Topic: restricted ships

Actually, there is still the real SFB reason, which is to maintain balance and differenciation amoung the racial flavors. Any other "reason" given in the SFB descriptive/historical comments is just a rationalization for those that require it in order to suspend disbelief, as SVC has said several times.

Why do feds get PGs then they are Hydran tech, that is not their racial flavour. The reason they got them was to sell more stuff, because the mass of peeps playing were Feds and they wanted cool gizmos, ADB obliged for fiscal reasons then came out with the racial tripe and fighter rubbish.

ADB really do need a continuity guy

Agreed

If a weapon works, in time of war it gets made, regardless of cost, and other less effective stuff gets dumped. The idea the Feds couldn't manufacture more if they wanted to, having actually replicated the foreign tech in the first place is laughable.

Anyhow none of this is an argument for restricting Fed Escorts in this game.

Nor is any techno-babbel argument reason for unrestricting them or adding  Ph-Gs to more Fed ships.

Continuity ... Trek ... continuity ... trek ....

No, I just can't see any connection between the two

Why?

Unfortunately as has been  commented on in the past in many reviews of SFB it  is "in danger of collapsing under the weight of its own inconsistencies"

Yeap! They'll probably all be saying that another 20 years from now too.

Kroma has it right on.
