New Races

I really enjoy fleets ops. It really outshines the orignal armanda games. I read that you do not plan on adding races such as 8472 or the Cardassians as they would be considered minor races and have no place in a story line. I think players would enjoy having to option to play as them in a multi player game thow. There is already lots of contect for ships and stations. I know I would. Right now you have 2 choices for the Domian that are basicly the same other then 2 breen ships. Maybe add the Cardassian fleet to the Domian?

Welcome to the cummunity.

While the Cardassians won't be playable, they are planned as an NPC race with a few ships and stations, that you can take over or hire the services of. 8472 will be a tiny number of map units (probably just the battleship).

As for Cardassians in the Dominion, not likely. Not after the way the Dominion enslaved them, then treid to erase them entirely from existence. That is one of the most common (and logical) points of view present here.

This will give more detailed information on the races: Apocrypha

I have read the entire thing. In fact I printed it out! One of the arguments about 8472 is that they would be too powerful balance the game. If you recall both the Borg and the Jem'Hadar* greatly over powered the Federaton etc, but bot were defeted. You can never count out the Cardies!

Borg had fatal flaws that are somewhat easy to exploit (predictable and hackable), while the Dominion only had 2 advantages which were kinda easily countered; massive numbers and poleron weapons. 8472 is not so easy to deal with.

The Cardassian race is on Life support, they're no threat to minor regional powers in their state. In their best years, they struggled to compete with Starfleet and needed to out-think them. They lost their greatest minds, and with them the only thing they have to allow them to compete with the superior Starfleet.

Ok, that may be going a little too far! 

Welcome to the cummunity.

I really hope that is a typo.  A cummunity could be rather messy.

As we remember the cardassians broke away from the dominion, the son'a however would jion the dominion.

I geuss I am going to have to agree about the Cardassians. Their part is played out like the Gorn or the Tholians. I still see 8472 as an important part of Stat Trek, when compaird to a race that has been gone for 10,000 years. A race that is brought up once in TNG, and a race that I can out assume is an off shoot if the Changlings which I cannot recall. Sill all are awsome!

O & U are very close together... not something that goes well with my habit of not watching what I type...

Got the rape mod too ?

As for races....  Hydrans are fun.




Post Dom war era Hydrans could be interesting.......... prehaps have the story be that the Klingons are making a try for them once again, causing issues between the Klingons and the Federation ?

Not that one, but have an item that allows just about anything with any NPC... forget what its called.  Also for Morrowind had the Underground mod by AlienSlorf... that was... disturbing.

As for races.... nah, who needs to be on-topic
