That was my favorite shirt too. Fortunately my patterns are on record with the local 
resurrection ship.

Shout out to Zombie for that.

When I come back, you won't see me coming and I won't be alone.

I only play as Feds do bear with me..

The colony ship frigate is also the repair frigate.

The Colony frigate in Sins has a mind of it own and will not join fleets proper....

SO.

Any chance on giving fleet repair to the another ship and let the colony do something else?

The Excelsior class gets an upgrade that lets them heal, if I remember right they give a 5 hull per second repair and a 300% boost to shield regeneration. The Federation also get a second shield restorer in the Saber class.

 

 

This baby gives you a full restore.

Keep 4 or 5 Sabers (more if you need an even faster shield boost) away from the action.  When the fighting is done these guys will get your fleet back on the road way faster than the other races.  They become meat shields when they are mixed in with your fleet (as support ships draw fire)  but it's borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.

Was just looking over some of the new models for the next update. They look very nice.

Are the Feds supposed to be missing the anti-bombardment tech for the starbase?

It's not on the research tree and seems fairly critical when the other races have it.

No, he means the starbase upgrade that protects against planet bombardment.  Not that building Akiras isn't a perfectly viable response to most situations, including hostile bombardment frigates, but it just quite isn't what he was asking for.

the FEDs are OP in many other ways, there is a planet defence research that blasts ships in orbit from the planet, nice to zoom in the enemy bomber and watch it get blasted from the planet 

Remember that SOA2 is all about making each race a different play style, the mod was founded on that and will not change.

Mostly was asking if it was omitted on purpose since so far all the other races have it. Including the Borg which are about as OP as you can get.

Kind of the same thought as the Romulan version of it being accidently omitted.

Possible Bug:

Somehow I assimilated a federation ambassador class elite ship despite the tip on the ships saying frigates only.

Fleet: Level 6 Queen's Diamond, 5 planet assimilators, 2 coffins, 2 grav torp ships, 1 scout module and 1 planet colony ship.

psychoak's department, as soon as he returns from a planet that just encountered a major ice storm and wrecked the subspace transmitter, we'll get the description or the ability fixed.

Next patch.

I'm in much the same boat as it sounds like he's in. Been apartment bound for the most part for nearly a week now.

Figured I should mention the little glitches I may or may not have found (hard to tell since I don't know if they are on purpose)

so you guys can look to see if they need fixing.

We are always looking for beta testers if you like to try out the pre-release version and catch these bugs before we release them upon the public. Setup is fairly easy. PM me if you're interested.

The cutting beam ability on the elites is capable of taking over other elites, not just frigates.

Fist: I don't play often enough to really justify actual beta testing. Though if you don't mind that, I'd certainly install and play that instead and pass along any weirdness I find.

Cutting Beam: That's exponential fleet growth in terms of capital ships isn't it? One Borg cap enters a battle and emerges with the 3 capital ships it was fighting without paying for them (That Q. Diamond practically solo'd a 15 ship early fed fleet; the rest of the ships showed up near the end as mop up).

 

Also; the Romulan Plasma Torp lists a damage over time effect that is, as near as I can watch, not being applied to the target for more than a second or less.

The Intrepid class has an ability that you can use to knock out a Borg's abilities for a short while.  I like a 5 Intrepid per 1 Borg ratio in early game.  I think a 10 to 1 is appropriate in late game.  Whatever you do turn off autocast of the Intrepid's abilities cast them your self to make them as effective as possible.  Learn to use the pause key in Borg battles.  Also make sure to research as many shield, phaser and anti-matter regeneration levels as possible when you know you are facing the Borg.  They will quickly out everything you if you don't.  

 

The Borg are the most terrifying enemy you will ever face.  May you die with honor, qapla'.

I apologize if these have been answered before. 

1. Do the Romulans have any anti-borg capabilities? 

2. Why is it that every race (even the Borg) get the 25% speed boost from phase inhibitors (can't remember the name of the SOA structure) with the exception of the Dominion? Their ships are so slow......

Cloaking is a pretty effective Borg countermeasure.  The D'Verix' area disable also wipes out antimatter, which counters their capabilities significantly.

was just messing around with the Romulans and Klingons and noted a few strange things: both the Klingon and Romulan Colonizer Elite ship is able to use their fourth ability at level one. I don't know if this is intentional or not but I thought I should bring it up.

 

Also the Romulan C Elite ship's cloak is wrong; the model is the D'deridex

wtf? crap    I was sure I tested all those.

good catch on the cloak

The ability slots are not ordered that well, I usually reorder them when I edit, but those didn't need an edit from me for a long time
