I had an idea. It would be really cool if there were a few , maybe 1 or per per faction, flag ships. These ships would be unique, specificly, 1 instance of these ships could exist ata time, and GA or highr would be required to fly them.
For instance, the UGTO could have a super cool Unique EAD. Perhaps give it a few more beams, an extra generator slot and more armor.
ICC could have a super cool Unique Assault Cruiser.
Kluth could have a Unique Claw.
Of course these suggestions are based on my own personal perception of each factions "signiture" vessel.
Once the ship were destroyed, perhaps a GA would be required to comission the construction of a new one, which would take time and money. But only one could exist in each faction at a time. To make it even better, the GA comissioning the ship could name it!!!
Just an idea.......

Oh, yeah, there should be like a x5 or x10 pres loss for getting the flagship destroyed while commanding it!!! This gives balance. Also, if the owning player does not fly it for a certain amount of time, perhaps another GA could automaticly take command of the flag ship, or perhaps it could be stored somewhere other than a garage and the first GA logging on could use it if they wished, etc.... all kinds of possiblities for how to govern it's use.

We don't need more power ships for the UGTO we need less powerful ships for them.

We have FlagShips. They are the Command Class Stations and Dreadnaughts.
Also moving thread to beta suggestions.

I meant like a unique "hero ship" or whatever terminology you may like to place on it. A one of a kind ship, just 1, for each faction. Not a new variety of ship really, perhaps some prototype model that becomes a legendary ship. There could only exist one in each faction at any time, thus you wouldnt have 4 of these hot rodded babies in a fight. Just would be cool, you know, one more thing to see coming and plot your ejump.

You mean like the Imperial "Titan" Class Dreadnaught which is used by the UGTO Grand Chancellor, that kind of thing. I am actually in favour of such unique ships, but they should be limited to Admin or AI/event control and not be playable.

I think Grand admirals should get a flag ship that allows them to dock with another persons ship and get a tactical overlay map (f2) and allow them to set up nav points, waypoints, give fleet orders, etc.
yeah. like thats ever going to happen.

I wOuld LOVE to see the Titain class flagship in the game, bigger than the stations yet smaller of the smale size as a small moon or planet. People can dock with it add there pd and weapons fire to the ONE forward dirrection that they are facing. But maybe not . Well i like the ideal of a main flagship for each faction

Stations should be bigger than titans...
Since they are STATIONS...

@ Draf, your right, we do have stations and command class dread. Maybe these ships should be looked at in a new light. Take for instance the Enterprise NCC 1701-D, its saucer section was able to seperate from its drive section.
now if you look at the ICC Stations, one could see how such a thing would be possible. The top part of the station looks like it could be a ship.
I think this would make more sense

Hmmm freed from the bulk of all that station equipment makes for a formidible opoenant.
