Some Minor Changes (especially Ships), I Request

Eh. The regeneration ability is a, nice idea, but doesn't really affect the gameplay in a giant manner. Yes, it's ok for after you are in a battle, and you don't have to worry about repairing one ship at a time, but it really has no use when you are the one under attack, but by a superior force. Regeneration then only give you back like 1-4 hitpoints every few seconds, and you're basically losing three or four times that amount, when the ship is being harrassed by all sides.

If you make alot of ships like your suppose to, yes it does. They also have a wild card, nebulas. They are invinsible in nebulas because of their regenerating hulls and since they already dont use shields. Now if you get one of their breeders in a nebula, it isnt comming back out.

Hhhhmmmmm, the only way I can think of destroying it is, with those romulan long range artillery. Is there any other way???

I think that noxter should be replaced, by lets say species 8472, they are played roughly the same, and they would only have to replace the models. ^_^

Yea, Species 8472 had alot more of a story. There ships were cool too. Watch out when you see a fleet of 8 battleships, and a frigate at the center of a flying circle, or you'll be screwed over 100 times.

That would be so much fun to have them because you can let them be like the Borg whereas 1 ship costs alot but does alot of damage.

P.S. I thought it was 7 battleships in a circle and 1 in the center that fires that huge ass Biobeam, I could be (probably am) wrong but seems like thats what they did.

In A2 I thought you had to have 8 Battleships to make the fun to gun giant Biobeam.

In A2 it's one frigate, and between 4 and 8 battleships

Code: Select all

multiReqClass0 = "8472_frigate"
multiReqMin0 = 1
multiReqClass1 = "8472_battle"
multiReqMin1 = 4
multiReqMax1 = 8

Yeah that beam is a very good weapon in theory, but in my experiance they dont go into place in time when they are in combat situation.

mh well species 8472 will be in the mod of course, but it is planed as a non playable race.. but as any non playable race you will be able to hire their ships at some neutral station on certain maps.
i don't want them to be a playable race, cause there isn't much known of them and i believe the unknown is what makes them so special
