Prometheus would be a great Warp-In, and FO habit of ignoring series (mainly Voyager) canon in favor of FO canon should make removing the successful MVAM.

Well, considering MVAM requires that the ship be basically AI controlled, and the Borg being involved?  I'd say fair odds that any prommies built during this war would be without those features, to stop the Borg from just taking control of the ship for maximum efficiency in assimilation.  Just like how starfleet scrapped the AI tactical computer that turned a ship into a murderbot.

Just because it's nifty doesn't make it a good idea.

MVAM is covered elsewhere, but Borg would have no part in removing it. Computers are much harder to assimilate than people (more failsafes and higher resistence). MVAM is very effective, just not that popular.

Can't say I have strong feelings for the Prometheus to be in or not  . I wouldn't mind it being in as an experimental craft - but I certainly would prefer that it did not have such ridiculous firepower and endurance as on Voyager.

Experimental Defensive Unit = Descent
Experimental Offensive Unit = Prometheus
Experimental Support Unit = A Nebula with a never before seen pod with a special ability to clone almost any ship, another ability that is basically the stock's "Invincibility Shield" from the stock diamond, and the third ability being an instant cube killer.


lol... just kidding about that Nebula thing.

I like to overall design of the prommie but i dont think it should have MVAM. I do like to premisis that one should be for defense one for offence and one support.

it seems the prometheus support is growing, i like that, not that it would change anything. like the other 3 ships that warp in, within a predefined percentage for each spot that the game currently has, have spot 1 juggled between descent and prometheus or nebula variant say descent at 70% the nebula at 20% and prometheus at 10%. make it a chance draw for each of the experimental ships.

Personally, I'd prefer alternate experimental ships to be avatar specific. Defensive experimental going to the defensive avatar and offensive going to the offensive avatar.

I always kept the Prometheus MVAM as a veteran exclusive, not that I got them to veteran often...

Sure, give the Quantum Turret Spam Factory more defense. Why not have Mayson get the Offensive tank and give Risner the Defensive Battery?

If you want it the other way around, sure. I was just suggesting it.

Or having both for each avatar, just with one having a higher chance of getting a certain ship.

whoever mentioned that support ship idea, i actually kinda liked that, maybe a nebula mk 2, or somthing like that, or maybe as you suggested just a old refit nebula, maybe for like a starfleet intelligence avatar
