Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
This is somewhat off-topic, however I have recently recalled that the Sovreign-class vessal for the Federation has reduced tonnage when compared to the older Galaxy-class. I have not read the entire thread, so I can be wrong about the mount design for this particular vessel. It increases the power of phasers only, correct?
If so, perhaps, the mount can instead reduce the tonnage that componets have when it is in use. If the QNP mod(or a varient?) is in effect, smaller, less bulky ships have their abilities related to speed and the like increased.
By having the smaller componets mount, they can have speed, and allow the player to customize the ship by an additional amount, while increasing the overall ability of the class.
That should make the Sovereign-class a substantial upgrade over the Galaxy-class. I don't know if it can work though, since my memory about how the mounts work in the design document can be altered is rather dim.
