If work gives me a break (small hope), wil try the 'reduced cripple' option for the Gorn - can't see the pionts dropping by more than 1
The following is a possible list of altered stats for these ships (class - current - altered values)
DD - 16/6 - 16/5 (-1)
BDD - 16/6 - 16/5 (-1)
HDD - 24/8 - 24/6 (-2)
CL - 24/8 - 24/6 (-2)
BC - 32/11 - 32/8 (-3)
BCF - 32/11 - 32/8 (-3, had thought about -2 as the ship 'might' be structurally effected by it's turn of speed, it's a fast, lumbering ship after all. Sticking with basic idea)
CM - 32/11 - 32/8 (-3)
BCH - 32/11 - 32/8 (-3)
DN - 52/18 - 52/14 (-4, thought about -5, but will stick to the pattern that has shown itself - crippled rating of lower class, which reduces stats by 1 per class.)
Nothing to great, and nothing across any ship that a Photon Torpedo won't counter. Most ships will remain slightly more combat effective, but not to a great extent.
