A Bunch of Requests

posted on October 18th, 2009, 1:04 pm

I'll start with apologizing for anything that I mention here, that has already been covered. If such topics have been covered in great detail elsewhere, I'd appreciate links to them, so they can be discussed elsewhere, thus saving this thread for other such conversations.

I'd like to start with races (both playable, and non playable). First and foremost, I still ponder where the Cardassian's are in all of this. Sure they got their ass handed to them following the Dominion War, but then, so did the other powers. I'd have thought Cardassia would have risen up again by now, no? If not to have them as playable, could we not have them as mere map units, with a few stations here and there? All we really need is the Hideki, Galor, Keldon (maybe) and another ship or two (maybe the Norin and Tonga from the DS9: Dominion Wars game)?

Secondly, various refits. I know one of the Romulan ships have them (though I can't for the life of me remember its name). I was thinking that you guys could have a similar process for the Nebula? Her pods are suppose to be interchangeable after all. We've got the Sensor Pod, Weapons Pod, and that variant with the additional nacelles.. there is also the fan-created Neutron-pod type too, which could be implemented? Wouldn't hurt either, to have an option to 'refit' the Excelsior.

Thirdly, and on the same topic as the Breen / Dominion / Cardassian etc... What of the Son'a? Could we not have these implemented into the Dominion? Personally, I'd have had the Dominion side as JUST the Dominion, and have the Breen, Cardassian etc as NPC races of who's buildings you must first capture in order to build their ships, but for avatar's sake, could the Son'a and Cardassian's not be looked at?

I'll leave that there for now.. can't be writing too much.

welcome^^

1.Cardassians are sopposed to become a NPC race, but the devs are still woking on it. if you want you can check out the mod "Final Frontier"(yes, a mod of a mod^^) wich is still in progress and aims for a fully playable cardassian race.

2.the nebula refit is in progress, as zeich has already posted in his blog(see the news thread "New development blog" also, the excelsior you can warp in is already the war-refit, and because of this it isnt planned to give it more upgrading possibilities, i think

3.the sona arent implemented right now, but you have breen npc mapobjects; their starbase, a yard, a turret, the cruiser and the battleship. for the sona you might check out the thhird avatar mod which aims for adding an third dominion avatar with sona ships.

I don't really do 'mods of mods', though will check it out. See what they've got to offer.

The Excelsior is the standard Excelsior; I'm on about the Lakota Refit.

the sona arent implemented right now, but you have breen npc mapobjects; their starbase, a yard, a turret, the cruiser and the battleship. for the sona you might check out the thhird avatar mod which aims for adding an third dominion avatar with sona ships.

Noted, thanks.

If it isn't that now, it will be soon enough (I remember it was planned... I just can't remember if the model change was made yet)

That veteran refit isn't in the current version of the game. The version we're all playing only has Excelsior and Excelsior-II in that particular family.
