Topic: FEDS/SOVEREIGN WAY TOO OVER POWERED SFC3

[Praxis]

Perhaps your game is bugged.  I've heard of some people who's games become bugged and every shot hits and/or takes out an officer.

Try reinstalling...

A Borg Cube is way too overpowered, not a Sov.  The Cube can kill 2 or 3 Sov's, but costs the same as a Sov, which is unfair on the dnaverse.

 I think every now and again you run into a ship with legendary crew that will give you a good pounding know matter how good you are. I have had this happen to me a couple of times even with a legendary crew my self,It will wake you up defiantly. I have noticed Borg ships are not very fond of poloron torps. either.
 But then and again who wants to fly around being omnipotent? Where is the fun in that.

Maybe so, but Global Internet Chatting systems proclaim all caps to be considered yelling... I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate it if all my postings were completly in caps back to him.. plus he would have a hard time reading it as well, especially in white text on a black screen.. it is called eyestrain.

 I'm wondering how he got enough prestige to buy a Borg Cube in 3 days? He must have been playing non stop, And that would explain his demeanor? He or she is tired.  

[Pestalence]

Or they are playing Single Player and edited the Character.gf file for single player to where he could start off in a Borg Cube.
 

[Ravok]

 Ma by that would explain the prob hes having with the Quantum torps?

The Q-torps are the best at range. They give Feds an unfair advantage in base assaults, but not really in PvP. Close the gap! If range is someone's advantage, you'd better believe that my top priority would be to get into knife-fighting range. Two of the other three races have an ingenious advantage at this, a cloaking device, use it. Klinks have a decided advantage in maneuverability still, plus the most powerful weapon over time. The Roms have a decided Alpha strike advantage, with more forward-firing weapon slots and the highest single-shot damage weapon. As for the Borg, it has already been stated here that they get more bang for the buck with their ships.

A properly fitted Negh'var is a 24 hour wide awake nightmare to anything save for a Borg cube.

 I agree completely tho i favor the Vorcha my self. Any time i fly the Feds i use the same tactics to stay out of range of proximity's , which we all know can be a real pain in the Butt.
 The Soviets use the same tactics when using Tanks in Battle, It keeps them too close for Artillery to be used effectively.

    It is easy not in so many ways though all you do to take a cube out is target thier core if you are near a sun get as close a possiple and reinforce the shield facing the sun the borg have noe shield.This is the same with cloaked ships aswell.The best way to  take out or capture a cloaked ship is target the cloaking device.I hope this what you are all talking about here.I would not say the Sovereign is to over powered and it is slow at impulse speeds.In sp in skirmish mode it took me with an Akira with 2 Q. luanchers FA and 3 type 11F phasers 2 FA and 1 ALL I had a legendary tactical officer.It took me over an hour and forty minutes to take the cube out and my Akira could do up to 39 at full impulse with .98 in manerverabilty.I was able to use a cube totake out 2 sovereigns plus vorcha and three warbirds .I would say no way is a sovereign over powered.  

[Ravok]

 I don't think they are over powered  seeing as i have taken them down with a Kitinga myself.
 It pays to invest in good and intelligent Officers early on in the game.  Good  Tactical, Helm,Engineer and Ops. Officers That learn quickly are worth way more than the best weapon refit. Not to mention a competent Captain.  

[Age]

   Yes and that K tinga can cloak petty different from SFC2 SFC2OP is it.I like it to better than the Shriek but it is only a CL in EAW and OP it is a CA.It was a CA in 23C. just letting you know.  

[frazzle]

Hmm, I had SFC3 for a while, but I never knew all the 'stuff' that was in it. However, isn't it fun when you take down mighty big muthas with a few good tactics and fast, small, manouverable ships?

Never give up my son! Fly fast, stay low, hit hard. If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn't, shoot it anyway!  

[nx_adam_1701]

arent they suppose to be almighty and powerful anyways, if i remember correctly, the defiant used to take down Keldons and Galor with about 4 torpedoes, not destroy it but serverely damage it, and compared to the Way of the Warrior, it took three brel like forever to destroy a galor,and the enterprise e fire was it three or four at the borg sphere and destroyed it in seconds, i mean i know the game is supposed to be alittle balanced or atleast we hope but thats why they are called quantums, maybe they should be alittle more expensive and harder to get, i dont know if this can be done but maybe they should only be given to ships that have very experienced officers, and only be allowed on some ships or etc..., i dont know just a thought, in my mod, i usually well this is SFC2OP, not 3, but it could apply, I usually give certain starships quantums, and the ones that do get them get a certain amount,  regardless if the ship has lets say 8 torpedoes bays, i only give it to the forward section maybe one bay and thats it, the remainders are with standard photons, just to make it more realistic, not even the enterprise E has quantums all over the place, it only has a forward one, and the rest that the ship primarly uses are standard photons, ok, alittle too long sorwie

 Yea It is!! One of my favorite tactics is to start the game on the easiest setting Commander I believe it is, Sell my CL for a FF, Use all the extra Prestige to buy the bests Officers on the map( This may take allot of traveling!). When i have all my Officers on board, The i can fully refit my FF.
 Then i go collect a fleet and go looking for a fight. Its loads of fun then to go mob a Rom DN, Slowly rip it to shreds then capture the ship and collect all that prestige. I love it you gotta move fast stay out of her forward weapons arc and pray to what ever gods you pray to, Because if you get hit just once by this big P.Oed Bit#h you are toast.
 Another way to really test my self is take on a Borg Cube with a Vor`cha this can take up to an hour or more ( if i don't mess up ) It is the same thing one mistake, One slip up and you are toast i love it!!!!!

Tell the poster about those quantums.I like them it would be nice to have more than one torpedo in SFC1,2,2OP that all a little bit more powerful.It will be nice when they put a refit section in a newwer version of OP.But not right now in a few years maybe.
