I still like my previous idea of merging the SFC and the Outpost, now with an added Dilithium cost increase.

Yeah, but you start with one.

The one you start with is different to the one you build, being replaced several times to get to the one that is actually used. Editing it to use a different odf (without the Warp-In) isn't exactly rocket science.

Another idea; Merge them with or without resource increase, then set the Relay Station (like Relay Station 47) as a requirement of the distress call.

Can't we just replace the SFC model and arm it? After all I need more defense in the Feds because everytime I play as them I always get pulverized with either Dom ships, cloaked warbirds, or both!  I was hoping for a High poly, properly scaled, version of the Starbase like the one orbiting Earth! We can have that as it, arm it with Tachyon pulses and Quantum torpedoes and put the price at 1 1/2 times that of the Outpost? I've got a few pics of it to shed light on what I'm talking about. The Starbase is of towards the back of two of the pics.

Why don't we just throw out the SFC model and replace it with the outpost model and put 1337_64M3R's starbase idea as the main starbase.

if we don't want to throw it out we could use it as the model for a fed perimeter.

don't meen to be rude, but the feds don't need defence.  That and that station is HUGE.  What if the relay was just a relay.  You only needed it to call in reinforcements, so it still held the cool down, but you called the warpin from your starbase?  It wouldn't interfear with the curr3nt balancing

DARN YOU SKLAR FOR TYPING SO FAST!!!! jk

I absolutely agree that the last thing the feds need is additional defensive potential. There's no need gameplay-wise to turn the Starfleet Command Center into a second outpost.

That's why I suggested the subspace relay station in the first place. Though I also like the idea of a MIDAS array like structure - that would definitely be more impressive.

Maybe the devs could make a statement whether they'd be interested in changing the model at all? Because if they aren't (and given evrything that probably needs to be done, I'd understand that!) this discussion is in vain anyway.

I may not be a Savy  game modder. But why not scale the SFC model down in size by  half keeping the same  costs  for materials and Stats for Off and Def.  Then  you would have to build a  Tactical Operations Comm Array to transmit the  distress calls. then you may  use the warpin feature. You have the option to upgrade the  transmitter.Doing sow you may get one additional ship with the warpin(Note normally  the additional ship will be only  from the small yard". For randomness  you have a 9 times out of 10 chance that you only get a Sabre or Monsoon Or Intreped as the additional ship. However you may  get lucky and obtain any random  ship from the large yard. Loss of the TOCA will result  in  loss of the ability to  warp in the "extra ship". If the TCOA is destroyed, the upgraded transmitter  is no longer buildable. How ever you will still have  the "standard warp in" capacity from the SFC , once the new TCOA is built.

That station use to be in FO before they replaced it with the current model.

The problem with using the huge Spacedock-style Starbase is that, it's such a huge thing and so expensive, that the Federation don't build them until they've already secured that whole area of space. They're seen above planets like Earth, Vulcan, Tellar, etc, they're not "frontier starbases". They certainly wouldnt' be the first thing you build, without a HUGE defence system in place first...

I agree with  opinion several folks that stated that  the  Mushroomed shaped Starfleet Space dock model is  way too large to be used  for  this mod . If  the dont like the size, Scale the size of the present  SFC down. Keeping the present costs  and stats the same.

I think replacing the SFC station with the Midas array (or something similar) seems like a wise move, granted I'm not usually running out of space to build stuff but it kinda makes sense to use at least a slightly smaller model...

The scale of the station that 1337_64M3R  proposes  Is way too large to  fit  if properly scaled to true size.  Conservative estimates of the SFC Command  that he proposes  is  conservitavely put at  3.8 Kilometers  at the dome  and  5.5 Kilometer long in height .Some  Startrek Novels put it at 3 times that size. So I feel It would  not fit a lot of maps and  the SFC he proposes is also a Space Dock to build ships. Just Scale the Present SFC down  by 50%  with the same stats and possibily a  small change to the flaps that hang down  by adding Antenna arrays  to them as a upgrade. or possibly adda Midas Arrayed styled array to the  flaps on the bottom of the model.
