well i pretty much have a good idea of what I'm going to be running after this one
A Klingon, Rom vs the Federation campaign. Set a little ways into the Mid era.. ie the ships are mostly going to be the early era ships with refits... ie a fed DD+ , Klingon D7B etc
New things,
Ability to upgrade/refit actual ships... ie you have a DD you can put it into space dock and refit it to a DD+ (there will be limitations on how many can be changed to non "standard" upgrades... example a fed DDL refit)
Time will progress.
At some point (determined before the campaign starts and announced) it will shift to Late era.
Romulans:
One thing the romulans tend to lack in our games is their extremely well executed use of stealth especially with their older ships. they will have some advantages not normally seen within our campaigns. And they will have proportionally more ships BUT... like everyone else they'll have "historical" fleets.. which means to start the VAST majority of their ships will be Eagle class ships not the newer Hawk classes (ie War eagles, few warbirds, snipes ect)
Building limitations:
There will be a limit on numbers of ships of each type can be built... ie no building 34 uberbattletugs of death.
There will be a few expeditionary fleets from allied nations (gorn mirak for fed, Lyran for Klingon)
I also believe that it's time to go to a 6 ship stack limit... a Campaign like this needs the numbers of ships to function correctly and that is about the only way I can see how to do it. That also allows the ability for us to use starbases. (I'm toying about the idea of 6 ships stacks and 9 for starbase hexes? )
Can someone get me a Good quality picture of an F&E map? I'm planning on basically using it as a template.
any thoughts just spit em out below
