Both these versions assume that there are no organic marines already
included in the crew BFs. They also have very serious game balance
problems if you start using ST-style teleporters - you basically remove
all ships too small to carry screens from the game, since a single
Marine BF would be sufficient to capture them - and they don't have
enough Mass to carry pure marine BFs of their own.
