If there is one thing I wished a Star Trek feature could be incorporated into FreeSpace, it would be speed. Every starship in Star Trek outruns a cruiser anytime!

My Renault5 outruns a FS2 cruiser...

even the fighters are abit sluggish -  once you put the speed upto 200 its abit more fun

Stormtroopers are very accurate.....unless you're a main character or an Ewok.

How about this?
 
It's my Raptor-class escort vessel. It's a combination of Klingon and Federation designs. (To tell you all the truth, this ship had it's birth a half hour ago when I was trying to make a render w/ my really bad Defiant and Bird of Prey models and they loaded on top of one another in TS  )

Not true!  There is one TOS ep where a redshirt survives!    Its the one where that shuttle crashes on that planet and is attacked by those giant gorilla creatures.

No! That can't be! The ultimate constant in the universe (RedShirt=dead) isn't true!

Yeah... if you think about it like that. Starfleet is the Federation's military... and just like our military, they usually make all their ships look the same... just like they way they all like to wear uniforms... the military likes things looking the same.

And about it being a fictional universe... sure, it is, but it's the Star Trek universe and all things in that universe have to fit the definition of that fictional universe or else it wouldn't be "Star Trek".

Now, don't think I'm defending Star Trek per say... but when you create a fictional universe you have to set certain rules so that all other fictional works based in that universe will be understood as coming from the same fictional universe.

Grey Wolf,
  I would be interested in your Star trek ships. Where can they be downloaded?
