Cardassian Strategy

the Cardassians are in the process of reconstruction.  It is likely that Garak and possible Thomas Riker would be at the top of the Union. anyway here is a ship I designed in my spare time. I call it the Memoas-class cardassian carrier. I hope you like.

Thomas Riker at the top of the Union? Interesting thought...

I don't think I understand how Thomas Riker would be at the top (in charge of) the Cardassian Union. After all, he is human and I though he was a member of the Maquis, why would he be in charge?

Then again, anything is possible, look at Shinzon, he was human and actually became Praetor of the Romulan Star Empire and served in the Dominion War with the Remans.

The Cardassians are only going to be included as a non-player race. Why should they include a construction ship?

According to the devs not all but some of the NPC races will function a lot like player races, complete with active constructors that build bases on the maps. I suppose that's why a constructor should be included for the Cardassians since they are considered the largest functional NPC race in the game.

In regards to the Cardassians in FO I'd just wait for the Devs to finish the race redoes and get onto the NPC races and Environment redoes and then mod those races from that point, but that's just my opinion.

Yeah the Cardassians will work well as a map race. I am a big fan of the Cardassians and would love to see them as a playable race, but considering that isn't happening for obvious reasons it's great to see that they will at least make an appearence as a map faction.

I did a A2 mod a while back, with a lot of new Cardassian ships, here are some screenshots of them done by Jetfreak.

Ah that would be CoE, right? It has a huge amount of awesomely made Cardie ships and the worst AI ever seen in an A2 mod (and I am allowed to say that because I wrote it )

Correct, Clash of Empires.
Some more images are included, since the attachment feature here is a bit restrictive.

Hey Terra your AI is better than mine, I didn't have one at all.

Tom Riker would likely never assist the Cardies.... Far more likely he'd bring the Maquis back and find a world to colonise outside of federation space or something like that.

Besides, its RIKER, do you really think he remained in that prison for that long ? .

Exactly what I was thinking!
Well said!

For me, the best idea is make the Cardassians as a map race but boardable.

Boarding a Hutet, Galor, Keldon, Hideki or Kimal, will be a gift the map has to offer.

The Ferengi should be boardable too.
