Thanks.

We're still fiddling with the escort mechanics.  Tom's had some ideas.
I haven't played with any yet.	I need to dig them out of their blisters
and get them mounted at least.

The blast markers are a gimmick and you're welcome to put them back in.
They can affect the shields as they would normally in BFG.  I think it's
a bit of a stretch, however, for the resulting debris and atmosphere
from one 
ship to have any significant effect on the shields of another ship tens
or hundreds or thousands of kms from the attacked ship.

Plus if a ship can "pass over" a planet and not be destroyed, why can't 
it "pass over" a blast marker and not have its shields reduced?  Are 
blast markers now infinitely long in the z axis out of the table?

It's a game for when I'm in a silly type of mood.
