The collector from insurrection would have no real use in fo, as its not set in the briar patch.
so instead we have a buildable/warpin-able modified collector.
the collector can collect gasses from the various nebulae in fleetops.
so here are some of my ideas:
Green crystallid nebs:
collecting green gas allows u to release it later, giving a shield boost to stuff nearby. of course this applies to both allied and enemy ships. the effect would be temporary and not as significant as the real green neb.
Purple mutara nebs:
collecting purple gas allows u to release it later, creating a temporary purple neb, allowing your fleet to retreat behind a sensor blocking neb. the nebula kills sensors, but is temporary, and isnt strong enough to kill shields. affects allies and enemies alike.
Blue fluid nebs:
collecting blue gas allows u to release it later, creating a temporary blue neb. it doesnt kill shields, just drains them slowly. making an obstacle. does nothing to hull. affects allies and enemies alike.
Blue (tetryon) and red (nucleon) harmful nebs:
collecting these gasses is difficult as they harm your ship, so maybe an additional refit could be required, a refit to protect and allow storage of harmful gasses. maybe this could be a temporary thing, so that the ship can only hold the gasses for a few minutes before containment fails and the ship receives large amounts of damage until vented.
allows you to carry these gasses somewhere, and dump them, giving damage to where u drop them, deals less damage than the full neb, and is temporary. damages allied and enemy alike.
EDIT: as tyler notes, i forgot to mention, this ship should be slow.
also i think it shouldnt be terribly strong, maybe war frigate defence standards.
