There were some things that some of my friends and myself didn't like about Star Fleet Battles. We didn't care for the fact that, eventually, every ship seemed to be armed with the same weapons. Call us purist it you must but we made changes to our Klingon & Romulan Armada ships to reflect our attitudes.

The only Federation ships we allowed to have Drones and or Plasma Torpedoes were the "New" ones. And even then these ships carried a lot less, and/or weaker versions, that the species that the weapons were native to.

The Kzinti used their Drones as their major offensive weapon. We bumped up the drone racks by one on those ships.

The old "Eagle" class Romulan ships, those that were converted over from the old sub-light-speed class, were given "Armor Plating". They had that in the original Star Fleet Battles game.

Overall... the game is a h#ll of a lot more enjoyable, faster, and easier to play now. I tip my hat to the MJ12 and ADB for coming up with this idea!!!
