As usual Jonas the interpretation of the stats we have dug up will be open to each individual member to use or not as they see fit. I believe this to be in the spirit of what Andrea would wish from what he has said.
The Stats Committee are in place simply to draw all the factors together in a reasonable way for any members to use as a guide, and give some criteria to back up the use of any ship in an open game where the stats may be challenged by other players. They will at least have the strength of the Stats Committee behind them. I do not want any member to be put in a position when challenged by a member of the public not to be able to back up what he is doing.

Let the debate continue! I have not even conclusively decided where my position will be yet but it is certainly being modified significantly downward from that first set of stats which I suggested.
