I like the toned down X ships.

I think the job done with them was AOK.

Their introduction date is WAY too early.  No one used HDWs or anything else.  They're ruining the variety of the game.

Don't like 'em.  Prefer the "Iron captains Wooden ships" approach

I agree they may have been introduced too early, but they are much better than the taldren X-ships.

I really would have enjoyed playing them on the server if I'd stuck around that long.  Got too frustrated before that point though.  Did like them in practice sessions though.

Didnt mind them-- actually LOVED to fly the romulan SKX...fantastic little DD..

My only comment about X ships-- even the little Frigs is they make just about every other ship obsolete... My guess is I can beat about any fed HC hell other then carries and BCF/BCG/BCJ by using a X class DD(frig)..

X Frigs --- really were fun to fly and great to use vs PF's and fighters

I'm not sure about this, I think in many cases the X DDs are about equal to the CCHs of the different races.  They still have the hull of a DD and fall apart after a few hits.  I think a Fast cruiser will still win the fight as the X -powercurve isn't even a factor.

In an NHK, I was able to beat F-DDX and F-DGX ships in training fights.  Granted the NHK is the "mother of all CCHs" but te F-DDX is the best X DD.

This could be fun to test some time more thoroughly.

I think I heard that some of the X ships had 25 to 35 spare parts if this is true they need to come down. I would think the same as a line ship would be good.

Die Hard--

Would love to play test that with you -- you get a NHK -- I will fly the SKX --
I have two plasma S -- 8 ph 1

You have 7 ph 1 2 S torps and 2 F torps -

My opinion is I kick your arse based on the power curve issue..could be wrong but would love to play test it..

You didn't have an indifferent option so I guess I would have to say given a choice I'd rather have the HDW's. More variety, more fun and no restrictions.

Agreed, the SKX hull just won't hold up over the long hall.

Plasma X's seemed pretty well balanced...

What about other races?   While the plasma X's get upgrades to the types of plasma   (ie.CMX has 2 R's, 2 S's), what does say, the F-CLX get?  I see 2 extra phaser 1's, but the same photon load out.  196 BPV compared to 260 of the CMX.
