Well rather than debate this in theory we could fly a few Gorn v Rom 3v3's and see what happens.

As much as I absolutely abhor the idea of agreeing with this guy, he's right.

Also (of course) you'd have to try it different eras, maybe the Rms are better in early/whatver with maulers, but iirc don't Gorn PFs absolutely smoke Rom PF's under AI control? (or maybe it's the other way around..)

t00l's right, we have to see how winnable these fights can be.   I'm game for tuesday night.

Not familiar with how the match ups come out with F&E rules, but under PBR rules gorn held their own, especially in early/mid. Late is a stretch though.

One way to handle it would be to alow "join" operations with allies, under certain limitations.

Assuming a GW Scenario, so far we got the below regarding Race Leaderships . . .

Federation:  ?
Kzinti:  Dax
Hydran:  t00l
Gorn:  Kroma (?)

Klingon: ?
Lyran:  Hexx (?)
Romulan:  ?

I'll fly anything, who else is interested in running a side?

If need be I can run a side.  Any side, honestly.  My skills at flying are par at best (I can trounce AI, and can at least put up a fight in PvP, but expecting me to win a PvP fight... probably not going to happen, regardless of what race I'm flying) but I can devote the time to administration.

I can do Romulan, but if there is to be no KCR(F) I need to know a few things. I can do the Feds too I suppose. I probably won't be home until 9 pm eastern tomorrow so I hope you guys will still be on TS.

The KCR is so small in the grand scheme of things. Having a 2-1 ship superiority on the front you're fighting on is what matters, not a miniscule superiority in one ship's power curve.

That said the Roms can still build many other goodies like the Superhawk-B.

Yes, Yes, and well, I have been called a military genius before (but I think that was in jest...).  But yes I do play Strategic games.

Who needs a KCR when you can build an FHX?

Me neither, but then again we won't notice how different it is.

Can't be there tonight (monthly poker game) but if a rusty pilot is needed anywhere as this progresses I would enjoy flying some time. I can fly pretty much any race with equal lack of skill.

Cloak goes by separate rules, so the overpricing of the plasma ships has nothing to do with that.

Just give each of them another 6 EP's to deal with the overpriced ships.


I thought of a way to deal with the Gorns over-priced ships that let's the retain their "Gorniness."  Simply give the Gorns more spare parts, this empahsises their ability to take a beating.

Thoughts?

EDIT:   The more I look at the ship price on the SITs the more i see the complete lunacy in the pricing schemes.   In no reality should a Gorn CCH cost more to build than an F-BCF or K-C7.   Does anyone disagree with me?

We're fixing that by tweaking the econ up, remember?

I reallly, really do not want to reprice every plasma ship. Especially when the SIT's make such a handy reference.

i guess just giving them more money can work, it's gotta be the simplest solution and God know we need SOMETHING simple.
