One new idea meant for the 3rd avatar patch...

posted on November 2nd, 2009, 2:37 pm

I am planning on another Avatar for the feds. This will require alot of time-consuming work. Though I think I can pull this off. Now, of course the bonuses may vary a bit. Though I will inform you of my planned things to include.

Planned bonuses:
- Pheonix Class (Nebula Variant) available at the Eraudi Yard
- Melbourne Class available at the Eraudi Yard
- Mandrill classes can upgrade their storage capacities
- SFC station has reduced cooldown times
- Starbase only has to upgrade offensive systems once

Any Opinions?

For me it's gotta be Admiral Owen Paris. He's the only one up there that represents the ideals of the Federation for me, and who does not seem to waver or fail in his duty to serve Starfleet and its directives (then again, remarkably little information is given about the man).

I dont really know but it says that Nakamura had Data dissassembled. So no to him

Yeah, Nakamura was a bit of hypocrite... he basically didn't consider Data to be "sentient" and wanted him disasembled for study (but failed obviously), and essentially used his "friendship" with Picard to spring the decision on him.

Janeway is just unsavory to me overall - she broke so many Starfleet directives (especially during Year of Hell) and seemed to me just a science officer who was unfortunately catapulted to a command rank without understanding what her duties were... breaking the prime directive, temporal directive, using torture, recklessly endangering crew...

The rest also broke various Federation and Starfleet ideals (using the captured Jem'Hadar child for research, willing to sacrifice Picard to find information on the Cardassians, willing to allow the Romulans to stock torps on Bajor's moon... etc).

Here is one for ya. Admiral Data, besides the fact that by this point in the timeline that most of these guys would be in their 90s. And if you say that Data died in Nemisis ill say that the FO timeline is different and Data lived.

Nechayev all the way.  She's one of the few guest actresses who had the stage presence to be an imposing figure as an admiral.  In Redemption, we see a few "admirals" debating with Picard about the Klingon Civil War, and it feels like he's talking to 3rd year cadets.  Nechayev was one of the few characters who clearly intimidated our undaunting captain.  She was kind of like the unstoppable force to Picard's immovable object.  They had some pretty good stare downs.    None of the others impressed me when the actors/actresses "tried" to act like a command officer.  You can see in her face all the things she's sacrificed to get to where she's at.  A very tough as nails character.  In the FO timeline she's probably about 70-80, which is still active duty for some people.  McCoy was like 138 or something, though he was retired.

She's one that would stop at nothing to save the Federation and is very pro military.  In Star Trek:  New Frontier Peter David makes her a major part of Starfleet Intelligence.  So in a game that's about building large armadas and doing black ops missions, she's the one I'd vote for to get things done.

One point:  "Bones" is seen in an early star trek episode and he was like 137 at the time...

Is it possible that Picard would be an Admiral? Or Riker maybe? I would like one of them to be an Avatar. Though Picard would likely make anti-borg ships, Riker would more or less make things work better like how I plan. He would try to put things to their limit.

Somehow, I doubt Picard would be an Admiral... last I checked, Starfleet procedure doesn't include forcing promotions at Phaser-point.

That's exactly what they'd need to do to get him off the bridge of a starship. Picard is just like Kirk; a Captain, not a 'desk jockey'.

Remember, before he was deactivated, Data said that Before's positronic net was changing.  It was becoming more complex, and starting to look like Data's...after Data copied his entire memory into him.

Other than being psychologically much more primitive, Before was identical to Data.  With all of Data's memories likely overwhelming his bare-bones mind, he could easily just become Data.

Well, it's a good thing that before we kill Data off, we have a spare Data, with all of Data's memories locked away in the closet...

Actually in the official series of books, Picard becomes an Admiral, and B4 eventually evolves into what is effectively Data, and becomes Enterprise (I think?) Captain.

I generally prefer canon over official books... and isn't the Data Jr on Enterprise part from the Pre-XI Comic?

What about Riker? I think he would be a pretty good Admiral, after all he did learn from the best. Though I think with all of his experience eventually he'd be promoted to Admiral.
