Why inst the Remun Scimitar, 8472, The Prometheus, The NX-01, The Edsilprise, Q, etc. etc. in the mod. Let me put it in terms the younger generation can understand... They are cheesy, and GAY... (major sarcasim intended).
Seriously, The Scimitar as stated above was unique, and way too OP for the mod. Even for the Borg because if its ridiculous fire while cloaked. Yet another Killer B trademark. Along with damn near every trek episode having to do with time travel, and solving every problem with technabble instead of their brains. Besides that is one UGLY ship. Mix between a BAT and Jemmy Devastator. (hurls). The scorpion fighters are just as ridiculous as the Scimitar.
Prometheus same thing too OP, though know i did actually consider adding the ship at one point to fight the borg.
8472 self explanatory... As with uberships. We do not add Uber races. I still think the killer B's made 8472 just so they could make the Borg look like a bunch of retarded jack in the box's. They already screwed them up by adding the queen. Hell if we included 8472 we might as well add Q as well.
While we are including ships from Enterprise, They are only the alien ships, and they are not in the original roles that you saw in the show. The V-1 Starglider (aka 22nd century romulan warbird), Colony ship. The D-4 Predator (aka 22nd century John Eaves concept klink battlecruiser), Scout, and the Klingon Raptor which we are demoting to an honorless civilian trade ship. Before someone asks NO we are not using the 22nd century bird of prey. I picked those ships because i like the designs, and they can fit in the late 24th century. One thing we will NOT do is add 22nd century Federation (earth) ships. The feds have plenty of 23rd century+ era ships.
Each ship was carefully hand picked for the role it was given. That which fit the best without looking totally absurd. Some ships were reluctantly left out, because there literally is no room for them. Especially for the Federation. If we screw around, and add extra ship slots then we screw up the AI even worse than what it already is. Some will say "So what? I only play MP anyway". That is not how we want it to be, because there are those that do not play MP... Like me.
The mod ship lineups are set in stone. The ships we picked are there for a reason, and not just for looks.
