My name's Chris; my handle's PreciousRoy.
I guess I should begin my saying that my favorite Trek ship design is the Akira class, which I am still in love with today, nearly 20 years since Jaeger designed it.
I'm still playing ST: Armada II. These days I've been playing a heavily edited, personal version of the Future Wars mod, and preparing to go a little bit further to get the AI to be more devilish and fun for me, and to continue to put the kind of ships and game balance I prefer in. My Federation side is almost completely modded, with more of the Pathfinder, First Contact, and Voyager series of ships in play (Defiant, Nova, Akira, Norway, Steamrunner, Prometheus, Luna, a really good-looking Aegian, and so on).
For 13 years, I've been dreaming of a Borg side that does not resource from anything other than enemy ships, building into three different pathways-- Quads and Cubes, Triangles, and Spheres-- with no bases and no research except stealing special weapons. I have yet to even come close to something that works, and never found anyone else that cared to work on it with me.
My next step in my mod of FW is to get Fighters taken care of for all races, which is what attracted me to MSFC in the first place-- I really like the Warfang class Klingon fighter model. I have been trying to add the Hades class (the one that looks a great deal like a Voyager-era Olympic class) with a special weapon that buffs Life Support (a mod of the Aegian's Shield Boost with a Blue wave instead of a green one), but have not yet managed to do that successfully. Once I have every non-Borg side with the right kind of fighter crafts, I will work on trying to add a 7th side-- I'd like to put an updated Species 8472 back into the game as the Undine, with new weapons and abilities. And then I'd like to do a lot more with planets; I'd like to make them terraform-ible, develop-able (defensive planets, spy planets, listening planets, etc), HUGE, and beautiful at a massive scale.
If I ever get the Borg to do what I want to, I will probably leave the current FW Borg in, slightly modded in appearance to be the Resistance (STV: Unimatrix Zero 1 & 2).
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas to share, they would be most welcome!
