This poll is interesting its got very different results from the other. It look like this thread is not going to change very many minds it is a disappointment to me.

I have pretty much written off the cardys. Well nothing lost nothing gained except for server space for this tread and peoples time to respond to it.

It you wont a different result you need to do some thing different this conforms to what many others have tried "making threads showing there interest"..

If anything it'll at least provide an estimate of what the demand for the Cardies is.
Besides, you said it yourself, it's interesting

interesting - 38 - 20 in this poll,
31 to 15 in the other poll - both for cardies.

Interesting.

Let that way of thinking go.. Popularity will not in the day. The FO team dose not care what people think about the cardys they care about there mod when it comes to direction.

To talk to they about popularity is like talking to a mime about public speaking.

If you wont to have a brake throw hear relay bad you will need to do some thing different.

Given this what can you put in place to have a impact in there listening?

We do actually listen to the polls and read the arguments posted here. We can not directly implement everything that is mentioned here, but we do always try to include at least the "direction" pointed out by the community.
As there were several posts for changes on the Federation, for example, we are currently discussing some changes for them.

Community input is always welcome

Got it,

And cardys are out and threes no way you will put them in no matter how many threads are created I all so understand.

The point I am trying to make to serpicus is that you don't wont cardys in the mod as a playable race and you have made up your mind and know the interest in having them.

My goal is to hopefully have him get this and if he still wont's to have them so bad he will need to make some huge juster like "for example" rase funds to offer to heir the FO team to make a add-on.

And this has already bean decided and sort of god coming down and say hey Optec, daca and the rest of the FO team can you make a cardy mod.

I cant tell because I have never talked to you be far how opened you are to doing 360 on decisions. could you illustrate how shere you are that cards will never be playable.

Please stay polite and diplomatical at the forums.

The Cardies wont be in as a full playable race, as the set of playable races is already chosen. They are the top candidates for the first major NP races at the moment, so you will see their ships burning down your base from time to time

As neutral stations will come the Cardies will be hireable mercenaries so you will be able to control them. Perhaps some other features to give you a bit more cardassian stuff as we undererstimated their fan pool a bit we will take a look

I can really respect you for this. Taking steps like that to be more confident and self-assured takes a lot of strength. As someone else who is trying to improve himself, I can say you're doing really well (much better than I am, lol).

As for the Cardassians, I think the best thing we can do now is wait and see. We don't know exactly how good they are going to be as an NPC, so I say we should just look at how they turn out, and then decide.
Every one of the plans like this that the team have done in the past has surpassed our expectations, so hopefully this one will as well. =)

Hello all.

I just joined the community and this is my first post. I've been tinkering around with Fleet Ops since I first saw the download back on version 2.something, however my computer back then could not handle it well. I now have a better system and, along with your updates, now enjoy your game quite a lot.

However, I would like to see an additional race. Naturally the cardassians would be a ready made race as several of their ships have already been seen on the show. Reallly though, I would be happy with any race you decided upon. Just more options. Tholians would be interesting as would the Kazon or really any race that Voyager ran into.

I don't really know your timeline well, but if you follow the Armada 1 and 2 storyline the Klingon Empire are suppose to be shepherding the cardassians to make sure they don't try to rebuild an invasion fleet like they did with the dominion. That being said, however, the Federation are helping them to rebuild their cities.

In any case, just wanted to toss out my opinion on this subject. I'm all for more ships and more races. Thank you.

i highl support the mercenaries idea, it would be awsome

i just want to point out to the team, not a sigle persont voted for absent from fleet ops, they all want cardies in some form

Hey Silverleaf, welcome to the forums  . FO timeline is set up slightly after the Dominion War, there are a few scattered elements of this storyline throughout the forum (sorry, don't remember where). The Cardassians at the moment are destroyed from the Dominion, and I guess are slowly rebuilding. Kazon are also planned for NPC. Were you aware that the Ciadans, Noxter, and Iconians were going to be added as future fully playable races? 

posted on March 9th, 2009, 8:24 pm

Iconians? Aren't they the race that built the gateways that both the Romulans (Next Gen) and the rogue Jem'hadar (DS9) tried the capture? Wouldn't they be a bit... overpowered? I mean, they are thousands of years older then any of the standard trek races.

I've never heard of the Ciadans or the Noxter before. Races you are creating yourselves? That's a neat idea, but, and let me just ask this to get it out of my system, why go through and create whole new races when you still have standard trek races that you've not included yet? Especially since you do seem to have several of your community who are asking for them.

Sorry, a little devil's advocate there, I'll stop. Really though, I'm good with whatever, and a merc group that mixes Cardassian, Kazon, and a few of the other Misc races isn't a bad idea. I've got a few more suggestions, but I'll move to the correct section of the forums instead of beating this dead horse over and over.
