hm, interesting idea, but releasing it may be irritating, we will test this in a dev game soon. It *may* be fun but also *may* throw a lot of gameplay out of armada. Also your freighters may decide to leave their dilithium moon for a good fight  DOCa Cola |

Meh, im gonna stick with escorting them, like in DS9 (IKS Rotarran escorting 3 of those Klingon freighters). IMO it looks cooler |

Thats true I suppose but lightly armed freighters and other races con ships should be considered, maybe someone could make it a request?

But time consuming, in the beginning you dont have any ships to spare and thats when you need protection the most Hmm perhaps. Although it does make it more challenging. Its part of the strategy, i mean if you have a bunch of armed freighters, then you can build your base without worry at all, its too easy. With the danger of your convoys being attacked, then 1) you get your priorities right 2) its a good challenge and leads to good strategy and 3) its realistic to Trek On the other hand though, most maps have moons etc right next to the base, so there's no distance involved, so it would be pointless escorting them. And later on, once youve mined that area clear and moved to the further ones, youve got more resources and base stuff anyway, so if one or two get destroyed, it doesnt matter. Complicated, i dont mind either way. |

Well first off these freighters will only be a deterant and 3 BoPs could take them easy, how I invision it anyway. Secondly, most people move out of the main base very early and usually the con ship or mining outposts outside of the main base are vunerable, so I just thought for the sake of realism, give the cons and freighters a type 8 or 2 phaser to keep them pesky rushers off yuor back til you can build some stuff. We should move to an offical post of Optec wont answer I don't think. My 2 cents, all I got to spare  |

i considered that too.. but many players try to attack their enemy in the eraly game stage.. with 3 pobs for example. it would mean a disadvantage to them if the frighters and construction ships get weapons, it's hard eneough to avoid the big starbase |

Hmm perhaps. Although it does make it more challenging. Its part of the strategy, i mean if you have a bunch of armed freighters, then you can build your base without worry at all, its too easy. dude we made a request to arm the miners with the same weapon that the ventura or talon has, any ship could destroy them if going 1 on 1, nobody would make 16 of them in the begining of the game, they are quite expencive, and besides, by the time someone makes enough freighters the other one already has enough spaceships to destroy them all. it would be for defence only, if i got a penny everytime a cloacked bird of prey attacked my miners, whoa, would i have enough money for a pack of chewing gum  |
