The Dominion is known for conquering and occupying whole worlds, therefore their Mix-Tech feature got a bit special compared to the Mix-Tech of other races. Instead of gaining only one complete new unit for one unique alien technology they will gain their new Mix-Tech vessel for every captured race: The famous Dreadnought! Its basic stats however will be modified dependent on the alien technology you got it from.

Looks awesome

I'm a tad confused as to how it works though - if you capture, say, a Romulan and a Federation unit that you use for Mix-Tech, does the Dreadnought get +50 Defensive AND +50 System values, or does it just get whichever you captured first?

I was wondering the same thing...or maybe the mixed-tech mechanic only ever allows you to have alien technology at a time?

You capture a Constructor from the Romulans, then you build den Mixtechyard (Romulan) and research Capture Technology, the you can build all Mixtech Ships the Dominion gets from the Romulan. Expample: The Dominion Dreadnought with +50 Offensiv Value

from the murky depths he returns: Detektor!


so, where is baron?

[::edit:] so i can only build that behemoth when I have a partner in crime?
[::edit2:] what means incapitated, does that mean:: dead in space? or does that mean: I ignore all orders you give and continue with that what you told me last?

incapacitated targets can not act, ergo can't do nothing but receiving damage. a given order will be executed once the effect wears off

Yep, the dreadnought is only available if you have a non-Dominion ally or if you captured a non-Dominion constructor. Luckily the new War Frigate is a troopship which makes capturing single targets much more comfortable

Sweeeet ! That Dreadnought has an incredible amount of details, looks like I'm gone need to buy a new video card. By the way, are there some options in video settings to tune the game to play smoothly on those not so powerful systems ? Like in "Company of Heroes" if you know what I mean, that game has tones of setting in video windows, and with the right setting I've able to play it on my old rig at 1280x1024. I have an lcd display and at any resolution other than the native one look bad. Thanks and keep up the good work

if you had no issues with 3.0pr then you won't have any with v3.0 final. despite vessels and stations have alot more details now, in most cases the final version should be even running faster than the preview release version.

Hehe, everyone..... prepare to be fuck3d
Sounds awesome from the describtion, I like the special weapon too

1 question though: What are its weapons? Torpedo or beam based? From the screens I would say beam but in the show it was torpedo. So if you can clear that up Id be very happy



All in all: Great job as always
