I see the point tom, especially if your going for total realism here. Perhaps rather than having your ship upgraded you are awarded the command of a more prestigious and powerful ship for more dangerous missions?
depending upon how many classes of ships there were, you could let the player choose which ship he/she wishes to command for a given mission, then have the more serious classes of ships added to the list later on? Certainly there seem to be pressidants in startrek both for captains choosing to remaine with a more inferior ship even when offered a higher command, and of captains moving on to bigger and better things later. This might even be a way to allow the player to have lower ranked missions before becoming captain, ad introduce more complexity to ship management during the game, ---- say as an officer in charge of a mission on a shuttle craft, or a commander in charge of the saucer section of a separated ship. At the weekend I saw a second hand copy of first contact going cheap, which was good, so I've managed to start my collection of the next gen films. I don't know if I wish to buy voyager, but a friend of mine was recommending a site which does dvd wrentals of series box sets, which would be a nice way of watching it, not to mention other series like enterprise, ---- but only when i've got through Ds9 and next gen, which will take me a fair while.
