Also, lol Miles.  I spell my name with an 'E', not an 'A'.  But I see the funny in wordplay.

i changed grey to gray on purpose to make the ray pun.

Well I can assure you grey is not me, also, optec, am I to belive that saucerseperation may make it in game someday?

There has been mention of 'having plans' for it several times, which is pretty much code for it will be in when we figure out how.

Is it wrong to just want a fleet of saucer sections?

Just makes me think of really old sci-fi, where a bunch of flying saucers would descend with laser beams.

Saucer seperation ist more of a stategic move than a tactical. You split your firepower to two weaker parts (less shields), but you may attack from different angles. This might work for games like "Klingon Academy", but not for fleetops.

You destroy the saucer, then kill the combat section. Two small ships are weaker than one that is large. It MAY be useful, if you are short on ships and want to defend your mining while attacking in a suicide run the enemy miners with the saucers. But they dont really stand a chance. Two phaser arrays, running on battery, slow speed and shields, that (cause no main reactor) are weak.

The stats of the saucer would be like the K'tinga. The battlesection is a better excelsior.

Maybe you can switch the saucer to a newer one... that would be cool for mixed tech. A borg-mixed tech Galaxy... venture refit or something like that.

You know the picture from phoenix where a galaxy-class refit is attacked by a bog cube... hotpursuit or something like that.
THIS could be a nice one I think.

No saucer seperation, but a mixed tech Galaxy. Mixed tech souvie wont make sense, because ava-bonus is already good.
