The Dominion

Can i just say well done with the dom you defo fixed their issues since PR 3.0...

Their main gripe was that you needed at least three moon sets to get any form of decent construction going on but after playing a online game with players set to random and me getting dom and at first being upset i can say bloody well done with them...

with just two moon sets i managed to have two large yards and nearly two small yards off and on constnatly pumping out ships non stop...

and to be honest its all down to the fact you can build your normal resource gather and also one supply for each moon set and because supply takes so long to transfer but at a decent amount it allows your normal mining to go on nicely, once again super work!

any chance of the dominion have a resource like the dominions prestige thing, after all they are a warrior race designed to serve the founders and i think it would be great if they had a influence thing like the borg where you get access to bigger ships like you do with the borg or maybe to particular special weapons thanks to prestige and say you could earn it by going out and fighting for the ships that you kill...

you know so like in a sense oyur being rewarded to fight and be aggressive like the race really would be...

I think the Dominion misses founders and Cardassians . Yes I read already that the latter don't occure because the game is set after the war, but who cares?
The Cardy's are my favourite species in ST and it's very sad that they are not here, instead there is this nasty C11 Interception destroyer... Sorry, but I don't like that ship, the only thing that's good about it, is that it's easy to kill . A Galor would fit perfectly in this position, as well as a Keldon as troop transport or siege cruiser. If one equipped the attack destroyer with torpedoes, the Hideki could be the first fighter...
The missing of the Cardassians is the only thing I really dislike about the mod, everything else is great work!!!

The Cardassians could be a third avatar, incase people want to re-enact the Dominion War. I do that often, but it isn't the same without the Cardassian ships.

Here's something that may interest you: FO Cardassians, Star Trek: Armada 2 Downloads, Star Trek: Armada 2 Addons

With a few modding skills you should be able to keep the breen ships as well

3 avatars for the Dominion seems excesive work for the FO team in my opinion.

A Cardassian patch, maybe by a third party, to replace the Breen with the cardassians seems like a good choice to me.

maybe. but i dont want to lose the Breen either. they are an important component to the Trek universe too.
Besides if the team is going to adopt borg adaptation and non-borg re-modulation of weaponry, then a 3rd avatar which is mere porting over of existing code and inclusion of a few new models to replace other old ones - retaining basic functionality.. maybe a few tweaks so that it is a little versatile - would still be simpler than the whole train of new feature requests that are being thrown out there.. like new races or new functions for specific ship abilities.. stuff that actually involves a whole revamp of the GUI and code.

Simpler still could be revamping the existing pure dominion avatar. Instead of the extraneous support ships or the strange new dominion cruiser in the "solo dominion" avatar (dont know the name, the one which looks like an extended inverted 2 toed talon) we may as well have the keldon and galor.

I at least do not find any of the "pure dominion" ships to be interesting. The breen tech mix is always more interesting when playing dominion.
especially since the battleship is available for both with mixed tech.
