Ok, if this has been asked then sorry all. I was wondering if in a patch, if we could get the miranda,ambassador,galaxy,nebula,constillation ( SP?) AS buildable ships?

Heyho,

well older vessels wont be in as buildable ships, as they are outdated in the Fleet Operations timeline, but you will see some of them as warpin vessels in the future patches

don't forget that this is not federation operations some other mods (i am not talking only about armada mods) do have the problem that they have like 40 or something types of federation vessels in the game but then about 20 for the other races. and that's something i do not really like.

Not only that, but most of the time they end up being a scrap yard comapired to the other races. You don't exactly see germans using panzers and tiger anymore do you. Adding more junky old vessels to the warp in would add redudancy with other new models that would make a far better addition. This is after all Flet Ops not Kirk Ops. New awsome designs is what this mod needs for all races, experimental new designs, not old looking junk ships with refits.

however, remeber, that you DO, see the feds using older ships, of course refited and upgraded a bit, i mean look at the dominion war, the greater part of the fleet was composed of excelsiors and mirandas, and the rest had some older, and new ships to ,ambasador, galaxy, defiant etc.

Maybe there should be a new warp-in for older ships, then change it so that so that you can get a lot of older ships, some modern ships, or one experimental ship.

i did suggest that as an idea, in another post, with you getting alot of older ship being able tp upgrade them, and not as many newer ships, to reflect the feds use of older ships

its called warp in , or somthing like that, however fleet ops never commented on it, *hint*hint*hint*

but i agree it would almost be nice if you could choose it, cus itd be nice to warp in some more steamrunner, but older ships, yeah lets get the nx01 enterprise!, offenseive value 3 defense 2, lol, actualy with refit itd be higher, but still pribably mining

Yes you see them doing that, but one would actually think that after being almsot ass kickt by the dominion ( lets suppose thehero crew never existed cause they almost all the time have super hero powers ... what would have happen - alpha quadrant under dominion power if you ask me ), and seeing how a large federation fleet was destroyed by a single borg cube, they won't do the same mistake twice. I know humans are retarded when it comes to mistakes, but the federation is also formed with other species. Plus if this was according to the movies, you would see a heroic defiant bring the end of a dreadnaught or a single dreadnaught fireing a barrage of topredoes. You don't see this in the game. This is in the future. I really can't understand why you would wanna see those old looking ulgy vessels and not new high tech looking ones. If it's to be done, maybe make it a new warpin as suggested for old vessels only ( excelsior 1 included ) and add 1-2 new designs for the std warpin, and maybe at least one more for the experimental.

Just a thought - some of us (myself being a guilty party) would definitely like to see maybe the Ambassador Class and others as a warp-in. BUT, if we made more of a lineup of older Federation ships available I would think it wouldn't be fair on players of other races to have even more Federation ships.

Unless other races had some way of getting older ships? Unlikely though, because a) they tend to be more willing to scrap their older vessels when new ones come out b) they're not as nostalgic with older stuff like us humans.

(Klingons are a slight exception to this, what with the K'tinga and Bird-of-Prey types still being used in the Dominion War.)

Their is an easy way to add them, you know ho0w if you pick Fed and go to instant battle. You get 2 options to choose from. Simply make a picture of Picard and add a 3rd playable fleet option to play from. Make it TNG/DS9 era with older models. Just a thought.

The idea of a timeline mode is nice, but that should be an overall thing, not an avatar for one race.

Considering new ships, well the only thing i wish for, is a second option for experimental warp-in.
Right now it should be named Descent warp-in

if you wanted to have a different timeline it would be better to use the techtree file, but maybe as a for a later release. using the techtree you could use all of the different eras of star trek, but like it said it would be a cool feature for future release.

I like the idea of a time line but I am worried if the Fo team took that on having the game move thew time from the berth of the federation to the place in time we are now, they wold not even have time to sleep.
