Noxter And 8472 On The Same Game!

It would be very cool to have two Species like that on the same map battling each other or allied against some other poor souls. If its creativity you want, that is creative. That would give you a great reason to play Noxter or 8472.

Don't think their bringing in spieces 8472 since they got the Noxter. They will be a large unplayable race though.

I like species 8472 alot, and my only real problem with fleet ops is that they'll probibly never be a playable race, but at least they will be featured more as a non-playable race which makes up for it abit.

You can already put spieces 8472 battleships and frigates on maps, so were not totally 8472less.

Yeah, but it’s not the same experience as being able to play as them yourself, or going up against a large base.

Its too bad that we won't play as species 8472, but its ok since the noxter and roughly the same, they only differ in ships.

BTW: will you be able to take major NP races on the map, will they have their own con ship? I know you couldnt take species 8472, but this could be done for cardassians, breen,....

The possibility of that gets a big thumbs up from me, i have also liked the idea of more random np race actions on the map, as an example you could be out scouting space only to come across a Cardassian convoy passing through the map, if you get to close the Cardassian ships will break from the convoy and engage your ships, or if a smaller race for example the Ferengi launched random raids on your base in an attempt to steal supplies, just some things that would be make the experience more fun, if you had to watch out for these things as well as your opponent.

yep. i think version 4.0 will bring most of the stuff to you. random np vessels guarding your expensions? fluidic rifts opening in the middle of your base? mercenary stations where you can hire galor class vessels? ferengi outpost where you can trade?
yep it's a far way till there but the space will be as lively as it is in startrek some day just give us time

Tasty, I look forward to seeing the results, but those ideas certainly meet/exceed what i was hoping for

any way with the map editor you can doit so that you start of with 8472 ships and when we get more ships and stations we will be able to build an 8472 race to play with the only problem is that there won't be any 8472 as proper character race but as i said you can still start off with them its just that you will start off with the other race as well.
