since we've revamped the Feds, Klings, and Roms, could we also please revamp the Dominion side. If what we see in V3 is all that the Dominion has to offer, then that side is now - compared to the new Borg, and revamped Feds, Roms, and Klings - boring.
revamping the Dom, with maybe the Weyoun avatar including Card ships, like the Breen avatar includes Breen cruisers, would help. But as suggested on another recent thread - a Dom supercruiser version of the Tavara would be nice.
Let's not neglect the Dominion plz.

Bearing in mind that the team don't show us everything beforehand, I'd doubt that they have been neglected. It's possible we just haven't been shown everything yet, which does make sense.

Good job as always Optec  FO does need some new eye-candy  BTW: serpicus Im sure they are not neglecting the Dominion side  They wouldnt dare  IMO the reason why the feds, klingons and roms get all these brand new models is because they are old, so they need redoing so they dont stick out too much in games while in contrast the Dominion models are all new and up to date  Also I dont know if Id call them boring :S I find their style quite different to other races and so are quite challanging and unique to play. IMO of course. They use specialist units, which can always work in your advantage  Im a little disappointed that their battleship sucks so much, but I think it really is not as strong as a Negh'Var or Sovie for instance (stronger than the Warbird IMO tho). Also I have a feeling they will get something stronger in last v3  The ONLY thing I am missing for the Dominion is an all-round cruiser aka Vorcha/Akira/Griffin, but one can always use bugs in that role ^^ And if they had one, they wouldnt really have specialist units, now would they  About the Weyoun avatar, they will not use it because FO is based after the Dom war and so the Cardies are not allied with the Dom anymore and Weyoun is also dead  From a purely gaming perspective I must say that they are properly balanced against the other races and I can (and have) cope with any other race in MP and against any player  After v3 is released I can guarantee you u'll be satisfied with them

if we are sticking by timelines such as after the dominion war - are we to then assume that the Borg are different now due to the virus Janeway released at the end of Voyager - or is this now going to be a game set between the Dom war and Voyager's return. Come on. I see what you're driving at, and I respect your perspective. But I dont think many of us are actually so hardcore when it comes to "timeframe". We would like to play a robust game with as much eye candy as possible. Cardassian ships like the Galor and Keldon are staple StarTrek race ships, and not having the Cards, when an entire series was devoted to them, in a Star Trek game is like having no Roms. If we want to be so hardcore then we can safely say that with Odo having barely cured the founders after the Dominion War, their entry into another war would be non-canon. The main issue is fun. Let's not get too hung up on timelines. I'm sure you enjoy playing as is - but many of us would like to see a few additions to the Dom side, and would not like to simply get stuck on non-essential timeline constraints. But it's upto the mods.

Well, we know for a fact that the developers have consistently stated that Fleet Operations takes place after the Dom war (and perhaps even after Nemesis)... but they have stated (if I may put my foot in my mouth) that they have been taking their own liberties. Thus, you may get your wish, depending on which way the current ebbs.

The K'tinga is only about 90-100 years old, introduced in the 2270s. Gotta say I'm still not a fan of simply making new ships to replace perfectly useful old ones, as it is incredibly redundant. In your defense they do look good though. It's your mod, so do whatever.

This just looks incredible! The new miranda I think looks particularly good, I wonder how exclusive it will be? I'm blown away

The K'tinga is only about 90-100 years old, introduced in the 2270s. Yea, but the D7 spaceframe (which became the K'Tinga class, much as the Constitution spaceframe became the Constitution refit) is at least 150 years old, so it probably was time for an upgrade...

Didn't the Klingon's use D7's at the time of Enterprise (NX-01) already?

They actually had a new Klingon ship designed, but they ran out of time to make a CG model of it. Shame, since it was a pretty neat design.
