Hmh, that was idea when i first heard about avatars for FO 3.0 version. But i think that
this kind of hero system like war3 would be very difficult to apply for FO. These are my reasons: War3 units are most concetrated on melee fight, so it's very hard to be in a situation where all your units can kill enemy hero. With FO this is different, all units are able to attack single target because of ranged kind of attack. And then you won't use this hero ship in your fleet attack. And then i don't send my hero.

I want hero's that are not here because i want to command them and fly them around,
but that are usefull in combat and well balanced. If this is done i support this idea.

Hehe
Yep, Heros were planned from the very first second of Fleet Ops development. That's why i always were against scimiatars and similar things as normal units, i need them for heros in later versions.
I'm a great fan of warcraft 3, too. so you can expect some similarities between our heros and the warcraft 3 heros. But the w3 heros don't fit into fleetops for reasons already mentioned above so they will be different.
that's all i will say about this still semi-secret feature

hey I think remuns are cool the yould scare the predator out of his armor but hero ships are awlys cool i awlys make myown ship in the game it is one of my tavars

i dont think adding weekponts to the game is haw i wont to have it made i wont the player to have to find tham with new ideas.

makeing the so cald hero that whood be stronger than uther ships. just make a new way to loos not a new whay to win.

i think if ya wonted to make it a side opshon that i will be ok with. what i meen is makeing it a fercher you can tern on win cratting the game.

ok so you have a science ship of armada unmodded that is just as strong as one of the most powerfull ships you can build.


A very good rush opportunity here then. Just send your hero to the newly built mines with some small ships and bye bye mine. Because hej, Who cares if you build one turret for defence at the beginning or a few ships. because a tavara can destroy a turret easily yet alone a few ships.

And don't forget the rommies then. that hero would have a cloacking device so that would be very easy in the start. just place your cloaked ship near thebase and hit and run the enemy so that he can't build very little and have to start over building everything all the time.


armada is about fleets not about hero's. You don't see bush fighting in Iraq alone and winning or Bin laden doing it on it's own and destroys the WTC. Be realistic Even if a hero isn't that powerfull but has alot of special weapons.... who cares? You have usually enough energy to do one or 2 times a special energy weapon and what would you give such a hero unit? The ECM of the remoore class? The battle cry of the klingons? That improved cloaking thying for the rommies or those elite troops?

Those things you can already build ships for so a hero unit is useless except being good for rushes.
