	I've considered trying to convert Wing Commander ships over for
FT
use but got stuck when trying to establish a scale for converting Wing
Commander tonnages to FT mass. The Wing Commander ships kinda jump all
over
the place as far as tonnage IIRC. If you know where I can get reliable
data
on the all the ships from the various WC games, I might give it another
shot. Another problem would be whether or not to try to replicate all
those
different weapons or just rank them as batteries.
