*sigh* What was wrong with the idea of allowing all races their own "supercharged" Red October?

That "supercharged" part is what is wrong. You risk to make a ship that is just too powerful at the start of the game ... When *free* to design you could make it a nub with the MCM for example, so in 2403 you can kill another players HW SB and bomb the planet flat ... (to give an extreme example, I'll hold the other possible ideas back in case the host decides to go with a DIY nub Wink

since I'm planning on joining)

Starting Superships are hard to balance ... I do remember a game where all players started with a miner which had OAs on it as well (game by LEit?) but IIRC all players had the same ship and it's as for offensive power it was pretty limited ...

And it's "The HUNT for RO", if you make the ship to powerful you make it a hero unit that becomes the *hunter* instead of the prey. It might become more than something to find and destroy with too much impact on the game (even without weap) ... Of course still possible, just another kind of game. Choices choices ... Smile
