3rd Fed ship poll

posted on August 31st, 2009, 10:30 pm

I'd be fine with more designs for map objects and "junkyards"--but not buildable and not for Warp In unless they have the exact same or very similar stats and abilities. Even if Warp In is random to an extent, I will use that strategically. The larger the array of possible units, the harder it is to predict and use these vessels... which would be problematic if, for example, you got two 8 offense, 10 defense Mirandas

That would be a bitch...bit it would make it harder to hit mining bases early on with Galaxy's.

8 Offense - 10 Defense? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Ah, I just meant that as a joke: I'll leave that sort of balancing up to the Devs

Indeed it would make it harder to hit mining bases... but it would take some of the uniqueness away from the Warp-In, as that is currently filled with heavy hitting support units. Receiving instead some weaker-than-Saber-ships would be pretty underwhelming and screw with balancing I think.

Well, the only ones weaker than a Saber would be TMP-ones. I doubt they'd be as common after the War, so ships around Interpid-Akira level would be more common than them (mid level ships the most common?).

Anyway, is this meant to be about a new ship or Warp-In?

I personally would really love to see the Soulwolf Class most of all, and I really like the Diligent class for a small destroyer, its sick.

OMG someone mentioned Vesta, when i saw that ship for the first time I had a total nerdgasm, thats the coolest design since the sovereign... I think the best design on this poll though is by far the Wild Boar class, Awesome!!!

I think that FO is by far the best mod for A2 i've ever played, its very polished, and you got rid of the most annoying thing in the original A2 officer limits, yay!

...Or "Any ship NOT belonging to Federation".

That would have gotten my vote.

What is the Vesta class? I never heard of it.

Except it wouldn't fit in here...

Forgive me if I'm wrong but the Manta class appears to be very similar to the USS Enterprise J, which at the time is one of the most superior ships ever built, if the Manta was added it would have to be severely downpowered...

The Manta is the class the Enterprise J was. I was thinking of these stats since it is a futuristic vessel.

Offensive: 186
Defensive: 249
System: 129

- Quantum Phaser (Deals increased damage to all craft with defensive less than 40)
- Tachyon Torpedoes (Deals Quadruple damage to buildings and double damage to Battleships and Veterans)
- Long Range Detection Grid (Passive)
- Quadroniam Alloy Armor (Passive: Greatly increases hull strength without the burden of heavy Inertia)
- Hex-layered Sheilding (Passive: Greatly increases Sheild strength without decreasing the recharge rate)

You know i might agree on the addtition of the Manta, the Dominion have a dreadnought, borg a cube, and romulans a Tavara, maybe it's about time the federation were given an uber unit...

That would be 1 step closer to making each side the same... why do you want a Federation 'Uber ship'?  That is not their style; The closest they would ever go is the Descent, a defensive Battleship.

Yeah incline to agree there, then maybe they should have an uberdefensive ship?

So why haven't the Klingons got an uber vessel? Defending is rarely there way of doing things...
