maybe one phaser twice as fast? Also, considering it's short range, it won't move very far to engage an enemy that it's being attacked by. Shield repair: My last suggestion (for a while, at least  ) is that when shields go down, they can't try to regenerate on their own until a few seconds after they were hit by a weapon. This way it would remove the shield animation that keeps coming up several seconds after they failed. It would also make transporter attacks a little easier, as they sometimes don't work b/c your opponent's vessel managed to regenerate 1 point of shield energy. EDIT: on second thought, scratch what i said about the monsoon, it doesn't really matter and there are more important things to be done!  |

Yes, maybe the probe could be like a ship, well be a ship, with a limited life span. I don't really know how you can do that...but I think it's possible. It doesn't have to be like a ship, sounds like to much micro to me, just some sort of targeting reticle for the cursor like several other special weapons and when I click it shoots out in that direction. Also, I have a question: why do some ships, like the norway, which are unique to an avatar list avatar bonuses? You can't even get that ship without the avatar! |

Well its the hole point of having avatars, you have to choose one to get specific things then you have to live with your choice. Or start a new game,  |

Slightly off topic, is it true that it's impossible to have more than 2 avatars per race?

apparantly not, theres talk of bringing in more avatars, and someone acutally modding V3 PR to have a 3rd avatar choice. although to be fair i aint sure where though, but i do remember hearing it.

Cool more avatars. Now the team will have to think of more variety to ships abilities and if they should add ships or stations to those specific avatars.

silly question but cant you use the evolution thing (noxter and 8472 thing) for the avatars but make the build time like 0.5 of a second that way you'll be able have as many avatars as u wish well upto the maximum that u can have build items and if you only have a short build time it'll seam almost instant and there should be no shell (cacoon exploding part) visable

I believe that the Avatars are technology, and therefore not represented on the screen.

I see what you're saying, but, really, I'd rather see them working on new textures/models.
