Flagships

posted on March 11th, 2009, 6:04 am

I had the idea that maybe any race could have one flagship, like an upgrade that could be used only once or until your flagships space dust.

Of course only certain ship classes could be your flagship, for the Feds the sovie or maybe descents, but certainly not a saber (as funny as it would be, the U.S.S. Useless  ).

And what does an flagship do ? Well it get´s a slight increase in stats and some effect on all your ships in range, depending on race, but nothing overpowered.

I hope you like the idea and maybe have some special ideas about race features and eligible ship classes.

And sorry if any thread in existence already discussed this, i looked around but found nothing

let me just say that in few months ive been here i have been invloeved in 3 flagship posts, and i think there were more,

it has been talked about extensivly, but i think we can reopen the topic, you might want to serch for the flaghship posts to, to see what was talked about, i notice you say you cant find any, go into forums, and type flagships, in the serch box i guarentee youll find some

my idea below was also discussed in some posts, and i love it

you are able to select one (or two) ship/s to become a flag ship(this is the best idea) they are only flagships while they are grouped in theat fleet, but dont need to travel with the ships in the fleet

once they become flagships(by either of the options above) they automaticaly get a boost in offense and definse, and system maybye about +ten,

they also recieve and extra special ability, and extra rate of fire, and engine boost

maybye an aditional number of personal, and a astetic facelift,(special markings, more plating, etc.)

the biggest thing is this, the one or two flagships(one may just be a backup, like system of command)
have a field comand ability, which means, when other ships (could or could not have to be in its specific fleet) are within a certain radius(used by adding an extra system to the flagship, which has its range circle(like sensor and weapon) and is only enable when the ship is made a flagship, the ships in that circle, get a small boost, such as 1.1 times increase in fire,

and also a big thing, all of the fleets special weapons are on the flagships selection view, and one button controls the special abilities of all(support ships can be set to one of the 3, and have there own button) either way its so you only have to click one or two buttons

well thats about it, those are my thoughts

What you say is quite like my idea, only a too much in my opinion.

Damn, i knew this post must be redundant

actually i like to think that they already know what we would like to see and then decide to do it cuz i think they have been planning to do it for a long time.

Also i dont think that they are creating this mod for us however i think we benefit from the mod they create for themselves.

If they created that mod just for themselves, what´s that site and the download for ?
