HI Guys, I always thought that combat in trek was fought using impulse speeds, since warp was really just a way to go from point a to point b quickly, where impulse allowed for fine flying skills. I would think that impulse would greatly affect player choice, and that each ship had a diffrent maneuverability. So the defiant would have a quick turn radius, and quicker impulse maneuvering, while the enterprise would be more sluggish, and turn slower than the defiant. While impulse might be the same speed for all ships, meaning that half impulse is the same for all ships, perhaps that can be manipulated a little to give the smaller and quicker ships impulse advantage. Thus when an impulse engine gets hit, your ship would start to react more sluggish, less responsive. You could probably loss warp without losing impulse power, and vice versa and so I think impulse would be a neat addition to the game. What does everyone else think?
