Since we have confirmed the inclusion of mercenaries in the game, would it be feasible to specifically allow only certain specific races as mercenaries to a certain specific player race.
To flesh this out a bit:
feds:
-Detapa council militia
- Ferengi (not as fighting ships, but as bringers of research and bonuses)
or instead of the Ferengi we could have Tholians.
Dominion:
- Gorn
- Cardassian dissident militia
Romulans:
- Tholians
- Obsidian order Cardies (including keldons with cloaks).
- maybe even Remans (if included)
Klingons:
-tholians with differnt stats (even differnt ships to the rom tholians)
-Gorn mercenaries
Borg - no mercenaries. they assimilate and do not care for "hiring" or allies.
-- maybe 8472 sa recently suggested in another thread. but 8472 destroys all in sight as it did in A2.
Noxter - too - insects, no communications as we know it - so no mercenaries.
** besides the borg have a hard enough time as it is, in getting resources to build their own ships**
Each mercenary will have its own stats for each race that hires it.
For example, the gorn hired by the Klingons will have different stats to the Gorn hired by the Dominion for example.
we could also have unique ship classes available for each mercenary race, for each player race that hires them - so the Dominion Gorn would have different ships being available for hire to the Klingon gorn for example.
Any ideas?
