Where are the vulcans?

Hey everyone!
Of all the factions I'm getting the impression we're missing one.
I don't know how much is known about this race's tech and ships.
But we always hear about the vulcans and their presence in the galaxy.
But what about a vulcan faction? Is there enough data on vulcans to create a factions out of it?
Or is it just a bad idea?

I just wondered what happened to the vulcans. Were the forgotten maybe?

Heh, that's funny, someone just suggested them for a Romulan/Vulcan avatar in another thread. I dunno, it really seemed like they just kinda hung around their homeworld after TOS. I think you only ever saw them once or twice in TNG and DS9 with ships. Personally I'd love to see a Fed/Vulcan avatar where they actually have a fleet. Kinda like how they were on Enterprise but without the extreme doucheyness.

Anyway, I don't know if I've been here long enough to really welcome you, but welcome and all.

They are members of the federation, and as such they have to make room for humanity, which represents the federation in all things star trek. You could ask this same question for the Andorians, Tellarites and about 150 others. They should probably be happy with being featured as the Mediterranean class voice. :/

Yep, the Vulcans are part of the Federation and we will have some Vulcan captains on Starfleet ships soon(tm)

welcome to the forum denarius, hope you enjoy your time here. See you online

About the vulcans, as members of the federation their defence is handled by starfleet. Starfleet is the military arm of the feds. there are many vulcans in starfleet, presumably shipyards in the former vulcan territory make starfleet ships.

They may have ship designs of their own for private merchant things but fleetops is about combat.

Same applies to other fed members.

NPC Vulcan ships you can hire to scout the map for you would be decent. The only appearance of a Vulcan ship I remember during DS9 had it on an exploration mission, so such a role would be fitting.

Well, if the Okinawa is supposed to be a Klingon/Fed hybrid, maybe the Vulcans have a few ideas of their own...?

(To anyone who recognizes this ship, I'm sorry. Though, if you've actually checked out that particular A2-Mod, some of the designs are kind of similar...)

"Never give up, never surrender!"

That seriously needs to be a map object.

I'd like to hear a couple more Vulcan voices on ships

We NEED the protector. At least the stats of a dread, and immune to mines

Oh lol 

It kinda looks like a submarine from a kids TV show I used to watch so I was wondering if it was that but didn't think it would be

But Vulcans áre Feds, dammit lol xD

I wonder to which degree we can assume the vulcans / andorians / other members of the federation still use ship designs like they had in Enterprise.

I mean, the ds9 and TNG Vulcan ships were all earth-like. In TOS, the USS Intrepid was a Vulcan ships of sorts ( fully manned by vulcans ) and it was a constitution class.

IMO the enteprise ship designers just made a mistake in making the earth ships look like future starfleet ships, whilst the rest all had their own alien designs. Because now we're pretty much supposed to believe that after coming together in the federation, everyone suddenly started using human designs.

Either that, or they simply left all the military and exploration stuff to the humans. This idea would tie in with 99,9% of starfleet ships being named for stuff from earth, and 80% of all starfleet personel being humans.

But that would still just be stupid, how could they not start recruiting from the other 150 worlds when there was an all-out-war going on with the dominion..
