Ok Last weeks idea(fed mason warpin) Bad idea, NEW topic. But instead of me stickn' my head out there to get taken off(which was fun btw) I pose a different question(just fo the fun off it)

IF you could ADD, CHANGE, or REMOVE, ONE thing from Fleet ops, What would it be?

Add:
One thing called more fun, including:
- Deep Space stations
- Heroes
- Borg redo
- New mixed tech approach

I like this ONE thing.

This belongs in the small talk section I think.

I would say the tooltips.  I dislike how they are, and how hard they are to calculate and make.  I like how they look, and how they tell you how powerful a ship is, but I think there are easier ways of doing it, and ones that are less complicated.

tbh, I really liked the easy to write, sentence or two you just put in the odf instead of going through the dls.h file.

Thats probably the only think I would change, and its only because I"m a modder and I liked the easy tooltips of stock.

Id like to see a redo of the saucer section on the Ambassador , the rest look's good the saucer needs help.

One thing?  Let's see.

Change the basic gameplay mechanics back to the way they were in Armada II stock with a few modifications.

If I could change one thing it would be Borg design.  I would make them more special weapon focused and less module focused.  And/Or make it possible for an existing Borg vessel to change its modules in some manner; to "adapt" as close as the current coding allows.

I would also set it up so that I always get blue in multiplayer, so that I don't have to fight Arash for it.

Race hero... like "Jean Lucky Luke pick it hard" or "Bench aim in this C.O." (Combat overlay) and so on...

Hmmmm I was thinking avatar hero(Risner's Magnan sovereing refit, Martok's neg'var, Sela's Warbird) An avatar Ship Like that could make an intresting early game.

Well, its not meant to be a avatar-like boon, its more a special boon for a certain ship, a certain situation or... whatever... you know?

Take a hero on a ship/station and he will do something with it. There is already a topic about this. I think, this idea is great and should be implemented.

Take Sisko on a defiant and he will increase the hit rate of quantums even against small ships, while he is also adding a cloaking device to it and increases the stats to additional +3 to all attributes.

Remember: This is only ONE ship, so it wont make it unbalanced.

If you take seven of nine on another ship (dont has to be an intrepid) the ship will get a 33% resistance against borg ships, a 50% firepower boon against borg ships and will be immune to special effects (nanites, boarding and so on) but not against holding beam or high energy slicer...

Also... just one ship. Sure, you will make a ship with ADAI try to make it a vet because its effective against borg and... wait, thats an intrepid... The strings of the universe are made by DocaCola, right?

Picard could give something like a fleet-command-effect. Ships in a certain radius around picard will get an overall stat-boon. THIS could be mights, but remember... take out picard, and... the feds will cry.

Same can be done with klingons, rommies, dominion and even the borg ( I am the beginning. The end. The one who is many. I am the Borg.)
This hot chick on a command cube... fleets beware - this cube is immune to diabling effects (critical shot and so on) and will ALWAYS have to "order to chaos" ability like a passive. Including doubling weapon fire and doubling regen-rate with a slight increase of special energy available.

Cardassians as playable race (or Dominion avatar). I know it's pretty extremely unlikely, but those crazy spoonheads need love too. Reman avatar for the Romulans would be fun, but pretty goofy after they probably all got executed after that one movie I can't watch anymore.

Free warp-in Miranda that doesn't count toward the cap with every distress call would be pro too. They'd have to make them terrible, like worse than a Saber. I just want to see a million of them cartwheeling on fire with half the saucer blown off every other second like in DS9.

Also they seem to be doing this anyway what with the upcoming Centaur, but way more of the goofy Starfleet ships like the New Orleans, Soyuz, Oberth, and Olympic (as a crew replenisher/repair ship) would really put a smile on my face. It'd also be great if the ships visually changed when they gained rank (Excelsior to ENT B, Galaxy to funny bumps on engines to All Good Things... monster, Miranda to Soyuz, ect.)

Well, I can dream, right?

This, except for the Galaxy-X change :p dont want to see my beautifull galaxies turn fugly (a)

Also: Battle damage and hulks, like x73rmin8r implied at the mirandas..A few hours ago, I used 10 Borg cubes to lure 100+ dominion ships into a nebula, where I slaughtered them en masse...It would be so awesome to look back to that nebula 10 minutes after the battle and still see these burned-out hulks of dozens of dominion ships...yeah.

mirandas will appear as map objects cos they are too old for warpins.

galaxy already gets the engine bumps on vet, its called a venture refit.

Hulks sounds fun, but may be hard for slower computers.

Cardies and remans will get in, but not as avatars or races. As npcs.

I'd like to see hulls too. Maybe have them time out and blow up, like derelicts do? or just have an option in graphic settings. Kinda reminds me of the plasma and oxygen streamers they used to have. I kinda miss those. A ship spinning wildly out of control leaking plasma everywhere.

Hmm, if I could add one thing..... I wonder what that would be...
