Could you make a text file that has all possible shipnames? There is a similar file for stars names (STARS.txt) where the game randomly picks names from. Is that possbile for ship names? +1

general orders can be good (destroy specific ship) hitpoint on module too (destroy engines, type of weapon, etc .. ) crew management is maybe a little too complicated (with experience management)
is it C++ managed ? 1.1 or 2.0 ? VS 2005 provides some tools to audit CLR or profile applications (counters performances etc ..) you can find some free tools to do it (NProf, etc ..) do you use WPF while you work on Vista ? It's me or the pet looks like Nintendogs ? Good luck for optimizations !
Y-Wing could do the trick .. but i now understand the point .. it's all about logistics ! if the number of ships is limited in a fleet the only way to increase firepower is to raise firepower ships .. so shield is a way to force ennemies to increase inital firepower i regret that different kind of weapon can't target different ships ..
