Frankly, I'd like the variety you could get with NCC1701E. The Sovereign class was lighter and more maneuverable than the Galaxy class or the Defiant class Escort ship. I do, however, ask one question...will there be AI friends? Say a couple of Akira class or something to help you out some times like in the sighted games Bridge and Fleet Commanders? I mean, having no backup in a rather large organization is a little odd.
Wait, I just thought of another question. Will you incorporate training missions or simulated combat to prepare us? Also, I read a few of the other posts for dealing with using multiple ship types, and I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, but it seems that if you just forget about the Defiant class, pretty much every other ship class is the same basic structure but with variations in armament and armor. Could you, for example, make something like a basic class Federation_Ship or something that has code that applies to all ships and just switch out armament and speed and such for different ships? Just a thought.

Hi everyone, Over the passed couple of months I have been tinkering with STFC 2.0 off and on. Unlike STFC 1.x STFC 2.0 is going to be a real time action game. Instead of commanding several bases, ships, etc you will be in charge of commanding a single ship throughout the various missions. However, that is about as far as I have got with the basic idea for the game. One question remains which ship to use. I personally want to stick with something Next Generation era and that pretty much narrows it down to Enterprise NCC-1701-D or Enterprise NCC-1701-E. Though, thje U.S.S. Defiant is also an option here. Each ship is good, but all depends on if you want a television series type plot or a movie plot. Each ship is unique. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, as seen on Star Trek Next Generation, is a Galaxy-Class cruiser. Armorment includes 250 photon torpedoes, 9 deep space probes, standard type-x phasers, and shields were rated at 2026 gigawatts. Maximum achieved speed on STNG was warp 9.6 for 12 minutes. Not bad, but after the movies came out the Enterprise E has really made the television series sound sort of lame. Enterprise NCC-1701-E, as seen in Star Trek 8, 9, and 10 has far more fire power than its earlier name sake. The latest Enterprise comes armed with 325 photon torpedoes, 175 quantum torpedoes, type-x phasers, ablative hull armor, and shield strength is 5056 gigawatts. Maximum rated speed is warp 9.7. As you can see the newer Enterprise has far more armor, firepower, speed, etc. The U.S.S. Defiant, seen on Star Trek Deep Space 9, certainly has its own interesting abilities and features. It comes armed with a cloaking device, 60 quantom torpedoes, 30 photon torpedoes, type-u phaser cannon, ablative hull armor, and shields are rated as 2026 gigawatts. Maximum known speed is warp 9.985. Definitly not bad ship specs if you ask me. I guess what I am asking if you had to pick one which ship would you choose. If you choose Defiant chances are I would make most of the missions take place during the dominion war so you can slug it out with Jem'hadar fighters, Breen Battle Cruisers, and Cardassian Cruisers. If you pick Enterprise D I would make the missions play out more-or-less like the tv series with each mission have its own bad guys, mission orders, etc. With the Enterprise E we could go either way. The Enterprise E was constructed just before the Dominion War, served through the Dominion War, and seen action after the Dominion War.
