How about have events like "the Shuttle Event" except its like Vulcan ships vs whomever

(or catian, or jem hadar or ferengi ect, vs others)

might be hard to fill a que but they could also amp up like ship[ sales or somethng

and ypou can like zen a catian fighter if you don;t have enough or care to have a carrier

same with like the others

You said it yourself, it would be hard to fill a queue simply because it's being *TOO* specialized. It'd be something exclusive to those who spent the Zen to buy those ships in the first place.

mayeb not so

ypou fig anyone that has a ship as such would be kinda fond of the game or somethng

at any rate - if you have a regular ship then you still join vs whatever

the idea of like 10 ferangi mURdewrs,or cardassians etc.
in a mass coming into battle would look cool

and freighters

you could have like "Freighter Event" like the one they kinda already have
except all the build masters can actually show their worth

and make like a freighter that has like a gas, a turret, whatever

and like try to get to like a portal

and everyone one else , especillay new polayers, can try to blow them up

so its like a bomber formation from ww2 or somethng

and considering roddenbury was a navigator guy, - kinda relevant at the core

"Freighter Run "

Fleets, the larger ones, would be another avenue

fleet heads could say - "anyone that has a tholian web thng- there is a tholian vs others at 6 pst" or somethng

and then if one group keeps on winning they can overthrow the head of the fleet (lol)

there are lots of dynamics - demotions for one- that could be tapped
