Flagships

I was thinking that for fleets you could make one or two ships, flagships.  And they would have special abilities pertaining to the fleet, and also increased stats.  Just a thought, to make the game more interesting.

Just the Cube or Locutus himself?

I have Flagships in stock and all previous versions of FO and they never went well with the AI.

There's already something like a flagship in the mod. I noticed that the Descent gets a bonus called "flagship".
How exactly does it affect the unit in particular or other ships?

(Yeah.. some kind of off-topic but I'd like to know anyway  )

hmm i havetn see n that on descent what and when does it happen, and if your asking me how flagships would affect it, well the actual ship/s would be more powerful and could have an extra special weapon, and a special weapon pertaining to the fleet, such as evasive manuevers or somthing like that

You get it when your Descent has achieved two golden bars. (Or was it the Sovereign?  I had both in that fleet.)

, and if your asking me how flagships would affect it, well the actual ship/s would be more powerful and could have an extra special weapon, and a special weapon pertaining to the fleet, such as evasive manuevers or somthing like that

Especially the last part sounds cool. Some passive special ability granted by the flag ship. 
I like it.

It's the Sovereign, I know because I keep getting hit by a fleet of them.

The Sovereign never seemed like a flagship to me. It's more like an advanced heavy cruiser.

I've always seen the Sovereign as the 'Flagship Class', as in simply the class that the Flagship (USS Enterprise-E) happens to be. Cruiser? The ship seems more like a Dreadnought.

A dreadnought would be the Dominion battleship, but the E has less decks than the D but more firepower. To me that makes it seem more like a lighter, faster battlecruiser or h.cruiser type.

The Sovereign is far from 'light', so I'd put it as a Cruiser/Dreadnought hybrid.

Not light like a saber, just less armored than a Jem'Hadar Battleship.
