In quite a lot of episodes in trek, our heroes are usually caught in a combat situation while only flying a shuttle/runabout. I noticed we don't currently have any missions that involve action like this, and it kind of makes the danube-class runabout a little pointless.
What I have in mind, is an introduction of a wider range of shuttlecraft (On sale for EC), and to have special missions for them that you can't do in a bigger ship.
Missions could involve dense asteroid fields, or spacial anomalies that shuttles can tolerate better (e.g. VOY 4x15 "Hunters"). The scenario could involve either incapacitating an already weakened/damaged ship, or evading more powerful ships while trying to get to a safe warp-out point.
I think this can only add more variety and spice to the trek experience, what does everyone else think?
This is something people have been asking for since the Danube became available in game. It's a good idea that many people would love to see implemented.
I think at the moment though it's been put aside so the Devs can concentrate on adding more features that people have asked for and fleshing out the Klingon side. Hopefully it will come one day, but until then, you've got to comeup with your own waysof using the Danube.
