I like these ideas as they give the "poor old Sa'Vasku" a better chance
- my only observation is that you do need to be careful not to make them
too much like standard human craft by duplicating all (or most) of their
existing technology.
This observation made; I think I will try some of them with my friends,
as I have noticed that the Sa'Vasku were not played by us due to their
being:
a) Boring
&
b) Too easy to beat (as has been mentioned in at least one previous
post).
Please do not take these as criticisms, simply observations - I played
SFB for many years, only to watch everyone get everyone elses'
proprietary technology regardless of how ludicrous it would be to mimic
said tech and to subsequently refit your ship with it - the worst
offenders were (of course) The Federation.
Enough from me :}
