Long live the Federation!!!
Make it so!!

"*****" im Englischen bedeutet "Geil sein".
In dem Kontext meinst du also, dass der Mod rattig wäre ;) :D
Du koenntest aber "awesome", "super", amazing" etc. nehmen...

I fully concur!

Concerning the vote:
I really like the dev team and already gave you my vote and convinced others to do so as well.
You guys make an incredible job and you fondly take care of so many details like implementing the Prometheus class (for the first time in a ST strategy game if I recall right) or placing Promellians as a minor race or Species 8472 as an event....

Just you, GulDukat , are annoying with the glorification of the Cardassian Union.
Really makes me wish to feed you some Federation ideals! :D ;) :*

But you manage to play the role very well and i would look forward to have a match with you once in a time. :)
And: Thank you for your videos!

Federations values are predictable, I agree on that.
Still the Federation gets an advantage through unification of diversity.
All different member races with different thinking and approaches on the battlefield of politics and war can confuse the enemy.
I like it that in "Prelude to Axanar" this factor was implemented.

For sure she has.
It is hard though surviving without any Starfleet assistance and a friendly starbase to patch you up.... any other vessel would have fallen apart much sooner and not even making it on a planets surface in one piece.
Intrepids are the best, they offer nice personal recreation facilities like Galaxy vessels but are much smaller to keep some family atmosphere up, still not to small like the Defiant which is rather spartanic...
Intrepid would be the perfect ship to fit my needs^^

Don't worry my friend. I am like you.
Always there to defend Federation ideals.
And btw, I like your profile picture. Intrepid class FTW!

Guys I got a question regarding planetary takeover.
As it was mentioned by you the devs, the small details matter as you have shown with the drydock bee worker shuttles.

But what about planetary bombardement? The Federation for instance would never bomb an entire planetary population!

Did you get an idea concerning this issue?
Maybe give the Federation "shuttles" who are sent down to "evacuate" an enemy planet's population.

What do you think?

I think you refer to the new Abrams- Star Trek movies concerning "Nokia".
You might have forgotten that it is THANKFULLY an alternative universe...

And thanks for looking into the matter. I appreciate it.
Could really be that the AI is ruining a bit the day because of the reasons you described.

May it be possible to change the AI behavior then somehow?

And don't weaken the Intrepid. From a canon point of view it is stronger than other races counterparts. But if you do you should start next with Akira and many other fed vessels... ;)

Well it kinda makes sense though.
Starfleet builds vessels to last. Families are usually on board as well. The quality of Federation technology is superior than those of the Klingons or Romulans.
They take their strength out from brute force or cunning/stealth.

I just don't understand why YOUR Intrepid passes the test while mine he gets always shredded.

I will look more into the other factions and see what I can report there.

Like make it stronger but more expensive so it is more unique as a very long range exploration vessel.
Think about it, Starfleet doesn't develop ships for Deep Space Exploration that can't defend themselves.
And for Armada 3: If it is stronger but more expensive people would use it not for mass construction but it would finally make sense to use them as a valuable (!) asset to the fleet :)

What do you think?

Weakening the Miranda won't fix the problem the Intrepid has right now.But if you do you have to check all the equivalent frigates of other races...
Do you want Intrepid to be Starfleet Support Cruiser as described? Then make it tougher so it can fulfill its role.Also it is written that she is strong against "none" in which part i disagree but at least give it higher defensive value as it got a very modern "duranium-tritanium" armor in the shows and the most modern shields.

I got the fact that you see this ship fully different as I do but can't we at least find a smart compromise here? Its not that I promote this ship for no reason

I meant *dying like Redshirts* ;) :)

I replied to several comments about the Intrepid issue and want to give you just one more hint: The armor value is too low compared to other cruisers. You guys want it as a support cruiser, ok granted, but how can it support ships with this low defense value in armor and shields? Especially the armor is ridicolously low, that is the reason why the Intrepids are dying... i mean even the 150 years older Miranda frigate excels better in combat... I think you get my point :)

The Intrepid got more advanced Shields than a Galaxy Class Vessel and a more efficient Warp Drive that allows it to have a higher energy efficiency. The Maximum Speed of the ship is later just excelled by the Sovereign which - like i already said - is based on the Intrepid.

Otherwise some global information since I don't think I am allowed to post the official technical manual of the Intrepid here as a pdf:

Thank you for answering to my long post.

Though I am aware of the fact that the Tricobalt torpedoes were not a normal loadout it was just a side argument to show that Starfleet entrusted one of its vessels with this weaponry.

You stated that due to its size it couldn't bear so much damage, but well the Voyager was able to fight Tactical Borg Cubes far superior that a Galaxy Class vessel.

Also by Star Trek canon the Intrepid and Galaxy are still of similiar strength... what the Galaxy can bring on with Size the Intrepid has with Speed....

Even smaller the Defiant was able on many occassions to blow away much larger enemies...

PS: I forgot to mention that I LOVE the idea with the Hero ships. Enjoy it alot.

But what plans do you guys have when the building you can request the heroes from gets destroyed?

Part 2 of my comment:
In SOA2 they made the Intrepid the heavy Cruiser with an AntiBorg ability that - we all watched Voyager - seemes reasonable but the Intrepid was a bit too strong.
In Armada 3 she is to weak.
I read all the Technical Manuals and I don't feel she is represented correctly.
The Intrepid class vessel was designed to be Starfleets most advanced Long Range Exploration vessel.
For instance the armor the Intrepid got was superior to the one of a Galaxy class vessel (The Galaxy relies on its powerful shields..)
Next fact is that the Intrepid got advanced weaponry (Voyager even used Tricobalt torpedos in the Pilot episode)
Its computer technology (bio-neural-gelpacks) is far superior to any other Starfleet vessel expect the Sovereign for example.

I think because of its advanced technology you guys gave the Intrepid the ability to pinpoint "VIP" targets and to find cloaked ships.
But that is more the job of a scout, the In trepid if more self-sustainable.

But in many things the Sovereign class is an enhanced version of the Intrepid (holographic projectors for the EMH in sickbay, long range capabilities, maneuverability etc.etc.)

In every game I play the Intrepid is one among the first ships of my fleet that die... even in the latest DEV video I saw that Intrepid was the first Redshirt to go and thats why decided to write my comment :)

Hello creators and fans of this great Star Trek mod!

I have to split my comment into 2 pieces due to the limit!

First of all I have to say that I am so glad hat there is a team that puts such a passion into creating a world that doesn't just say it is Star Trek but actually FEELS like Star Trek.

I can really see your efforts and I am happy that my favorite series/universe gets a new incarnation here.

Because of this reason I want to mention a few things.
I also played the "Sacrifice of Angels 2" Star Trek mod in the past and had countless of fun with it and I really respect this team but I think you guys could create a better Trek world.

What I liked is that you try to simulate the different economies the factions have.
The Federation with its utopian idealist post-capitalist economy gets well represented (for the needed "growth" factor you guys used the Ferengi in the tech tree, very smart!)
I have to admit that I prefered it if you could show the tech tree even more idealist-utopian as the Federation is "ridicoulous cool" in showing off ideals. We all know the TV shows...

Also the feudalist system of the Klingons got well implemented, to Romulans and Borg I cannot say much because I didn't focus on them yet.

Still my main critics lies in a different sector:
Guys you messed up the Intrepid class :D ;) !

I say it so straight forward on purpose, not to be respectless at all. AS I said in the beginning I love the passion and the detail you put into this work as you even have done with the differentiation of the economies as stated above but this ship doesn't fit its role.
