Squadrons

posted on November 16th, 2004, 11:39 pm

I think that small ships like the sabre and the Bird of Prey would better if you could put the in a wing or squadron that would monuver and move like one ship. This could be achieved with a fuison type special weapon that made the them one ship. The problem is that they would be be destoryed as one ship. To stop this you could make each ship a pod linked to the main ship. Now each ship could be destroyed indepentantly. If the mian ship was destroyed the two "pods" would be come one seperate ship.

Absolutely. Maybe fusing four destroyers into a single unit. That would make 64 ships to a fleet ... yes yes yes yes. Especially those B'rels that build so fast, so you could make a great cheap blockading force that's easy to maneuver.

I always wanted those little Attack Fighters, but it never came into reality, I would love it if it is implemented into FO...

Feds are already getting fighters, but collhand idea is good too. would be nice to combine 16 ships into 1 single unit so you could control everything. Doubt it's possible tho.

I like the idea for the KLingons and the Dominon that seems to be the two races which it would fit most, but I thought only the borg were going to have this "fusing" technology?

I think it's possible for the fused models to belong to any race, it's just up to the FO team to do what they want with it, and what's possible within the A2 engine.

the current fighters don't work as selectable units. they are launched from a fighter carrier (there are 2 in v3, the federation avalon class and the dominion battlecruiser) and attack an enemy automatically

It wouldn't "Fusion" it would just be a modifed version the combined the units in to one.

how about this then building Attack fleets

say 6 bops build as one unit instead of many

or even better how about u give the option of building special fleets like say

Klingon Hit and run fleet

6 bops

can all cloak move in attack formation

hm... yea.. i gues he´s right bout that.. not build as fleets, but maybe around the formation options and connect them with the shortcuts (to select fleets) ? *thinkin*

actually it is possible to make multiple ships as one but it would be many small models connected i remember seeing it in another mod somewhere on AFC have alook ill try when i get some time to find out exactly

The Babylon 5 mod had fighters that can merge into a squad after you get 8 or so, but I don't know about destroying single fighters after they are merged.
