i dont under stand you quetion.

by makeing serin races more profitiont as killing ech uther you addd stratigy to the game.

If race A is more proficiant at killing race B, who would want to be race B when faced to race A? They would want to be race C, which is more proficiant at killing race A. The person who has race A then would switch to race B, which is more proficiant at killing race C.

It makes sense when you think about it, after about 5 minutes

as i sed in the post above.

both races wood be abal to kill che uther more profishontly in defrant whays. nuther whood have an advatege. be cuss thay both whood have difrant whay of killech uther that whood be equlay efective.

the idea is to some whay beter to kill an enamy than uther to thame the player thing adding stadigy.

right basily ewm if race 1 has an advantage over 2 and 2 over race 1and three has an advantage over race 4 and vise versa, all you will ever have is race 1 V race 2 & race 3 V race 4 you woil;d get very few Race1 V race 4 etc.

plus the whole idea is pointless in my opinun.

well if all the races are the same whay have more than one.

if you give races sptilatys as the fleetops teem is doing naw the races be come good at some things and not as good at uther. as thay are in the star trek show.

but just because the dominion decided to hit the klingons first does not mean they have an advantage does it? that would be like giving England an advantage in all stragey games with wealth,power and rescoures and a huge starting army because we had the worlds biggest and strongest empire at some point? if you don't understand i can elaberate later.

i am just tocking about a small advatige not like a one hit kill. jutst some thing that makes you thing about what you are doing alital more to get the best rezolt out of your fite.

so not only whood you have to lern haw to use the ships but all so haw the ships wepinds efect difrant targets this whood make the game a lital deeper to give meepal a reson to keep playing it. i think the reson why pepal get bord of games is be cuss thay stop lerning from tham.

as long as thare some thing elss to lern it stays intresting.

All the races are unique enough as it is, and that rock-paper-sizzers concept is in the game with ships, doing it with races would indeed be pointless....

Right so anyhow, I think that ramming should be included. when in a battle I tend to try and get damaged ships out of battle, but if i was playing dominion I think the bug ships would be much better put to use ramming other ships if there damaged. If it is implimented though i would have to say that it should be quite powerful or its not worth the reasorces but not too powerful, after all it is a warpcore exploding against your ship even if it isn't a big one. Also it shouldn't have any advantage over any races as i can't see why an explosion would be anymore effective against one races shields than another.

Now two problems I can see, first of all this would be a great weapon if some great big ship comes along and dissables the weapons of half your fighters (i think the sovy can do it) but that dissables all weapons including special ones which sucks . Secondly I seriously doubt you can get the AI to use it, all though i may be wrong. It would be seriously cool if you could get the AI when a ship is down to say 5/10% hull strength that it would use the special weapon on the nearest enemy ship.

Overall those two arn't really problems but ways a good idea could be improved if A2 was better but ahh well. Any how i think it should go in the mod.

i think the ai would so the oposite and just end up ramming his entire fleet into you, espicaly if its set to 963 automaticly (by 963 i mean the keyboard shortcuts to activate full redaler, full movement, full attack and full special)

no; because in this case it would be race A is more efficant at killing race B but race B is more efficant at killing race A so the game balences out and race C is not involved

Example:
Dom ships ram Klingons and do extra damage But Klingon disruptore do extra damage to Dom ships therby balencing it

Wrong, every race would be good against one other race. But then there is a race thats good against that one.

I knew someone wouldn't get it

U know that paper-rock-sizzers game? Rock wins vs sizzers, paper vs rock and sizzers vs paper. This is the same concept, just put in race A,B,C instead of rock, paper and sizzers and replace the word win with is better
