Ditto. And I can't afford to be 'intrigued' today (too much stuff I
gotta deal with this morning at work here). Lessee....how would you
scale the size classes....to be something akin to 1 Size Class is
approximately the same as 10-20 Mass? (let's use 20 Mass to start
with and reduce from there if need be). Make all vehicles fragile
or weak (10-20% for hull), give it armour out the wazoo (maybe Phalon-
type armour??), then load in weapons.

Hmmmmm! Damn, damn, damn. Now I'm going to be thinking about this
all day....
