tom could you please add back the ability for stations to replicate torpedos? It aint fair while we are busting the borg that we run out of power. Granted I know stations have a load of stuff already, but could it be like that if a station drops to its last 100 torps of either class that it will make more? The borg are going to be really hard now man. On the other hand you have sertainly beefed everything else up to handle this stuff. My only other question, is how we will be able to avoid or destroy the mines. At 12:03 AM 8/15/2006, you wrote:
