I think adding bad lands to the game would be pretty neat.

I know it bean posted about be for AND at that time FO was a different game and what was true then may not be true now.

The idea I had for it is:

1) have a map element that reflects the authenticity of the bad lands.

2) have in the map element have spinning spirals of plasma that have a very very strong gravitational pull.

3) make it so only small ships can enter it and older ships such as the nova and steam-runner would be damaged and throw out of it also bigger ships would be also thrown clear of it with damage and finally older big ships aka excelsior, romulen war bird, and many klingon ships would be destroyed instantly.

Neat idea, but the nova is neither old nor large

If you watch a episodes of the DS9, TNG and the 1st VOG episode you will see what depends when ships that are to big try to enter.

I not sheer what you comment is referring to but I hope that my comment clears up what you where concerned about.

Well you just seemed to think that a Nova class ship was old and unable to maneuver in the badlands when I thought they were at least as agile as intrepids, and smaller. and voyager seemed not bothered about going to the badlands.

Overall I know exactly what you mean, and its an awesome idea for a map, I am just arguing semantics, it doesn't really matter I guess I just have a different view of the nova to you

This is not a nova is different it only effects some types of ships and not others novas effect every ship.

Its a hole new type of map element.

Thanks I for the feed back.

Just got to step in here for a sec; Ewm, he meant the Nova class when he said "I just have a different view of the nova to you"

New map objects are always appealing, and it would make for some interesting gameplay. However, I do currently hate destroyer spam, and I almost would prefer some map object (some type of nebula) that would kill all basic ships, and leave the big ones still capable.

That would be great, more enviroment diversity

Speaking of the Nova Class.....I'd really love to see that class in game,maybe the early 25th century version Harry Kim commanded in Endgame,a replacement for the monsoon or one of the other fed ships maybe

well its in as a map object but i dont want it to replace any of the other ships. I was thinking however that it could replace the monsoon as the borg mixed tech ship.
