ENGAGE! for Matt Colville
reposted from Coda Forum
I have read the posts in your updates about Engage (by the way, they are monitored by individuals with a real fetish for starship combat games, check this website out (Starship COmbat News):

Have you considered (in your role of being Starship Combat designer) the possibility of Trek starship combat based on either the WizKids click model (i.e. MageKnight or Mechwarriorark Age as examples) or the modular Fleet Action 2 combat system by Agents of Gaming?
While I know these are proprietary systems from other companies, but does Decipher have leeway with this (from Paramount), provided you have interest?
The WizKids adaptation has that collectible intangible going for it. The FA2 concept has the benefit of readily playable large unit actions. I believe the designer for FA2 lurks on the TrekRPGnet boards and created designs for the original FA of over 40 TNG era canon vessels (including Prometheus, the Polarity Timeship, Species 8472).
In any event, Iam simply offering two cents... or inspiration. I want Engage to do well.
