Hmmm... I was wondering if maybe there'd be a Soyuz II class....

I love the Miranda II. And I agree that it has a slot limit. As it is, they kick serious ass, with only the 20 allowed. I don't want to think about a good Fed player with even more of those.

If you let them guard one of your flanks, it takes a reinforced borg cube to allow you to see what they just destroyed this time. You usually only see the expanding orange explosion cloud.

And if you turn on their special, it's specially unfair.

But it is slow building, and can still be countered,

How ever, i belive that my victory with mal over dominius, and (sry i forget who else) was greatly helped by the miranda 2, its strenght is in its defense, the other teams kligon ships did cloak attacks, taking out all of my mining, but because my mirandas could take such a beating, i was able to rank them up quickly, and when the battle was finally one, all i had left were my mirandas,

they dont outshoot their opponents, they outlast them, had i been using excelsiors or akiras........ i might of had a few more ships, but it would have been harder to win.......

however, dont let it seem like im worshipping it as a god ship that can destroy an enemy who took out all my mining, alot of it had to do with dominisus fleet got caught with a dominiun time freeze coupled with a plasma coil from norways and a hyperspace artillery, that was the turning point, to bad he took out my norways........

Ah back in the days of the Plasma Coil of DOOOOOM!

Teammate was Cbosdell

Darn hard to win with Klingons... not to mention darn hard to win without any mixed tech 
As far as it goes, Dominion (with any) and Federation (when with Dominion) mixed tech are pretty much the strongest mixed tech arsenals available.

Yeah, specially because the borg don't have Mixed Tech, thanks to God. Or the Devs.

Still, there is some tech they could assimilate, may be. After all, they are all about assimilating.

The Borg have the mixed tech modules for Adaptors. Quite handy for Optimize in my opinion

After all, they are all about assimilating

Don't forget about the destroying too. Assimilation is not until later episodes with the Borg (and not what Optimize is supposed to be about).

yeah cbosdell, well remeber dominus, i didnt use norways alot in that game, specially since i had no mining, and then you destryoyed the small shipyard, oh and then all of my base, your guyses fof though........... jeez

Don't look at me. I was TaQ'roja! Between Mal Hyperspacing my base from within yours to having to talk Cbosdell through the Klingon tech tree, twas quite interesting

Field of Fire was pretty fun to watch once he got up a few LuSpets

Talk about a really old game!   Could you imagine it with Vetern Dreadnaughts and Miranda II's?

Never again will I do random when two people pick Dominion and Federation!
