	A nifty idea--that scares the hell out of me!! Can we say
STEALTH
TORPEDO PLANES!? Mini-pulse torpedoes screaming in from ghost blips that
barely appear on your viewscreen before every instrument and panel goes
to
static and then black...

	Really, though. Combine stealth with torpedo planes and other
than
wave guns or spinal mount nova guns (which we don't use--too powerful,
too
cheesy too) and there is no defense--other than fighters and what
happens
when stealth planes fight other stealth planes--my God, stealth
interceptors...
