Everyone has different tastes and different bench marks they use when judging ships, and other bits of kit...I know my own tastes, and my fellow gamers but I am really curious what other people like and dislike.
If you were looking over a new collection of ships what sort of vessels would you like to see in it.
What I would like to see on the showroom floor
As for Commercial Vessels.
My own tastes tend to run toward the run of the mill, rank and file working ships. secondary craft that might be swarming around a High port, or parked on a down port. Nothing too fancy but ships that would be something you might travel on, or might serve as an setting/prop for an adventure.
Military vessels I like a good cross section from patrol vessels and scouts up to the big battlewagons. I really do not like gimmick ships,one trick ponies, or ships that are more likely to be moored at a depot, or naval yard than out doing the actually day to day work of the fleet.
I am really fond of the smaller vessels corvettes frigates, and destroyers since your more likely to see one of those, than a Battleship or carrier. also small vessels are more suitable for PC groups, since they tend to have small close knit crews rather than the population of a small city.
secondly what would yo NOT want to see in it. I mean lets face it we all have that one thing that can turn us off.
My turnoffs.
Vessels that are nothing but a stack of statistics, without any style, history, or background....I know books tend to be very picky about the amount of background and descriptive text in a catalog, but I also like a ship that has some flavor to it rather than just an impressive stat block and a few pics....
