Metathran's trainer request makes a lot of sense. This game seems like it will be kind of like Wing Commander -- the most annoying missions I played in that game were the ones where I had to protect some wimpy little freighter. Then again, if I had the ability to rapidly fire an unlimited supply of torpedoes, I probably wouldn't run into a similar problem...
Oh well, can't wait for this game and, of course, the accompanying trainers!
Yeah, I know, this game likes to have you spread out your forces to defend weak ships.
