You had a Risner strategy KLOK? Can you direct me to which thread it is in? (I was basing this Risner strategy off of things that Mal and Mark and I tested about a month or so ago... I just never felt ready to write it due to uneasiness with the Phalanx and Avalon) 

EDIT: Found it! You are right, very similar: glad to see that this style of play works for more people

yeah, that idea came to mind after reading the first sites in the risner-complainer-thread - but i dunno what you mean with "uneasiness with the phalanx", cause i think that ship is pretty useful. only the avalon is givin me a headache, cause its like the most useless ship in the game. i hope they exchange it with the achilles.

Well, with 3.07 the Phalanx is more powerful than previous incarnations, but it really doesn't make such a noticeable impact as I'd hope for an expensive, limited, late game unit. Since you will mostly face battleships and cruisers at that point, the area of effect damage and pulse phasars just aren't that impressive....

There should be a special ability making the Magnan array more powerful... the current one allows standard weapons to fire more often.

maybe they could increase the area of impact.. or killing a bit of the crew.. but.. i dunno

Sooo... asides from the cooperative multiplayer guide (that I am working on), is there anything else that people think needs to be added in? Any details missing? Anything that could be improved?

page 4, the contents page two entries have "Error! Bookmark not defined" minor thing. I'll proof read it properly when I'm not so tired.

EDIT: Page 18, in the mines section, it's actually klingon mixed-tech defiants with antimatter mines.

Yeah, hopefully that issue should go away for the next version. I completely redid the bookmarks right after release to make the guide much more functional

Looking forward to your comments as always

Indeed, I'm trying to think of a suitable caption for it....

"Close encounters."

"Evasive action."

It is a great pic, with many possibilitys.

Hmm, perhaps something along the lines of  "Don't they know? They can't even penetrate our navigation shields. Reduce speed... drop main shields, as well"

That's a very Klingon thing to say...

Ah you used my borgy one too, yey!

But it's a TNG quote from Riker or Picard in "the outrageous okona"

It's also something a Klingon ship did to Dukat, just to insult him.
