Starmada in CL41

After getting 4 ships in CL 40, I was really disappointed to only get two Starmada ships in CL 41. Even worse, neither ship was Romulan or Gorn... and *one* of the ships was just a minor tweak of one that appeared in CL 41! Even worser, the two Fed ships in CL 40 are in Romulan Armada.

...

That's not nice for us Romulan Armada fans. Please don't forget us in CL 42, okay?

Actually... what would be nice for the next issue... updated ships for the *Fast* cruisers from both Romulan Armada and Klingon Armada. Make 'em, you know, faster than the ships they are modified from, you know....

you;'re going to have to talk to Daniel Kast about fast ships, since I don't design for his system. His system doesn't really understand power allocation and so it doesn't really understand fast ships (or slow ships like a war eagle).

Actually... my request above may be lame.

Just bring us back up to 2 pages + 4 ships (instead of 1 page + 2 ships) and make sure to include at least one plasma ship and I'll be happy.

A second page of Prime Directive stuff wouldn't hurt anything either!

There are only 120 pages in a Captain's Log, and there is FIERCE competition for them. The SFB guys want more pages, the F&E guys want more pages, the PD guys want more pages, and the FC guys want more pages. Oh, and everybody wants more pages of fiction.

I'll just go buy the supplemental file. That's like getting more pages for all of them.

regarding the fast ships. I've tried plugging the numbers into the various calculators available at mj12's starmada forum and the points difference for adding a point of "engine" is very minor (IIRC we're talking about 10 points on a ship that's almost 300 points to begin with, so just a few percent) and shouldn't upset game balance even if you don't charge for it.
