New Avatars?

posted on September 5th, 2010, 12:16 pm

Hello foks, well i play fleet ops since one year now i think. I have to say the fleet ops development team has done a teriffic good job the mod is much better tan the original game ever was!! 

I have one question sice i heard that the full version of fleet ops shall have 4 avatars for every race and a singleplayercampaign does anyone knows if there are already plans for the third avatar for every race?

i think that every race has just about enough cool ships (one or 2 more classes would also be cool but i dont think absolutely necessary).

If there are not any plans for the third avatar well my suggestion is to start with the federation because they have the most amount of shipdesigns wich currently are not in the game or are planed as map objects and thats a waste of cool design in my opinion. So why not start to plan a third avatar with them.

Ships currently not buildable for the federation.

For example:  Saber 2 class (sa replacement for saber 1 for the new avatar)
                    New orleans class
                    centaur class ( as replacement for the akira class for the new avatar)
                    prometheus class
                    curry class
                    the yeager type class
                    And one more ship i dont know the class Uss zenith. that would be a cool feature too some kind of a big battleship for the feds like the dreadnought for the dominion. Maybe with additional phaserbanks( as special ability)

And i have one request. Could you do something about that fed klingon mixed tech possibilities.
I think they are not offensive enough if you cosider you are allied with a warrior race! I mean you can build that repairship with has practically no fighting value and you can build it just three times that is a handycap.
My suggestion would be a new mixed tech ship something like a mixture of a bird of prey and a defiant class with acloaking device. Ether this ship should be a medium cruiser available 20 times like the miranda 2 or it should be slightly bigger the a defiant class vessel but faster and not limited in his availability so the federation would realy have some new tactical advantage by beeing allies with the klingons.

Please dont get me wrong you guys!! You have did a great job so far with this mod. Maximum RESPECT
These are just some suggestions.

I suggest you read the guide: The Main Page - The Hitchhiker's Guide to Fleet Operations
Project progress: Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - Project Progress
and have a read through the forms a bit.

You made some decent suggestions but probably worth your while catching up on current discussions.

PS: welcome to the forums.  Hope to see you online.

Hi mate and welcome to the forums  . I'll try to answer each question in a list

1. There are indeed plans for the third avatars already - but I'm sure the devs are open to more suggestions

2. The redoes will introduce some additional units for each side.

3. Mixed-Technology is getting quite changed in an upcoming patch . If you look at the Dev Blog section of the forum, you will already see one design for the Fed/Kling mixed-tech

Hey guys thanks for the welcome!!! And thanks for your replies.
Thats good to know that there are already plans for the new avatars

I read through the forums a bit and i noticed that you have a lot of work already!

Now i dont know anything about modding and i guess i cant be of any help to you in this perspective.
Didnt wanna sound like an inconsiderate douchebag ( hope i can say that)

Cant await to see the new features. Keep on modding

greetings from Germany Falaffelboy

Don't worry about bringing old topics up.  That happens frequently 

Its great that you want to contribute ideas.  I'm sorry if my response was a little terse, i was rushing the post.

I have one last question regarding this topic. Since this is not a current topic. Where can i send my suggestions so that the developers who are creating the new avatars can see them. I mean if i should have any good ideas anytime soon or so.

Than they can take whatever seems reasonable or practical for the new avatar(s) and eventually bring them up for further discussion when the time seems right.

Well, it was strange you posting this topic in this forum.  New ideas and suggestions regarding FleetOps belong in: Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - Ideas and Feature Requests

So you can put any future ideas in there and the devs are watching and listening and it opens up the suggestion for feedback and criticism.  You could always PM the devs but if you do then only the devs will consider the idea.

By posting it openly you could get support from the community for your idea to be implemented or people may spot problems with your idea that you didn't notice.

Happy posting!

EDIT:

Here are a couple of relatively recent topics on the subject of avatars:
Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - Federation avatars
Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - New Fed Avatar (personal project) - ideas and suggestions

As far as I know, Optec generally prefers that ideas are posted in the forums
