A lot of the ships I'm seeing named here are in progressing fan projects already. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the Pioneer project - early ships that I've always envisioned as having shields that are barely worth the name and primitive inertial compensation. Reading Action Stations, one of the things that struck me was that a passing volley of laser fire seemed to strip out shields pretty easily even on serious combat fighters, and longterm durability was in question even in the hands of a skilled pilot.
Oh yeah, I've also wanted to see a Stormfire used as a primary weapon. Viva ammo limits! (and viva those who can hit consistently enough to keep shooting through a long battle.)
