I say the flete based is better (turn based is easier for me and I hate real times, can't play sound rts). But I like the mission idea.

I guess it all depends on how many people would be in favor of that style of game. I think you are right that a Lone Wolf style Star Trek game would be infinitely more cool than a strategy game like STFC. For one thing in light of recent discussions of expantion packs etc this is the perfect style of game to do it in. The game could ship with 10 to 15 missions initially and I could add missions to it here and there giving it nearly unlimited replay value in the process. Like Lone Wolf over time it could end up having a hundred or more missions to choose from. Another way to add replay value to the game is to allow you to select a specific ship and class from the game setup menu. That way you could technically play the same mission multiple times trying out various different classes of ships in the Federation fleet. One time you might select a Defiant-Class ship, another time a Galaxy-Class, another time a Nebula-Class, etc. The replay value of this feature alone is huge. So your idea has maret. So my question to the rest of the list is what do you say. Should we abandon the fleet strategy game and go with a Lone Wolf style simulation where you take on individual missions and campaigns, or should we proceed with the real time strategy game in production now?
