I'll be gone all of next week starting tomorrow so don't expect any replies to emails or anything like that. I'll be uploading the latest version of the Plug to the normal spot. It contains a partly finished mission 1. I'll still be around today though.

Ok while I'm gone next week I'll need one or both of you to look up the weapons and strengths of the Jem Hadar ships... I can't seem to remember even the color of their weapons...

Well, I don't know if you can "look up" the weapon strengths of any ships.

The Jem'Hadar weapons are kinda funny; I'm having this problem with my EVO plug-in. In earlier episodes they use white pulse cannons; in later episodes they have blue beams (both are polaron weapons). I think they're fairly powerful, but probably not much more (if at all more) than Starfleet phasers. It's hard to tell because in DS9 battle scenes shields were usually neglected for all ships except the Defiant (no shield bubbles, ships blowing up in a couple hits, etc.).

BTW, I noticed in what you guys have in the plug already, you have a Romulan Bird-of-Prey...so what kind of plot is this thing going to have so that you'll have both the Romulan BOP and Jem'Hadar ships? (You might want to take a look at the ship lineage/timeline thingy section in the Daystrom Institute Technical Library, a great ST website -- (url="http://"http://www.ditl.org)")http://www.ditl.org)(/url)

Ah well. I wish Hera worked on 68k.

Well after looking up the "stats" of the various ships on that web site Jager asked me to make out ships match. I've almost finished the Federation Starships... It didn't take as long as I thought...

A word of caution -- just because that site is great doesn't mean you should reference it for everything. I particularly disagree with the conclusions it has on the Klingon Birds-of-Prey.

Also, I'm not sure you want to include all the ships on a very large scale. Some ships are ones we see rarely, so those are probably ones that might appear from time to time, but would never be allowed to be built. For example, you can easily build Excelsior-class ships, but New Orleans-class ships would be rather rare.

I'm thinking a behind-the-lines thing with plenty of special ops in the Gamma Quadrant for the Dominion war -- for the first several missions (after you go through some training I suppose).

After that, maybe some all-out confrontations, some stumblings-upons with the Romulan Tal-Shiar and Obsidian Order (Cardassian), and more with that...

Then eventually, after the Dominion War is over, with some pepperings of confrontations with other races, perhaps a Borg invasion where they actually take over planets instead of bee-line for Earth -- that is, if they've assimilated enough knowledge to not be so stupid.

Just my mission ideas. If anyone wants more specific ideas, I could draw out some maps and list out ships...

Yes a non stupid Borg invasion would be welcome to the star trek universe... If one Cube can't do it the first time send 2 the next...

It'd be nice if I could get in on a real discussion, but on this topic...(and thanks, brookeview for the e-mail), I figure the Borg would probably assimilate somebody or something that would give them the "intelligence" to do a more conventional invasion of the Federation, which would indeed be quite disasterous.

And if the player character is from this race and was good enough to hold off the Cardassians with what little resources were available, I figure it would be quite reasonable to ask the player to help lead this defense/counterattack.

However, I don't think it could be done without Klingon and probably Romulan help. Any ideas on whether the Borg have adapted to disruptors yet or not?

Oh, and about websites, I have a big folder stuffed with bookmarks and stuffed, and I've gone through a good many of them already, as well as studied some video clips out of episodes and movies; I should have a pretty good idea on matchups and such. I just wish I could participate in actual development, but since my Mac broke and Hera doesn't work in Basilisk...

Last thing, before I bore you to death with this post -- every time I join a project I always warn people against the dangers of letting the project become vaporware. I've seen it countless times and I'm quite aware of the warning signs. I'm not saying anything as it seems like you guys are making good progress and all, but announcing that you're looking for beta testers this early is, well, one of these warning signs. Just thought I'd let you know.

Well, anything I can do to help, just ask. The only problem, and it's a big one, is that I can't use Hera. :mad:

We asked for beta testers before we encountered a few problems... And if nothing else we will release the developers plu so people can make there own startrek plugins...

Let see a couple of things to do in this post...

First off to Jager mostly... We will be able to release the developer plugin soon... I 've redone things so they are a lot simpler and added comments to a lot of things so people can work with it easier. So I expect we could release that in tomorrow at the earliest and monday at the latest

And now to Firebird... The person you are playing being asked to help lead a defense against the Borg is a good idea that I hadn't really thought of. As for things you can do to help... Lets see... We still need a name for our alien race and neither me or Jager could think of one... but other than that... you wouldn't happen to have a sprite for a Federation fighter...
