8472, Cardassian's, Enterprise-E, Martok, Locutus, and Borg

posted on August 4th, 2011, 2:50 pm

I'm new to the forums and Fleet Op's. I don't know if this has been brought up or not but I'm just throwing it out there. What I would like to see in fleet ops is Species 8472 with the graphics and all they would be more sinister looking than they were in the original Armada II. I would also like to see the Cardassians being thrown into the fray as well for the whole Dominion thing also since DS9 was a Cardassian Station which was occupied by the Federation I would like to see it be able to be built by the Federation and Cardassians. On another note I read on here on one of the posts of having Martok as a possible warp-in if thats the case why not have Picard as well. Oh, as for the Romulans a Scimitar Class Reman Warbird would be nice with it's Scorpion II attack fliers. As for the Borg under OPTIMIZE you gain access to the Borg Queen automatically after you select OPTIMIZE and under ASSIMILATE you gain access to Locutus automically after selecting ASSIMILATE also a tactical or regular fusion cube would be nice. Under the Federation I would like to see the USS-Typhon from Invasion as a buildable carrier, The galaxy class could use its saucer seperation feature again same goes for the Prometheus Class it needs it's multi vector attack mode, quantum torpedoes, pulse phasers, and more phasers. The Galaxy X with the 3 nacelles would be cool to see also with its phaser cannon and cloak. Speaking of cloak the Defiant class is missing one. The Premoniton needs its gemini effect. Another Federation ship I would love to see is the "Excalibur-Class". Fleet Ops is a great mod don't get me wrong I just feel its lacking somethings from the Star Trek universe.

Well...

1. Sorry, it is a long story, but Cardassians and 8472 will never be playable, but will be NPCs -Just cos this topic has been done a thousand times over. To put it as simple as possible, the devs plan to have a storyline for Fleet Ops, and the Cardassians and 8472 only have a very small part to play.

2. The Remans were enslaved by the Romulans (In the Fleet Operations storyline) so I highly doubt the Scimitar will appear as playable.

3. Most people here don't like hero units, so the Queen etc I doubt will be added. And the fusion cube won't be coming back, but a new Cube is going to be added soon. The Command Cube

But all that aside, welcome the the Fleet Operations Community!

Regardless of the Cardassian's and Species 8472 having small parts in the STU (Star Trek Universe) it wouls still be nice to see them. Reman's I can understand being enslaved by the Romulans but after Nemesis it could be said they made alliance with each other and shared tech and the Remans gave the Romulans the plans for the Scimitar or it could just have continued as was before Shinzon came to power and the Reman's remained enslaved but the Romulans somehow gained access to those plans. Also I'm not saying Fleet Ops needs a campaign mode or anything thats up to the Dev's to decide, I'm just saying it would be nice to have the "Hero" characters to or at least have them in the Map Editor. That way if people don't want to play them they don't have to but for those that do they can just create a map and put them in. Adding Species 8472 would enable people to recreate STV Episode Scorpion Part I & II or just use them to annihilate their enemies. Playing as the Jem'Hadar and The Breen is alright but its not the Dominion. The Dominion was composed of Cardassian's, Jem'Hadar, and Breen. It would just be cool to be able to create a Dominion Wars Scenerio. Another Federation ship that could replace the Premonition, be built, or put under Uncommon stuff is the USS Relativity. And I still would like to see the Prometheus get its multi vector attack mode and some more weapons added to it, Galaxy Class with saucer seperation ability, Defiants cloak without mixed tech, Galaxy X/Refit with its 3 necelles, cloak, and phaser cannon, and the Excalibur Class. For the Borg The Queen, Locutus, and both fusion Cubes could be added to the Uncommon stuff in the map editor's list.

I'm just saying with my additions it would make Fleet Ops more original and diverse yet have homeage to the Star Trek Universe. Think of it as an insentive there would be alot more people playing Fleets Ops if it had my additions. They'd be like OMG I can build the Scimitar or OMG I can play as Locutus or Picard, ect, ect. They could tell everyone else that has Aramada II to get this mod then and you would alot more being drawn into Fleet Ops.

I don't wanna piss anyone off, offend anyone, or be a pain in the a55. I'm just stating my opinion on the issue.

Cardassians will be seen, just not yet.

Relativity replacing the Premonition wouldn't make sense, it's from centuries in the future while the Premonition would be from FO past (seemed to be in use only a few days after main timeline A1 was set). Uncommon sounds good, but it doesn't seem to have the time-travel abilities needed.

Imagine the Tavara of beeing a mass production version of the scimitar... its far more powerfull than a souvereign and the only difference is, it can not shoot while being cloaked.

Here is what I know about these requests and any plans related to them:

1. Cardassians: Large scale NPC race
2. Species 8472: Event based NPC race
3. Martok and other heroes: Are being added in for campaign purposes, unknown if they will ever factor into Instant Action and Multiplayer
4. USS Typhon: Currently is on the to do list and will end up as a Federation ship. Unknown if it's buildable or not.
5. Saucer Separation: Pretty sure the devs do not like the idea but I can't confirm or deny.
6. Prometheus MVAM: I believe it's being worked on, the Prometheus actually is a map object in the game right now.
7. Galaxy X: Unknown
8. Cloaking Defiant: Unknown, but would not be surprised if it became a mixed tech unit.
9. Gemini Effect: Unknown, though I think it's a largely disliked and wacky ability.
10. Excalibur: Unknown, but I like that ship too and would not mind seeing it.

8. Cloaking Defiant: Unknown, but would not be surprised if it became a mixed tech unit.

What do you mean 'if it became' a Mixed-Tech unit? It already is... the post was about a mainstream Defiant with cloak (the second post, at least).

I am pleasantly surprised 

Considering that I rarely play as the feds and almost never see mixed tech though I'm not surprised this went by unnoticed by me.

It's been mixed tech for ages, minus an update or two were it was broken.
