Excellent mod. I would happily buy this if it were a full game. Here are some of my thoughts afer playing this mod a lot:-

In regards to capital ships not targetting fighters, at first this annoyed me, having my large ships picked apart by fighters, but it does force you to build a more balanced fleet with fighters and smaller ships to cover the larger ones. I found that I actually enjoyed this more balanced play more than just building half a dozen sovriegns.

Photo torpedoes are too weak. They should fire a lot more often and be a fair bit stronger. It would be good if they had 2 fire modes - direct against single targets, or spread mode against a cluster of targets.

Quantum torpedoes are too powerful since they ignore shields. Take them off the fighters or scale down the strength. It is too easy for a small squad of the fighters that have them to take down even the biggest enemy ships.

The Defiant is far too powerful, too cheap and too fast to build. The other personalities (Janeway, Picard) take a lot longer to build. I usually upgrade my station as quickly as possible to be able to build this. Once you have build it, you rule the sector. Its is excellent against fighters, good against small ships and pretty good against larger ships due to its powerful quantum torpedoes (see above).

One of the Star Destroyers has a tractor beam, so should the Trek ships. Although, the size of the enemy ship should have a bearing on the effectiveness of the tractor beam.

The Galaxy class does not seem to be able to be destroyed. All of its parts except one can be destroyed, then it limps around useless for the rest of the game, taking up valuable reinforcement points.

Being a Next Gen fan, I wish Picard was on the Galaxy class Enterprise D.

Keep up the excellent work,
Gareth.

Hello all,

Fantastic Mod.

I'm sure this will be met with howls of derision, but I would prefer you to leave out land combat all together. For me, Star Trek is about space combat, and this mod does it fantastically well. I would love to see you concentrate your all of your energies on adding more features - ships, races, heroes etc, to the space combat part of the game, and ignore the land combat completely.

Just my 2 cents worth. Keep up the excellent work.

Cheers,
Gareth
