I agree with you, you should keep it to the game. However, the game title slips my mind at the moment, but how about remoddling stfc or, dare I say, scrapping that idea, and making it into something like an age of empires type game? Let me explain what I mean. I use age of empires because of the idea that I have, not because of any other thing.
Right, what am thinking, is that the player, could be allowed to manufacture their own fleets. Starting off with basic shuttles to run abouts to various types of star ships including constitution galaxy etc etc etc. you would have to build various types of ship yards to produce the different types of vestles. Also in order to produce the various ships and weapons and the like, you would need to mine for them. Which means taking over planets for mining, defending them from your enemy with either star bases or ships of what ever kind. Whilst I do like stfc and have played it a bit, to me at least, it's very similar to GMA's trek 2000 and to see something as advanced as this in a star trek context would be great. Any thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: 04 February 2008 17:46 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] stfc question Hi, It is true that STFC 2.0 is still in the works, but I really don't like the idea of letting end users modify the ship stats. The idea behind STFC was a turn based simulation based on the Star Trek tv series. As a result most of the stats were taken strait out of the Star Trek technical manuals, or based on information gathered on Star Trek Next Generation, Deep Space 9, and Voyager shows. For example, let us think about the Galaxy-Class. The original Galaxy-Class starships such as Enterprise NCC 1701-D carried 250 photon torpedoes, shield strength of 2260 gigawatts of power, could sustain a maximum warp of 9.6 for 12 minutes, Type X phaser emitters, etc. The upgraded Galaxy-Class as seen on DS9 carried an extra 25 photon torpedoes and carried some extra armor, but was esentually the same hull design, ship specs, as the original Galaxy-Class. For non-Trek fans I can see their desire to make the game more like Smugglers III with ability to add more powerful phaser emitters, better shields, better warp engines, but for Trek fans like me it would not be true to Star Trek. If you gave the Galaxy-Class an unreasonable amount of photon torpedoes like 400 it would be totally untrue to the show, and that is a turn off for me. Not only that, but there would be no challenge in the game if you could upgrade shields, phasers, and torpedoes to a point you are like all powerful. As it happens I did base most of the starships in STFC 1 on the Sovereign-Class, and do to lack of information at the time I got some things flat wrong. I hope to correct that in 2.0 when I get a chanse. shaun everiss wrote: > UNFORTUNATELY NOT, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY COULD BE, 2.0 IS STILL > IN DEVELOPMENT, SO TOM MAY WANT TO CONCIDER THAT. i HAVE NEVER > CONCIDERED A MISSION EDITER, ETC ON THE GAME, OFCAUSE THATS A LOAD MORE WORK THOUGH. > --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
