New Idea (for V4 Or V5)
posted on August 19th, 2004, 8:22 pm
Hey everyone, been awhile since i posted. 
I recently stopped in to check the status of the FO, and I am sad, for I thought for sure it would be done by now. But, good things come to those who wait, and I've got things to do in the meantime ^_^
Anyway, to the subject of the post. I had an idea about a neutral station for either Beta 4 or 5 and wanted to run it by everyone. There are going to be 8 awesome player races at the completion of this mod, but some people(including myself) wanted to see their favorite races as playable, like cardassian, breen, tholian, and my personal favorite the ferengi ^_^ .
I say make a neutral station that is called a treaty starbase or summit starbase(the name is not important) that will allow you to play with the major non-playable races, but for a price.
First, capture the station or make it like a future mercenary station. Then their would be build icons with the symbols of different races(cards, breen, etc.) You could buy a treaty with one of those races for a price (I would prefer credits for balancing issues). Once you buy the treaty, the station would build a construction ship for the race you bought the treaty from which would be under your control.
Bingo! Now you can build the techtree for your favorite non-player race!

not bad, not bad 
i think this is a feature for the final release, because i will take us years ( not really, but some time) to intergrate it, because it's complicated to build a new playable race out of nowhere. The next point is that we first want to concentrat on the main race and finisch them ( Dominion, Borg, Noxter, Ciadan and Iconian)
A nother point is, that the dominion will have some of this 'slave' races (cards,breen) as avatar

thanks for replying everyone
Detektor, I don't quite understand. Are you saying that the idea is hard to intergrate or the new playable races are hard to intergrate?
I can understand making the new major non-player races or playable races out of scratch would be hard, but this idea would be simple once you do make them.
Think of this idea as, for example, being the borg and capturing a fed main starbase. Now you are able to build the tech tree by building a construction ship.
But your right, it is a feature for final release.

Yep i think something similar to that can be integrated in a future release. But first we actually need np races i will work on them as soon as v3 (the dominion..) is completed

Did everyone catch what Detektor said? We have a hint at the Dominion avatars!
I wonder what the story will be behind these "slave" races. To my knowledge, the Breen were still a part of the Dominion at the end of DS9. As for the Cardassians, maybe there are some still loyal to the Dominion and one of these is an avatar.
