Obviously the Excal was meant to be the do all, end all ship, and I loved flying it.
But why was it so hard to get the guns to move a little for the ITTS until then, and why wasn't that done for ALL confed fighters in the future? Sure would've made things simple.
What was so special about it being a atmosphere ship as well as space? We'd been in space awhile- surely it shouldn't have been too hard so long as you don't mount lasers, which would defract.
(Yes, Halcyon commented that a missile near atmosphere would blow my ship in SM2. But surely the problem would've been solved long before that.)
Cloaking, I have little problem with- I can see why we took so long there, since the heads of ConFleet didn't believe in its powers until after WC2 and these things take time.
Love the Excal, but we should've had them sooner, in my opinion.
