Hi,

i have a question.

Just player Romulan and a Borg ally.

I found some stats..from the generix class which possibly be incorrect.

Generix Frigat Refit 
29 Offensive  (+3 from avatar)
24 Defensiv
12 System

The mixed tech version has
28 (+2 from mixed Tech)
26 (+2 from mixed Tech)
14 (+2 from mixed Tech)

so it has lower offensive stats...
i think it should 26+3+2, because the avatar increased the offensive value, so the Borg tech upgrades the increased stats.
Also it's easier to understand why it have this stats...and it would be more attractive to build them.
dunno how the other ship stats are calculated...

Mixed-Tech bonuses and Avatar boni do not stack, that could lead to unfair combinations. In other words: You can either get Avatar or Mixed-Tech bonuses on a vessel

I thought this was a bug too, I would think it would stack, the better ships already take longer and cost more to build!

thats the point, the better ships have to take longer, otherwise, there would be no need for the weaker ships

Sence this is a mixed tech thread then i gues this isn't an of topis question. 

Do you think there is any chance of mixed tech upgrades being aded to the origional ship.  Like the defiant.  Will we alwayse have to choose between cloak and grav. mines?

same problem on the Akira with borg ally.
Says +2 offensive but the stat says 24 instead of 27. the standard akira was 25

The base Akira has 22 offensive, +2 makes 24. Risner's Akira gets +3 that leads to 25, but Avatar and Mixed-Tech bonuses do not stack, so you will either get +2 or +3, but not +5. Thats intended.
As a rule of thumb only bonuses apply that are put in the tooltip, if you can only read Mixed Tech Bonuses there you wont get Avatar Bonuses and the other way round.

We do not plan to change the way you get Mixed-Tech units, they will still be buildable in a seperate facility, to symbolize that using alien tech is not an every-days business (therefore the long construction time, its harder to get that alien stuff working, ask O'Brian!).

Well and of course out of balancing reasons too

However there are more mixed-tech units planned for the future!

Can I just say that as is, there is very little incentive to build the mixed-tech akira IMO.

Both avatars give bonuses to the Antares yard.
Therefore when you build a Dominion Mixed-Tech Akira you are effectively paying 80 dil. 26 tri. and 2 supply (and the massively increased build time, plus all the bother of getting mixed-tech in the first place, station research etc.) for one extra torpedo launcher and either +2 offense -2 defense or -1 offensive +2 defense.
