Some mixed tech revising.

posted on February 12th, 2010, 2:00 am

Okay, there are only 3 designs per yard. Well. I'd like to take it up a notch! Everyone, get ready for an idea that you may disagree with, but may make FO more interesting. Blue means new (except the Fed title), Yellow means same but tweaked. Plain means it stays the same. If it is missing, that means it is removed.

Very extensive.  Some of the small-mid sized ships are very nicely changed.



TOO MANY BATTLESHIPS IN THE MIXED TECH YARDS.

*ahem

  No Negh'Var's in the Mixed Tech Yard plzzzzzz.  Big D's maybe ... but they are not fast vessels nor are they the strongest battleships.  Only Puretech V-13's are stronger than a Negh'var in terms of stats.  No way to all these Bships.

  Also:  B-5's CANNOT be long range.  They shouldn't even have medium range on the Puretech version.  They are currently VERY fast and hard to kill because of the fact that enemy vessels always target the fighters when they are moving.  They HAVE to move to hope to keep up with a fleeing B-5 and therefore never get to train their firepower on the B-5's themselves.

  Excessive Strike turning off shields?  So three ships get hit per V-13 and lose their shields?  With all do respect, what on earth are you thinking here?    The Nebula Class in A1 had something like this.  UBER OP.

  Again, standard battleships shouldn't be in the mixed tech facilities.  Heavy Cruisers, maybe, but not the top-line Battleships.  Dreads are the only exception I'm ok with as they are ONLY available through mixed tech .

we have some ideas to redo mixed-tech in the near future, but we want to avoid featuring battleships in mixed tech. Mixed-Tech is ment to be an interessting addition, but not an replacement. But lets see what the future holds

Okay, though, what do you think of the rest of them? Which mid-sized is really good with the changes? Any new changes you can specifically mention you'd think of as interesting?

Rhienn Support Refit sounds cool but what did you have in mind

posted on February 12th, 2010, 5:09 pm

Basically a lot of interesting things... one of them being the Phase Cloak.

Though I also thought of there being abilities that would also fit the scenario "What would a Human and a Romulan in the same room together come up with for technology?" type of deal. Something that really makes it feel like mixed tech.

Also I'd like to add that the dom, is the only mix tech that allows the fed to build an otherwise un accessible ship model, the miranda 2. I think each mixed tech should offer a ship that is otherwise not accessible in any shape or modified form.

I liked the sabre tweak, though I'd like to see her outfitted with a permanent torpedo launcher.

alrighty then, that called using your di stick jimmy!!!! lol.

The Klingons have the D'jen, the Romulans have the Saheir.  All of the races have at least one unique mixed-tech ship.

And they'll even get more in the future! So saying that the other factions don't get a unique ship is bunk Owlde Greg

BUNK I SAY!


  I still would loooove to see the Miranda II as a standard ship and get a new vessel for mixed.  It's just such a classic design and it would make so many of us so happy to have a miranda-vessel as standard .

Hehe, perhaps it would be cool, but t'aint happening as far as the Devs are concerned 

Just wait 'till more mixed-tech only designs come - then I'm sure a lot of us will be clamoring for them to be introduced into the main line-up

Then what? A Saber II? That would be weird...
