Something was written about buttons to press for upgrading to veteran status.

The Tavara veteran button should show a skull.

yes, but will it have to go back to the yard, and will it take time or will it be an instant upgrade?

Be afraid of vet Descents. Be VERY afraid.

And... Why didn't you choose the B'rel for the fire-while-cloaked gadget? I mean, to me it just seems Klingon rather then Romulan  .

K'vorts already have something similar, I guess they don't want the klingons getting all the cloak gadgets.

I'm just waiting on the *crosses fingers* super-super-awesome defiant-class vet. upgrade.



Awesome work guys, especially that Norexan idea - sounds positively wicked!

I have a question: can we please have multi-layer shields for the veteran miranda II? either that, or something to boost its offensive values.

im sure the mods ahve something pretty cool for veteran miranda 2s. after all look at the ship. it's cool even without being veteran

Exactly!  Plus since your ally is Dominion, you'll take comfort in knowing that you'll have my Vetern Dreadnoughts backing you up.

unless you got it from your enemy in which case you will be going up against veteran dreads....

Am I the only one who'd be interested to see what a veteran Venture or other scout ship would be like? Not that you'd ever get a double-gold Venture, but it's a fun idea... What ability do you think it could have? I'm thinking something along the lines of a "ping" that temporarily reveals ships in a large area (maybe the entire map) on the player's minimap... This could possibly apply only to areas not covered by shroud...

Scouts don't even have experience... How could you get a veteran one?

it would be cool to get a veteran scout.... lol... it would be a mark of shame on the opponent....lol

maybe if the opponent allows ur scout to become veteran, the ability then on the scout should be one shot destroys an entire enemy ship.....

we can call the ability passive stupidity penalty

and if a klingon construction ships gets to be veteran, then it can build anything for 0 costs.
