This may sound off topic (hell, OK, it is ;)) but is anyone interested
in a 
game of VGA planets? For those who haven't tried it it's a PBeM space 
ship/campaign type game. 

The PBeM game of Full Thrust (Council of War) that is being organised
reminded 
me of this. Soz if it's too off topic.

And ppl, is the torpedoe launcher worth more than an A battery and a B
battery? 
After all, in terms of mass they're equal. And has anyone had any
experience 
with needle beams? I'm thinking of creating an anti-capital ship ship to
add a 
little something to out current games.

I was thinking maybe a heavy cruiser with 2 sheilds and as many beams
weapons 
as permitted? Purpose designed to knock out sheilds and drives, leaving
the 
enemy flagship a floating husk...

And another point (they're comin' thick n fast). If a ship has it's
drives 
nuked while going at, say, 2", it's eventually gonna hafta leave the
table. Can 
it re-enter?
