Suggestion re: Avatars

posted on July 27th, 2009, 8:36 pm

I noticed Martok is the only Avatar who actually appeared on the show - why not use canonical characters for the other Avatars such as Admirals William Ross and Alynna Nechayev for the Federation, Tomalak and Donatra (or Sela) for the Romulans, the Duras Sisters for the Klingons, etc.? Perhaps even juxtapose Locutus (Optimize) and the Borg Queen (Assimilate)?

Here
Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - V3.0! The Hitchhiker's Guide to Fleet Operations (Patch 3.07)

Download and read the unofficial official storyline for Fleet Operations if you wish. That should explain why all the avatars are the way they are etc . Remember that this game is based off of Detektor, Optec, and DOCa Cola's role playing game.

the Duras Sisters for the Klingons

I'm assuming you didn't watch Generations...

Indeed Tyler  : or Best of Both World for that matter (Locutus ain't in the Collective anymore, so-to-speak) 

Human females are soooo revolting

I think we will see a few popular faces from the show in the future

What about Jane Way? She became an Admiral in Nemesis. Plus I already have in mind what she can grant...

Avatar: Catherine Janeway
Avatar Bonuses:

• Grants the Delta Flyer Class Fighter (Built at starbase)
• Grants the Excelsior-B Transwarp Refit (I'm trying to get that to work, but I need those hp's redone as posted on the other thread)
• Grants all torpedo based special weapons to be 2x as effective against Borg
• Gives the Sovy the Reflection sheild veteran special ability (I'll work on an FO one using Zaxx's grand texturing)
• Grants the Mandrill class a short range phaser
• Increases Offensive Value by 2 of all ships with Quantum Torpedoes

Come on... please. After all we need someone well experienced against Borg.

I think Janeway was perhaps planned for the future... I seem to recall finding some tidbit about her around on the forums.

There is already a good retexture available. Not to mention a Corbomite Reflector already on this site.

Ignore the shape, Storm3D Viewer always shows the Reflector like that for some reason.

Optec did mention in my 3rd avatar thread that Sela would be making an appearance in FO, I'm not quite sure if he meant as a 3rd avatar but it's my hope she makes it in. I have to agree it would be nice to have more canon avatars but with such awesome original characters in the lead I don't mind.

Yes, Optec has posted before about Sela: in one post he said she'd be in as a third avatar, in another he said he had something special planned for her... not necessarily mutually exclusive, but certainly mysterious

Is Janeway a go? I really think that some idea of mine can be implimented (I never seen any of mine even mentioned to ever be so). But before that happens... I could really use a re-hardpointed version of the Excelsior I posted in my assistance forum. (Specific HP locations have been clearly defined of current and wanted locations)

Plz, plz, plz. I really want some of my ideas to be a part in this highly praised mod's growth!

Don't be sad, just keep putting your thoughts out there. Everyone's ideas are bound to be different, but if you come up with something we all like and the dev's like, it easily could be used in the mod.

But don't sweat, not everyone get's their ideas put forward. I would say about 1 in 10 people here get any ideas used at all. I don't think anything I've suggested has been used yet, one of my ideas for anti cloak was noted down and that was it.

Hehe. The third Federation Avatar has already been fixed, and i fear Janeway has to wait a little longer. Also I have some other plans for her to have a visit. We will see to it

Your ideas about Janway's Avatar Bonuses are nice, but we don't want to make bonuses that favor one Avatar grealy against a certain race. Thats something for mixed-tech.
Not all ideas might directly be included, but ideas and suggestions posted in the forums have a strong influence on the development of Fleet Operations. For example, as many people argued about cloaking and the detection of it, we are just redoing the complete cloak and detection system, to become a little more interessting. More about that soon

It's that Starfleet Intelligence person ain't it (maybe? Hopefully?)
