As Raven kept on suggesting, I thought it was about time we/I listened to him. (Am I allowed to call it 'official' Raven?)

so, BRING 'EM ALL ON! (the Ent-D refit is already TAKEN btw - just so you know Wink

)

So this is just ships that are already done or ideas for ships?

It's for ideas (try reading the title)

A number of ideas for ships (completed or close to) that persons would like to see in BCII have been submitted.

Admiral Fareway · Guest

This thread is made to have them in one place

BookBomB · **BC2 Spam God** General Joined: 07 Oct 2003 Posts: 2349

Which refers back to my first question: completed ideas for ships people want in BCII, or just concept drawings?

mayhemuk · **Posted**: 11-28-2003 06:46 PM

Hey, it looks cool, but as stated in the thread it does look very Romulan, or Reman. A colored version might help it look a little better and more Fed like.

Or you could reverse the direction the bridge is and make it look Jem, or Kessok . . . are the kessok in here at all? That would be cool?

mayhemuk · **Posted**: 11-28-2003 06:56 PM

well i would like it to be fed, i do have a colour version, but i may have trouble getting it on line, i will try my best asap.

BookBomB · **BC2 Spam God** General Joined: 07 Oct 2003 Posts: 2349

Alright. The color scheme (if traditional fed or Third Fleet) should make us sure what race it is :-).

tooie32 · **Posted**: 11-29-2003 02:19 AM

hmm how about some TNG ships that are viewed on the episodes

BookBomB · **BC2 Spam God** General Joined: 07 Oct 2003 Posts: 2349

You'd run into the copyright stuff . . .

tooie32 · **Posted**: 11-29-2003 04:03 AM

oh the ships in the episodes a copywrighted

BookBomB · **BC2 Spam God** General Joined: 07 Oct 2003 Posts: 2349

Yeah, as well as most/all of the ships in game. That is why we have had such trouble and effort in making new vessels.

mayhemuk · **Posted**: 11-30-2003 04:54 PM

ok guys colour pic of my ship, sorry only top view, couldnt find the bottom view any where, but it should be enough, i hope for you lot to get the federation idea.

ROJ Devil Wolf · **Posted**: 11-30-2003 04:58 PM

ohhh, i love it i want it SOME ONE MAKE IT PLEASE

BookBomB · **BC2 Spam God** General Joined: 07 Oct 2003 Posts: 2349

No offense inteaded, but with that kinda color scheeme and hull plating it almost looks Reman or something. My sugjestion is give it either the traditional Fed color scheme, or the Third Fleet Color Scheme.

mayhemuk · **Posted**: 12-03-2003 10:24 PM

ok well reman hull plating is black, and this ship is grey, and i they dont make a federation grey pencil, so i just used what i had, which is grey, and all this talk about the third fleet ships, can i have a link to see them, i never have.

Behold the Cygnus Prime:

BookBomB · **BC2 Spam God** General Joined: 07 Oct 2003 Posts: 2349

Nice looking . . .

Can we have some stats? Like, what class is it? weapons, shield streangths, power systems, warp speeds etc?

Check out this thread from the Bridge Commander Rants & Raves forum (on GamingForums.com) re: ship ideas, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY a lot of good feedback on what gamers liked and disliked (ok, mostly disliked) about BC1.

There are 71 posts, so I'll not try to enumerate the ideas here, but the word "autonomy" sums up many of them. Seemed like you were more of a trained monkey who had to give the right orders in the right sequence and then you got your banana. rather than a captain in command. It was cool to sit in the big chair, but after that it was just tedious. It's a great concept which needs much more flexibility and meaningful interaction with crew in the game.

Here's a very good review (my opinion, of course) that covered most all the bases re: the game play itself:

You can find links to others at http://www.bcfiles.com/reviews.php.

One other thing - I hated first officer Saffi and Admiral Liu. Less condescending characters (or versions of these two) would be awesome. Smile

What exactly does this have to do with ships?

cafinch · **Posted**: 12-08-2003 02:10 AM

Let me repeat myself to clarify:

Follow the link in the original post and you'll find discussion of ship ideas and more.

Glempius · **Posted**: 12-08-2003 02:59 PM

Right on the subject of the Cygnus Prime:

It's currently 25 miles long (big eh?) but it is basically a one man/ferengi army. has several hundered torpedo and pulse phaser turrets, carries at least 3 enterprise-d sized ships, and the front wing is a very large phaser emitter, travels at relativly low warp, (no higher than 5) I'd like it to cloak, but that's a bit OTT.

I know it's completly un-cannon, and very special, it is my ship, the pinicle of my creation.

Allow me to repeat myself . . . never mind, I was wrong, sorta.

Unless you want to go through and sugjest all of those ships and get those people to tell us what they were thinking . . . I don't see how anything like that would work. Most of BCII is already decided. Could you please clarify what you meant? I might have misunderstood you, what it looks like there are just general ideas about races and scenes, etc.

Glemp Sounds cool, we were trying to have the Infinity dwarf the sovie . . . but this dwarfes the infinity!!!

cafinch · **Posted**: 12-09-2003 04:19 AM

Hmm...

Maybe I've confused myself and referenced the wrong thread. If so, my bad. I'll double-check the thread and report back. At any rate, I do hope the BC2 developers are aware of the concerns many (including myself) had re: the game play, AI (read: lack thereof) and other stuff.

Peace.

It could be some sort of Ferengi ace in the hole so to speak.

The infinity is getting trashed by a bunch of little breen ships, then the CYGNUS PRIME!!!!!!!!!! *Over joyed aplause here please* shows up and saves the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glemp, how many of these do the FERA have?
