Just can't help watching Insurrection without getting another idea.
Wondering if the Son'a could be added to the race list as a buildable or non-buildable race (preferably buildable). Now there is one forseeable problem with this race, there is only 4 ships shown on the movie, the Son'a Battleships, a Son'a Destroyer, that thing they were using to take the Particals/Radiation that turns back time for organic tissue (great single player mission idea), and some sleek shuttles. I don't believe they were in any shows unless they were in DS9, which I never saw...yet. Now if there are other Son'a ship schematics somewhere or you guys pull a brain-storming session, I think they would be a nice cannon race for your lovely mod here.
A good reason for this is their subspace weapons, for the people missing powerful super-weapons this race would be your answer. Of course these weapons won't be like a Romulan Pheonix class cloaked above your sovern fleet and should only be on the Son'a Battleship (even though their other warships are equiped with them) and should cost about 2 credits, but if scaled right I bet they could work well. As far as I can see this is another race using a form of Photon Torpedos and Phasers alot like those the Federation uses.

(A Son'a Battleship getting it's funk on with Photon Torpedos vs Enterprise)
The Son'a super weapons are called Isolytic subspace charges which cause subspace tears that can envelope any ship thets not fast enough to avoid them. These can be used alot like the Klingon Bortas class except it fires a Torpedo first which causes the tear. These weapons were banned by the Second Khitomer Accord but not every race signed...

(Enterprise-E attempting to outrun the subspace tear and tries to detonate the Warp Core to stop it, which of course succeeds because it's the Enterprise
)
This race could also be a non-buildable but I would'nt mind having limited access to these kinds of weapons. Sorry if this post is kinda big, alot of good pics and me making sure you wont turn me down again

hm.. would be interesting... but i think there are not enough ship classes known about it, as u already said..
btw. i didnt saw them beside the one movie... or there lil feature as a guest in armada1.
but i´m missing a few races as well as this.. like the suliban...oO( didnt saw all the seasons of enterprise so i dont know what happened to them) or the races from the starfleet universe like the gorn and hydrans, which could be a nice feat as well from my point of view, and could replace the noxter or so on... cause i played this birth of the federation mod, and it was fun as hell to play with this lil suliban ballships

The Son'a would make an interesting race. You didn't see any of them in DS9 but there was a quick mention about them working with the Dominion to help them. They have really cool looking ships but I'm not sure if there is enough of them for a buildable race.

Well hey, 2 or 3 of the fed ships we got right now arnt real and half of the Romulans ships arnt, almost none of those Klingon battleships are real, it would be alot simpler then it seems to make up a few.

I agree. Why don't we start thinking of some of our own designs for the Son'a, based upon the designs we have seen. That's what we have been doing for all the other races, and we even made up the Noxter race from scratch, (unless it really was in the show, and I havn't seen it).
I say it's certainly worth the try. But I don't decide if it is a definate. lol. Let's wait for Optec or Doca's vote.

I think the Son'a should replace the noxter. If not that, then at least be instated as an addon race. Since most of the ships in FO aren't cannon, I don't think it would matter if we made them up based on cannon designs (as was said above ^^^).

Welcome to the forums, yeah this could work out well, and we could add alot of small Alpha and Beta quadrant races like this on, like the Breen for instance as fully playable.

it's to much work to make all this races playable and continue the fleet ops standard.. therefore they wil be mercenaries and np races.. and of course the sone will be in someday, too
