You know what you should do, Kortez. Nevermind flying Mirak wishing you have Klingon tools. Just fly Klingon, mah brutha!

I know that isn't the point, but it's a thought!

Hmmm ... you have a point, you know, and I love the K-XCA!

Doh, actually Kortez was a Klingon in the GFL and we kidnapped him. So his change over to the Mirak shiplist has been, well for lack of better words, less then stellar for him. He just plain thinks the Mirak shiplist sucks. Unfortunately, I have to agree with him on alot of his points. But I have always flown Mirak since the game came out and have always managed to overcome.

The Hydrans get more power in SFB because all of their weapons use power, unlike the drone races, including rearming their fighter's fusions and hellbores

Come on! The Mirak X heavies are horrible pieces of junk. You try flying one and you will see. Good luck cruising around at about speed 15.

This was just to answer why the Hydrans get so much power. It's a carry over from SFB, where they need it. Since it doesn't cost anything to arm ftr fusions and HBs in SFC it's probably out of whack. Except that when a Hydran looses his/her ftrs then they're undergunned. Since fusion ftrs have to fly through a sh*tstorm of phasers and adds to get a shot off, loosing ftrs happens pretty fast. I understand what everyone is saying about the mirak x-ships. Even the Klingons aren't disputing that.

Firesoul, can you check the Democracy class battlecruisers to see why they only have 2 gattling phasers and the LDR light and heavy cruisers all have 4? It seems to me that this is a mistake, but perhaps that is correct as far as SFB goes.

Thanks!

Couple quick shiplist questions, and this seems to be the place to get a good answer

F-DDG/+ is listed as a drone bombardment ship....why? It only carries 2 G racks.

Also, should the F-BCG have double drone control? The BCV, which is identical weapons wise, has it.

Same question for the F-GSC/CVL.

Thanks

Carriers almost always have double drone control in SFB. Presumably they would be controlling not only their own drones, but others "in the air" from ships in their fleet. Generally (there are always exceptions), the normal cruisers will have drone control = sensor rating, but bombardment ships and carriers would double up. Heck, there are some ships with just 3 drone control.

"G" designation on an F-DDG or a BCG is meant to show it is a "guided weapons" upgrade/variant. That doesn't mean it's a bombardment ship, just that it opts for a couple drones in addition to, but not to totally replace, photons.

.. after all.. it's not like I'm adding weapons to these ships.
The players will have to PAY for the drones they use up, etc..

.. but yeah.. I don't think I will implement this right away.. but I feel it's a damned good idea.

PS. Bases would also gain that +6 .. wouldn't they..
