[Request] - Prometheus Class

posted on May 17th, 2011, 11:51 am

I have a few requests for the Prometheus Class.

1 - It needs more hardpoints.  It only has hardpoints for the dorsal phaser strips, and nothing else.
2 - The MVAM button needs to be added.
3 - It needs it's own set of weapons complete with passive calculations.
4 - I would like for it to be included either as an experimental warp-in or as a buildable ship.

[Request] - Wait until they actually work on it before you complain.

Why complain about a placeholder that's barely even a beta ship?

It's just a placeholder?  In that case, never-mind.

The first two are reasonable requests, but the others are way pushing it man.  As tyler said, the devs have stated on many occasions that the ship is a place holder.  A quick forum search would have told you that...

Yes, it was just to demonstrate the ability to have a working MVAM at the time

AFAIK the Prometheus is a WIP. I'd love to see it added in the near future though, but we'll need some patience.

One ship i hope will be added as well is the Achilles-Class from DS9 Dominion Wars
Achilles - DS9: Dominion Wars

Hopefully as buildable unit, but offensive warp-in would be nice too.

Why is the Federation building Triangular saucer sections these days?  I like the ovals better.

They're building them because they felt like a change, which is as good a reason as any.

"Change" isn't always good.

It also isn't always bad, nor does it always do anything at all. Oval saucers are a result of changing cosmetic interests.

Also making the ships look meaner.

Not the word I'd use... they look less mean when oval. Mean is not aword that should be applied to any Starfleet ship, except maybe the Defiant.

I meant the triangular saucers looked meaner.

Ah, I thought you meant the oval ones looked meaner 

I'm lost now...

In my humble opinion the triangular saucer section look horrible. I don't like them at all. But to all their own preferences and tastes I guess.
