"8472 Mother Dreadnaught is essentially the 8472 mother minus embryo creation but with much stronger shields (equal to tactical fusion cube) and a large array of bio-beam weapons. it is also warp capable and has the impulse speed of a scout and has the scout's Tachyon detection grid."

a bit too strong for my taste. with high building cost and a much lower speed than a scout is should be more balanced...


but we need more 8472 ships :-)

I have just submitted an updated version. It will probably be availiable in a day or two. It is much more balanced resource wise and building time wise and has embryo building added.

I am keeping the speed the same. That is one of the main advantages I meant for this ship to have.

Hello:

I was taking a look to your Mother-dreadnought. I'm very impressed by its firepower because 8472Motherships are in a huge disadvantage compared to the other bases.

I'm preparing a big 8472 mod, maybe we can share ideas.

I look forward for your updated ship and future releases, there are only a few people modding 8472 :-)

clhlietrek , there are some good ships for 8472 around,and i was able to add them to my personal mod, but stations and such are all stock. the problem is that 8472 looses every chance in a game if only the other well-modded races are upgrated. if someone would onlay nail the availible ships and some new stations together and call that a mod, he would be a pioneer on this site - as far as i know, no one has ever done it . hey, maybe even a tmp-version ;-) ?

Hello:

I am preparing a mod named "Warriors from Fluidic Space", but i don't have the info ready to send it to Ash, and I need a banner (the big one). So I'll fix that during this weekend and I'll release the info. My mod has new ships and a couple of new stations with very special functions.

I'll send the info as soon as possible amoebia and community in general.
