On the other hand, in a big battle like that, a single ship and its crew are even less likely to make the difference.

The trireme will be in LTC2, and it will actually be fairly closely based on physical reality, because we have real performance stats for a trireme in modern times. We aren't excluding it. We're just not putting it in the primary "adventurers' gear" book, because really, it isn't.
