The only game I've seen wherein an "evil" faction was well-received is Star Wars: The Old Republic, and the Sith Empire is rather more nuanced than the reflexive puppy-punting we see from, say, the Terran Empire. I do admit to wishing they could have done the Romulan Star Empire, but that's partly irritation at how the…

Executor would be Borg Unimatrix level at absolute minimum; that thing is nineteen kilometers of death.
-
Sure am; I honestly didn't expect anyone to get the reference. Freaked me out at the time, but considering it was either late 1994 or early 1995, when I was about twelve, that's hardly unexpected.
-
There's a ship from a really old TNG game I'd like to see. Second mission in said game, the player rescues a ship belonging to the "Eunacians." Their cruiser looked pretty nifty.
-
Agreed. Frankly, the restriction comes across as arbitrary.
-
One of their more ill-advised changes, no question. I've now got an Epic MkXV omni that I can no longer equip for no good reason.
-
It's not that difficult to compensate.
-
I've never had any problem with the D'Deridex. As far as minelaying goes, I only have one ship with a mine launcher at all, and that primarily for the set bonus. (Nukara rep mine launcher, for what it's worth.)
-
Still say the Ytijara beats it. Maybe it makes for a good minelayer in theory (I don't see it but whatever), but i practice, well, note they haven't done that particular arrangement since.
-
Interesting point. Would certainly feel more Trek than what we got.
-
I would call it "generic," personally.
-
The change is since this morning. Completely unnecessary change I might add; classic case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
-
Thanks, I'll pass; the Hirogen habit of spamming subnuc is extremely annoying.
-
Regarding the turn rate issues on certain ships, I've never flown a Sarcophagus, but I have extensive experience with the D'Deridex, and compensating for the slow turns is almost trivially easy. Pilot spec tree (even secondary will suffice), RCS Accelerator (preferable Conductive), and things will go reasonably smoothly.…
-
Ytijara-class dreadnought, without question. I cannot fathom how anyone could possibly have thought the 3/5 weapon arrangement was a good idea.
-
I've never had any issue with Tovan, personally. As for the Kobali arc, I agree with ditching it, but not for reasons of length. I just resent having to help those necromantic freaks.
-
Seriously!? As things stand it's one of the shortest arcs.
-
Perhaps I'm misremembering; it's been some time since I did anything with the Romulans. Either way, very drab, with IMO boring designs.
-
The bit with Miral Paris is from the mutilated Klingon War arc.
-
At the very least I'd like to see some new options for Romulan boffs. Current outfit selection for Romulans is, for lack of a better term, lame. Standard Republic uniform just screams "Brown!" which is something that should really be said quietly.
-
Not an auto-pass, exactly, but destroying Tzenkethi ships in the Gon'cra battlezone can be more of a pain than it has any right to be thanks to the asinine "going critical" mechanic.
-
That one isn't happening; they've specifically said the Foundry is not coming back.
-
Before my time, but isn't that the one where you're basically forced to be an idiot?
-
That must've been interesting considering Tholian environmental requirements.
-
Have to pass on that last one. I deeply hate such mechanics.
-
IMO the only way to truly fix the Delta Quadrant arc is to not force the player to help the bloody Kobali.
-
I got into the game in late 2017, Having said that, only thing that comes to mind is the missing Klingon War missions. As it stands, that arc is barely even coherent.
-
Fair point. I nonetheless think having a genuinely friendly Tholian is a nice touch.
-
I would also argue that the very existence of a genuinely friendly Tholian would be quite a shock to the system. Personally, I liked that particular twist; I've never found Always Chaotic Evil all that plausible absent some kind of hive mind like the Borg.
-
The mission "Temporal Ambassador" would seem to support this.
