So far, there has been a marked diference between the reported viability of the five currently fleshed-out fleets as seen by Mongoose, and the feedback being generated so far "in the wild" here on the boards and elsewhere. Granted, there has been a lot more on-table experience earned in the actual development process at this early stage, but it seems that the dynamics of the five fleets which no doubt seem self-evident in light of such experience are not being so easily picked up on from the other side of the screen.
To try and tackle this, could it be possible for Matt, or someone similarly well-versed with how the Feds, Klingons, Romulans, Gorns and Kzintis fly in the course of on-table play, perhaps offer a tactical primer which could offer an overview of how the fleets handle themselves as seen through Mongoose's eyes?
I don't ask about the Tholians or Orions yet, since they each have to wait for future releases to be brought up to the same level as the others.
I'm still waiting to see if/when my FLGS can get the rulebook, so I'm not in a position to offer much in the way of constructive feedback just yet; but I would ask if something couldn't be done in order to bridge the gap in perceptions which seems to dominate the nature of debate about this game here on the forums.
