If your playing multiple AI you should be able to bribe a team to attack another. Of course it should be costly, but it would give the game a new dynamic. Just an idea.


justgonnaslipthissidenoteinhere: The borg doesn't create cubes at all because it is so caught up with creating smaller vessels, tis a major weakness.

Since they have Ferengi ships it would make sense to be able to hire them to harass enemy positions that aren't defended well or steal supplies from them and give some of them to you.

Ferengi are one of the most heroic, stalwar, loyal.........ah shit I can't say that with a straight face.

I always assumed that the AI were bloodthirsty idiots, who will not be stopped by anything to screw up attacking you. I like the idea of ferangi harrasing opponenets, though in most cases it really wouldn't be worth whatever cost it would take. Maybe even just the highest bidder gets the business. Sounds like ferangi style...

Take a look at the pirate system in Sins of a Solar Empire to see how that can be done.

I don't think such a mercenary force would be terribly useful unless you get rather precise control over them, but then you may just get a couple ships transferred temporarily. Kinda like a warpin that warps out again after a while?
