Stronger Stations

the borg have soooo many long rang strong ships i believe the arty is not necessary(besides we never saw one in the movies)

furthermore about the arty ships being armed with phasers. I believe the whole point of the arty is to be an attack ship that needs support by others, so if your opponent doesn't keep them protected, that's his problem!

Well, we never saw many borg stations in the movies either. The most I've seen in the Borg Queen complex and the Transwarp Hub from Voyager. I also don't recall seeing any construction ships or mining ships for that matter.

One last point - every side should have an artillery-ranged ship of some kind, since every side has a turret too. (I've recently noticed the Klingons lack an artillery ship. The Borg might not need one, but there's one in the original Armada, so why shouldn't there be one here?)

Klingons are getting an arty in v3, it will be a special avatar unit.
Borg already have one in beta2, its called command cube. If you dont know the details of the game than dont speak about them

Is the command cube really an artillery ship though, or does it just have "long range"?

It has "artillery range", What u mean I dont know what artillery range is? :S

I was asking if it had "long range" vesus "artillery range".

Look at this: click

And read the describtion of each vessle carefully
IF I TELL U IT HAS ARTILLERY RANGE I DO NOT MEAN IT HAS LONG RANGE, BUT THAT IT DOES INDEED HAVE ARTILLERY RANGE

Okay! Okay! Chill out!! I thought you were basing it off gameplay and not the actual thing.

Besides, since the Command Cube isn't built normally, it skipped my mind as to how to see its range.

Okay, the Borg have one (as demonstrated earlier, the command cube) the Romulans have one (Serkas) and the Feds have one (Steamrunner) but the Klingons don't (and this time, I checked the tech trees myself) Think they should?

Please read all of my posts carefully

yeah, it'll be sweet when the klingons get the arty.

Hmm. Yeah, OK. Sorry. It kind of bugs me that its an avatar-specific unit, but whatever. I'm done complaining...

well if you want it you'll just select the avatar that has it, so i think that system will work

Yeah, that's true. They did that in Command and Conquer Generals so yeah.

i don't think klingons should have art, think about it, how many klingons want to stay behind allied lines to shoot where they can't be shot at? all kligons what to stay behind enemy lines killing asmany as they can and die them selfs in battle.

maybe it's like demoting a crew to transport duty or something?
