Luna Class

Sounds pretty interesting

The specials are interesting, but as i mentioned earlier almost direct copies of some of the most powerful specials found in the game. Putting them together on a ship would seriously be a bad idea.

An extra torpedo, sensor blackout variant and assault mode/EC3M all in one ship. If you want that combo, better make it very expensive or at least level 3 chassis.

I think the design is absolutely not bad and making it a risner replacement for the intrepid class is brilliant!!! The torpedo idea is also need. Maybe it should be a little bigger in size than the intrepid.
And by the way why not giving the avatars more than 2 specific ship classes?  Would make the game even more interesting

you make some good points and good examples,

And btw, the  assualt mode is exclusive to mayson, that would give somthing simaliar to risner....
As for values i was thinking
A =19
D =25
S =23
and if all else fails, Chassis lvl 3 and the eradi yard would probly wrk... but i'd prefer to keep it chassis 2.


P.S.you have me confused... sota... do you thiink the Trp special would allw it to fire more torps? as if it had additional base arrmement torps aswell?. because i said before, its only base armment would be a phaser, nothing more.

Sorry for the confusion i thought about it. The ship having just one phaser is fine with me.
How about giving the ship some kind of long range weaponssystems boost for lets say 5 to 8 sec.
And just during this time the torpedos coming to bear (excuse my english)
I mean not necessary firing more torpedos just increased range.
That ability would make it maybe a very good supportship especially in situations where you are forced to retreat
Therefore making the ship not faster than an akira class ship.

But the EC3M on the Canaveral is not. I still think all 3 specials on 1 single vessel would be a bad idea.

I second that!

I don't think it would make a good replacement for the intrepid.  I consider it higher tier than an akira.   It would be an awesome avatar replacement for the akira though.

The Akira forms the bulk of Risner fleets, taking it away would probably hurt more than help. If we trade it out for the Intrepid but make it Chassis 2. we could accomplish both at once. At the same time though, this would hurt starting Risner forces, giving them only Monsoons to work with.

i don't think replacing a unit is the anser... risners starting balence lineup is really solid..... but addind as a final antires yard supprt would be great.

Hmmm perhaps chassis 2 Antares yard for Risner. I like the idea of a support ship. But the 3 specials are definately tough to come up with.

I wouldn't mind something that boosts the attack range of a single vessel for short period of time. You call it "Sensor Triangulation"

I don't think the Feds have anything like that.

The Luna Class isn't an overpowered killing machine like the Akira or the Sovereign. It was designed for long-range exploration and weapons only to defend itself, but its weaponry is not enough for being a successful tactical cruiser for example.

I love that Sensor triangulation-like weapon btw

Actually there are as many different views of the Luna's exact role as there are plot-holes in Star Trek: The first contact and Star Trek:Nemesis together

I think the Luna is a more scientific counterpart to the Akira.
And I think FO does need no more fed-vessels than mentioned on the dev's to-do-list, because these are already many for a RTS and it will be difficult enough to give most of them really or at least quite unique roles.
