Hi, Actually, in terms of maneuverability Defiant is the ship to have in a fight. It is smaller, faster, and the DS9 tech manual gives it unusually high ratings for a ship its size. The Enterprise E's engines aren't all that much different than a modified Galaxy-class warp drive. As for missions etc all of this is still in the planning and thinking stage. It is possible I might create two star Trek games. One strategy game like classic STFC since I still like STFC 1, and then a bridge commander or fleet commander type game. As far as other ships goes I am not yet certain. It would be nice to have a full real time strategy game where you command multiple ships like commanding tanks in GTC.
