fed squards Thread - Star Trek Meets Star Wars mod for Star Wars: Empire At War

i would like to change the subject to
how does ship building for startrek works in the mod
my idea was that we can build
1. individual ships like in EAW
(capital ships like soverign, galaxy, warbird etc)

2. fighter squard
(for smaller ships like akia, interprid, sabre)

i would like to explain how fighter squard work

the squard
origin: x wing/tie squard
reduce number of fighters to 1,
then use a interprid(whatever) image
armed with laser
(change effect to star trek phraser if possible)

origin: y wing/tie bombmer squard
reduce number of bombmers to 1
then use a akia(whatever) image
armed with topredo (with effect to star trek topredo if possible)

then increase the attack and HP of the 'squard'
may be simular to covette/tatarn crusier

the squard give them speed and manuover ability (as we can see how fighters move in EAW)
makes them hard to target (because they are 'fighter')

imagine a mixed of EAW fighter and bombmer squard
with the image of federationships with hp and attack similar to a covette/tatarn crusier

this are great idea's! I don't have time to comment on them now though
keep them comming!

the problem with this is that thos ships are much larger than the fighters but I do agree if they can be made larger with the same attributes of the fighters then it sounds like a great idea.

well the Sabre is about as close as we are going to get for a fighter, since that is its class. But the Sabre would not be dueling X-wings, that would be for the shuttle pods and that such.

I agree. the feds have shuttles and scout ships for fighter and bomber work.

For fighters I have a few suggestions. The shuttles are an obvious choice but for bombers the Danube runabout from DS9 could be good bombers since they have an upgrade that adds a photon torpedo launcher.

the reason i suggested akia(whatever) medium size fed ship is i don't think those startrek pods/shuttle would stand a chance against tie/xwings
and as fed ships are small, pathaticly smaller than starwars ships, so i would see them more powerful in 'fighter' class
so using medium/small fed ships in squard would surely be an avantage over starwar fighters
and it gives them another advantage as fighters counter capital ships in the game

i have an idea of special attack
how about cloaking for romulans

well actually most star trek ships are larger than the frigates in star wars. Only the giant capital ships like the Star Deastroyer the Mon Clamari cruiser and the Victory class are bigger. the Akira is 440 meters long.

Also on shuttles not being a match for X-wings. If youve watched any series they ar highl mauvurable and have on multiple occasions taken direct hit from a capital ships main weapons. Now I'm not saying they are as manverable as an x-wing or a tie fighter but they can take way mor punishment. An x-wing would be vaporized by a phaser from a capital ship(galaxy , Negvar)

oic, thanks for the explanation
i also found out a pod like fighter seemed called Delta fighter
which is a fed fighter used in dominon war
and being mass produced because the voyager sppriciate their performance

then may be the system of startrek unit would change it to
1. indivifual unit (capital ships - soverign, galaxy etc)
2. unit based on fighter squard (medium size ship - sabre, akria etc)
3. fighetr squard (pod/shuttle)

see even then it isn't right. Star Trek has fighters there ships can have speed and turning arc increased so they are more manuverable but making them into fighter squadrons doesn't realy make sense since even there smallest ships are around the same size of a correilian corvette.

but how to give the speed and turning arc(more important) if it is an individual ship?
as long as this could be code, of cause we don' t have to make them based on a fighter squadrons

We don't ive already mest around ith the code for Star wars ships. It is possible to make them faster and more manuverable, I'v done it.

oic
if that is possible, then it would be a lot easier

yes it is, I mad my own mod, I called it mini-wars, I made all the ships smaller faster and mor manuverable

then in that case we cold remain the mechanism similar to the present EAW
but provided that startrek ship can turn arc(look forward to seeing it)

My mod or the turning arc.

look feds have fighters look at Starfleet comand 2 also the delta fiter soooo wrong its the delta flier plus its a heave combat shutle beter for a hero ship than fighter pluse starfleet has the pengerine and the scout ships i forget the class at the moment.

galaxy as the feds equevilant to the star destroyers/Mon Cals
akira to the assalt frigs/vic star destroyers
intrepid to the neb Bs/aclimators
steamrunner to merader/broad side crusers
miranda to correlion gunship
saber to the blokade runners/tarrtean crussers
delta flyer to melenium falcon/boba feat
defiant/escort peregrine to darth vader/red squad
soverign/enterprise-e to admeral ackbar/and imps stardestroyer hero

i would like to change the sub to races here i dont think u can add races to the game so i was thimking cause iv writen som stvssw parides and i have fed klingons on reb imps with rom and maybe dominion cause there preaty much the same filsofy
