	There a further development of the Q-ship LAC's.  The main
differences
are a reduction of general purpose capabilities, in favor of a
uncomprimising close range strike role.  No broadside weapons-- but one
Co-ax Greaser that's as big as a BC greaser mount.  Fly in close, and
blow the enemy up.  For those of you who havn't bought the book, baen
has  posted the first 25 chapters, which include a full chapter that
stars the new LAC's.
