Now there's a weird bit of synchronicity for you: this episode was on
tonight
(a local station is on it's third time around for the first 4 seasons).
This
is the same episode where Ivanova is asked to seal a deal with a strange
alien
race in a most, um, unusual manner...

To put this back on topic, has anyone correlated the strengths of the
ships in
the Earthforce Sourcebook with the TV show to see if they are in the
same
ballpark? Just wondering how "accurate" the rulebook is.
