I think that ships should become derelict in combat more often.

I just think it would be more realistic. I mean, look at the Wolf 359 debis field. Most of the ships there were (almost) in one piece!

one wrong hit depressurizes the hull, and everyone dies? something like that?

NO WAY!!! *smacks redshirt with his pool cue once again* i hated that on stock A2, the life support upgrades did nothing to stop it or even reduce it (which kinder made them pointless ) i hateed that with the upmost intensity

Yea, something like that.

What about make a construction ship/repair ship that uses the workerbees to fix damaged ships? Plus give all ships tractor beams?

At least workbees would make more sense than our loved healing beam.

But, don't get me wrong, don't they usually send some crewmen and equipment to a damaged ship to fix it again when there is no yard near or the damaged ship can't make the way itself? Again: the tractor beam would be nice.

Thats a very good idea, I just don't know how it can be implemented.

Not like that! I just mean that instead of being destroyed, they would be made derelict instead.

Can you modify the construction ship to repair all ships and stations? If so that would shorten the different types of ships.

i like these ideas, most if not all of em.

"EEEXCELLENT"


the borg would assimulate a whole fleet instantly and get the other races technology if ships can become more often derelict

Some of the derilict ships are damaged beyond repair, and are just for decoration.

Here we go... from tractor-beams to derelicts.

I'd also like to see ships becoming derelict, even if it would just be decoration.
But I never liked the Ferengi-steal-your-ships-idea anyhow...

I despise it. When I'm Klingon, I stick turrets all over the map so that when they come out, I can catch them in a tractor beam.
