Note that the above is firmly tongue in cheek, but it is ridiculous that we're having to come up with new variants to do the job the old ones should be doing but aren't, simply because the HAs are refusing to entertain any sort of profile creep, even for the ships that really need it.
(Overlord, Defiant, Retribution)
It must be hard to be an HA, I haven't seen anything but criticism recently. I do appreciate their efforts in keeping BFG going, even if I do disagree with a lot of their decisions!
