Federation Venture, and Borg Vessels

First - it would be nice to have the venture class MOVE while using its cloak detect - otherwise, it is rather useless!

Second - Borg vessels blend into the background far too well...

The Venture move while cloak-killing? Considering the thing counters advanced cloaks, it's probably best it is immobilized.

Borg vessels are supposed to blend; they look more intimidating that way. The green glow gives them away, though.

hmm, idk tyler i kinda think i agree with data, green and black just dont suit them that well..... i think the borg need to be pink, much more threatening and easier to see

I think the moving venture thing is quite good but it should have the same tech as the romulan refitted scout

Venture moving is not good for balance, while making it a Talon clone robs it of it's uniqueness.

yup gotta agree with tyler here, it would easily be op if it didnt stop. as you can choose the exact second you want the ping to appear. with talons you need to wait the full 10.

ventures arent exactly expensive, so if u lose one, but decloak an enemy fleet killing an extra combat ship or two then its a bargain. it also scares them into using cloak less as they are afraid u will ping them.

i think borg could be made more visible by increasing the green light strength, so its more visible.

what about making it like the EM scube or the manual targeting of the b'rel.
a 50 or 60 percent chance of not hitting would still make it interesting

then the feds would then have no decloak for when they arent currently cloaking. i like the current progressive scan.

The venture is fine as it is. It is cheap and extremely useful. If it was able to use its special on the move it should cost 500dil then .
