Which is why I buy a lot of NSL, and more than a few FSE. My logic is
that I'm painting them all grey and putting crosses on them, and who
ever heard of Byzantines inventing anything military anyway (barring
Greek Fire)? They stole the best ideas from their opponents.
Redesigning the fleet when I get the FB is gonna be real interesting.
Probably going to be hull sizes as per the mini in question with the
weapon mix reworked to suit my ideas.

Hrm...Hadn't thought of doing that--take a Medium Freighter and put
parts from Wings&Things on it. That's a sick thought--fragile, but
cheap. Using the Q-ship rules, I could get a lot of fighters. That
would be a hell of a surprise for any bunch of Privateers or other
commerce raiders. I'll try your idea for a small standard carrier,
though. I think I've even got a NAC CL lying around somewhere.
