Re: R65 Ship Stats proposals
I agree with the principle - but not with the start point.
I'd be happier if we started with a set which complied with the supposed attributes of each race and perhaps used the "original" ship names (and targets).
If "minor" changes were then made each round in line with "issues" raised in previous rounds this would have (at least) two benefits:
Players would understand which ships did what without having to study the manual every round;
Ridiculously unbalanced sets could be eliminated.
In addition to this, the "back story" could be restored to the game so that it had some kind of consistency.
This would allow players to go back to the "suspension of disbelief" which is so important to the enjoyment of games like this which (as we all know) is, in essence, just a spreadsheet.
