Star Trek: Armada III begins with the first stirrings of the Dominion War and allows players to take command of five unique factions, the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassian Union/Dominion Alliance, and the Borg Collective. Explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no one has gone before.
The Dominion warship designated by Starfleet as the 'Manticore' is a very recent addition to the Dominion fleet. Bridging the gap between the small Scarab attack ship and the great battleships, carriers and dreadnoughts in the Dominion's arsenal, the Manticore fills the role of a swift and very deadly attack cruiser.
Entering service alongside the Chimera battlecruiser, with which it shares some of its design features, the Manticore is essentially a much larger version of the Scarab, only with significantly more firepower and durability. The Manticore's speed and manoeuvrability in combat rivals that of ships with only a fraction of its mass. Its firepower is also nigh unmatched among cruiser-weight ships, the Dominion's polaron-based weaponry cutting through shields with ease. A specialised heavy polaron beam completes the picture, allowing the Manticore to deal blows that are devastating even to ships much larger than itself.
Much like the Scarab, the Manticore is relatively cheap and quick to construct, echoing the Dominon's penchant for overwhelming their enemies with virtually limitless numbers.
ALL DAT AFT
DAT AFT is not enough.
you are looking at its front D:
Ah seeing classics... on a slightly related note has anyone here seen the "new" designs for Dominion ships from STO for the 25th century? Always wanted to hear others opinions on their design choice.
I like the new t6 attack ship, but the new heavy escort looks a little too...flat? maybe?
I haven't seen their new attack ship unless you mean the Strike Ship. I kinda like them but.. I dunno something feels weird about them like they see to Science Destroyer like, like the colour scheme looks identical. Which is weird, why would the Dominion have Solonae technology?
DEM AFTS
DEM STERNS!?
No, it is of course DEM BOWS!
