No worries.
Well, the batleh and the martial arts do the same damage cause items aren't
supported yet. Still, most people don't know how to properly handle a batleh
anyway.
Alright, I will keep the klingons as they are. The main objectives were to
slow the player down, not really destroy them.
Hopefully in a few weeks the maps will be done.With everything hopefully
properly explained etc and so forth.
It was good haveing input, thatnks for all your help.

Hi allan
Well on an interesting note when you go to bed I am getting up,
anyway I do end up testing a lot at your night.
Today I have to catch up on various things but will try to get on it again.
Sadly major offline end of life thingswill take most of tuesday, so
sadly I will have to exit the trek universe at that point, there are
a couple of days where I will have disruptions but after the next 2
weeks I should have a stretch of uninterupted testing.
Keep the maps going.
Personally I think we have enough klingons right now with the way the
fight goes you really don't need anymore since they come at you.
But maybe once you enter the last room you should fight the klingon leader.
also klingons have swords of a sort so you either have one or kill a
warior and get one.
