Hey, i've played FleetOps before (a while back) and am getting back into it, and have decided to join up to the FO community.

Anyhow, a few ideas for possible future releases?

Firstly, Get rid of the Noxter, nobody seems to use them and there ugly (except for the blood). Future races (and current ones that i would like to see personally are): Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Borg, Dominion, Cardassian, Breen and the Xindi (these would take quite a bit of work i would imagine, and lots of ideas).

I know the Dominion are in the V3, but i hope to see the Cardassians & Breen in a future release (although, i think i have heard of the Breen being with the Dominion in V3 (yet i think, for a future release, they should be on their own).

Also, i don't know if this has been corrected, but the Sovereign in V2 has a backwards registry of the Ent-E (i would remove the registry altogether).

Also, (the last current thing) more planets, there are (in V2 anyway) only two, one class H i think and two class M. Having a class J with the rings on would be mind blowing. I've also seen pictures of what look to be Suns in V3 (can't wait for it's release)!!

Edit: I'd also like to see the Prometheus class replace some ship, maybe that dodgy looking one thats the best the fed's have!? Has FO sorted out the MVAM or is that still at a stand still...

Heyho

The Noxter will take a breath in v3 and come back in an addon for v3 - after a complete redo of course The Breen will appear as an avatar for the Dominion and as an independent NP race. We have no plans for the Xindi at the moment
In future releases you will find the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Borg, Dominion, Noxter, Iconian, Ciadan as playable races and millions of NP races ^_^
(well okay not millions )

Yep, a Sovy texture redo is on the todo list

There will be many new planets for the maps and a few suns to pep it up

Hey, thanks for the reply

You're having: Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Borg, Dominion, Noxter, Iconian, Ciadan

Firstly, who are the Iconian & Ciadan, and seeing as i have never heard of them before, i would assume they are for you're V4 release?

I don't mean to sound ungreatful, but why the Noxter? (i also hope that these two new species aren't like the Noxter). But you could have the Xindi (which you mentioned, these will be map units)? - or the Cardassian?

*Note, you said "We have to plans for the Xindi at the moment" I can't quite understand that, either you ment 'no' instead of 'to' or i'm missing something!

You mention we get the Cardassian, but as a map unit only. Why is this? Surley they would be good enough to have as a playable race, would they not?

Planets and Suns (these sound cool) - yet there was a topic a while back to enable shuttle trafic on planets. I know planets are not colonizable on FO, but could there not be a way of capturing a planet? then have that races specific shuttle traffic (simply for game / beauty reasons). Species such as the Noxter would not have any need for Shuttles.

Also, (i'm putting everything here to save opening up tones of threads on an already overfilled forum).

Why is FleetOps called Beta? Beta2, Beta3 etc etc... Beta is like a demo, or a test, yet FO is a MOD (of which works fine)!

Also, i don't know if this is just rumours, but is it true that FleetOps V4 is the final shout? (as in, once you've done V4 thats the lot, FleetOps is no longer)?

If so, what are you going to do with yourself? and will you be bringing out patches occasionaly or anything like that?

Sorry for the long post

The Noxter have had alot of work put into them, obvously if the development team decide to drop them it leaves a massive hole to fill. i believe the development team will try to salvage this race before they replace it.

personally i shair your opinion, with the biological races floating about i feel they belong at map objects and not main races.

Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Borg these four races are a given, they work extreamly well and only need tweeked.

Tholians · Gorn · (not likely)Q · Ferengi · Cardassians · (not likely)Bajorans · Hirogen
Dominion · Breen · (not likely)Xindi

these are potential substitute races, alittle about the lesser known ones...

Tholians
A highly advanced sentient — apparently crystalline species, non-humanoid in appearance and extremely territorial in disposition. They hail from a hot planet by human standards, probably not Class-M. Together, two Tholian ships can literally spin a web of energy in space in order to trap an enemy vessel, after which the web is then drawn together, constricting and finally destroying the vessel inside. On stardate 5693.2, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 made first contact with this species.

Gorn
The GORNS are a reptilian race from planets with grater gravity than Earth and with a harsher climate, which perhaps accounts for their greater endurance. Though battle is not the overwhelming preoccupation with them that is for Klingons and Romulans, the Gorn prize physical strength and endurance over intellect.

Hirogen
A spacefaring nomadic race of the Delta Quadrant whose society has been completely based upon the ritual hunt for a millennium, despite their advanced technological status. All other species are viewed as prey, not equals, but only challenging prey are prized and pursued.

Breen
A humanoid species from a cold planet who operate in a politically non-aligned manner and are reputed to be aggressive, with outposts in Sector 97. It is presumed that the Breen home system is in an adjacent sector. While the Federation has some knowledge of their ways, Betazoids are unable to detect the Breen empathically, and the Breen's use of cloaking technologies coupled with powerful disruptor-style weapons makes them both formidable and inaccessible to the Federation

Thanks for the Info, but you were slightly wrong about the Breen Homeworld. If you recall an episode on DS9, Weyown was saying to Damar that the Breen Homeworld was much like Earth in climate etc...

Also, the Gorn, i don't (or haven't heard much about them), i thought they were simply a race put into SFC i thought...

Also, with you're other races, the only ones (excluding the Gorn) i would not include would be the Hirogen and Bajorans (Bajorans simply because they are Bajorans), the Hirogen i think would be another pointless race, although it would be an idea to see the Tholions! My only fear with that is the ships will look too much like TOS as nobody knows what the Tholion ships look like in the 24th Century!

The Tholions in ENT & TOS looks way too much the same!

i think i remeber hearing that there will be up to v6...

the gorn were in the TOS episode "Arena" Season 1

v3 will not be called beta v1 and v2 were tho (i don't know why....)

i am personally really looking forwards to the Iconians and Cidians and tho more races would be nice i belive that this game (not mod ) would be compleate without more...

Iconians and Cidians

Who are these guys... are they real? (canon)?

posted on August 24th, 2005, 8:49 pm

iconians, yes. i remember the DS9 episode where starfleet & dominion team up to hunt down some rebel jem hadar. the rebels were gaurding an iconian gateway. (whatever that is) i think the iconians themselves are thought to have become extinct many centuries ago

I really would like to see an aquatic race. Im a fan of aquatic races. The ships look awesome. Imagin the explotions of their ships would give us nice special effects and some other type of look and feeling. that would be really nice.

Iconians were first mentioned in an episode of TNG where Picard found an iconian gateway in romulan space (iconian gateways allow instantainous transportation from one point to another)

The Ciadians were made up by the FO team and i belive that they will be truely awesom, do a forum search on "Ciadian" and see what you get

posted on August 24th, 2005, 10:36 pm

They are called Ciadan! one "i" pls! Yep i might be a little strict with them but they are my personal favourits

@SupaStarAsh: yep it was ment to be "no plans", don't know how a t managed to get to this o..

The Ciadan are completely "made up" and part of the Fleet Operations story line. There will be much background information about them as soon as their development is approaching, but they are planed for v4 or v5, so you will have to wait for a while.
The Iconians are partly canon. The Iconians settled in the alpha and beta quadrant 40000 years ago. There are a few episodes about their ruins and they were mentioned every now and then. They are "canonly" considered to died out.

The Noxter are also part of the story line. They will get booth gameplay and model improvements with their global redo. You will see

What about the planets?

"Planets and Suns (these sound cool) - yet there was a topic a while back to enable shuttle trafic on planets. I know planets are not colonizable on FO, but could there not be a way of capturing a planet? then have that races specific shuttle traffic (simply for game / beauty reasons). Species such as the Noxter would not have any need for Shuttles."

Also, "Why is FleetOps called Beta? Beta2, Beta3 etc etc... Beta is like a demo, or a test, yet FO is a MOD (of which works fine)!"

Last thing - there was something mentioned in another thread of having a 'water nebula' the idea is good, but i wouldn't have it as a nebula as such, i would have it as a planet (just so happens that you're ships can hide / go into the water planet)!

planets will get their own an special usage in a future version maybe v4
