So will there be any reason for a Fed player to not take that option?

No, who wants to be the good guys in the void??? =D


i'll think about it, but i doubt it (maybe decrease sheild strength by like 2% each time)

taking the brute option could cause crew to become less effective due to low  moral because they feel evil. so repair rates/research times/build times/special weapon effectiveness could all suffer.

People who would play the Feds in that mod? There's always playing the Klingons if you just want to do the unfettered badass thing. Having the Feds act like that as well doesn't really fit well with everything that is said about Starfleet's ethos and training.

Perhaps have a mutually exclusive "science and diplomacy" research line (you can do one but not both) and have relatively minor benefits for the lower tiers of research (eg special weapon energy, improved defence) but have the top tier benefit of a powerful allied vessel warping in to help you. Give the Feds a real choice between short-term gains but a lesser long-term result, and short term deficiency but a better long-term outcome.

klingons aren't unfettered, they won't do dishonourable things, well except for the occasional corrupt ones, but the feds have bad apples too, like the equinox crew and s31.

Worf mentions several time that the most honorable thing is to achieve victory

And I am quite happy to accept the bad element of Starfleet, hence my suggestion to allow a Fed player in the mod to take either path.

i agree that bad feds is certainly possible, and i think should be encouraged for a void scenario.

I like this, think of yourself as the equinox crew. I guess you should have an option to broadcast diplomatic negotioanl request to an enemy ship, killing their crew one at a time, but really i'll ave that for the klingon opera special weapon
