Shuttles, More Wessels, And Older Models

posted on January 6th, 2005, 5:54 am

Heres an idea! Mabye have ships of a certain size be able to build shuttles and have them dock and undock. Like for intrep have the delta flyer. and for starbases have the runabout. I saw a nice mod a while ago that allowed for ships, stations to have shuttles. Also there should be more ships that can be built. A way could be have a sepecial sci sta research ship types and sta types. And a good way to add more ships is to bring in alot of the older ships with older weaps. Evan thou their weaps were weak thay still could be used as a defensive or minor offensive. In "The Search For Spock" the Excelcior had a "transwarp drive". so have a special shipyard build the older "wessels" and a special ship to build the older stations. To build these stations have diff levels of type and have a diff ship for each level. aka: Old, minor, yard, starbase, basic, advanced, experamental, future. and if there were a way have a way to get futuristic ships thru a transtime wormhole. Hell there are plenty of ways to have alot of ships and stations for all races. Plus you could have an option to use diff techtrees like: Lengondary, TOS era, TNG era, Voy era, Enterprise era. That way if someone wanted to use all older ships like constitution and Rom BOS. And a way to justify it is to make up ships that aint evan been seen befor because i garentee that feds aint seen all rom wessels. And since they've built the ships befor there would be no reason to discard all const knowledge of them. Another good adition would be some fighter class wessels like periguin from TNG and Delta Flyer from Voy. Also some drone wessels would be nice like a probe that can be controled and told where to go and to turn. There are plenty of possibilities you just gota think of how in depth can i make the game. heck the more the wessels the more advanced the game is. And a good thing to have would be some type of weap for a const ship evan if it disables weaps and engines on enemies. The whole ship sep and merge is awsome like the Prometheus, at least i think it was, in VOY that split into three ships and the Galaxy can sep sauser and stardrive.

Ok lets do this.

Think the shuttle thing was already gone thru and denied.

I wanted older ships too but that was denied.

Were getting peregrines fighters and a carrier, of course delta flyer isn't fighter.

Already got probe.

Prommie will be thrown in but no separation for it or Galaxy.

Well if the older ships were in it could also be a patch same with shuttles and seperation

Of course it could but I think they got enough on their hands just completing the regular versions.

Well.. I would love to see some Old Consitution Class Refits, Excelsior Class, and its Refit, somehow, perhaps you can build from abandoned shipyards on maps? I would love to have those... I mean, What is the fun wiht Star Trek games with old classic ships?!!!

the excelcior's transwarp drive was a experiment of starfleet and a falure

having "carriers" will be really nice

jus if you gave the excelcior transwarp drive you whood have to give it to uther ships 2. uther wise it whood not make sents.

Wasn't there something about the environmental impact too? Kinda the same reason the intrepids have movable necelles?

not only was it sabatoged but the concept the federation was using at the time was flawed and as sorce i site the book Star Trek The Lost Era: Serpents among the ruins. and besides that if the feds had transwarp then wouldn't the use it.

And the enviromental damage was for speeds of warp factor 5 and higher

I would like to see mabey an emergancy juckyard, for those really last ditch efforts that cost officers, and could be for the federation, where ships like the excelcior and others have to be called in and like the warp in ships but earlier much earlier, and you could only have two at a time that are again really weak becasue they are from a junkyard but they are good for real quick base defence

Excelsiors are still being used in the federation so it makes little since for them to be from a junkyard...

No 2380 Starfleet Yard does still produce Excelsior Class vessels, that's why they won't be in. Besides that many of them got los in the Dominion war, most of them got replaced (if you look in the time table many of them should be in service for more then 20 years then, enough to replace them with newer vessels. same what happend to Kirk's Enterprise once)
Therefore you will only be able to find a excelsior derelict or build it at special neutral yards for example. But not in active service for the Federation
