I personally like it the way it is. It keeps strategy in the game. I mean, if you don't conserve your resources carefully you could find yourself stranded far from a starbase with no phasers, torpedos, shields and vital systems offline. That happened to me a few days ago when I redownloaded STFC. I'd forgotten that Deiant has a smaller supply of torpedos than the other ships and I had three Cardacians surrounding me. Needless to say Defiant went bye bye fairly quickly. If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died.
