im a new member and i love what you have done with this mod,exactly what it should have been,anyway i was thinking if you could create powerful attack fighters for the avatar example:the attack fighters that are used by the federation in the dominion war in ds9 for a federation avatar. it would be great if you could consider this for a avatar because i love small powerfull attack fighters.

Thanks for the info.with some modifications it could be made into a fast,powerful (for its class)scout or attack ship.the other races could have a similar attack vessel perhapes.if thats ok with the boys at the top

I also would like to see fighters and "carriers" put into the mod as well.Making carriers build fighters is easy, its just a matter of odf code and hp placement in the right places.
In fact you could put a hp on one side of the ship, and actually "warp them in" along the carrier just like the feds do at present.
Or perhaps use a invisible sod and texture in a wormhole effect as alternate choices.
I have SFC style fighters for all races except the ciadan and iconians.Optec could use them as references to make new ones if he likes.

Here is a Federation carrier by Major Payne that was in Shockwave mod, its called the Draven Class:

I was thinking about putting the Star Wars sides into FO but the reason I didnt is weapons balancing issues I havent solved yet.
I was going to make the tie fighters varients and others ineffective against vessels larger then cruisers due to the shieldings.High manuevaribility with small photons and missle racks slung underneath.

I just couldnt think of a good way to balance 100 pulse type weapons onboard a sssd!

some vessels which can be hired (for example hydrian vessels) will have fighters. there also maybe a few avatar vessels which have fighters

It's Hydran actually.

I'm glad you are not going along the lines of giving every race a carrier and a set of fighters, cause that would be going back to the "A2 lets make every race have the same thing".

Actually, ventures vs generix work rather well

I didnt know you were adding the Hydrans, very good choice Optec!If you need "ideas" for there ships and stations I have about 20 Hydran models from A2 and SFC for you to view.I also have about 20+ hydran voice clips that you can base there voices on courtesy of Chris Jones.

Stylsy, every race had carriers and its not a strech of the imagination to see them ingame.
New types of ships are being added in Beta 3 as far as I know.

I just think fighters should be ineffective against bb's and larger craft.
