I apologise if this has already been done, it is an idea. Would it be possible for there to be a first time build ability. What i mean is that the first time you build an Everest Class youi get an ability called Cole, with boosts attack for example. This way it could add more meaing to building capitol ships. Some examples:

 

Pheonix Class refit : Cutter (boosts defense)

Everest Class: Cole (boosts fleet stats)

Halycon class refit: Keyes (boosts individual ship performance agaisnt Covenant)

This isn't actually a bad idea

First of why? (Cap ships already have plenty of meaning.)
Secondly how? (hard-coding etc.)

Thirdly who? (There isn't a hero that operates each ship.)

1. Cuse it sounds cool

2. And really it's just abilities

3. Who said there has to be a hero on board, maybe it's modifications they've made based on what those Iconic characters have done, with those ships

1. Not particularly

2. He said first time build,  you can't make a one time event like that (probably). Also there are abilities like this.
3. His entire premises is the first time you build a ship they have a hero on board. And the abilities of most ships are based on what iconic people did with the ship.

Nice idea but I don't think it'd work practically. Even if it's possible, capital ships live nowhere near long enough to merit make such a bonus worthwhile.

That said, it's this kind of thinking that makes the mod so great. Keep it up, mate!

They already have buffing abilities just saying but not as heroes.

The newer Star Trek has done this, so I imagine that is where the idea came from. It's not something we're interested in doing.

Hero units have been around way before Armada 3.

The mods called E4X and SoGE come to mind. All use a spawn in system whether it be Admiral Kol to a SSD.

 

On a random sidenote. E4X is a gem of a mod. It may be Vanilla universe but the features GoaFan77 puts in make it really worthwhile.

Good idea, but the death rates in this are super high. Wed almost have to make a hero class of each ship and limit it to one like a Titan. At this time its not something we are looking to pursue but that was one of the better ideas we've heard. Better than Novas and plot device assault carriers.
