Hi,
I like this wildcard idea, i can see punching in something and letting
the computer come up with not only the class of your ship, but a random
mission so you don't get to kind of pick tactics for the mission with a
class, you have to do or die with what your given.
Dave.

>> the U.S.S. Haden.
>> Bottom line is do you guys like the option of choosing less known ships

>> different from Enterprise, but have a different name. If I added other

>> Since we are talking about multiple ships and classes do you guys want a

>> are better armed than the Intrepid-class, but are very slow compared to
>> modern standards. Most modern designs do warp 9.7 and above with the
>> Excelsiors only doing warp 9.4. However, all Excelsior-Class ships in

>> Then, you have the Saber-Class frigates. From all I have read on them
>> they are pretty much like an Intrepid-Class armourment and speed wise,
>> but rather than just photons some of them carry quantums as well.
>> So anothr question is how much does difference matter? Are you guys more
>> interested in justplaying the popular ships we know and love or are you
>> interested more in a true sim style game where you can basicly make up
>> your ship with all the features you want based on known classes, and you
>> can pick class and name of your ship?
