I wouldnt say cut short

afetr all, 3 Sharlins against any of the younger races will be menacing. They were smart to turn tail and run, otherwise it would have been a massacre. I dont think people are selling shirt the Omega because of that incedent. Personally, I dont think the ship is that great, but that's because the lack of forward firepower mostly. 2 laser/pulse cannons isnt enough, especially when you have 4 firing toward the rear.
