Topic: Would a Romulan Civil War Server fly?

[Father Ted]

Actually, Jeff and I were talking about this a few weeks ago. I'd finally have a real excuse to fly Rommie.

Karnak's in a BCF.  Oh, bring it on Frogboy.

Hey DH, why does this phrase sounds so familiar.   I seem to think that I might just have said this in the 2v2 PvP mission where Dizzy and I died in GW3.    Is that where you got it?   Or am I just paranoid?   Or are you really out to get me?

Dizzy said that.   I figured it was ironic . . .

[WarSears]

I would play

Well, I didnt figure he'd bring on a DNH.

[Vorcha]

Blazinbud and I would fly it in a heartbeat.

What Chuut said. Plas vs Plas gets old fast.

[Mazeppa]

Problem would be that most fights would turn into 1 hour plus plasma duels.

And how is this a problem?   

I'm with DH on this one. 

At the beginning of a server, I get into a droner because I feel I HAVE to, to keep my team competitive, and farm PP.  But if we were ALL plasma chuckers....We could focus on the game.

There would need to be some sort of bonus for PvP that would greatly compensate for a two hour battle, both in PP and VC's, but I actually look forward to a long plasma duel.

Where's the sign-ups?

I'd be up for this,hell I'd be up for a civil war with all with any of the races.What better way could one learn and get used to flying the different races?

[FPF-DieHard]

Here's what I'm thinking so far . . .

- Two sides, imperial and republican factions (I'll look up the real names from X1 when I get home). 

- Kestrals and Eagles and one side, Hawks on the other.   This accurately represents the fleet layouyts from the SFB history.  I'm thinking uses the Klingons UI for the faction with the Kestrals?

- Full Draft, I'll need some hardcore Romulans to Lead the houses.

- Plasma-fighters and PFs for both sides.  What better way to test them out then on a server where both sides have the same cheese?

- Modded X-ships.  The SFB Romulan Civil War involved X-Squadron engagements.   SGODev is working on some modification of the OP+ X-ships so they play nicer with the GW-era vessels and there capabilties are closer to their SFB counterparts.  I'm thinking use these as the OOB ships instead of DNs?

- Destructable bases    , planets will be the "ground" that is fought over.

- One-ship-per-pilot is 90% likely

- 5000 starting PP and decent starting ships so you can jump right in the action.

- 2-3 Week run, let us see if KCW drags at 3 weeks or not.

Known issues:

- Only races with the Romulan UI get NSMs.  It is hard-coded into the game and THERE IS NO WORKAROUND FOR THIS.

[KBF-Dogmatix_XC]

I absolutely enjoy flying Romulan, so any excuse that comes along to do so is cool by me.

Sure there is, no one gets the Romulan interface.

That could work to, so what UIs?  Kliink and Lyran?

I would go with Lyran and Gorn that way both would have the pf's without having to use a donor race.

Um, Lyran and Gorn, could the map get any more confusing?   

Donor race is no big deal, I've done It before. 

[Firehawk]

True wasn't thinking of the colors   Many a time I strayed into LDR space by mistake on GW2.

I was just thinking that if you use either 2 pf races or now that I think about it 2 fighter races then you would only need 1 donor race instead of 2.  Just thinking about trying to keep things as simple as possible for those setting it up it.

[Corbomite]

Gorn and Fed would probably work best, but with no NSM count me out. They are just not Rommies w/o them. 


Another solution would be to give the Rom interface to one side and give the other side something in return for the loss of the NSM. More T-Bomb capacity or something like that.

That's the kind of Idea I'm trolling for.

[Hexx]

It would probably seem way to ott,and deosn't mesh for SFB purists but what about having one side get NSMs and the other get
say Dizzies replacing Plasma F torps?
Or give them a higher shuttle launch rate.

A little too "modded," but an extra Shuttle seems reasonable.
