Mixed-tech Additions to Database/Strategy Sections on Guide?
posted on June 14th, 2011, 11:06 pm
Hi:
yesterday, after a hard fought battle, i was reading more about the mixed-tech possibilities of the Klingons, and I noticed an entirely different ship class the E'djen available for the Klingons with a Fed ally. Yet, despite the nice description, there isn't a corresponding ship listed in the database in which the build time, resources required, and strengths of the ship are enumerated. The same could be said for the Miranda II, for example. Is it possible to have an addition to these pages reflecting that? Similarly, could a mixed-tech section be added to the counter tables, showing what the ships actually might counter, soft or hard? Such information I think would be helpful generally, but especially to players with less experience. I think some of the mixed tech, had I gone to it earlier, might have made a difference in the battle.
Thanks.

The new database will include build times for mixed tech units and assorted features 
. I have not yet considered whether they will be considered in the counter tables at large due to their rarity, but that is certainly a strong possibility

For anybody who isn't familiar with the scarce Mixed Tech yards, each race has a unique ship they can get through mixed tech with a specific ally.
Federation: Miranda II, Dominion ally, long-range pulses that slaughter small ships
Dominion: Dreadnought, any ally, big ship with different stats for each race. The Romulan one is best!
Romulan: Saeihr, Klingon ally, for when you feel like using a ship with 18 defense and 50 offense.
Klingon: Edjen, Federation ally, drops scrambling drones which are like nanites on steroids. Nasty ship.
Borg don't have mixed tech right now. I expect to see adaption modules for specific races come back in the future.
I developed a very fun (although very difficult) double Saeihr spam strategy in the last patch, I wonder if it would still work now?
I would be happy with guide entries for just these 4 ships, but every mixed-tech ship would be nice as well. I'd be willing to help put the stats into a list if you decide to go ahead and do it.

The new database uses a parser to inhale the stats from the ODFs (far easier and not prone to my mistakes), but thank you for the offer
It will not take much effort to put in the extra ships that are currently there, so it's not really all that big of a deal that mixed-tech will disappear and reappear sometime later
