And as posted before, the Fed DNL has an overabundance of power compared to all other race DNL ship due to starting date. I will post here the ship, and starting date as per power on the ships. All these ships have 1.25 movement costs. List as per SG06 mod.
Fed: DNL 57 power, 2267 DVL 55 power 2273
Klink: C5(series) 55 power, 2267
Rom: SHR 58 power, 2272(5 yrs after fed-klink)
Lyr: DNL 53 power, 2268 DNLPp 57 power 2270
Hyd: HGE 52 power, 2268 HGE+ 56 power 2272(5 yrs after fed-klink)
Gorn: DNL 56 power, 2272(5 yrs after fed-klink)
ISC: DNL 55 power, 2283(16 yrs after fed-klink)
Mirak: DNL 53 power, 2267
By looking at when they come out, and how powerful they are(not including weapons), the Feds get a rather big jump considering how long it takes for some races to even produce one. THE ISC get their butts handed to them as by the time they actually build one nearly all the other Dreds are already in production.
The Roms have the most powerful, but only 5 years after the Feds, Klinks, and Mirak have one out, 4 years after the Hydrans and the Lyrans, and the same time as the Gorn.
Suggested to move the availability of the Fed DNL a tad later over changing the ship is what is being discussed. I had suggested 2 years, making it 2269, but maybe even 1 year (2268), could make a difference.
