Okay, it is time to resume an old argument... an oldy but a goody...
Who would win, the Federation that considers a dunebuggy a major weapons system...
OR
Well 1 picture... [:'(]
Data, if you use an ATTE, you might just get that ale and not sand in your face... [:D]
For the new folks on the forum... this is a friendly old game...
AND it is one that I usually loose... but end up laughing myself silly at someone's joke.
C'mon TJ....Doesn't the Empires
most feared Imperial Walker come tumbling down with only a cable wrapped around it's legs?
FEAR THE ARMED FEDERATION BUGGY! [:D]

Heh, who need walkers anyway? Just blast it from orbit with the Death Star, easiest way to be sure. [;)]

NAVAL academy, not space academy. After the tank factory this definetly proves an improved planet area battle.
Either you now need troops depending on the type of planet to invade (navy for ocean planets) or we get war zones on a planet.

The graphic shows space ships and not boats in a harbour.In sci fi terminology naval usually means your space fleet,hence frigate,destroyer,tec.

A pair of wonders which give empire wide bonuses to ground and space combat. [8D]

Is it a different artist? It looks a very basic when compared to the previous expansions art.

Apart from the stuff overhead, it looks like a mediocre regional capital kind of building
Enhanced ground combat (with flying elements) is the most logical conclusion indeed. As for troops, I have always thought of them as very abstracted force units. It is not like a civilization jumping between stars would drop 20000 guys with assault rifles to reenact the Vietnam War (even they had a bit more)...

Agreed.I did not see the "troop" as an infantry brigade but a whole combined army.I have issues with independent unit types at this scale.A wargame style structure should be used.

Has anyone considered that perhaps the naval academy is to increase experience for your individual ships???
I know that Troops increase in strength the more their use eg. experience, perhaps they've added in the same for ships now.

Just came back here to check on this forum about the september announcement. Heck I visited matrix time and time again for the said announcement to the point that I got hooked into 3 of your wargames and frequent their forums.
So.......
other than the images, there are no official "hey we are going to release this and that on this date and it would cost that much" ?

I have only one thing to say to this:
Red Shirt
How many of them have died and it was not even wartime.
They make Imperial Stormtroopers look like brain trusts...

I cannt believe someone actually did this as a powerpoint presentation...
Someone did this as a slide at a Star Trek Convention
I found it looking up 'evidence' for my
Red Shirt Claim.
I could not download the slide, but the same blog said your probability of survival as a
red shirt goes up considerably if Captain Kirk finds female companionship planetside...
I am not sure what that meant, but hey... [:'(][:D]
