Federation Mason Defensive Warpin

This Idea would be a completely new warp in ability, replacing Mason's Ex warp in.
The Foundation is that mason is a defenceve avatar and thus by Removing the Descent And Replacing
it With A defence oreneted abilty, somthing like this could be viable in game.

Spec's
The ship's inculded would be the New Orleans, Cheyanne, Freedom, Springfield, Yeager, Niagra, Ambasador, Challenger, and the Centaur. The Warp In Would Get Ten Ships At once And have a 500 second cool down, Also Important is taht its location would not be choseable(Like The Quantum singularity Effect on The Stock Kulinor Class) The Destination Would Be Preset To Within A reasonable distance of Starfleet Command

The Descent is already an entirely defense-oriented ship, with a heavy defense and the ability to recharge the shields of nearby ships.

Yes Thats True But Its Already Been estadlished That Risner Is the one that like the big guns, Removing The Super ship From Mason would give players that like the decent a little more Motivation to play as risner(Personily i don't like her Avatar) Plus Get A few Rare Weird Ships Ingame

The Descent isn't a 'big gun', though. It offensive value is rather low for the numbr of weapons it has, and is lower than the rest of the Federation battleships (until veteran).

Still Mason isn't(or at least i dont think) the type to have expermental ships(Risner's Phalanx;Avalon). And I Don't mean to black list the Descent but three warp-in abilitys is a little to much for one avatar

10 warpins at once

Haha yes!!!! and then in a 3v3 we can have 3 Maysons warp in 30 starships in the first 3-4 minutes of the game!!!!  :woot:

If you thought Mayson was OP in previous patches you haven't seen notin'

There's nothing unconventional or 'unpatriotic' about borrowing a ship still in the experimental stage; it has to get field tested eventually. Risners largely about unonventional things you don't usually find in a Federation fleet.

Having your idea with the regular Warp-Ins would allow you to only use 1 or the other. There's likely to be some balance concerns about 10 Warp-Ins together, though.

Wolf 359 Ring a bell, these ships would be crusiers and destoryers capable of absoultely nothing. more like a last resoort if youre main defences go down.

Wolf 359 wasn't balanced for fair play, and was stacked very heavily in the Borg's favor.

Try to imitate something like the with Warp-Ins and the enemy isn't going to last very long.

Exactly. You wouldnt be able to do much with this except slow the enevitable, this isn't designed to be a viable defence, just a last resort, somthing to buy you a few seconds, at the very end.(Maby Tech requirements would balence it a bit more, enough to fit in well)

At first a new way of warp hardening the defense and now a last resort-thing with throw-away-ships?

What about creating the idea new from scratch? The warp-in is already mighty. And the feds are already strong. And Mayson already gets a huge defense-boon through his turrets and increased def-values for his smaller ships and got the excel II that will blow away the map in later game.

Honestly, I dont even get the surface of your idea... tell me, what exactly do you want to have, and how do you want to balance it out?

The hole point of this that Cannon starfleet always had pointless varity in their ship designs, they had a large slection of odd, weird, and useful ships, the point of this is to recreate the variaty ingame, maby the defenceve Warp-in is not the best way to do it but its an idea, there are ignored ships like the New Orleans That don't get as much atention as they deserve, Thats The Point

Lol the fleet at Wolf 359 was the main defense xD... and they were up against a command cube lol. Are you saying the Borg should be able to immediately get a Command Cube out that fast too? =D
