That concept doesn't exist...

Hmm, interesting... perhaps they wanted to introduce another sort of interceptor? I thought they had enough ships as well... afterall, they are the only faction (besides Klingons) where I don't use all of the vessels (looking at the T-15 *cough* *cough*).

Oh, but they have more ships than the Bug, the B5 and the Dreadnought?

while analyzing recent balancing changes, i detected that the Dominion still lacks a ship or two, especially in the early cruiser age. The new vessel will be an alternative to the Escort Cruiser and speciallized in dealing damage to more then one target at a time

Give it artillery range, and it's SOLD! Yum!

perhaps somewhere in the future. the next vessel has already been decided, and it will be a new design

Well, If I send pics maybe you can get a start on it? (You could probably make a better version than the original in that game.

A ship that has 3 poleron beams and 2 tetrion torpidoes and you think 18 offensive is a good estimate.... that's not much more powerfull than a bug ship and that has just 1 poleron beam.

Tetrion Fireworks maybe... A Dominion special weapon that is effective only against the Federation (because seriously, who else would fall for it?) as a means of lulling them into a false sense of security, just prior to a battleship bathing them in a hail of real torpedoes.

That would deal with the Federation's apparent OP'ness in some cases without disadvantaging other races. It would also account for the ships low offensive value of 18 and encourage fleet action with other ships.

Job done!
