Alien Starship Creation Etc?

Just like we can create our own aliens. And make them look like whatever we want. And make foundry missions.

Wouldnt it be cool if we could design our own alein starships?

All you would need is a template like the Federation ships to start it off. Make bizare looking alien starships.

And as far as copyright goes there is none. You don't need it for aliens. Why would you need it for starships?

Perhaps a reputation system where you unlock different aspects of the ships. And based on certain factors kind of like rolling the dice. Would determin what the atributes of your ships would be. You could select Cruiser Science or Tactical. But the rest would be left to random chance. There would be a minimum of so many slots and weapons ports. Imagine a ship with five rear and three forward weapon slots. There would be a maximum number of science tac and engineering slots. So you could not have say five tactical or six engineering slots. And the duty officer stations could be random as well.

Along with the hull shields etc. You would have to take what comes. You would get a completely unique and random ship set up. And you could get set bounses with +5 power and shields just like regular starships.
Also alien tactical science and engineering modules as well. Roll the dice to see what you get. These would only be blue and again a limited max number of stats. Same thing with shields engines and deflector. You could devise a whole new crafting system for this part alone.

Of course all of this would be designed so you could not be overpowered in any way!


And you could choose your own faction. Along with making your own foundry mission story for your alien.

The limitless possiblities!

OOOOOOHHHHH MMMMMMYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

What does everyone think?

    While I can learn to love and accept the ship designs provided for in STO from the devs, I would really rather NOT have to see, face, or bother looking at just any design dreamed up by every single player in STO.

    Thank you, but no.

    Totally with you, zztopper.
    The Federation and KDF (and soon RR) have encountered hundreds of other warp capable species. yet their variety of ships is extremely lacking.

    I do think we need to have the option to 8uild our own ships from templates, 8ut there needs to 8e some sort of templates and 8ases that are canon so that everyone who is canon crazy won't flip their ta8les too far. 8ut i do like the idea.

    How about a basic view selection for every alien starship. So you would not have to look at them!

    Just like when you can turn off visuals for borgs stuff!
