As far as i'm aware the ship lists have already been mostly decided. If you want more info PM the administrators (Jigalypuff, Gturfrey et al) or check out the ships for the game thread:

Hope this helps!

Probably because they haven't been designed yet. From what I have heard the game will be downloadable in phases. When first released, you will only be able to play as the federation. As time progresses, there will be additional modules able to download including the other races until they all have been completed. This way we do not have to wait too long in order to be able to play the game.

From what I have head the first version will be downloadable within 2 months

Of course because you're working for the Tal Shiar you get all the inside info lol j/k

You mean I have to play as the Feds first?! O.o oh well, know your enemy and all that

You don't have to. But hence the fed module will be the first finished you maybe would like to do. Of course, you can wait til the romulan playmodule is done and tehn have your first game ^^

err.... nah :p :D

I'm sure even Martocticvs can make a few compromises sometimes

the thing im confused about is will this mean the only major empire be the feds?. so u just go about taking on minor races. The other races wont have specific stuctures otherwise?

*edit*

/200th post

i think that whiel the other 'normal' major races will be included, u can only play the federation- and technically there arent any major/minor labels anymore...minor empires can expand in this too now!

yea but they are limited to x number fo systems.

teaser

one word


Awesome

Especially the first one imho. What ship types are they? [I know the mid one is a battlecruiser ^^]

Edit: The last one look like a troop transport to me.

That has to be true! In that case, I wonder. If it aren't the ship models, then what is the reason the game will come out in modules? Is it realy only the music and UI that has to be made for the other races later on??

btw: those models are just GREAT, jig! Keep up the good work!!!

There are ingame sounds as well. And don't forget the random and intel texts, they will be different for each race!

i love the battle cruiser, the others are cool too

Impressive...... They will fit in excellent into my Romulan command structure.. If nothing else... fun for target pratice

Great models jig, they keep getting better and better. Have you designed the Bug Ship yet (Also Dominion Fighter)?

Get loads of Dominion Ship pics and profiles at http://www.dominionwars.com
Click Enter, then Ship Profiles and then any of the Dominion Ships or any others for that matter

so will we be looking at a balance between each races ships? I.E. firepower vs speed vs shielding type of comparsion..? Of course it want really matter much to the Romulan Star Empire. For in the end we will contol the Universe.

Since I can't resist a good Romulan comment...

1st, What command structure? Those commanders that loose to doctor holograms?


God knows they need it.

:drool: battleship... Yum!

Rofl!!!!! My command structure is the best in the whole of the Romulan Empire. My green comanders can wipe out any Federation fleets sent against them,and thats being uncloaked!!! Just took on 15 crusier II's in my current game, it was not pretty for the Feds. I had forgot about the ship as it sat at an outpost. The Feds took out the outpost and ran away like a girl who got her hair pulled, then came back next turn and got a whoopin!

Battleship huh? (thinking it's more like a rubber dingy! ),

Let me learn how to play online. Then we can dance! lol

Lmao. No comment, your post is comment enough...


Heh, just met a Romulan fleet. 14 of those UGLY cruisers, 7 Warbirds, and more of those ugly little destroyers than I can count (cirra. 30). All cloaked
VS.
13 Defiants...

Heh, it was an overkill... The worst casualties were the USS Stargazer and the Alaska. 70% shield damage

Btw, it's hard to scrape Romulans of a starship deck




Please note in bold, the only true part of this statement. BEFORE you fell asleep and dreamt the rest

Either the Romulans were crap or you're damn good at BOTF. Try some Valdore's next time

I't the AI after all. They always seem to chose the wrong tactics. I'd have taken out at least 7 Defiants the first turn.

Guys, the Romulans fired only the first turn, and then RETREATED. You're right, a human player could have decimated the Defiants... Not 7 in the first volley, though, but decimated. The AI is dumb as sh*t...

Anyway, I just don't like Romulans.


What do you mean "either"

And the AI will be much better in BOTF2

I'll kinda miss the easy victories... But, I'll love the new battles
All hail Gavin, god of programing and all things electronic...

I'm sure Gavin will get used to being worshiped by all Trekkies when it gets released

Good point

It was mentioned a few months ago that the game might be released in the shops, is this going to happen?

Also hhas anyone notified StarTrek.com or the gaming press yet.
