Credits and their "Replacement"

Well, the Descent may not have a devastating offense potential, but it has more of a defensive/support role, which keeps in line with the general federation attitude towards their ships.

Also i think most people only look at the starting values of a ship class, and correct me if i´m wrong, but the progression of various vessels is different, a saber does not gain the same increase in stats as the descent for example. As i said before in another thread the defiant gets a staggering increase in stats  if it only reaches it´s first experience level, so i guess that´s a factor to be taken into account as well.

i like the descent the way it is. she is a tad slow but i primarily use her as a base defense ship. if you use ships like the excelsior mk2 to draw ships to her shes ok.

Don't forget that if you want to be really annoying, you can use the Descent to recharge a starbase's shields.  As if those didn't take long enough to bring down.

the thing i dont like about removing credits  is its taking away options for the enduser  making options more basic pre-defined and in one realm. 

i suppose there is still the gentlemen's agreement..
