There are plenty of canon ships to work in for proper balancing, thats not possibly a reason for their introduction. As for older ships being phased out, yes, the Miranda and older Excelsiors were BEGINNING to finally be phased out, but they are still around Nemesis timeline, and will be until a larger amount of Akiras and such are produced.

For the Romulans and Dominion, yeah, both of those races definitely needed a couple of make up ships, (Although the Romulans already had a good number of fan made ships that would have fit the bill).

Fan made ships...are non canon just the same. I prefer the ships that FO made to fan made ships. If you notice fan made ships...they are ALL 'Tactical heavy super tactical cruiser with ablative armor and phase cloak battleship'. They're all mostly uber and unstoppable. Which is far worse than a realistically designed non-canon ship by the FO team.

Yup, it seems that usually fan made ships are all incredibly powerful and hence useless for an actual balanced game.

I was referring to that Romulan Griffin class I think it is, as one of those potential fan made ships that have been around forever. |

The only non cannon ship that really doesn't bother me is the Achilles, and that is simply because it doesn't look insanely uncannon, it seems like something the federation would do. Back on topic though. |

The Defiant is a ship that barely look canon at all, the Achilles on the other hand looks like a 3 year old's finger painting designed into a ship. |

Posted on: December 07, 2007, 12:12:37 pm
ok sry for the double post but it has ben a while.
getting back onto topic will the seperated and refused ships contain the orig ship name and all damages bee kept. also would this work to make engaged armour work properly as the fused weapon keeps changing the ships name (unless i'm doing it wrong) thx
