Allow the building of FLEETS!!

[DarkAnubis]

Wow, people train 1.5 million troops into attack Now that scares me... But then Favre you gota see the point, it makes stronger people "weaker" and kinda balances more But what do i know ehh??

[[TA] Ryan Uy]

i think its a great idea to have additional fleet but i thought that this game follows the events of the tv series to a certain extent...i think...correct me if im wrong

but in general this is a nice idea and would make the game more complex to a certain degree but fun as well

[Wolf359]

sounds like OMG SEARCH BUTTON

Couldn't agree more! Please use the search function before making a suggestion as the idea of fleets has been made many times before!

However - I do not believe we have it listed in the Common Suggestions thread - so I will put it there and link this as the official thread.

I do agree though that it would make the powerful and rich even more powerful.

I don't see how it would make the rich richer. It will be an additional drain on their income. As for making them more powerful, it will establish a barrier on attacking power. I support this idea simply because of the fact that it more accurately reflects what goes on in the tv series. Besides the fact that it is completely ludicrous to assume that you can attack an enemy with a strikeforce of thousands and return through a gate a few meters wide all in the space of 30 minutes.

[DarkAnubis]

Lol, this isnt a MS carrying fleets, When do you see 20 Ha'taks in Anubis super mothership? Im talking about owning a freaken fleet, not the stupid gliders. Get that through your skulls. This isnt a MS idea, its a fleet idea. Mainly for one thing. Owning a fleet, making the game more realistic. Goa'uld gets the idea, you cant send 50k troops through a stargate at a time. How many times do you see the "Goa'uld on the show" send more than 10 jaffa through a gate? The "fleet idea" Is based on the Goa'ulds fleet. They have like 40 Motherships/Ha'taks. Thats the main transportation for them. As for the asgard, they have ships, but they dont do groud assault. They rule through "air" superiority. SG-1 Do you see them sending more than 10 people aswell? No you dont, you see them with a small team to attack. Now i know this is suppose to show us fighting with large armys. But if its based on Stargate, at least base it on it correctly.

I did not say it would make the rich richer, I said:

it would make the powerful and rich even more powerful.

I hate being misquoted!

However - more power MS would generally mean more atatcking power - which would generally mean you can atatck more defensively powerful people - which in turn means increased income (in general) .

The game has long departed to reflect what happens in the TV series - so I would not get hung up on that; and, whoever said that attacks happen via gates? In fact - there is nothing within the game to say that gates even exist - hence the fact that there have been many topics in the past to formally introduce them:

for example: http://herebegames.com/StarGateWars/vie ... php?t=2590

[DarkAnubis]

Okay, your looking at one fact, X-302's cant fit through a gate. Well think of it this way do X-302's have hyperdrive?????????????????????????????? No they dont, and im not talking about a MS. Im talking about owning "multiple" "Ships" as i have stated countless times before. And if you want to relate this to weapons... What about the Goa'uld "targeted gate weapons"?? I belive that means that we are using the gate to travel. Otherwise what point is it, for a goa'uld to shoot at a gate. If noone uses it....

And about it being suggested countless times before. They didnt suggest it the way i did... So dont say that, if you know waht im talking about.

NOTE: THIS ISNT ABOUT THE CURRENT MOTHERSHIP ITS ABOUT OWNING MORE SHIPS. Not adding onto the current mothership!!

[KDY]

If what you say is true bad wolf, we aren't ferrying troops with motherships, and we're not attacking through stargates. This leaves only one possibility, my forces are making use of jaffa magicians to dissappear and spontaneously reappear in someones else's realm. Pure genius if you ask me. In which case this game isn't stargatewars, its just wars.

[DarkAnubis]

Yea, your right. To make it stargate, we need to add ships So i can mass thoughs and destroy anyone who comes into my domain hehehehe

I got a cool idea for ships to!! You can only repaire them when there landed, when there in space they can fight and defend. But you cant land them and repaire them then luanch them. If you land you land for a day, and if a enemy destroys all the ships in your space, then he can destroy the landed ones easy.

[KDY]

That's a good idea. The regular ships could be similar to the MS except that there would be a limit to how heavily shielded and armed they could be. The idea of fleets could allow for several new research options on the technology page. You could upgrade the reactors of your ships to gain additional hardpoints for installing shields and energy weapons.

For example:

lvl.1 naquadah reactor 1000 shield capacity 1000 energy weapon
lvl.2 adv. naquadah reactor 1500 shield capacity 1500 energy weapon
and so on...

I've thought for a while that technology should become more of a factor in SGW. Right now all of the technology is so cheap that there isn't any distinction between different realms technology levels. I think it would be cool to be able to further customize your realm by having additional tech options to choose from. Fleet upgrades are just one example.

[KDY]

This thread must not die!

[DarkAnubis]

I dont think it will hehe. Just trying to see what other people say about the topic really!!

Everyone is right about how it would apply to more tech!! Stargate is about who has the better tech. With out the Ancients then there would be no stargates. Which alot of races depend souly upon EX: Goa'uld, Tauri.

Okay, your looking at one fact, X-302's cant fit through a gate. Well think of it this way do X-302's have hyperdrive?????????????????????????????? No they dont

Yes they do! It just rarely works properly

It's a good idea but wouldn't this basically be another weapon (a complicated one atleast) or planet? I mean if it only for "transporting troops" and giving additional attack and nothing else, it not really contributing something unique to the game. I mean that's why there planets.

[Lord Smaug]

[sarcasm]yeah lets make massing even easy, why pressing attck button so many times, why just not obeliderate an account with one press [/sarcasm]

[DarkAnubis]

when was the last time you saw a planet being used as a weapon? How would it make massing easier? Its not all at the press of a button... It wont change how you attack... Just make the game more realistic...
