Mirror Counterparts - Adapted CO Nemesis System?

OK, I should start this off by saying I like the Mirror Universe missions in STO. Those are among my favorite in the DS9 area. They could probably use a revamp, but I imagine that'll happen soon enough.
However, there's one aspect of the Mirror Universe I've wanted to see in STO for almost as long as I've thought of the concept: Actually meeting your Mirror Counterpart in-game.
Now, for the most part, the canon Mirror Counterparts are all basically the same people, just with a few details tweaked. What if there were multiple details tweaked, or one of the details tweaked was their gender?
For this reason, along with the fact that your Mirror will likely play an important role in at least the Mirror arc, I would like to suggest that if Mirrors of Player Characters are implemented, we use an adapted version of Champions Online's Nemesis System for the implementation.
Devs, how easy would something like that be to pull off? And everyone else, what are your thoughts?

I can sign that.
Though a nemesis system would be neat, just not some mirror shenanigans or some kind of iconian clones because...you know.... ICONIANS!...
The farther they went with the mirror stuff the less sense it made.
Hakeeve, B'Vat, mirror O'Brien, Cooper.
We just don't get a nemesis that lives. Though I would REALLY like to meet a mirror version of my main.

Lose the e on Hakeev.
but as for the nemesis system, you dont need a mirror counterpart of yourself, rather egotistical, would rather have a proper nemesis, in my head canon the USS Fearless first officer, Nirnas Nenman has a big time nemesis in a klingon general who has been hunting him for decades, almost caught him twice and locked him away once for a short time.
in a few skirmishes that klingon general has repeatedly tried to kill Nirnas, even once his lost brother at birth, Servius came into to rescue Nirnas. Now rescued and living under K'Mec's protection, even then Nirnas is still be hunted by that Klingon general and no treaty will change that, target fixation for certain and complete tunnel vision.

this could get messy. One of my alts already is the mirror counterpart of my main. What's in for him?

Wow Roleplayers really have a rich fantasy life.
Why'd you have to say that? Now I want to play as my mirror counterpart for an episode or two... :P Seriously though that'd be pretty cool, although simply meeting them would be interesting as well.
+1, let's support this idea guys.

Hey never said I could spell? And USS Fearless? Honor Harrington fan I presume.

We already know that they have the ability to replicate our characters, we saw it in the Delta Recruit mission when we were visited by our 'future self.' I'm sure they could do something similar to make a mirror universe counterpart.
I actually think it's a great idea, if you manage to rise all the way to Fleet Admiral in the prime reality, it stands to reason the person had similar potential in the Mirror Universe. The tough part would be if they duplicated my ship and build and I had to fight it. That would be tough.
They where too much over the top all the time. They where fun to watch once in a while, but more of them would be too much imo. There's a bit too much madness everywhere, it's almost like ESD chat, lol.
But i like the idea of a Nemesis system. If done right, i think it would be really cool.
you can make something out of that nemesis system, even bring your friends into how you got your nemesis, the back story. you clearly havent played CO long enough to know :P.
i cant spell either so i cant tell you how you spell :P however im sure hakeev doesnt come with an e, that is all on that end.
as for the fearless, because K'Mec is a klingon she names the ship after how fearless klingons are in battle and i certainly dont know whoever you are going on about.

A double goatee for your mirror guy's nemesis.
OTOH, the Nemesis system in CO needs a lot of work. And besides, I only want Nems in here if we can adapt the Bridge Officer system so my superhero can have a sidekick. Spider-Bat needs his Blackbird!
I would like to see an arena of sorts in which the opponent copies your ship, weapons and stats and gets a bonus depending on difficulty level.
It would also be interesting see go against your own build to see where the strength and weaknesses are located.

One problem with that. Assuming it could copy your build it couldn't copy your play style.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Not exactly, but that's actually easily solved.
Divide AI play styles into basic categories based upon your weapon and boff layout.
5+ beam arrays -> BFAW spam
DHC/turrets -> alpha stryker
etc.
So yes, very much yes for this idea OP.
(actually she called herself Empress Sato, but who cares. :P And one of the books has it that Empress Sato 3(a clone of the original) was the person Spock assassinated to become Emperor.
