Son'a Ideas

Kinda, the FO version is far less combat-capable than the movie one. That one had weapons more like a runabout than the shuttle-level one we have.

Still doesn't make things look much better for the Son'a, though...

here is an idea ...what if the starbase could also process supply but at a slower rate then the synthesizer . .....that way a dominion player could transition to the synthesizer and makes for a more smooth change over to supply mining. this could be something that the son'a could do ?

A worthy necro-thread .


   I very much like Mal and Dom's idea for the third avatar.  I do hope some of these ideas make it in alongside a lot of the new possibilities that have come up within a year .

And it happened a 2nd (or is it 3rd) time..

Anyway since the Son'a are going to replace the Breen as a Dominion faction (or going to be the 3rd faction beside tech and Breen) we may as well use this necro to throw in some ideas.

The Son'a seem to focus on genetics/chemistry/subspace weapons and robotics.
Some of the ideas which come to mind are:
- Increased Ketracel white production (or warp-in with KW supplies).
- SW have already been proposed, but perhaps something that can make this weapon backfire. Massive hit, but possibility to blow up own ship.
- Robotics (they used a lot of remote controled drones) so perhaps we can use that old A1 (or was it A2) Cardassian special from launching attack drones.
- Genetics: Launch torpedoes with micro-organisms with hull damage over time (again former Cardassian special)

I'd love to see some more ideas here.

the b5 currently has an interesting special. the puretech b5 gets better base performance in speed/range, the breen b5 gets better torps, maybe the sona b5 could get the usefulness of the special increased because that special is about killing life support with biotechnobabble.

or maybe make the special more powerful, but unique to the sona b5, also it is without research, and the sona b5 gets neither of the bonuses from puretech or breen.

to clarify, the other 2 b5s don't get the special at all. they could get a weaker and less interesting generalist special that needs research. and the sona b5 might get that special with research as well. it would be a plain special, as the other 2 avatars get their bonuses which make their b5 interesting.

Though the B5 is somewhat of a favorite in the FO community i simply don't like it.
Then again i don't like the entire concept of a carrier in a Star Trek game.

Perhaps a mine layer for the Son'a instead of the B5. We've seen the Dominion use mines (though in ground combat: Houdini's ) and combined with the sneaky nature of the Son'a it could fit right in.

The Son'a don't strike me as an offensive race, that is the Jem Hadar and Breen in the dominion.
Perhaps some sort of defensive structure or a torpedo upgrade for the beam turret.
