Random Idea

I was wondering if some Star Wars ships (as easter eggs) in the map editor could be added as a low piority task.

I know some Star Trek fans hate everything to do with Star Wars, but there are many more who like SW as well, and just because some people complain doesn't mean that it won't be a good addition.  I, personally, would find it quite enjoyable seeing how many Defiants it takes to knock out an ISD.

Forget the ISD, its the Death Star Vs Borg Tactical Cube you want.

Umm, you joking? 

Tac cube = 3 kilometers

Death Star = 160 kilometers


I don't care what your ST vs SW perspective is, the Tactical Cube has no hope.

Oh, and I don't think that the borg's regenerative shielding will have much effect on a superlaser...

The thing with lasers is their very inneficient, requiring massive amounts of power to operate.  So while the deathstar's superlaser might do so damage as it's got a moon-sized power source, blasters on fighters, even sd turbolasers will be hopeless against shields from star trek.  Also, I don't think any defensive shielding from sw have been tested against matter-antimatter reactions.  Photon torps will be unstoppable, not to mention quantum.  Then there's the matter of speed.  The millenium falcon, 1.5 lightspeed?  how about one million lightspeed!  The empire's resources and superweapons will no doubt provide a chalenge for members of st, but ultimately sw tech is way behind.  Cardassians could also probably cripple the deathstar with a dreadnaught missile.  Also, about the tac cube, they could just beam a bunch of borg drones on board and assimilate the entire deathstar!  Hand held lasers will be easily adapted to by borg shields.  Maybe a lightsaber would have a chance, for a while...  Uh, then there's the force.  We'll just hit the jedi with a few phaser shots at level 16.  A glancing hit will entirely disintegrate him, hitting the ground at his feet will probably be enough!

Theres something the Fleet Ops team can do as a consider-only turn on and off-able patch. Star Wars, change the entire mod to reflect the SW universe but I have a feeling they'll dismiss it. Would be fun to experience the Star Wars universe in Fleet Operations style.

I believe that you misunderstand.

I don't mean buildable in-game, but rather something that mapmakers can add to their maps if they wish to.

I'm not talking about that, I'm onto another related subject.

Oh, yeah.

I do have a feeling that they'd dismiss it.  I thing it adds a tad bit too much work to the project.

that has nothing to do with star trek and some fans[ME] would be crushed at the thought
besides, star wars is more about many small fighters where as star trek in about huge ships a gabillion tons of phaser power

Star Wars has MANY more huge ships than Star Trek...

Oh, and congrats on the promotion, ADMIRAL Adama.

Finaly
i figured out after 8 months how to change my name

It took me a while as well.  And when I finally need to do it, I can't access my account because the new forum setup didn't like my name.
