Playing with prefitted ships firing missiles is hardly anything like Trek. ROFL. I have seen so many "wildweasels" used in the series and movies I dont know why they dont have them stock with the franchise. ROFL I cant wait for Picard to order the release of a scatterpack once again. ROFL. It truly makes sense why would you want to refit your ship custom to what you want? Mabey that would be exciteing. Frey keep spreading your banter I am sure they boys here will listen and praise you, since your leading the "HELP IS ON THE WAY" speach.
Ahhem .... when was the last time the captain to the USS Kitty Hawk was allowed to remove those blased AA guns and mount a few 16" turrets on the deck?
Ok, here, when was the last time Picard was allowed to head to dry dock and swap out those annoying Ph11s for a few better Pulse Phasers ah and ditch those crap Phots for Quantums? Yeah I remember that episode <sacasim>
SFC3 is great but don't fool yourself, as an acurate representation of the ST warfare scene it's not. It's a fun game that gives you a lot of options, be happy. OP is a game that strives to be more a battle field simulation than SFC3 and it does it very well.
Dude do you even watch Star Trek? ROFL aparantly not. I have seen the movie where it is talked about the enterprise getting the updated quantum torpedo, matter of fact I saw the defiant get them too. Funny how during the life of a Starship it gets REFITTED every so often. And why would you place pulse phasers on a starhip when they were designed for a escort ship? Apparantly you need to stay in the D2 where you estute inability for clear and rational thought will stay subdued.
Wildcard I'm gonna have to call you on this. Please explain to me where / when the Enterprise was getting updated quantum torpedoes? The first instance that quantum torpedoes was even mentioned was in 1st Contact, where the new Sovvy class was revealed after the destruction of NCC 1701 D. Do the timelines stuff and call me back when yer done.
Your argument about "pulse phasers" is also lacking. Interestingly enough photon torpedoes were the Federation staple for, I'm sorry - how long ? 35 years?
And exactly where are you drawing your information regarding the creation of pulse phasers for escort ships only? Please quote cannon references or make sure to state you've got no empirical evidence to support your claim. Line class ships in the TOS / TMP / TNG era were upgraded just as warships are today, and Castrin's point is obvious to the extreme. If you are trying to say that the fact that you can take your starship into spacedock and swap out WARP CORES is even remotely cannon, I'll let that statement speak for itself.
"Um Yea, StarFleet ? This is Captain WildCard. Look, I need to do some serious reconfiguration of my ship here, okay? I need to swap out some phasers, Oh yea, can I get a couple of those new Quantum torpedoe launchers? Oh yea, and I need the entire WARP CORE swapped out okay? While we're at it, let's just replace my Computer systems, Anti-Cload technology, and impulse engines themselves".
"What do you mean, 'Starfleet Core of Engineers'? I don't understand 'revisions' specs. And dangit I want this to be done in the next three hours or so. Oh yea, and BTW would you please tell Spock to stop screwing around over there on the Enterprise and let him know I've reassigned him to my ship?"
"MMMkay, thanks".
