Sol-SDN designs

I'd have to agree with Tony and Schoon (FSE players have to stick
together)
about the Hull of the UN SD's.	IMO SDN's and BDN's should have average
hulls at
least.	Hull integerity is an important facet of ship survivabilty and
although
screens and armor also factor into the mix it seems that the strengh of
the hull
is important to how many times a ship can be repaired after a battle. 
An
example that everyone who has been in an auto accident can relate to: 
after an
auto accident a car can have a new quarter panal put on and it will
drive and
look the same.	If in the accident you also damaged the frame of the car
then
the cost of repair goes way up and there is a chance that although the
car may
look the same it may not perform as well due to a weakness in the frame
(shakes
and rattles abit).  Now take that car in for repairs on multipule
occasions, it
gets worse and worse after every repair.  SDN's and BDN's are not
designed to
fight one battle, they are designed to fight, survive, be repaired if
possible
and returned to action.  Dedicated "Ships of the Wall" need to be like
Timex
watches, "Take a licking and keep on ticking".
