Re: Gas Skimmers OT SFB Space Monsters

<SNIP>Three ships lost in a week seems excessive to me.

Space Monsters!

This got me thinking (be afraid). Ye olde SFB was chock full of space
nasties.  It also had IIRC (books in a cold dark place) a series of
linked
scenarios (duel, fight a monster, battle two ships) called 'The
Captain's
Game'.	You had to play through each scenario and get rated at the end
as a
Captain.  Ah, those were the days ...(Love FT much more) :]p
