any chance you could add marine ships back into the game? they were the only thing that were any good at capturing enemy ships (which in my opinion is one of the best parts of armada) also the klingons do't seem to have any ships with tractor beams? its kinda anoying to have no way when playing the klingons to rescue a disabled negh'var or other ship stuck deep in enemy territory. last thing, could the BoP be slightly toughened up (maybe 10 extra sheilds and 10 extra hull, with a bit extra metal and dilithium cost) it seems to be the weakest ship in the game right now besides scouts, and its almost useless except at the start of the game (later on the pulse weapon penalty applies alot more cuz of the increase in larger ships and they don't seem to last a second) that little icnrease would make it much more effective when engaging destroyers/crusier later in the game.

ah ok thats cool    

"no race has a tractorbeam right now.. it will come back in beta 2..."

Yeah, that was always fun, dominating the ai and then having a rescue rpg with a ship rescuing other ships. Hopefully, it will be possible to keep a ship in one piece long enough to board this  time.

 

cap ships, i hope, constructors never could salvage, they got pounded to fast, or where two slow.
