Wow we have a fed nurfer on our hands what should we do with him. Actually switching the assault mode and the engine disabler is kinda interesting idk if its a good idea or a bad idea but its interesting.

My opinions:

- SFC replacement: Shield ship, a ship only buildable after long research at the end of the techtree like the bortas. The ship itself has a special ability to set up a schield wall/bubble with impressive strength into one direction. The wall can be passed through with ships, but can hold alot weapon fire but has limitid duration. Of course there should be a very low limit of such ships.
Prolly this idea needs more thinking  :sweatdrop: but i think it fits to the feds

Research to ask for a ship you can have much of and is useless against small ships?#

- switch the norways assault mode with the sovreigns special. would prolly make both ships more powerfull, but can be handled for a small increase in price

- sovreign again: last time i used that ship it still had that anoying  rank bonus with recieving less damage from unranked ships. At least in my sight its simply unrealistic and could be turned into an adidtional photon launcher (similar to the defiant, just with photons) as we know it can fire both similar

Norway is a seige ship and the Sovereigns abilities are fine. It's called experience.

- luna class buildable at the antares yard at the place where the akira is now. Its less powerfull than a akira, but still powerfull

I think they're moving the Akira soon, not sure what is replacing it.

-actually i would love to see a few of the sfc ships being buildable at the mixed tech yards. But i think there that the mixed tech ships should have some bonus points against the race where the technologie is from. This counts not only for the feds

You're probably not the only one who would like some Warp-In buildable in the mixed tech, someone's already asked about the Steamrunner. Galaxy and Descent wouldn't be there, though.

Not sure about the bonus against the race tech came from though, not that believable.

Probably wouldn't give much of an advantage in ST if the Klingons knew exactly how Fed phasers work, the particles and strength info would be obtainable from Klingon sensors. Against the Borg however, it might certainly help if their weapons are so far ahead of what the other races can do.

optec already mentioned that the races are going to have a redo on another thread.

I agree with the statement that most of those are less requests than questions of game play experience. But the idea of switching the engine nuker and the norway's mode is interesting. It would make it a lot easier to retreat a federation fleet with a half dozen norways than with two or three sovereigns, while turning the sovy's essentially into mini descent's where the assault mode = the decy's double shields. Could change up federation game play a lot. Maybe not for the best, but if properly balanced...

and I do think giving mixed tech vessels a bonus against their originating race makes sense. the borg already have this. It wouldn't necessarily have to be strictly in defense or offense hard numbers; such as granting any mixed romulan tech the ability to detect a cloaked vessel passively, since it still takes comparatively long to build mixed tech stuff, it wouldn't unbalance the game hugely unless your game goes really long.

I think warp in stuff for the feds should stay at the SFC though; why would grabbing a dominion construction vessel grant you the ability to build a steamrunner or ex1? (form a story-telling PoV at least) Captured tech should continue to either build upgrades or entirely new classes.
