So how soon can we expect this patch? It better be good, because it seems like its taken way longer than any of the other content patches  >:(

I'm kidding, even if all you do is implement this I'll be happy with the wait  :D

I'm guessing the Heroes thing is going to use the Credit sytem from before... maybe?

Very Nice touch to things! In some cases I think its actually better than the flagship system in Sword of the Stars. While you can design your flagship, you still have it limited to a DN and a CnC/Barrage combination. With this, even the weakest ship could become a veteran demonstrating its skills and/or luck in battle.

@ Unleash


Actually, the 3.0.2 patch took waaaaaaaaaay longer then any other patcjh for FO3 to date.

Anyway, Flagships?!!!!
I can finally have a head of destroyers (Monsoon), head of Cruisers (Intrepid or Excelsior (not II!), whichever costs less),head of Battleships (Excel-II ), and, finally, Sov or Descent for big boss.

I think Excel II is a heavy cruiser

Wow, you guys are amazing. Seriously, if the game designers saw this (And I almost wish that they did), they'd probably crap in their pants, and beg you for the game. Seriously, you guys are like a living Scotty. Amazing.

Agree Auxillo... in that rather colorful manner

Scotty is so the best engineer ever... and this will be the best patch yet.

I also had an idea for the Borg: Speakers.

Something like, Locutus of Borg, Martok of Borg, Sela of Borg and so on. I saw this once in the star trek card game, they had these "locutus versions" for all playable races, to give them advantages over them.

Don't forget, from the novel Vendetta - Vastator of Borg, the Ferengi!

More on topic, I love it already!  Looking forward to seeing how horrifying a Veteran Leahval is!

At long last, Breen hero ships!

This idea just explodes with epicness.

the credits system was more a workaround as we didn't have any way to make a proper ship cap in armada 2. as very complex ship limitations are now possible with the new cap files in newer 3.0 versions, there is no need for a global credits limitation anymore.

Veteran abilities are always shared between two or three vessel. For example: both the B'rel and the K'Vort gain Double-Cannon Disruptors, while the Saber, the Monsoon and the Norway gain Type XV Phasers. Discover them all in the next patch!

I can't wait to see what the Galaxy gets. The Warp-Ins count too, right?
