well here it goes
1. this suggestion is in applyance to the hirable ships and stations as for stations im shure that our exalente mods can figure out a way to modify the file for planets. ya know where it had population and also crew  well maby you could have to transport over a max of 10 crew onto the station (lets say a mining station) and then maby 200 population, then the station in order to mine for you needs to be payed X amount of recorces and then you can build mining ships and it will be able to mine and when you want to leave you can have a button that decomissions the shing you built earlyer to abandon it.

2. re texture of the scouts , have you seen the Talon or venture up close in comparrason to the other ships like the shrike or monsune? While looking at the talon i noticed that that little arch was not there and that was like the coolest part of the ship( the part with the windows in the front. maby not re texture maby? remodel?

3. Romulan shuttels i recall a romulan shuttel that kicked bum. maby we could have those orbiting the romulan stations.

4. Federation Emergancy War yard, a yard to build all those old ships like mirandas and Apallo class ships the ships could come at a verry low price ,low build time low offencive and low defencive but a cheap way to draw fire from big ships ( for example maby a dominion war campagine?) weathe you could build ther yard or not i dont know or care but i think that one of these yards may enhance game play for the federation.

5. Dilithum and tritanium trade places. well i dont know about you guies but i think a ship needs moer metal then DI and also supply shood cost lotsa DI and less tri ( that is if they trade places)

6.less tech stations for the klingons maby combine a couple so that you dont have two stations that have the same relative purpose(I am not insulting the stations its just that theirs so many)

7. and i cant resist putting in a ship request or two A.Nova class (so cool)

Haven't read everything else but I LOVE the idea of #4!!

For me, these ideas are pretty appealing ... except mainly for number 4 
While this would be a great gaming idea, I can't help thinking this wouldn't fit Flops very well: since this is set after the Dominion War, ships used by each race are current ones. Older ships would serve no real purpose and I can imagine that especially the Federation would be reluctant to use such old ships (which already had been decomisioned anyway) which would expend lives needlessly, not being on the forefront of technology anymore.

I am less concerned about the research stations for Klingons, because I like how each race is unique in its research requirements and needs for expansion.... I am all for more ships though (I guess as long as they are cannon; or up to the time period  )

I am not qualified enough to talk about tritanium and dilithium recquirements; but if I remember correctly, most of the ships combine dilithium not only in power conduits and warp coils; but also computers and in the ships' decks to strengthen the metal. Better to talk to a real star trek buff on this though

I second this one.

i dont like the idea of number 1.
i like 4 the best, [big fan of the miranda class:D]
6 needs to be left alone, like Dom said, it makes them different, or does it, im pretty sure the romulans have 2 upgrade stations.
and 7 gotta love a variety of ships

Well, you're in luck, the Nova class, I do believe, is on the itinerary as a future addition.

yep, the Nova will be an avatar unit in the future

Which avatar? 

Well, I doubt it will be Risner, so it must be that... other guy...

Sweet.. the Nova class is such a beautiful ship. almost as beautiful as the Excelsior class

But nothing comes close to the Akira in terms of sheer elegance.

I prefer the old lady when it comes down to design

I've always been a fan of the negh'var... of course captained by the fed's, right?
