yep, most probably there will be heros in a future version of fleet operations. they will be something in the middle of the warcraft system and the flaggship idea. you will see

I would like a hero ship, maybe even make a new form of game where you have to protect it or else you lose. I don't think it should get more powerful over time tho.

What about using the same system as the new heros mod, where you start off with a shuttle which then fuses with a ship to make it a hero ship.

However, imagine a Star Trek series beginning with some guy in a shuttle... then he finds or a yard builds another ship. The shuttle comes along and both ships fuse to a USS "put the name of the series here".

Wouldn't this be the point at which you take your remote control to zap to the next channel, shouting "Such a nonsense, they ruined Star Trek"?

I think, for gameplay it could be nice. But there are compromises that are ok and there are ones that are impossible.

I would say that shuttle fusion thing would be ... inappropriate.

i was thinking, and i came up with an idea. wouldn't it be nice to have flagships, every player would pick a flagship (the ship could be changed during the game), and if you wanted to negotiate the flagships would have to meet to trade with dil,tri,crew and supplies. If the flagship is destroyed you lost all control over your ships, until you select another one, also the flagship should have the name of the player(for ex. uss hypercube ). The ship would also gain technology and improved shilding and weapons

i think this is da best idea so far!!
