There is some discussion in the Omega rulebook that at a certain point in the Omega universe.

Seed 31 capable Cruisers were developed.

It would be nice if SSD books were developed with cruisers on up for all of the Omega races that had those ships.

I would imagine that's probably the next or one of the nest Omega products.

you would imagine wrong since it is 3 years later and no 30 warp ships yet

Actually, there are a couple of sample speed-31 cruisers in Captain's Log #23; the Vari Command Cruiser and Wing Cruiser.

Interestingly enough, both classes have something in common; each are entirely new hull types. You cannot simply upgrade a CL to get a WC; you have to build a brand new ship.

In my mind, that is a dynamic which would help distinguish some empires' speed-30 cruisers from others. While certain empires might be able to give some of their pre-existing ships what is tantamount to a plus refit (like those seen in the Kzinti and Hydran fleets), others could be given some sort of technological barrier (mechanical limitation, warp field restriction, or soem other such technobabble) which would require them to build brand new ships.

Parsec-ages may vary, of course.

That wasn't very nice.
