i was playing fleet ops today and i was struck by how there are no "big" things, like the ships are all small (mostly) and there are no super weapons or specialitis. was thinking that, as a special bonus, players could be awarded something special when they hit a certain point mark, for instance if you play as the Feds and reach a certain amount points, like, i dunno, 50,000, you wud hav the option to warp in a Titan from the command station, or the Noxter have the option to mature a Super Swarm, or the Borg wud recieve the abilty to one off meld some cubes; only as a one off though, since it would make for some serious imbalances. this may mean some map modifications, like the removal of certain obstacles and the general enlargement of the space (i hated it in the star wars mod where the super star destroyers had to spend half the time manouvering around planets and asteroids) but i think it wud make the whole experience more worth it, as it would give a sense of development in the game, as well as an extra challenge.

i was also wondering about the Ciadan and Iconian? ive heard so little of them concerning the game.

Sounds just like another sort of super weapon, I perfer just starship to starship battles but maybe others on the forums will support this idea.

Yeah Optec and Doca havent told us too much about them.

Well I kind of liked the super weapons in A1 and A2, so I would like them back.
As for those 2 races I think they will apear in v4, and there is some info about them in the forum, but in previous threads so u have to look hard

i think the fushion cube is too powerful (wiped out bases in 5 secs!) and the temp field could destory whole fletts FFS

which one of the fusion cubes?

Most likely the tactical one, they were both real powerful tho. I wouldn't mind the borg having a huge ass cube as long as none of the other races get a super weapon like they did. Plus the cube has to cost ALOT.

i also would like to see superweapons back, becuse thay can stop the enemy if he is attacking and he has superior forces!

@ tmp well that helps the balance alot?!

@hypercube, if you can't build good enough defences then you deserve to die.

I dislike super weapons but the giant-ass cube isn't a super weapon, it was in a movie and as long as it cost alot I welcome it.

there are nukes in movies, does that mean that they are not super weapons?

They are I suppose but they won't be able to destroy any ST ships.

lol you stick a nuke in the middle of a cube and you sure as hell could!
