V4 Idea? Avatar system change / tmp ships in fo

posted on May 31st, 2004, 1:10 am

I only said Beta 4 cause this might be a little too extreme for 3 Basically taking the avatar idea further and having different types of fed, kling, rom, etc teams and you choose which one you want to play as (anyone here played C+C Generals Zero Hour will know what i mean) for example one fed team might be more tactical with Galaxy and Defiants another might be more defense with shield generators to build around the base increasing everythings shields. Just an idea, and a wild one at that but let me know what anyone thinks guys.

Another idea while typing that one, era-based teams, an old Constitution-class going up against a romulan bird of prey or an Excelsior going up against an early Vor'Cha, maybe mix them for a skirmish challenge, see how a fleet of Miranda class stand up to a Borg Cube, again just another wild idea

That sounds like a very good idea. Maybe if extra ships are added...

This gives me an idea for an A2 mod. You might see it at http://www.armada2files.com

I like your first idea Bloodrayne, but I think thats kinda what the Avatar system is.
When you select an Avatar, you get slightly differant vehicles, structures, and stats for them.

Slightly? In C&C Generals: Zero Hour sometimes (most of the time) the differences were big... If they do end up going this way i think it would be more than a ship, but almost everyship being different... (that is if you were to fallow Zero Hour as an example)

FINE UBER, the differances were rather large, but I think thats whats going on here cept toned down to keep some balance. Either way good job FO team!

It's probably a slim possibility but what about the era-based idea? Could be fun

I'd like to see older ships in game, but thats pretty much it.

How old TMP? I'm thinking Constellation, Ambassador, Excelsior (possible refit option make it Excel 2) and possible Miranda/Soyuz

Thats what I was thinking, they were in the Dominion war and if were about to have the Dominion, throw them in for the ride I was also thinking a few other clases of the BoP like the D'tai and maybe a D-7(K'tinga is a D-7 varient).

I like the D-7 idea, they could have it for both Klingon and Romulan (as they both had it at one stage in TOS) Also i haven't seen any Breen ships in screenshots of Dominion, how about it guys? Do we have to wait for Beta 4 for those or not

(In case you hadn't guessed, i'm a breen-lover)

They had D-7s in TOS.

I thought the Breen had a treaty with the Dominion or something and wernt actually part of it.

Well that area is a little grey as little is known about the Breen anyway. Standard Dominion policy is you join the Dominion and that is that, Cardassia did and they're ships became part of the Dominion fleet, i'm assuming the same was with the Breen, if not the Breen would be too small to have as it's own race so they could go well with the Dominion

As I understand it is that the breen will become a mayor NP race in fleetops 4. You can also find them in beta 2 of course, but I think they will get more structors and vessles in fleetops 4 and wont be a part of the dominion, just like the cardassians aren't.
