WANT TO SEE: Things to do with my old ships

We worked hard to work through the ranks and earn/buy our ships. It is depressing to see all those impressive ships of mine sitting in the docks, not doing anything.

How about missions that you can only take on with a certain level or class ship?

How about whole fleets? For instance, I can arm all my old ships and can bring them all into battle with me? I mean I am an admiral, I should control a fleet, as an admiral does just that. I could envision having all my different level ships with me, and being able to put them into a formation and attack something. Even a mission where there is potential to have your ship nearly destroyed, so that you have to beam to another ship in your fleet. .....then you finish the mission, and then have to go back to that section of space and later retrieve your derelict ship.

(I am not even sure if I am posting this in the right spot...or if anyone of any power/influence will see this and take to heart.)

Thanks though for reading...

    I think I have heard the second idea discussed as something that they are thinking about. But it would be a higher level thing then we currently have at Vice Admiral.

    I'd love to give one to my first officer. ^_^ I mean promote her to captain of one.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for being able to use old ships in some form of AI fleet/task group as well.

    As an aside, it'd be fun if they reworked the 'fleet support' ability so that one of your other ships captained by a promoted officer warps in to help out instead of some no name random ship.

    I agree, it would be nice to see something become of our old ships. Like HerbieZ, when we can promote boffs to captains, I think it'd be cool if we could put them in command of one of our old ships.

    I also think that it would be awesome to have the Fleet Support power summon one of our old ships and not always just some random passerby ship, like capn_pickles said.

    In a way, Mission Replay (Season 3) will give people an opportunity to reuse older ships.

    Currently, the Missions you replay, are still at their original level. So, you could go back and redo those missions with older ships, which means the power penalty is not as significant, due to the weakness of the NPCs.

    Of course, once the level scaling is enacted, then that idea won't work so well anymore.
