The SM SC also has more armour, is faster, and still has 90' turns, which sets precedent.
So to recap, the Imperial most requested new ships/fixes are:
#1. Voss Cruisers at original price with 6+ armour and 90' turns. (possibly S4 torps, but not essential)
#2. Torps for Defiant, Lances swapped for a total FP4 F/L/R Battery.
#3. Retribution with FP18 @ 45cm, with possible price increase.
And if these profiles are going to require protracted play testing to get the costs right (note that we're not interested in different profiles), then we would rather you NOT make any changes during FAQ 2010, because that will only complicate changing the prices back again. We do NOT want quick Fixes, we would rather these not be included in FAQ 2010, but introduced with due care and attention next year.
