Ed Kolis:

Unfortunately there are lots of little problems with using a system like that, including warp point limits, simultaneous turn problems, AIs wouldn't be able to use the system as intended. I had considered a system like this before, but it just wouldn't work like you would you hope !

AIs are very good at opening warp points in Not Connect games.

If your interested in seeing the new Ferengi, just click HERE and away you will go.

I don't know if Kwok is going to use them or not for the Star Trek mod.

Feed back on the set is welcome, but for the most part, they is finished!

Nice set!

The font on that page for the names of each vehicle size is black, and so unreadable without highlighting.

Hey Atrocities, great set man! But.... I just don't understand peoples facination with Ferengi. Ya, they are neat to include in SE4, but I think they should not be considered more then a Neutral race. Ya, they are an empire, but I think only an Economic Empire, not a Military Empire. They could have fantastic Money capabilites but limited as a Neutral race. Just my opinion.

If you check out maps of the Star Trek universe, the Ferengi do get a little big chunk of space and it gives the players the option of playing something other than war monger.

Ferengi warships are not to be overestimated.

The set looks great. One thing i noticed was that you made transport ships. I always thought that all ferengi ships serve as armed freighters. I dunno, but maybe we could set it up so that they don't get normal freighters but all their ships have to have a cargo component. And since they are so obsessed with trade maybe give them a special cargo component that is a little better than the normal one (smaller, holds more or both) just a thought, but lets see what everyone else thinks.
