We usually play on a 4' x 6-7' surface.  Anytime I get a chance to play
on a
wider table I do.  Another couple of feet in width really opens the
table up
for fast little guys, giving them a much better chance of maneuvering
out of
the death zone of a big armed brick.  On a 4' wide table, a
superdreadnoiught
can ride the center stripe and have both edges just within the medium
range
for beam weapons.  A wider table gives you room to slip by into the rear
without taking excessive casualties...
