Bring back the Doomsday Device!!!
« on: February 11, 2003, 06:47:41 pm »
In one of David Farrell's recent posts he mentioned that the new SFC3 patch will add two new missions including a monster mission.  As a long time fan of the Doomsday Device from SFC1 (and hidden in SFC2 as a special), I would like to request that we add the good old DD back into SFC3!

While it is true the thing is hard to kill, it is a blast during a PvP mission. If you can tractor your enemy into it (or your wingman, and I SWEAR that was an honest mistake WIndy!), it's one of the best missions in the game.

I would recommend giving it a more speed, some nasty weapons and make it HUNGRY!

I don't want any Sungliders or plasma burpers! Give me the Doomsday Device!

  I've been asking for this ever since SFC 2... C'mon Dave.... Spill it, will we have the Doomsday Machine back in some form?? I bet it would give the Borg some problems assimilating it.... This needs answering.... Oh, Dave.....

It's hidden in SFC2 as a special?

How do I...activate, the Doomsday Machine?

Edit the shiplist with MS Excel or soemthing like it.
.. change the "SPECIAL" to "MONSTER" beside the ships noted as "M-DMS", "M-DMM", "M-DML".
Save preserving the current format.

Yep, the Chief Medical Officer of the U.S.S. Constellation sure loves to use ice-cold rectal thermometers during the annual physical.  





Im not surprised, the CMO was just transferred from the U.S.S. Eichmann!

   Bumping to hear Taldren's answer...  Any chance of seeing the Bird of Bethke 2.0 appearing? That was also a nasty mother to fight against too... I'd attach the audio link to the Doomsday machine, but I forgot the link DOH!

These missions are not official and will not be with the patch.

  Once they release the monster mission, I wonder how hard will it be for someone to bring them in from SFC I/II?

  On a side note, there was a TNG novel that deals with the Doomsday device, Some surviving member of a race destroyed by the Borg went looking for the origin and found that the one encounter in the original series was only a small prototype and a fleet of them was in storage at the galactic edge. Anyone read that on?

Sorry Dave, I read your post and thought they were;

NP.

As far as mission diversity goes, there should be two more missions coming out around the time of the patch,
by some Nerdlat fellow: Surprise Reversed and a monster mission.

We still hope to get more out of this poor fellow, but no timeline has been set.

Thanks,

Dave
