In my mind, that's the one thing I really wish DW had, because the existing database is really pretty limited. I mean... you can't even put out a full US Expeditionary Strike Group. There's only one type of Arleigh Burke... etc. If they put it out with the database editor, so that the community could add what they didn't have in there, it'd make the game have a longer run time, I think. He said they'd put out a ballistic missile defense version with the AEGIS console in it recently, and I thought that was pretty cool.

and about your gripes with DW lite?
Basically I just talked about how I didn't think the sonar model was very accurate and they said something like, "Yeah.. we don't even want to go NEAR anything the Navy MIGHT think is classified." They said theoretically they could make it better, and had done it better for the classified versions, although I'm a little skeptical, knowing the state of the art. I talked to one of their managers, not one of their development team, so of course he's going to tell me they can do everything I ask for, just give us money.
